Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LED chip packaging methods are time-consuming, prone to dark band formation, and inefficient in heat dissipation, leading to suboptimal light emission and potential overheating of LED chips due to limited substrate thickness.

Innovation Solution

An LED chip package structure with continuous light-generating areas is achieved by arranging LED chips on a substrate with adhesive or hot pressing, using cambered package colloids and frame layers to prevent dark bands and enhance heat dissipation, allowing for efficient light emission and vertical application.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If LED chips are packaged separately and arranged on substrate via SMT process, then electrical connection is achieved, but the packaging process is time-consuming and dark bands are produced between fluorescent colloids

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackaging process simplicityVSAvoidmanufacturing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the LED chip mounting and fluorescent colloid packaging into a single integrated structure. The fluorescent colloid is designed to simultaneously package multiple LED chips and fill the spaces between them, eliminating the need for separate SMT packaging steps and preventing dark band formation between individually packaged colloids.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the fluorescent colloid into multiple regions that correspond to different LED chip positions. By dividing the colloid into distinct packaging zones with appropriate triggering areas, the patent achieves both efficient light emission from each LED chip and continuous light output without dark bands, while simplifying the manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If longitudinal package colloid is used to cover LED chips, then dark bands are prevented, but the triggered area is not uniform causing uneven light emission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission uniformityVSAvoidlight emission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different triggered area ratios to different regions of the fluorescent colloid. Specifically, the colloid closer to the LED chips has a larger triggered area ratio to ensure strong light emission, while regions farther away have adjusted triggered areas to maintain uniformity. This local variation in colloid properties ensures both continuous light output without dark bands and uniform overall light emission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Length of moving object

If base length is shortened to fit thin light-guiding board, then application to thin casings is enabled, but heat dissipation effect is insufficient causing LED chip damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebase lengthVSAvoidheat dissipation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from one-dimensional heat dissipation (along the base length) to two-dimensional heat dissipation by incorporating a heat dissipation structure with extended surfaces in the vertical dimension. The heat dissipation structure includes a base portion and extended heat dissipation fins that increase the heat dissipation surface area without increasing the base length, enabling effective heat dissipation in thin casing applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
