Traditional LED package structures have limitations in color render index (CRI) and utilization rate of LED chips, including quick attenuation, high power consumption, high heat generation, short working life, fragility, and non-recyclability compared to LED lamps.

Innovation Solution

A light-mixing multichip package structure comprising a substrate unit, light-emitting unit, package unit, and frame unit, where the light-emitting unit includes series-connected first and second light-emitting groups with parallel-connected blue and red LED chips, and a phosphor resin body covers these groups within a surrounding light-reflecting frame to enhance CRI and utilization rate.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If traditional LED package structures are used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the color render index and utilization rate of LED chips are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor render indexVSAvoidpackage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The light-emitting unit is divided into multiple light-emitting groups (first light-emitting groups with blue LED chips and second light-emitting groups with red LED chips), each group containing multiple parallel connection units. This segmentation allows independent optimization of different wavelength components to improve color render index while maintaining manageable manufacturing complexity through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple light-emitting groups with different LED chip types (blue and red) into a single integrated light-emitting unit, which is then covered by a phosphor resin body. This merging of different wavelength sources with phosphor conversion creates a unified optical system that achieves high color render index without requiring separate lighting fixtures for different color temperatures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple LED chips are used to improve color render index, then the utilization rate of LED chips increases, but the electrical connection complexity and heat generation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveutilization rate of LED chipsVSAvoidheat generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The light-emitting groups are divided into series-connected units, where each unit contains parallel-connected LED chips. This segmentation distributes the total current across multiple series units, reducing the current burden on each individual chip group and thereby reducing heat generation per unit while maintaining high overall utilization rate through the combined output of all chips.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different light-emitting groups are assigned different functions: first light-emitting groups with blue LED chips provide specific wavelength components, while second light-emitting groups with red LED chips provide complementary wavelengths. This local functional differentiation optimizes the contribution of each chip group to the overall color rendering, maximizing utilization rate while distributing heat generation across specialized zones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Manufacturing precision

If series connection of light-emitting groups is used, then the utilization rate of LED chips improves, but the electrical connection complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveutilization rate of LED chipsVSAvoidelectrical connection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electrical connection system is segmented into modular light-emitting groups, where each group is a self-contained unit with internal parallel connections. The series connection between groups creates a hierarchical structure that simplifies the overall wiring scheme compared to fully individual connections, as entire groups can be treated as single electrical units during assembly while still achieving high utilization rates through the series configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
