    Abstract: A high power LED lamp has a GaN chip placed over an AlGaInP chip. A reflector is placed between the two chips. Each of the chips has trenches diverting light for output. The chip pair can be arranged to produce white light having a spectral distribution in the red to blue region that is close to that of daylight. Also, the chip pair can be used to provide an RGB lamp or a red-amber-green traffic lamp. The active regions of both chips can be less than 50 microns away from a heat sink.

  • Patent number: 8350276
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting device. In the light emitting device of the present invention, light emitting cells of a first light emitting cell block and light emitting cells of a second light emitting cell block corresponding thereto are connected in parallel so that a current can cross the light emitting cells of the first and second light emitting cell blocks. Thus, even though a leakage current occurs in some of light emitting cells, the current is allowed to cross light emitting cells connected in another direction, thereby preventing overload on some of the light emitting cells due to the leakage current and ensuring uniform light emission and prolonged life span in the AC light emitting device.

    Abstract: A heat radiation structure of a light emitting element has leads, each lead having a plurality of leg sections, and a light emitting chip mounted on any one of the leads. The present invention can provide a high-efficiency light emitting element, in which a thermal load is reduced by widening a connecting section through which a lead and a chip seating section of the light emitting element are connected, and the heat generated from a heat source can be more rapidly radiated to the outside. Further, the present invention can also provide a high-efficiency light emitting element, in which heat radiation fins are formed between a stopper and a molding portion of a lead of the light emitting element so that natural convection can occur between the heat radiation fins, and an area in which heat radiation can occur is widened to maximize a heat radiation effect.

    Abstract: When metal junction between a first electrode and a second electrode is executed as ultrasonic bonding between metals including at least copper, the ultrasonic bonding is performed in a state that a contact interface between the first electrode and the second electrode is covered with a bonding auxiliary agent. As a result, formation of oxide at a bonding interface between the first electrode and the second electrode due to execution of the ultrasonic bonding can be suppressed. Therefore, while a desired bonding strength is ensured, ultrasonic bonding with copper used for the first electrode or the second electrode can be fulfilled and cost cuts in mounting of semiconductor devices can be achieved.
