Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light emitting device packages face challenges in uniformly arranging reflective layers, leading to limited luminance improvement and re-melting issues during re-bonding processes, which affect electrical characteristics and manufacturing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A light emitting device package design with a package body featuring a reflective resin layer and a transparent resin layer, where the reflective resin layer is uniformly spaced around the light emitting device to enhance light extraction efficiency and prevent re-melting by using materials like TiO2 and SiO2, and a structure with inclined surfaces to improve reflectance and prevent discoloration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a reflective layer is arranged in a cavity of a light emitting device package, then luminance is improved, but uniform arrangement is difficult to achieve

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveluminanceVSAvoiduniform arrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making the reflective layer's reflectivity position-dependent. The reflectivity increases as the distance from the light emitting element decreases, with the reflective layer comprising multiple layers (first, second, third reflective layers) with progressively higher reflectivity. This gradient structure ensures uniform light extraction efficiency across different regions of the package while maintaining improved luminance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Strength

If re-bonding process is performed to improve electrical characteristics, then bonding strength is improved, but re-melting phenomenon occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidelectrical characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by forming a protective layer on the bonding pad before the re-bonding process. This protective layer prevents oxidation and contamination of the bonding pad surface, ensuring that when re-bonding occurs, the electrical characteristics are maintained or improved without causing re-melting phenomena. The protective layer is removed only after the bonding process is complete.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If phosphor layer is disposed adjacent to light emitting device, then light conversion is efficient, but phosphor layer deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight conversion efficiencyVSAvoidphosphor layer durability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the extraction principle by separating the phosphor layer from the light emitting device. Instead of disposing the phosphor layer adjacent to the light emitting device, the patent positions the phosphor layer at a distance, allowing efficient light conversion while preventing deterioration from direct exposure to heat and electromagnetic radiation from the light emitting device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Stability of the object's composition

If transparent resin layer is used to prevent discoloration, then appearance quality is improved, but light extraction efficiency may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediscoloration resistanceVSAvoidlight extraction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining the transparent resin layer with a reflective layer having position-dependent reflectivity. The transparent resin layer prevents discoloration and maintains appearance quality, while the underlying reflective layer with varying reflectivity compensates for any light extraction reduction, ensuring overall luminance is improved or maintained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
