Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional light-emitting device packages face issues with light emission efficiency, lifespan reduction due to adhesive degradation under deep ultraviolet light, and inadequate moisture sealing, especially in high-temperature and high-humidity environments.

Innovation Solution

A light-emitting device package design featuring a recessed portion around the cavity with a bonding member accommodated in concave portions to enhance bonding area and prevent moisture ingress, combined with a rubber ring for improved sealing between the light-transmitting member and package body.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If adhesive is introduced into the cavity to bond glass and package body, then bonding strength is improved, but light reflection function is deteriorated and adhesive discoloration occurs under deep ultraviolet light

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidlight emission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive is extracted from the cavity space and relocated to the recessed portion surrounding the cavity. This separation allows the adhesive to perform its bonding function without interfering with light reflection within the cavity or being exposed to deep ultraviolet light that causes discoloration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding structure is segmented into two distinct zones: the cavity space reserved for light reflection and the recessed portion for adhesive placement. This segmentation isolates the adhesive from harmful UV exposure while maintaining bonding functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If adhesive is used to prevent moisture entry, then sealing function is improved, but adhesive decomposition occurs under deep ultraviolet light causing bond failure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemoisture sealing functionVSAvoidpackage lifespan
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive is extracted from the UV-exposed cavity environment and placed in the recessed portion, protecting it from photodecomposition while maintaining its moisture sealing function at the package periphery where UV exposure is minimal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The recessed portion structure provides beforehand protection against UV-induced adhesive decomposition by physically shielding the adhesive from deep ultraviolet light before degradation can occur, thereby extending package lifespan.

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

3Strength

If bonding area is increased to improve bonding strength, then bonding reliability is improved, but adhesive exposure to UV light increases causing more discoloration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidadhesive discoloration
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The recessed portion provides a localized UV-shielded environment for the adhesive, allowing extensive bonding area to be achieved without proportional increase in UV exposure. The local geometry of the recessed portion creates a protective niche that maintains bonding reliability while minimizing harmful UV effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
