Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the light emitting diode system into separate color components (red, green, blue LEDs) mounted on a common substrate. Each LED chip maintains a small luminous area for high current density and efficiency, while the collective package provides a larger effective mounting area. This segmentation allows each LED to operate optimally while simplifying overall mounting and replacement procedures.

Solution Approach 1:

The invention combines multiple small-sized LED chips (red, green, and blue) onto a single substrate to form an integrated light emitting diode package. This merging approach maintains the small luminous area of individual chips for high current density and luminous efficacy, while the integrated package provides a larger effective size that simplifies mounting and replacement operations. The package structure allows handling at the package level rather than individual chip level.
