[0042] The chip package 1 includes a light-emitting diode chip 200, a reflective layer 300 and a microlens layer ML. The reflective layer 300 surrounds the light-emitting diode chip 200. The microlens layer ML is arranged on the light-emitting diode chip 200 and the reflective layer 300 along the Z direction (stacking direction), and includes a plurality of microlenses 100 arranged in an array, and each microlens 100 may include glass or acrylic. Accordingly, the reflective layer 300 can reflect the large-viewing angle light from the light-emitting diode chip 200 to avoid light leakage; the plurality of microlenses 100 of the microlens layer ML can further allow the light from the light-emitting diode chip 200 and the reflective layer 300 to collect light toward the positive viewing angle. Through the above configuration, the brightness of the chip package 1 at the positive viewing angle can be greatly improved. Therefore, the optical coupling efficiency of the secondary optical design can be increased, the number of secondary optical elements can be reduced, and the volume of the optical system can be miniaturized.

[0043] In some embodiments, each microlens 100 has a width in the X direction and / or the Y direction, and the width may be less than 0.1 mm. Accordingly, one light-emitting diode chip 200 may correspond to multiple microlenses 100 to optimize the light field of the chip package 1, increase the optical coupling efficiency of the secondary optical design, reduce the number of secondary optical components, and miniaturize the volume of the optical system. In some embodiments, each microlens 100 may be a metalens.

[0044] In one embodiment, the chip package 1 may further include a color conversion layer 400. The color conversion layer 400 includes quantum dots and is disposed between the LED chip 200 and the microlens layer ML along the Z direction. In the X direction and the Y direction, the width of the color conversion layer 400 is greater than the width of the LED chip 200, and the overlapping reflective layer 300 faces the reflective surface of the LED chip 200, thereby ensuring that the light from the LED chip 200 and the reflective layer 300 can all penetrate the color conversion layer 400, thereby improving the color conversion rate. In addition, the width of the color conversion layer 400 is less than the width of the microlens layer ML, so that the light penetrating the color conversion layer 400 can all be collected toward the positive viewing angle through the microlens layer ML.

The inclination angle θ3 can fall within the range of 30 to 60 degrees. Through the above configuration, the light field of the chip package 1 can be optimized, the optical coupling efficiency of the secondary optical design can be increased, the number of secondary optical elements can be reduced, and the volume of the optical system can be miniaturized.
