Abstract: An LED device for providing an area light source and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The LED device for providing the area light source includes a substrate, a metal wiring layer and a plurality of LED chips. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the substrate ranges between 5 and 18 ppm/° C. on the X-Y direction, and a flexural strength ? ranges between 400 and 600 Mpa according to the ISO 178 test. The metal wiring layer is arranged on a top surface of the substrate. The plurality of LED chips are arranged on the top surface of the substrate for providing the area light source, and a cathode of the LED chips and an anode of the LED chips are separately and electrically connected to the metal wiring layer.
