Solution Overview

Problem

The existing LED packaging technologies face challenges in achieving thinness and integration due to the thickness of RGB LEDs, which limits their application and results in inconsistent light color and reduced display quality, primarily because of the packaging thickness determined by substrates, solder paste, and wire bonding, leading to difficulties in manufacturing and high costs.

Innovation Solution

The proposed LED packaging module includes LED chips with a wiring layer and an encapsulant component, where the LED chips are spaced apart, and the encapsulant fills gaps among the wiring parts, allowing for a thinner design without soldering or wire bonding, and a light-transmitting layer adjusts the light output ratio by controlling the height differences of the chip surfaces and using light-absorbing materials to reduce optical crosstalk.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If traditional substrate-based LED packaging with solder paste or wire bonding is used, then electrical connection and structural support are achieved, but packaging thickness increases beyond 500 μm

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackaging thicknessVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the traditional substrate from the LED packaging structure, eliminating the need for solder paste or wire bonding. The LED chip is directly mounted on the packaging board with electrodes contacting the packaging board surface, extracting the substrate function while reducing thickness to below 500 μm.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of mounting the LED chip face-up or face-down on a substrate with complex interconnections, the patent inverts the approach by having the chip electrodes directly contact the packaging board surface, simplifying the structure and reducing thickness.

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

2Manufacturing precision

If small-sized RGB LEDs are used to improve display resolution, then pixel density increases, but manufacturing precision requirements and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent eliminates the die bonding process entirely by removing the substrate, thereby eliminating the associated precision requirements and costs for die bonding while maintaining small-sized RGB LED benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Illumination intensity

If varying packaging surface treatment processes are applied, then different light output characteristics are achieved, but light color differences and mixing inconsistency increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different light-absorbing material layers to different regions of the packaging board beneath each LED chip, with each layer having specific optical properties tailored to that location to control light output and prevent color mixing while maintaining consistency.

Inventive Principle:
