Abstract: LED packages are disclosed capable of emitting a range of colors including white light, while still emitting that can have a high color rendering index (CRI). The LED packages can have a simplified reflective cup arrangement and improved lead frame design. The LED packages according to the present invention comprise one or more LED WITH PHOSPHORs for high CRI lighting applications, along with multiple narrowband emitters (e.g. RGB LEDs), but do not have a dam or partition to segregate the LED WITH PHOSPHOR from the multiple emitters. This results in a LED package that is less complex and easier to manufacture, while still providing the desired flexibility in LED package emissions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to leadless LED packages and LED displays utilizing white ceramic casings and thin/low profile packages with improved color mixing and structural integrity. In some embodiments, the improved color mixing is provided, in part, by the white ceramic package casing, which can help reflect light emitted from each LED in many directions away from the device. The non-linear arrangement of the LEDs can also contribute to improved color-mixing. The improved structural integrity can be provided by various features in the bond pads that cooperate with the casing for a stronger package structure. Moreover, in some embodiments the thinness/low profile of each package is attributed to its leadless structure, with the bond pads and electrodes electrically connected via through-holes.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to LED packages and LED displays utilizing water resistant packages with improved structural integrity and customizable attributes. In some embodiments, the improved structural integrity is provided by various features in the lead frame that the casing material encompasses to improve the adhesion between the lead frame and the casing for a stronger, water resistant package. Moreover, in some embodiments the improved structural integrity and water resistance is further provided by cavity features that improve adhesion between the cavity and a protective encapsulant. Some embodiments also provide for packages with a greater overall height than the length of their side-exposed solder pins, which improves gel coverage of the side-exposed solder pins between adjacent packages.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to LED packages and methods utilizing waterproof and UV resistant packages with improved structural integrity. In some embodiments, the improved structural integrity is provided by various features in the lead frame that the casing material encompasses to improve the adhesion between the lead frame and the casing for a stronger, waterproof package.
