Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional light emitting device packages with a two-dimensional structure lack effective control over vertical light emission distribution, leading to degraded light extraction efficiency.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a reflective structure around the light emitting device with a side surface angle of inclination between 45° to 90°, formed from insulating materials like oxide films, to control and enhance vertical light emission distribution, combined with a lens and electrode configuration that includes a dielectric reflective structure with varying refractive indices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a two-dimensional package structure with no cavity is used, then the device structure is simple, but the vertical light emission distribution cannot be controlled and light extraction efficiency is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage structureVSAvoidlight extraction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a three-dimensional cavity structure within the package body to control vertical light emission distribution. This dimensional change from a flat two-dimensional structure to a three-dimensional structure with cavities enables effective manipulation of light extraction efficiency and emission characteristics without significantly increasing overall device complexity

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

2Loss of energy

If a reflective structure with side surface angle of 45° to 90° is added, then vertical light emission distribution is controlled and light extraction efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight extraction efficiencyVSAvoidpackage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The reflective structure is applied locally at specific positions within the package cavity rather than throughout the entire structure. By positioning reflective surfaces with specific angles (45° to 90°) only where needed to control vertical light emission, the patent achieves improved light extraction efficiency while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Manufacturing precision

If a lens and dielectric reflective structure with varying refractive indices are incorporated, then light emission control is enhanced, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs composite structures combining lens elements with dielectric reflective layers that have varying refractive indices. This composite approach enables enhanced control over light emission characteristics by integrating multiple functional materials with complementary optical properties, achieving superior light control while managing manufacturing complexity through material integration
