Abstract

The light source module provided by the present invention includes a base plate and a plurality of LED lights arranged on the base plate. These LED lights are distributed on the base plate in such manner that all of the light centers of the LED lights define together a triangle shape. An angle of 50-70 degree is defined between a LED light and two adjacent LED lights. The present invention has many advantages. For example, because the LED lights are distributed in a triangle arrangement, the dark regions are reduced effectively. Moreover, alternative dark and bright strips are eliminated. In addition, the base plates can be assembled quickly by means of the connective members.

Claims

1. A light source module for assembling a plan light source which can evenly issue light from every point of the plan comprising:

a base plate (1);

a plurality of lines of LED lights (101, 102, 103 - - - ) arranged on the base plate (1) to form an array of LED lights; and

the LED lights (101, 102, 103 - - - ) of the array are distributed on the base plate (1) in even manner that three adjacent light centers of the LED lights (101, 102, 103 - - - ) define a triangle, and an angle of 50-70 degree is defined by a LED light and two adjacent LED lights.

2. The light source module as described in claim 1, wherein the angle defined by a LED light and two adjacent LED lights is 60 degree, the three light centers of the three adjacent lights form an equilateral triangle.

3. The light source module as described in claim 2, wherein distances between any two adjacent LED lights are the same.

4. The light source module as described in claim 3, wherein effective light coverage of the LED lights (101, 102, 103 - - - ) are circular shapes and these coverages are tangential one to another at peripheries thereof;

and a virtual light source is formed among three adjacent LED lights, the virtual light source is a dark region (104) having a shape similar to triangle.

5. The light source module as described in claim 1, wherein the base plate (1) has a first and second connective members (105, 107) provided on an undersurface of the base plate (1);

the first connective member (105) has a first insertion pin (106) provided thereon;

while the second connective member (107) has a second insertion pin (108) equipped thereon; and

the first and second insertion pins (106, 108) are orientated in opposite directions.

6. The light source module as described in claim 5, wherein the first and second insertion pins (106, 108) are inserted into chambers defined respectively in the first and second connective members (105, 107) so as to assemble two base plates (1 and 2) together.
