Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light emitting device packages face challenges in maximizing light extraction efficiency and maintaining color distribution due to the presence of adhesive layers, which can lead to a decrease in luminous flux.

Innovation Solution

A light emitting device package design that includes a package substrate with a semiconductor light emitting device, a wavelength conversion portion, and a reflective resin portion with a protrusion extending between the wavelength conversion portion and the substrate structure, where the adhesive layer is strategically positioned to minimize contact with the reflective resin, thereby preventing luminous flux loss and enhancing light extraction efficiency and color distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If an adhesive layer is used to attach the wavelength conversion portion to the semiconductor light emitting device, then the wavelength conversion portion can be securely mounted, but the adhesive layer causes luminous flux loss and reduces light extraction efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting reliabilityVSAvoidluminous flux
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the adhesive layer from the light extraction path by positioning it only on the side surfaces of the semiconductor light emitting device, not on the upper surface where light is emitted. This allows the wavelength conversion portion to be mounted securely while minimizing its interference with light extraction, thus resolving the contradiction between mounting reliability and luminous flux loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer is applied selectively to different locations: on the side surfaces for secure mounting, but avoided on the upper surface to prevent luminous flux loss. This localized application strategy allows the system to achieve reliable mounting while maintaining high light extraction efficiency in the critical light emission area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If the wavelength conversion portion covers the entire light emitting device, then complete wavelength conversion is achieved, but light extraction efficiency decreases due to increased adhesive layer interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewavelength conversion completenessVSAvoidluminous flux
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The wavelength conversion portion is segmented into different regions: a first region that contacts the semiconductor light emitting device through the adhesive layer for secure mounting, and a second region that extends outward without adhesive interference to maintain high light extraction efficiency. This segmentation allows complete wavelength conversion while minimizing luminous flux loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wavelength conversion portion extends in multiple dimensions: it covers the upper surface for wavelength conversion and extends outwardly in a radial direction to form a flared shape. This dimensional extension allows the second region to protrude beyond the light emitting device, reducing adhesive layer interference while maintaining complete wavelength conversion coverage.

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

3Loss of energy

If the wavelength conversion portion has a flared shape extending outwardly, then light extraction efficiency is improved, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous fluxVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wavelength conversion portion is designed with a flared, curved shape that extends outwardly from the semiconductor light emitting device in a radial direction. This curved, spheroidal geometry naturally guides and extracts light more effectively while maintaining a relatively simple monolithic structure, thus improving light extraction efficiency without significantly increasing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)
