    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.

  • Patent number: 7750361
    Abstract: A surface mount LED apparatus is provided which can prevent separation of the surface of an LED chip from a sealing resin portion. Patterned circuits on a substrate are provided with a device mounting region and a wire bond region, and an increased-thickness portion having a thickness 1.6 times or more than the greater of the thickness of the device mounting region and the thickness of the wire bond region. When the apparatus is heated, this configuration allows for inducing interfacial separation between the increased-thickness portion and the sealing resin portion earlier than interfacial separation is induced between the LED chip and the sealing resin portion. This configuration can prevent interfacial separation between the LED chip and the sealing resin portion.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a light emitting device having a plurality of light emitting cells and a package having the same mounted thereon. The light emitting device includes a plurality of light emitting cells which are formed on a substrate and each of which has an N-type semiconductor layer and a P-type semiconductor layer located on a portion of the N-type semiconductor layer. The plurality of light emitting cells are bonded to a submount substrate. Accordingly, heat generated from the light emitting cells can be easily dissipated, so that a thermal load on the light emitting device can be reduced. Meanwhile, since the plurality of light emitting cells are electrically connected using connection electrodes or electrode layers formed on the submount substrate, it is possible to provide light emitting cell arrays connected to each other in series.
