    Abstract: A LED flip-chip package substrate includes a ceramic base (e.g., aluminum nitride base), a conductive wire layer disposed on the ceramic base and having pads in pairs, an insulating protective layer (e.g., low-temperature glass glaze layer) disposed on a same side of the ceramic base as the conductive wire layer and exposing the pads, and a metallic reflective layer (e.g., aluminum layer) disposed on a side of the insulating protective layer facing away from the ceramic base and exposing the pads. Moreover, a LED package structure adopting the LED flip-chip package substrate and other LED package structures with similar material layers such as a chip-level packaged LED package structure are provided. By comprehensively utilizing advantages of various materials, the LED flip-chip package substrate with high heat conductivity, high reflectivity, high stability and superior insulation and the LED package structure with high reliability and even high light extraction efficiency are obtained.

  • Patent number: 9900095
    Abstract: An LED module has a controller with a modulator and illumination driver, and first and second LED chains. The first LED chain is connected to the modulator, has a first group of LED cells, and emits a first light under a pulse mode current input from the modulator. The first light has a digital data over a signal carrier. The second LED chain is connected to the illumination driver, has a second group of LED cells, and emits a second light under a constant current input from the illumination driver. There are fewer LED cells in the first group than the second group. The illumination driver is independent from the modulator in controlling emission of the first light. Alternatively, the LED module has a controller, an LED chain connected to the modulator, a first group of LED cells, and a second group of LED cells directly connected to the first group of LED cells.
