Cell, packaging system, and method for fabricating the packaging system

摘要

The present invention provides cells which are capable of transmitting both optical information and electrical signals when connected with each other, and a packaging system in which these cells are connected. A first connector and a second connector are formed on each cell. These two connectors are configured complementary to each other. When two cells are pressed against each other with the first connector of one of the cells facing the second connector of the other, electrical connectors engage with each other, whereby the cells are connected electrically and mechanically. A first optical device and a second optical device are also disposed in complementary positions. When the cells are connected electrically and mechanically, the tip of the first optical device and the tip of the second optical device are brought into contact with each other, allowing an optical signal to be transmitted.
