Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a light emitting diode package comprising: machining a plate made of a heat and electric conductor of a predetermined thickness into a frame structure, the frame structure comprising first and second lead frame parts each having a planar base and a pair of extensions extending in opposed directions from opposed ends of the base, respectively, the second lead frame part formed to have a smaller width than the first lead frame part and arranged apart therefrom by a predetermined interval; bending the pair of extensions of the first and second lead frame parts in such a manner that the bases are positioned lower than the pair of extensions, such that the pair of extensions extend in upward directions from the bases; injection-molding a resin to form a package body, the package body surrounding the pair of extensions of the first and second lead frame parts adjacent to the bases and thereby fixing the first and second lead frame parts in such a way that at least a part of upper surfaces and bottom surfaces of the bases of the first and second lead frame parts are exposed from the package body and distal ends of each of the pair of extensions of the first and second lead frame parts extend out of side portions of the package body; disposing a light emitting diode chip on the exposed upper surface of the base of the first lead frame part and electrically connecting the light emitting diode chip with the first and second lead frame parts; encapsulating the light emitting diode chip with a transparent encapsulant; and cutting the pair of extensions of the frame structure to obtain a light emitting diode package.
