Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional LED packaging designs with four white walls surrounding an encapsulation limit light emitting efficiency and restrict the overall size of the packaging structure, hindering its application in miniaturized end products.

Innovation Solution

The proposed light emitting device and light source module feature a base with a first substrate and through holes, a conductive unit with separate conductors passing through the substrate, and a package with a first and second package body having different optical properties, allowing for improved light emitting efficiency and miniaturization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a conventional packaging design with four white walls surrounding an encapsulation is used, then the structural integrity is maintained, but light emitting efficiency is limited and overall size is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emitting efficiencyVSAvoidpackaging structure size
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging structure is divided into multiple separate package bodies (first package body, second package body, third package body) instead of a single monolithic structure. Each package body can be independently optimized for different functions, allowing light to pass through selected bodies while blocking others, thereby improving light emitting efficiency without increasing overall size

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a conventional two-dimensional planar packaging structure to a three-dimensional stacked configuration with multiple package bodies arranged in layers. This vertical stacking allows light to travel through specific transparent package bodies while blocking others, effectively utilizing the third dimension to improve light emitting efficiency without expanding the footprint area

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

2Volume of stationary object

If the packaging structure size is reduced for miniaturization, then application in miniaturized end products is enabled, but light emitting efficiency may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackaging structure sizeVSAvoidlight emitting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of stationary objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a nested configuration where multiple package bodies are stacked vertically in a compact arrangement. The first, second, and third package bodies are positioned in sequence, with each body containing specific functional elements. This nesting allows the structure to maintain a small overall footprint while incorporating multiple light-manipulating layers that improve light emitting efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

Different package bodies are assigned different optical properties (transparent vs. opaque) based on their specific functional requirements. The transparent package bodies allow light to pass through to improve light emitting efficiency, while opaque bodies block light where needed. This localized optimization of optical properties enables efficient light management within a compact structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
