A light emitting device package design featuring a body with recesses between frames, spacers, and a conductive layer, which includes protrusions and recesses to enhance light extraction, electrical properties, and thermal buffering, and uses resins to secure the bonding portions and prevent re-melting during re-bonding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If high power is applied to achieve high output, then light output increases, but thermal deformation and defects occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight outputVSAvoiddefects due to thermal deformation
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a body with recesses positioned between the light emitting device and the electrode to absorb and cushion thermal deformation before it reaches critical components. This cushioning structure prevents defects by accommodating expansion and contraction during thermal cycling, thereby maintaining reliability under high power operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

2Stability of the object's composition

If the body structure is made rigid to maintain structural stability, then structural stability improves, but thermal deformation causes defects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoiddefects due to thermal deformation
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a body with recesses that creates a flexible or compliant structure rather than a completely rigid one. This flexible design allows the body to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction without generating excessive stress that would lead to defects, while still maintaining overall structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Ease of manufacture

If the package structure is simplified to reduce manufacturing complexity, then ease of manufacture improves, but light extraction efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing complexityVSAvoidlight extraction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the body into multiple portions with recesses at different locations and depths. This segmentation allows each recess to serve specific functions for light extraction while maintaining a relatively simple overall manufacturing process. The segmented structure improves light extraction efficiency without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
