Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A light source assembly includes a plurality of light source modules detachably connected to one another. Each light source module includes a frame part, an electrical connection part, and at least one light emitting device. The frame part includes a female coupling disposed in one side surface thereof and a male coupling disposed on another side surface thereof and configured to be engaged with a female coupling of another light source module of the plurality. The electrical connection part is disposed on an upper surface of the frame part and extends onto the one side surface having the female coupling disposed therein and onto the other side surface having the female coupling disposed thereon. The at least one light emitting device is mounted on the electrical connection part and disposed on the upper surface of the frame part.
