Abstract:
1. A light emitting diode (LED) package comprising: a main body mounted on a board, the main body having an opening; a light emitting diode (LED) that is mounted in the main body and emits light; and a lead frame exposed to allow the main body to be selectively top-mounted or side-mounted, wherein the lead frame extends along at least three sides of the main body that intersect with each other, wherein portions of the lead frame that extend along the at least three sides of the main body define an area that includes the LED, wherein the lead frame is bent to be dented inwardly toward an inside of the main body to have an inwardly dented portion for receiving the LED therein, and a rear surface of the inwardly dented portion of the lead frame is exposed outside from a rear surface of the main body, and the inwardly dented portion and the LED received therein are exposed outside from a front surface of the main body through the opening, and wherein the lead frame comprises a top electrode electrically connected with the board to allow the LED to be mounted to be parallel to a front surface of the board; a bent portion integrally formed with the top electrode and bent toward a different side from the top electrode; and a side electrode formed at an end portion of the bent portion and electrically connected to the board to allow the LED to be mounted to be perpendicular to the board.
