Abstract:
1. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) package for a backlight unit, comprising: a plurality of LEDs; a plurality of silicon substrates each of which has first and second electrode terminals formed on a top thereof, wherein each of the LEDs is mounted on the first and second electrode terminals; a die bonding part on which the plurality of silicon substrates is arranged, and which allows the first electrode of at least one silicon substrate to be electrically connected to an external circuit; a wire bonding part which is spaced from the die bonding part and which allows the second electrode of at least one silicon substrate to be electrically connected to the external circuit so that the LEDs are operated; and a body having a molding cup which is used to fill a space above the LEDs with transparent resin and a base on which the die bonding part and the wire bonding part are arranged wherein the plurality of LED is arranged in series in such a way that the opposite polar electrode terminals of the silicon substrates are connected to each other by wire, one of the first electrodes terminals are connected to the die bonding part, and one of the second electrodes terminals are connected to the wire bonding part.
