  • Publication number: 20230003372
    Abstract: A light source module is provided. The light source module includes a metal substrate, a ceramic substrate, a heat conducting element, and a light emitting unit. The metal substrate has a surface. The ceramic substrate is disposed on the surface of the metal substrate, and the ceramic substrate has an upper surface. The heat conducting element partially covers the upper surface of the ceramic substrate and the surface of the metal substrate. The light emitting unit is disposed on the upper surface of the ceramic substrate. When the light emitting unit emits light, a portion of the heat generated by the light emitting unit is conducted from the ceramic substrate to the metal substrate via the heat conducting element.

  • Publication number: 20180299093
    Abstract: A light source module for an illumination device and the illumination device are provided. The illumination device comprises a stationary base having a first fixing structure. The light source module comprises a seat, at least one light emitting diode and a heat dissipation body. The seat extends along an axis and has a carrying surface. The light emitting diode is disposed on the carrying surface. The heat dissipation body is connected with an end of the seat and has a second fixing structure which is able to assemble with the first fixing structure so that the light source module can be secured on the stationary base of the light source module. Thereby, the length of the seat can be reduced and the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation body can be increased.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating a light emitting diode (LED) chip is provided. First, a substrate is provided. A buffer layer is formed on the substrate. The buffer layer is patterned to form a plurality of recesses on a surface thereof. A first type semiconductor layer is formed on the surface of the buffer layer. A portion of the surface where the first type semiconductor layer and the buffer layer are in contact constitutes a bonding surface, and voids exist between the buffer layer and the first type semiconductor layer. An active layer and a second type semiconductor layer are formed on the first type semiconductor layer in sequence. A second electrode is formed on the second type semiconductor layer. A lift-off process is performed to separate the first type semiconductor layer and the buffer layer.

  • Patent number: 8153455
    Abstract: A method for enhancing light extraction efficiency of a light emitting diode is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a light emitting diode including in sequence a substrate, a first layer of a first conduction type, an active layer, and a second layer of a second conduction type opposite to the first conduction type; growing a number of protrusions on at least one layer selected from the first layer, the active layer, and the second layer of the light emitting diode to form a patterned oxide layer for protecting the light emitting diode from etch; controlling height of the protrusions to achieve a predetermined etching depth of the light emitting diode; dry etching through a portion of the light emitting diode which is not protected by the patterned oxide layer to form a plurality of depressions on the light emitting diode; and removing the oxide layer from the selected layer. The light emitting diode is patterned so that more light beams can be emitted.

  • Publication number: 20120049179
    Abstract: A method for enhancing light extraction efficiency of a group-III nitride-based light emitting device is disclosed. By roughening a n-type group-III nitride-based cladding layer or an undoped group-III nitride-based layer, a reflecting layer is formed. Because of gaps on the roughened surface, total internal reflection occurs, and light beams can be reflected back to a top surface of the light emitting device. Thus, the light extraction efficiency can be increased, and more light beams can be collected in a desired direction.
