[0032] Example 1
[0033] A light-emitting diode packaged device for use in optocouplers, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, on the front side of the packaging substrate 5, there are spaced light input first electrode pad 5.1, light input second electrode pad 5.2, light detection first electrode pad 5.3, and light detection second electrode pad 5.4; the light input first electrode pad 5.1 and the light input second electrode pad 5.2 are connected to the input power supply 6 through wires; the light detection first electrode pad 5.3 and the light detection second electrode pad 5.4 are connected to the current detector 7 through wires.
[0034] On the front side of the packaging substrate 5, light-emitting diodes 3 and photodetectors 4 are arranged at intervals. The light-emitting diodes 3 are electrically connected to the first light-emitting electrode pad 5.1 and the second light-emitting electrode pad 5.2 via the first light-emitting pad and the second light-emitting pad, respectively. The photodetectors 4 are electrically connected to the first light-emitting electrode pad 5.3 and the second light-emitting electrode pad 5.4 via the first light-emitting pad and the second light-emitting pad, respectively.
[0035] The light input light-emitting diode 3 and the light detection diode 4 are connected through the substrate 2, and a distributed Bragg reflector 1 is provided on the front side of the substrate 2.
[0036] The substrate 2 between the light input LED 3 and the light detection LED 4 and the distributed Bragg reflector 1 are both integrally connected structures.
[0037] This structure effectively improves the optical coupling response frequency and efficiency through precise control and optimization of the spacing between the light-emitting diode 3 (light input diode) and the photodetector diode 4. Simultaneously, the integrated connection structure effectively simplifies the packaging process, improves packaging precision, and thus enhances the consistency of the optical coupling device's performance.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment adds the following technical features based on embodiment 1: a second insulating transparent adhesive 8.2 is filled between the back of the distributed Bragg reflector 1 and the front of the substrate 5 and the side of the substrate 2, and the refractive index of the second insulating transparent adhesive 8.2 is less than 1.3.
[0040] This structure can effectively enhance the transmission and reception of side light, thereby improving the coupling efficiency of the optical coupling device.

[0046] The first insulating transparent adhesive 8.1 has a refractive index greater than or equal to 1.5, and the second insulating transparent adhesive 8.2 has a refractive index less than 1.3.
[0047] This structure utilizes a principle similar to optical fiber to better confine light within the first insulating transparent adhesive 8.1 region, effectively enhancing light reception on the side of the photodetector diode, thereby improving the coupling efficiency of the optical coupling device.
[0048] Example 5
[0049] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the substrate 2 between the light input light-emitting diode 3 and the light detection diode 4 and the distributed Bragg reflector 1 are disconnected.
[0050] This structure allows for more flexible adjustment of optical coupling efficiency by adjusting the spacing between the light-input LED and the photodetector LED through packaging.
[0051] Example 6
[0052] like Figure 8 As shown, a light-emitting diode (LED) package for an optical coupling device has a light input first electrode pad 5.1, a light input second electrode pad 5.2, a light detection first electrode pad 5.3, and a light detection second electrode pad 5.4 spaced apart on the front side of the package substrate 5. The light input first electrode pad 5.1 and the light input second electrode pad 5.2 are connected to an input power supply 6 via wires; the light detection first electrode pad 5.3 and the light detection second electrode pad 5.4 are connected to a current detector 7 via wires.
[0053] On the front side of the encapsulation substrate 5, light input light-emitting diodes 3 and light detection diodes 4 are spaced apart. The light input light-emitting diodes 3 and light detection diodes 4 are connected through a substrate 2. The substrate 2 is connected to the encapsulation substrate 5 through an encapsulation insulating transparent adhesive 10.

The second light detection electrode on the photodetector diode 4 is electrically connected to the second light detection electrode pad 5.4 via the second light detection solder ball 9.4 and the fourth interconnect line.
[0055] This structure can also effectively improve the optical coupling response frequency and efficiency through precise control and optimization of the spacing between the light-input LED 3 and the photodetector LED 4. Furthermore, compared to Embodiment 1, the structure of the light-input LED and the photodetector LED is simpler, effectively reducing the cost of the coupling devices.
[0056] Example 7
[0057] like Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment adds the following technical features based on embodiment 6: a second insulating transparent adhesive 8.2 that can cover the lower side of the substrate 2 is filled on the front side of the packaging substrate 5; a first insulating transparent adhesive 8.1 that can cover the light input light-emitting diode 3 and the photodetector diode 4 is filled on the front side of the second insulating transparent adhesive 8.2; a second insulating transparent adhesive 8.2 is filled on the front side of the first insulating transparent adhesive 8.1; and the front side of the second insulating transparent adhesive 8.2 is a convex arc shape; the first interconnect line, the second interconnect line, the third interconnect line and the fourth interconnect line are located within the first insulating transparent adhesive 8.1 and the second insulating transparent adhesive 8.2.
[0058] The first insulating transparent adhesive 8.1 has a refractive index greater than or equal to 1.5, and the second insulating transparent adhesive 8.2 has a refractive index less than 1.3.
[0059] The principle and advantages of this structure are the same as those of Embodiment 4. Compared with Embodiment 4, the structure of the light input light-emitting diode 3 and the light detection diode 4 is simpler, and the cost of the coupling device is lower.
