Abstract:
1. A light emitting diode including a non-conductive casing and a conductive frame, the casing defining an accommodation recess to expose the frame such that two ends of the frame are exposed out of the casing; the frame comprising a placement area to receive a light emitting chip and an electrode area separated from the placement area, wherein the placement area has a top surface for receiving the light emitting chip, a bottom surface spaced apart from the top surface so as to define a first thickness and a pair of protruding portions outwardly extending from the placement area, respectfully, the protruding portions having a second thickness, wherein the first thickness is substantially greater than the second thickness such that a step portion is formed adjacent the protruding portions, the step portion being located and configured to facilitate the engagement of the placement area with the casing wherein the light emitting chip is electrically connected to the electrode area with a conductor, and wherein a packaging polymer is provided in the accommodation recess.
