Light emitting modules with optical data transmission

Abstract

A light emitting module including a first surface having a plurality of light emitting elements, a second surface configured to receive driving signals and to transfer these signals to the light emitting elements of the first surface. The second surface includes a plurality of optical transmitters, in which the optical transmitters are each associated to an associated optical receiver arranged on the first surface, the optical transmitter and the associated opposing optical receiver being separated by an optical medium, such that an optical signal including driving signals transmitted by the optical transmitter is received by the opposing optical receiver, each optical receiver being connected to at least one light emitting element and is configured to transform the optical signal into an electrical signal configured to drive the at least one light emitting element to generate an image on the display.
