  • Patent number: 7868347
    Abstract: A new SMD (surface mount devices) package design for efficiently removing heat from LED Chip(s) is involved in this invention. Different from the regular SMD package, which electrical isolated materials like Alumina or AlN are used, the substrate material here is metal like Copper, Aluminum and so on. Also, different from regular design, which most time only has one LED chip inside, current design will at least have two or more LED chips (or chip groups) in one package. All chips are electrical connected via metal blocks, traces or wire-bond. This type of structure is generally fabricated via chemical etching and then filled with dielectric material inside to form a strong package. Because the thermal conductivity of the metal is much higher than the ceramics, the package thermal resistance is much lower than the ceramics based package. Also, the cost of the package is much lower than ceramics package. Moreover, emitting area in one package is much larger than the current arts.

  • Publication number: 20100295070
    Abstract: A light emitting device comprises a plurality of LED chips (“lateral” or “vertical” conducting) operable to generate light of a first wavelength range and a package for housing the chips. The package comprises: a thermally conducting substrate (copper) on which the LED chips are mounted and a cover having a plurality of through-holes in which each hole corresponds to a respective one of the LED chips. The holes are configured such that when the cover is mounted to the substrate each hole in conjunction with the substrate defines a recess in which a respective chip is housed. Each recess is at least partially filled with a mixture of at least one phosphor material and a transparent material. In a device with “lateral” conducting LED chips a PCB is mounted on the substrate and includes a plurality of through-holes which are configured such that each chip is directly mounted to the substrate. For a device with “vertical” conducting LED chips the LED chips are mounted on a diamond like carbon film.
