[0037] Example 1

[0038] See also Figure 1 The main body of this embodiment is a flip-chip LED chip, which includes:

[0039] A substrate 10, the substrate 10 having a light emitting surface 11 and a light facing surface arranged opposite to each other;

[0040] A light emitting structure 30, which is disposed on the light-facing surface and is used to emit light of a preset wavelength;

[0041] A low reflection layer 40, which is disposed on a surface of the light emitting structure 30 that faces away from the substrate 10;

[0042] The light-transmitting protrusions 20 are in a shape protruding in a direction away from the substrate 10 and are arranged in an array on the light-emitting surface 11 at intervals from each other. The array formed by each light-transmitting protrusion 20 includes at least a first arrangement area 20a and a second arrangement area 20b. The first arrangement area 20a is arranged in the central part of the light-emitting surface 11, and the second arrangement area 20b is arranged on the outside of the first arrangement area 20a. The coverage rate of the light-transmitting protrusions 20 on the light-emitting surface 11 in the first arrangement area 20a is greater than the coverage rate of the light-transmitting protrusions 20 on the light-emitting surface 11 in the second arrangement area 20b.

[0043] For the LED chip, the positive light emitted from the center of the light emitting surface 11 is greater than the positive light emitted from the edge of the light emitting surface 11. Figure 2 For the convenience of display, Figure 2 Only the areas of the light emitting surface 11 corresponding to the first arrangement area 20a and the second arrangement area 20b are shown. The present application divides the light-transmitting protrusions 20 arranged in an array on the light emitting surface 11 of the substrate 10 into the first arrangement area 20a and the second arrangement area 20b, wherein the coverage of the light-transmitting protrusions 20 on the light emitting surface 11 in the first arrangement area 20a is greater than the coverage of the light-transmitting protrusions 20 on the light emitting surface 11 in the second arrangement area 20b. At the same time, the first arrangement area 20a is located in the central part of the light emitting surface 11. The light-transmitting protrusions 20 arranged in the central part of the light emitting surface 11 are denser than the light-transmitting protrusions 20 arranged at the edge of the light emitting surface 11, which is adapted to the light emitting conditions of the chip. Most of the positive direction light originally emitted from the central part of the light emitting surface 11 will be reflected or transmitted to change the light emitting path, and emitted along the side, thereby improving the light intensity of the light emitted from the side of the chip.

[0044] It is understandable that in the prior art described above, since the light-transmitting protrusions 20 are evenly arranged, there are many lights emitted in the positive direction from the central part of the light-emitting surface 11, while the lights emitted from the edge of the light-emitting surface 11 are weak in the positive direction, and the light-transmitting protrusions 20 with a higher coverage rate cannot significantly increase the light intensity at the side. Compared with the prior art described above, this embodiment rationalizes the arrangement density of the light-transmitting protrusions 20 at different positions, thereby changing the light path of some of the light that would originally be emitted in the positive direction from the central part of the light-emitting surface 11 and emitting from the side, thereby increasing the light intensity of the light emitted from the side of the chip.

[0045] It is also understandable that the implementers can also design the corresponding pattern on the light-emitting surface 11 according to the actual needs of the chip's light-emitting method, and regionally change the light-emitting path so that the light is directly emitted from the pattern area through the light-emitting surface 11, thereby directly customizing the change in the light shape and light-emitting angle.

[0046] It should be noted that the coverage rate described above can reflect the chip's ability to emit light in the positive direction in the area corresponding to the light-emitting surface 11. Under the premise that the size of the light-transmitting protrusions 20 is consistent, in the area with a unit area on the light-emitting surface 11, the number of light-transmitting protrusions 20 arranged is small, and a smaller area of ​​the light-emitting surface 11 is covered by the light-transmitting protrusions 20, and more light will be emitted in the positive direction from the gaps between the light-transmitting protrusions 20. At this time, the light intensity of the light in the positive direction of the light-emitting surface 11 is higher, while the light intensity of the light in the side direction is weaker. At the same time, in the area with a unit area on the light emitting surface 11, the more the number of arranged light-transmitting protrusions 20 is, the larger the area of ​​the light emitting surface 11 is covered by the light-transmitting protrusions 20, and more light will be reflected by the light-transmitting protrusions 20 or emitted with a changed light emitting path. The reflected light will be reflected and emitted from the side of the chip, or will be emitted after being reflected by the lower reflection layer 40, thereby reducing the light intensity of the light in the positive direction of the light emitting surface 11 and increasing the light intensity in the side direction.

[0047] In addition, it should be noted that, in addition to the consistent size of each light-transmitting protrusion 20 shown in this embodiment, the implementer can also adjust the coverage of the light-transmitting protrusion 20 per unit area on the light-emitting surface 11 in the first arrangement area 20a and the second arrangement area 20b by changing the size of the light-transmitting protrusion 20.

[0048] More specifically, in the present embodiment, the size and shape of each light-transmitting protrusion 20 are consistent. In the first arrangement area 20a, there is a first spacing between any two adjacent light-transmitting protrusions 20, and in the second arrangement area 20b, there is a second spacing between any two adjacent light-transmitting protrusions 20, wherein the first spacing is smaller than the second spacing. Among them, the implementer can select the specific values ​​of the above-mentioned first spacing and the second spacing according to their own needs. As long as the first spacing is smaller than the second spacing, the number of light-transmitting protrusions 20 arranged per unit area in the first arrangement area 20a and the second arrangement area 20b will be different, thereby making the coverage rate of the light-transmitting protrusions 20 on the light-emitting surface 11 in the first arrangement area 20a greater than the coverage rate of the light-transmitting protrusions 20 on the light-emitting surface 11 in the second arrangement area 20b. Schematically, the first spacing can be selected between 0.5nm and 5nm, and the second spacing can be selected between 2 and 10nm.

[0049] For the first arrangement area 20a and the second arrangement area 20b, as long as the first arrangement area 20a is arranged in the central part of the light emitting surface 11, and the second arrangement area 20b is arranged on any one side or outside any several sides of the first arrangement area 20a. For example, in another embodiment, the second arrangement area 20b is arranged outside one side of the first arrangement area 20a. For another example, in another embodiment, the second arrangement area 20b is arranged outside the opposite sides of the first arrangement area 20a. In the present embodiment, the second arrangement area 20b surrounds the first arrangement area 20a and is arranged at the edge of the light emitting surface 11.

[0050] Regarding the shape of the light-transmitting protrusion 20, in this embodiment, the light-transmitting protrusion 20 is in the shape of a frustum, and the implementer can specifically set the shape of the light-transmitting protrusion 20 according to their own needs, for example, the light-transmitting protrusion 20 is set to: the cross section perpendicular to the light-emitting surface 11 is in any one of an arcuate, a trapezoid, and a triangle, or any combination of several thereof. This application does not make any special limitation on this.

[0051] In addition, it can be understood that, for the light-transmitting protrusion 20 described above, when the light enters the light-transmitting protrusion 20 from the substrate 10, it will be partially reflected. At the same time, when the light is emitted from the outer contour of the light-transmitting protrusion 20, since the outer contour of the protrusion structure is not flat compared to the light-emitting surface 11, the path of the light will change greatly, realizing the change of the light-emitting angle, and avoiding the light-emitting direction being concentrated in one direction. Figure 3 Taking the semi-spherical light-transmitting protrusion 20 used in another embodiment as an example, when light is emitted from the spherical surface of the light-transmitting protrusion 20, the light will be emitted in all directions. At the same time, in this embodiment, in order to enhance the partial reflection effect of the light-transmitting protrusion 20, each light-transmitting protrusion 20 includes a semi-transmitting and semi-reflecting metal layer 21 and an upper reflection layer 22, and the semi-transmitting and semi-reflecting metal layer 21 and the upper reflection layer 22 are sequentially stacked in a direction away from the light-emitting surface 11.

[0052] At the same time, the technical solution provided in this embodiment is to process a light-transmitting protrusion 20 on a flip-chip LED that can resonate and enhance light of a preset wavelength. An upper reflection structure (including a semi-reflective and semi-transmissive film layer and an upper reflection layer sequentially stacked on the light-emitting surface 11 in the form of a whole surface) is originally provided on the light-emitting surface 11 of the substrate 10, which is used to cooperate with the lower reflection layer 40 to form an optical resonance structure to enhance the light of a preset wavelength. This embodiment mainly performs patterning on the upper reflection structure to form the light-transmitting protrusion 20. It can be understood that although the light-transmitting protrusion 20 reduces the coverage of the upper reflection structure, the upper reflection structure can still play a certain degree of resonance. Therefore, in this embodiment, the lower reflection layer 40 reflects part of the light reflected by the light-transmitting protrusion 20 back to the light-transmitting protrusion 20, so that the light is emitted after resonance enhancement in the optical resonance structure.

[0053] Here, the light of preset wavelength mainly refers to the light expected to be emitted by the light emitting structure 30 when power is turned on. Flip-chip LED chips generally emit light of different wavelengths depending on the light emitting structure 30. Specifically, the light of preset wavelength indicated in the foregoing may be red light, blue light, yellow light or other expected light. The resonant structure described in the foregoing is configured to match the preset wavelength, that is, the resonant structure can be roughly divided into a resonant structure for enhancing red light, a resonant structure for enhancing blue light and a resonant structure for enhancing yellow light. In detail, depending on the wavelength of light, the optical spacing between the upper reflection structure and the lower reflection layer 40 in the resonant structure is also different. Among the related technical solutions, some contents of forming an optical resonant structure using an upper reflection structure and a lower reflection layer 40 have been disclosed, so the present application will no longer summarize the contents such as the optical spacing described above.

[0054] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21 is mainly provided to form resonance. The semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21 has a lower absorption rate of light and can reflect more light, thereby enhancing the resonance effect of the resonant structure. In addition, the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21 also has the advantage of better flatness. The semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21 can be a single film layer of Al / Pt / Ag or a laminated structure formed by any of Al / Pt / Ag. The film thickness can be set to be thinner (for example, to ), so that the metal layer is in a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective state. Of course, the implementer can also omit the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21. For example, in another embodiment, each light-transmitting protrusion 20 only includes an upper reflective layer 22 stacked on the light-emitting surface 11.

[0055] More specifically, in this embodiment, the upper reflection layer 22 includes at least one refractive layer, and there is a refractive layer connected to the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21, and its refractive index is configured to be higher than that of the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21. Among them, since it is connected to the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21 through the refractive layer, and the refractive index of the refractive layer is higher than that of the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21, the outgoing light can be strongly reflected here, further enhancing the resonance effect of the resonant structure.

[0056] It can be understood that the upper reflection layer 22 may be provided with only one refractive layer or multiple refractive layers. In the present embodiment, in addition to the refractive layer connected to the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21 as described above, it also includes multiple refractive layers stacked in sequence, and the two adjacent refractive layers have different refractive indices, so that the upper reflection layer 22 constitutes a Bragg reflection layer to enhance the reflection effect.

[0057] In detail, each refractive layer is alternately arranged in the direction opposite to the light exiting surface 11 in the form of a high refractive index refractive layer and a low refractive index refractive layer. The high refractive index refractive layer here refers to a layer having a higher refractive index than the adjacent low refractive index refractive layer, and the corresponding low refractive index refractive layer refers to a layer having a lower refractive index than the adjacent high refractive index refractive layer. The high refractive index refractive layer can be any one of TiO, TiO2, Ti3O5, HfO2, and ZrO2, and the low refractive index refractive layer can be SiO2, SiN X Equal film layer.

[0058] Regarding the lower reflection layer 40, it is mainly used to reflect the reflected light back to the light-emitting surface 11 of the substrate 10. In the present embodiment, the lower reflection layer 40 adopts a Bragg reflection layer structure, whose reflectivity is higher than the reflectivity of the upper reflection layer 22, and is arranged between the two sides of the active layer 32 together with the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective metal layer 21 and the upper reflection layer 22, to form an optical resonance structure, thereby enhancing the emitted light and improving the color purity of the emitted light.

[0059] More specifically, with regard to the light emitting structure 30, in the present embodiment, the light emitting structure 30 includes a first semiconductor layer 31, an active layer 32, and a second semiconductor layer 33 which are sequentially stacked and connected on the light-facing surface of the substrate 10, the conductivity types of the first semiconductor layer 31 and the second semiconductor layer 33 are opposite to each other, the first semiconductor layer 31, the active layer 32, and the second semiconductor layer 33 are sequentially stacked on the substrate 10, and the light emitting structure 30 also includes a first electrode 51 and a second electrode 52, the first electrode 51 is connected to the first semiconductor layer 31, and the second electrode 52 is connected to the second semiconductor layer 33.

[0060] The first semiconductor layer 31 is an N-type semiconductor layer, and the second semiconductor layer 33 is a P-type semiconductor layer. The corresponding first electrode 51 is an N-type electrode, and the second electrode 52 is a P-type electrode. Correspondingly, the lower reflection layer 40 is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. The first electrode 51 extends out of the lower reflection layer 40 through the first through hole, and the second electrode 52 extends out of the lower reflection layer 40 through the second through hole. The portion where the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 extend out of the lower reflection layer 40 constitutes a pad portion.
