Abstract: In a backlight apparatus used in an LCD, in which upper and lower reflective plates are installed under upper and lower transparent plates, respectively. The lower transparent plates and the lower reflective plates introduce light generated by lower light sources in upward directions and the upper transparent plate and the upper reflective plates introduce light generated by an upper light source into those areas, which are not lighted by the lower light sources. This can prevent the formation of dark areas above the lower light sources thereby enhancing the overall uniformity of light.

Abstract: An LED package comprises a substrate, one or three terminals formed on a first side of the substrate, three terminals formed on a second side opposite to the first side, and two or three LEDs disposed on the substrate, one of the LEDS being electrically connected to one of the terminals formed on the first side while being electrically connected to one of the terminals formed on the second side, and other LEDS being electrically connected to two terminals formed on the first side or to two terminals formed on the second side. A light source comprises the LED packages having the structure as described above. Without being arranged in a line, the LEDs emitting the same color are differently arranged in every LED package, thereby solving the problem of non-uniform combination of the colors according to the positions of the LEDs on an LED package-mounting substrate.

Abstract: A backlight unit of a liquid crystal display includes a plurality of light emitting diode packages arranged in a matrix while being spaced a uniform distance apart from each other. Each light emitting diode package includes one or more light emitting diode chips and is structured such that light generated from the light emitting chips is emitted in the horizontal direction. A reflector consists of a plurality of reflection cells connected to each other in a matrix. Each of the reflection cells of a unit size has each of the light generating packages positioned at the center thereof, and reflects the light, emitted from the light emitting diode at the center thereof in the horizontal direction, in the vertical direction.

Abstract: A multi-lens LED has multiple lenses and an intermediate layer interposed between the multiple lenses in order to radiate light emitted from an LED chip in a desired direction and/or at a desired beam angle. The first lens is centered behind the LED chip when seen in the propagation direction of light. The second lens has a concave structure and surrounds the first lens. The intermediate layer is interposed between the first and second lenses, so that light emitted from the LED chip can be radiated at a wide beam angle. When provided in the form of a hemisphere, the multi-lens LED can be attached, e.g., to a wall or a ceiling for interior lighting. On the other hand, when provided in the form of a semicylinder, the multi-lens LEDs can be arranged in arrays to be used, e.g., as a light source of an LCD backlight apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an LED lens, in which a planar bottom has a pair of halves symmetrically connected with each other about a reference line and narrowed in the vicinity of the reference line. A pair of substantially semicircular reflecting surfaces are extended from both edges of the bottom connected with both ends of the reference line. A radiating surface is connected with remaining edges of the bottom and semicircular edges of the reflecting surfaces. The reflecting surfaces reflect light beams are introduced from the LED chip through the bottom toward the radiating surface. The radiating surface radiates the light beams to the outside when the light beams are introduced to the radiating surface through reflection from the reflecting surfaces and directly through the bottom, so that the light beams are radiated to the outside in a predetermined beam angle.

Abstract: An LED package in which an LED chip a body has a cup part housing an LED chip. The cup part has a step formed in the outer circumference of the top thereof. A lens is mounted on the cup part, and has a flange extended downward from the outer circumference of the lens along the outside wall of the cup part to form a gap between the flange and the downward step of the cup part and to seal the gap from the outside. Resin material fills a space formed between the underside of the lens and the cup part and at least partially the gap formed between the step of the cup part and the lens flange. The resin material is prevented from leaking out of the LED package. The LED package of the invention prevents the creation of voids in the resin material surrounding the LED chip or the leakage of the resin material to the outside.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a vertical light emitting type backlight module, for irradiating white light to the rear side of a liquid crystal display in the perpendicular direction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a light emitting diode (LED) device. The light emitting diode device comprises a package formed with a terminal for applying an electrical signal, one or more LED chips mounted on the package such that the LED chips are electrically connected to the terminal, a lens formed to surround the LED chips on the package for changing path of light emitted from the LED chips to the horizontal direction with the difference of the refraction rates of the media, and a reflector formed on the lens for reflecting the light, emitted above the lens without being refracted in the horizontal direction at the lens, to the horizontal direction. The LED device reflects the light, which is deviated from the optical design range of the lens and emitted above the lens, back to the lens, thereby preventing the hot spot from being generated, and enhancing horizontal emission efficiency of the light.

Abstract: A high power LED package, in which substantially planar first and second lead frames made of high reflectivity metal are spaced from each other for a predetermined gap. An LED chip is seated on at least one of the lead frames, and having terminals electrically connected to the lead frames, respectively. A package body made of resin seals the LED chip therein while fixedly securing the lead frame in the bottom thereof. The encapsulant preferably fills up the gap between the first and second lead frames. The LED package is structured to raise thermal radiation efficiency thereby reducing the size and thickness thereof.
