Connector integrated with a LED element

摘要

An elastic connector integrated with electrodes on at least either a chip-type LED or a circuit board facing each other is sandwiched and compressed by the chip-type LED and the circuit board so as to provide an electric connection. The thus obtained integrated connector is thin and cost-effective while able to provide a secure conductivity between the electrodes of the printed circuit board and the chip-type LED in a simple connection method, and a LED including the integrated connector also is provided.
