  • Patent number: 8084779
    Abstract: A casting adapted to carry a light emitting diode die and an anti-static die is disclosed. The casting comprises two electrodes for opposite electrodes and a wall. The light emitting diode die is mounted one of electrodes and the anti-static die is mounted on the other electrode. The wall is arranged between the light emitting diode die and the anti-static die. Further, the height of the wall is larger than that of the anti-static die to shade the anti-static die, whereby reflecting the light emitted from the light emitting diode die. Therefore, the reflection ratio of the light emitting diode die is improved, and the intensity generated by the whole light emitting diode is also improved.
