Abstract
A light source support assembly for an automotive vehicle, the light source support assembly includes at least two rigid Printed Circuit Board (PCB) parts having a first rigid PCB part and a second rigid PCB part. The first rigid PCB part is mounted with a plurality of first components that are heat generating components and the second rigid PCB part is mounted with a plurality of second components that are components not generating heat or components generating less heat compared to the plurality of first components. A flexible connecting part interconnecting the first rigid PCB part and the second rigid PCB part, and includes at least one bendable portion configured to bend the light source support assembly.

A light source support assembly for an automotive vehicle, the light source support assembly comprises:
- at least two rigid Printed Circuit Board (PCB) parts comprising a first rigid PCB part and a second rigid PCB part,
- wherein the first rigid PCB part is mounted with a plurality of first components that are heat generated components and the second rigid PCB part is mounted with a plurality of second components that are non-heat generated components or less heat generated components compared to the plurality of first components;
- and
- a flexible connecting part interconnecting the first rigid PCB part and the second rigid PCB part to one another such that longitudinal axes of the first rigid PCB part, the second rigid PCB part and the flexible connecting part are parallel to one another,
- wherein the flexible connecting part includes at least one bendable portion configured to bend the light source support assembly,
- wherein the flexible connecting part includes two bendable portions and a rigid portion formed between the two bendable portions,
- wherein the two bendable portions each are thinner than the first and second rigid PCB parts, and the rigid portion and at least one of the first and second PCB rigid parts are at a same height.
