Solution Overview

Problem

Current light emitting device packages face challenges such as void formation between the frame and conductive portions, leading to cracks due to thermal shock, difficulty in soldering small devices, and inefficient heat dissipation, which affects reliability and manufacturing yield.

Innovation Solution

A light emitting device package design featuring first and second frames spaced apart, with a body surrounding them and conductive portions disposed in openings to prevent voids and enhance bonding, improving coupling force and heat dissipation by guiding light and heat efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional packaging structure is used, then manufacturing process is simple, but voids form between frame and conductive portions causing cracks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding reliabilityVSAvoidpackage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The package structure is segmented into distinct functional regions: a body portion, a first frame extending from the body, and a second frame extending from the body. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently for its specific function while maintaining overall structural integrity and preventing void formation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a third dimension by extending frames vertically from the body in addition to horizontal spreading. This dimensional transition creates overlapping regions between frames and conductive portions, eliminating voids through multi-layer spatial arrangement rather than planar configuration.

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

2Productivity

If device size is reduced, then integration density increases, but soldering becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration densityVSAvoidsoldering ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Conductive portions are disposed on the frames before the light emitting device is mounted. This preliminary placement of conductive elements creates pre-formed bonding surfaces that facilitate subsequent soldering processes, even when the final device dimensions are small and integration density is high.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of energy

If conventional heat dissipation structure is used, then structure is simple, but heat dissipation efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidheat dissipation structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frames serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide structural support, establish electrical connections through conductive portions, and act as heat dissipation pathways. This multi-functionality improves heat dissipation efficiency without requiring separate dedicated heat sink components, thus avoiding excessive structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Reliability

If conductive portions are not disposed on bonding portions, then manufacturing is simpler, but voids and cracks occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding integrityVSAvoidmanufacturing yield
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Conductive portions act as intermediary elements positioned between the frames and the light emitting device bonding portions. These intermediaries ensure complete contact and eliminate voids by filling potential gaps, while their strategic placement on bonding portions only requires minimal additional manufacturing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
