Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional optical packaging structures with LEDs suffer from inadequate light emission angles and large size, resulting in poor light output effects.

Innovation Solution

The optical packaging structure incorporates a light-emitting chip, a packaging layer, a fluorescent layer, a lens structure with a curved surface, and a reflecting layer, which cooperatively refract and reflect light to increase the emission angle and reduce size, enhancing the optical effect and packaging density.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If conventional CSP or NCSP package structure is used, then the package structure can be compact, but the light emission angle is insufficient and light output effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight output effectVSAvoidlight emission angle
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the optical packaging into distinct functional layers: a light-emitting chip layer, a fluorescent layer, a lens structure, and a reflecting layer. Each layer performs a specific optical function, allowing independent optimization of light emission angle and intensity without compromising overall package compactness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a vertically stacked multi-layer configuration instead of planar arrangement. By utilizing the vertical dimension with the lens structure positioned above the fluorescent layer and the reflecting layer at the bottom, the design achieves wide light emission angles while maintaining a compact footprint area.

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

2Device complexity

If conventional optical packaging structure is used, then the structure is simple, but the size of the package structure is large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage structure simplicityVSAvoidpackage structure size
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a nested vertical stacking arrangement where the light-emitting chip is positioned above the reflecting layer, the fluorescent layer surrounds the chip, and the lens structure sits atop the fluorescent layer. This nested configuration maximizes space utilization and achieves compact packaging while maintaining structural simplicity through straightforward vertical assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Ease of manufacture

If conventional packaging structure is used, then manufacturing is simple, but light emission efficiency is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidlight emission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple optical functions into an integrated vertical stack: the reflecting layer redirects downward light upward, the fluorescent layer converts light wavelengths, and the lens structure focuses and directs the emitted light. This merged multi-functional design improves light emission efficiency while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through a single integrated package structure that can be assembled in one process sequence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
