Abstract:
A light emitting element module comprising:a board;a plurality of chips positioned on said board, each of said chips having a first side, a second side, a third side located opposite said first side, and a fourth side located opposite said second side; anda plurality of light emitting elements positioned on an upper surface of said chips;each of said chips having a substantially parallelogram shape, wherein said first side of said chip intersects said second side of said chip at an oblique angle;said light emitting elements being linearly arranged on said chips, such that said light emitting elements form a line along said first side of said chip;said line of said light emitting elements being located closer to said first side of said chip than to said thirdside of said chip;said chips being positioned on said board such that each of said lines of said light emitting elements on each of said chips is aligned to form a line of said light emitting elements across said board;said chips being positioned on said board in a staggered arrangement, wherein each of said first sides of said chips is alternately positioned with respect to said line of said light emitting elements across said board;each of said chips having a first light emitting element positioned closest to said second side of said chip, wherein said first light emitting element has an outer side that is closest to said second side of said chip, wherein said outer side of said first light emitting element is parallel to said second side of said chip;each of said chips having a last light emitting element positioned closest to said fourth side of said chip, wherein said last light emitting element has an outer side that is closest to said fourth side of said chip, wherein said outer side of said last light emitting element is parallel to said fourth side of said chip.
