Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LED package structures, such as those using wire-bonding and flip-chip methods, face issues like shadowed light projection due to wire placement, increased manufacturing costs, reduced efficiency, and light refraction, which affect light-emitting efficiency.

Innovation Solution

An LED package structure featuring a substrate with through holes for fluorescence colloids, where LEDs are wire-bonded and covered with opaque units to eliminate shadowing, and light is condensed using opaque blocks and lead angle portions, while antistatic units prevent static damage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If wire-bonding method is used to connect LED electrodes to substrate, then manufacturing cost is reduced and process is simplified, but shadow lines are projected on LED affecting light-emitting efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing cost and process simplicityVSAvoidlight-emitting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The harmful wires are extracted and relocated to the periphery of the substrate, away from the central light-emitting area. The wires are positioned along the edges where they do not intersect with the light path from the LED to the observer, thereby eliminating shadow lines while preserving the cost-effective wire-bonding process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The wire arrangement transitions from a planar configuration that intersects the light path to a three-dimensional peripheral arrangement. By positioning wires along the substrate edges and using vertical bonding angles, the wires are moved out of the two-dimensional light projection plane, eliminating shadows without changing the fundamental wire-bonding process.

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

2Illumination intensity

If flip-chip method is used to connect LED to substrate, then shadow lines are eliminated and light-emitting efficiency is maintained, but manufacturing cost increases and process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight-emitting efficiencyVSAvoidprocess complexity and manufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of inverting the LED chip as in flip-chip method, the substrate and wire arrangement are inverted. The wires are positioned peripherally and bonded at edge locations rather than centrally, achieving shadow elimination through spatial reconfiguration rather than chip orientation change.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Illumination intensity

If flip-chip method is used, then shadow lines are eliminated, but light loss occurs due to refraction under the LED

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight-emitting efficiencyVSAvoidlight loss due to refraction
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate is segmented into a light-emitting central area and a peripheral wire-bonding area. This segmentation allows the light path to remain clear and unobstructed in the central region, preventing refraction-related light loss while enabling wire connections at the periphery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
