Solution Overview

Problem

Current LED packages lack efficient designs for multiple light emitting regions with varying colors and light distribution, leading to non-uniform light emission and potential interference between LED chips.

Innovation Solution

The LED package incorporates multiple LED chips of different colors, each mounted on distinct electrode portions with unique openings and phosphor configurations, allowing for parallel arrangement and varying cross-sectional areas to enhance light emission uniformity and suppress interference, with heat dissipating pads for efficient thermal management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple LED chips are mounted in a single package, then light emission efficiency is improved, but light distribution uniformity deteriorates due to interference between chips

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission efficiencyVSAvoidlight distribution uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The package is divided into multiple independent light emitting regions, each containing a separate LED chip and phosphor combination. These regions are spatially separated and isolated by structural elements within the package, allowing each region to emit light independently without interference from adjacent chips, thus maintaining uniform light distribution while achieving high overall emission efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different LED chips with specific wavelengths and phosphors with specific color temperatures are selectively placed in different light emitting regions. Each region is customized with appropriate LED-chip-phosphor combinations to achieve desired color temperatures (e.g., 1800K-20000K range), creating local quality variations that optimize light emission characteristics for each region while maintaining overall uniformity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If LED chips of different colors are used, then color versatility is improved, but light emission uniformity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor versatilityVSAvoidlight emission uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Different colored LED chips (blue, green, red) are placed in specific light emitting regions and paired with corresponding phosphors to achieve desired color temperatures. Each region is independently optimized for its color characteristics, allowing the package to provide versatile color output while maintaining uniform emission within each color region through proper spatial arrangement and phosphor selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Area of stationary object

If multiple LED chips are mounted closely together, then device size is reduced, but heat dissipation efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidheat dissipation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The package structure divides the mounting area into multiple independent light emitting regions with thermal isolation between them. Each region has its own heat dissipation path through the substrate and packaging materials, allowing compact arrangement of multiple LED chips while maintaining efficient heat dissipation for each chip individually, preventing thermal interference between closely spaced chips

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
