FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a light emitting device package according to the first embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 1, the light emitting device package 100 includes a cavity 115, a receiving part 117, a first lead electrode 121, a second lead electrode 123, a body 110, an isolation member 112, a light emitting device 125, a molding member 130 and a lens member 140.
The body 110 includes a transmittive material, such as a resin material including silicon or epoxy, or a glass material. The body 110 may have a cylindrical shape or a polygonal shape. The outer appearance of the body 110 may be changed depending on the injection molding process and/or the etching process for body 110. According to the embodiment, the body 110 has a substantially rectangular shape having the cavity 115 with an open top surface.
The body 110 may include an insulating material having the light transmittance of about 80% or more.
The first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 are disposed in the cavity 115 of the body 110 while being electrically insulated from each other.
A first section of the first lead electrode 121 extends to the bottom surface of the cavity 115 by passing through a first region of the body 110, and a first section of the second lead electrode 123 extends to the bottom surface of the cavity 115 by passing through a second region of the body 110. The first region may be located in opposition to the second region in the cavity 115, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.
Second sections of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 may extend out of the body 110. According to the embodiment, at least one second section of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 may branch out of the body 110. For instance, second sections of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 may branch out of the body 110 while being electrically connected to each other.
The first sections of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 are disposed in the body 110, and the second sections of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 are disposed out of the body 110.
The first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 can be formed by selectively using a lead frame, a metal plating layer and a through-hole structure. For the purpose of convenience of explanation, the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 formed by using the lead frame will be described below. The first sections of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 may pass through the body 110 and the other ends of the first sections of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 may be subject to the trimming process and/or forming process. The trimming and forming processes may be changeable.
At least one part of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 may be exposed to the lower surface of the body 110 or may be disposed on the same plane with the lower surface of the body 110.
One ends of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 may be disposed in the cavity 115 of the body 110, and an inner wall of the cavity 115 may be perpendicular or inclined to the bottom surface of the cavity 115. The light emitting device 125 can be disposed in the cavity 115. The light emitting device 125 can be mounted on at least one lead electrode 121 or 123 and electrically connected to the first and second leas electrodes 121 and 123.
The first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 may be separated from each other by the isolation member 112. The isolation member 112 may include a material different from a material of the body 110. For instance, the isolation member 112 may include a material having light transmittance lower or higher than that of the material of the body 110. In detail, the isolation member 112 may include a material having the light transmittance of about 50% or above. The isolation member 112 may includes an insulating material.
For example, the isolation member 112 may include polymer-based resin, such as PPA (polyphthal amide), LCP (liquid crystal polymer), PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) or PEEK (polyether ether ketone).
The isolation member 112 is disposed between the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 while insulating the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 from each other.
At least one part of the isolation member 112 can extend or can be inserted into the first lead electrode 121 and/or the second lead electrode 123 to support the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123.
An area of a top surface of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 is about 80% or above with respect to an area of a lower surface of the body 110. In this case, light reflection can be improved by the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 disposed in the body 110.
The top surfaces of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 may have light reflectance of about 50% or above.
A width of the first lead electrode 121, the second lead electrode 123 and the isolation member 122 is larger than a width of the body 110 to prevent light from being leaked downward from the body 110. Thus, the light loss can be reduced.
The first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 supply power to the light emitting device 125. The first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 dissipate heat generated from the light emitting device 125 and reflect the light emitted from the light emitting device 125.
At least one light emitting device 125 is disposed in the cavity 115. If plurality of LED chips are mounted, the pattern of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 may be changed.
The light emitting device 125 can be connected to the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 through a wire bonding scheme using at least one wire 127 or through a die bonding scheme.
The light emitting device 125 may include a visible-band LED chip, such as a blue LED chip, a green LED chip, and a red LED chip, or a UV LED chip. According to the embodiment, the light emitting device 125 includes the blue LED chip.
The receiving part 117 is formed on the body 110. The cavity 115 is disposed under the center of the receiving part 117 formed on the body 110. That is, the receiving part 117 is located above the cavity 115. A width of the receiving part 117 may be wider than a width of the upper portion of the cavity 115.
The receiving part 117 may be defined by a protrusion 118 protruding from an outer portion of the body 110. The protrusion 118 protrudes from the outer peripheral portion of the body 110 beyond the top surface of the body 110 to form the receiving part 117.
The space formed in the cavity 115 and/or the receiving part 117 is defined by the body 110 and/or at least one lead electrode 121 or 123. Such a space may be variously modified within the technical scope of the embodiment.
The molding member 130 is formed in the cavity 115. The molding member 130 may include a transmittive resin material such as silicon or epoxy. At least one type of phosphor and/or diffusing agents can be added to the molding member 130, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The phosphor may include a yellow luminescence material, a green luminescence material, a red luminescence material or a blue luminescence material. The type of the LED chips and the phosphor formed in the cavity 115 may be changed according to the target light of the package, and the embodiment is not limited thereto.
The molding member 130 may have a flat top surface. According to another embodiment, the molding member 130 may have a concave top surface or a convex top surface. A concavo-convex light extraction pattern can be formed on the top surface of the molding member 130.
When viewed from the top, the cavity 115 of the body 110 may have a circular shape or a polygonal shape. A part of the light emitted from the light emitting device 125 can be reflected from the inner wall of the cavity 115 or may transmit through the inner wall of the cavity 115. When viewed from the top, the receiving part 117 of the body 110 may have a circular shape or a polygonal shape, which can be changed depending on the external appearance of the body 110.
The lens member 140 may have a convex lens shape or a hemispherical lens shape. At least a part of the lens member 140 may have a flat shape.
The lens member 140 is disposed on the receiving part 117 and makes contact with an inner surface of the protrusion 118.
Since the lens member 140 makes contact with the inner surface of the receiving part 117 while being supported by the protrusion 118, the lens member 140 can be prevented from being separated from the body 110. In addition, the protrusion 118 of the body 110 may be exposed out of the lens member 140.
The lens member 140 is formed on the molding member 130 and the body 110 such that the light generated from the light emitting device 125 can be emitted to the outside. The lens member 140 may adjust the beam angle of the light.
The lens member 140 can be formed on the receiving part 117 by selectively using a resin material, such as silicon or epoxy, a polymer resin material, and a glass material. In addition, at least a part of the lens member 140 may include a luminescence material or a color conversion material.
The lens member 140 can be molded on the receiving part 117 by using a resin material or can be attached to the receiving part 117 by separately manufacturing the lens member 140. One of the cavity 115 and the receiving part 117 may be omitted and the position of the light emitting device 125 can be changed.
The lens member 140 may be spaced apart from the light emitting device 125 and a part of the lens member 140 can be disposed in the cavity 115, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.
In addition, another transmittive resin layer or another transmittive phosphor layer can be disposed between the molding member 130 and the lens member 140, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.
The light generated from the light emitting device 125 disposed in the cavity 115 can be omni-directionally emitted. Most of the light transferring toward the lens member 140 through the top surface of the molding member 130 may be emitted in the upward direction, and the light transferring toward the body 110 may be emitted in the lateral direction through the body 110.
In addition, the light reflected from the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 is transferred toward the lens 140 through the body 110.
Therefore, the light emitting device package 100 may have the light distribution over the extension line of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 and the beam angle of the light is in the range of 160° to 180°.
Accordingly, the light emitting device package 100 can widen the beam angle of the light due to the transmittive body 110 and can improve the color variation in the light distribution region.
FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device package according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals will be assigned to the same elements and description about the elements and structures that have already been explained in the first embodiment will be omitted in order to avoid redundancy.
Referring to FIG. 2, the light emitting device package 100A includes a lens member 140A disposed on the transmittive body 110. The lens member 140A has a reflective type lens structure. According to the reflective type lens structure, the quantity of light extracted through the lateral side of the lens member 140A is greater than the quantity of light extracted through the center of the lens member 140A.
A recess 145 is formed at a predetermined portion of the lens member 140A. For instance, the recess 145 is formed at the center of the lens member 140A. The recess 145 is closer to the light emitting device 123 as compared with the outer peripheral region of the lens member 140A. The recess 145 may have a conical shape. Since the recess 145 is formed at the center of the lens member 140A, which overlaps with the light emitting device 125 in the longitudinal direction, the recess 145 can reflect the incident light in the lateral direction.
The top surface of the lens member 140A is disposed around the recess 145 and has a flat shape or a convex shape, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The lens member 140A may have a hemispherical external shape, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.
The recess 145 of the lens member 140A is located above the light emitting device 125. When viewed from the top, the recess 145 may have a circular shape or a polygonal shape. In addition, a width of the recess 145 may be gradually reduced toward the light emitting device 125.
The recess 145 is spaced apart from the molding member 130 and reflects the diffused light from among the lights emitted from the light emitting device 125.
An inner wall of a cavity 115A is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the cavity 115A in such a manner that the light emitted from the light emitting device 125 can be incident into the body 110. Since the cavity 115A has the inner wall perpendicular to the bottom surface of the cavity 115A, the light transmittance can be increased.
The light emitting device package 100A may increase the amount of the light transferring in the lateral direction, so the light emitting device package 100A can widen the beam angle of the light and can improve the color variation in the light distribution region.
FIG. 3 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device package according to the third embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 3, the light emitting device package 100A has the lens member 140A modified from the lens member 140A shown in FIG. 2. In detail, an outer portion S2 of the lens member 140A extends while surrounding the lateral side of the body 110 and a lower surface of the outer portion S2 of the lens member 140A makes contact with the top surface of the lead electrodes 121 and 123.
The lens member 140A may include a transmittive resin material. Since the lens member 140A surrounds the body 110, moisture can be prevented from penetrating into the body 110. The light emitting device package 100A can improve the beam angle of the light due to the transmittive body 110 and the lens member 140A. The lens member 140 can reflect the light emitted in the lateral direction of the body 110.
FIG. 4 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device package according to the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the same reference numerals will be assigned to the same elements and description about the elements and structures that have already been explained in the first embodiment will be omitted in order to avoid redundancy.
Referring to FIG. 4, the light emitting device package 100B includes a lens member 140B formed on a top surface thereof with a first pattern 142. In detail, a plurality of first patterns 142 are formed on the top surface of the lens member 140B, in which the first patterns 142 are concentrically aligned and the center thereof corresponds to the center of the lens member 140B.
The first patterns 142 can be formed over the entire surface of the lens member 140B. According to the another embodiment, the first patterns 142 can be formed on the center of the top surface of the lens member 140B, on the peripheral portion of the top surface of the lens member 140B, or between the center and the top surface of the lens member 140B.
The first patterns 142 may have at least one of circular shapes with different diameters about the center of the first patterns 142, oval shapes, aspherical shapes, and polygonal shapes. The first patterns 142 are aligned along the top surface of the lens member 140B. Each first lens pattern 142 may have a conical shape having a symmetrical or asymmetrical structure, or a prism shape.
The size of the first patterns 142 may be gradually reduced from the center to the outer portion of the top surface of the lens member 140B. In addition, the height of the first patterns 142 may be gradually lowered from the center to the outer portion of the top surface of the lens member 140B. The height of the first patterns 142 may correspond to a gap between the top surface of the body 110 and the top surface of the lens member 140B.
The first patterns 142 may be regularly, irregularly or randomly arranged. An interval among the first patterns 142 may be an interval among vertexes or roots of the first patterns 142.
The first patterns 142 of the lens member 140B may refract or diffuse the light when the light emitted from the light emitting device 125 is reflected from or transmitted through the first patterns 142. The light extracted through the lens member 140B may have uniform light distribution at the center and the side of the lens member 140B. In addition, the color variation rarely occurs between the center and the side of the lens member 140B. The color variation may be further improved by the first patterns 142 which are concentrically arranged.
FIG. 5 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device package according to the fifth embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 5, the light emitting device package 100B includes a transmittive body 110A having a cavity 115 and a lens member 140B surrounding the body 110A. An outer portion S4 of the lens member 140B is spaced outward from the lateral side of the body 110A, and a lower surface of the outer portion S4 makes contact with the top surface of the lead electrodes 121 and 123.
First patterns 142 having the concavo-convex structure are formed on the entire top surface of the lens member 140B. The first patterns 142 are concentrically arranged about the center of the lens member 140B.
The lens member 140B may refract or reflect the light when the light emitted from the light emitting device 125 is transmitted through the molding member 130 and the body 110A, so that the light extracted through the lens member 140B may have uniform light distribution at the center and the side of the lens member 140B. In addition, the color variation rarely occurs between the center and the side of the lens member 140B. The color variation may be further improved by the first patterns 142 which are concentrically arranged.
FIG. 6 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device package according to the sixth embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 6, the light emitting device package 100B includes a transmittive body 110A having a cavity 115 and a lens member 140B surrounding the body 110A. An outer portion S6 of the lens member 140B is spaced outward from the lateral side of the body 110A, and a lower surface of the outer portion S6 makes contact with the top surface of the lead electrodes 121 and 123.
The lens member 140B includes first patterns 142. The first patterns 142 are disposed in a first region of the lens member 140B and have the concavo-convex configuration concentrically arranged about the center of the lens member 140B. The first region corresponds to an opening region of the cavity 115 or the top surface of the body 110A.
A second region of the lens member 140B is the outer portion S6 of the lens member 140B except for the first region and corresponds to the lateral side of the body 110. A height T1 of the outer portion S6 of the lens member 140B is longer than a height of the lateral side of the body 110A.
The outer portion S6 of the lens member 140B is curved or perpendicular to the top surface of the lead electrodes 121 and 123. The lens member 140B is divided into the first region having the first patterns 142 and the second region having no first patterns 142, so that the light distribution can be improved at the side of the lens member 140B, rather than the center of the lens member 140B.
The lens member 140B may refract or reflect the light transmitted through the molding member 130 and the body 110A, so that the light extracted through the lens member 140B may have uniform color variation due to the first patterns 142. In addition, the beam angle of the light can be improved due to the second region having the first patterns 142.
FIG. 7 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device package according to the seventh embodiment.
In the seventh embodiment, the same reference numerals will be assigned to the same elements and description about the elements and structures that have already been explained in the first embodiment will be omitted in order to avoid redundancy.
Referring to FIG. 7, the light emitting device package 100C includes a body 110B having an upper body 101 and a lower body 102.
The upper body 101 and the lower body 102 of the body 110B may include the transmittive material. According to another embodiment, the lower body 102 of the body 110B may include a material having light transmittance lower than that of the upper body 101. For instance, the lower body 102 may include a polymer material. The lower body 102 is disposed under the lead electrodes 121 and 123 and the upper body 101 is disposed over the lead electrodes 121 and 123 and formed with the cavity 115.
The first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 are disposed on the bottom surface of the cavity 115 while passing through the body 110B.
An isolation member 112A is formed in the body 110B. The isolation member 112A is disposed between the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 and extends downward through the lower body 102. A lower surface of the isolation member 112A is disposed in line with a lower surface of the body 110A. The isolation member 112A can be formed after the lower body 102 of the body 110B has been formed or simultaneously with the body 110B. The isolation member 112A has reflectance higher than that of the upper body 101. Similar to the lower body 102, the isolation member 112A may include the polymer material.
The first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123 support the upper and lower bodies 101 and 102 and reflect the incident light.
According to the light emitting device package 100C, the light transferring through the transmittive upper body 101, the molding member 130 and the lens member 140 can be omni-directionally emitted, so that the color coordination deviation can be improved in the light distribution region.
FIG. 8 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device package according to the eighth embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 8, the light emitting device package 100C includes body 110B having upper and lower bodies 101 and 102, and a lens member 140 surrounding the upper body 101.
An outer portion S8 of the lens member 140 is spaced outward from the upper body 101. A lower surface of the outer portion S8 of the lens member 140 makes contact with the top surfaces of the first and second lead electrodes 121 and 123, so that moisture can be prevented from penetrating into the body 110B and the beam angle of the light can be improved.
A width of the upper body 101 of the body 110B may be different from a width of the lower body 102 of the body 110B. For instance, the width of the upper body 101 of the body 110B is longer than the width of the lower body 102 of the body 110B to support the lead electrodes 121 and 123.
Out end portions of the lead electrodes 121 and 123 may extend to the lower surface of the body 110B, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.
FIG. 9 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device package according to the ninth embodiment.
In the ninth embodiment, the same reference numerals will be assigned to the same elements and description about the elements and structures that have already been explained in the first embodiment will be omitted in order to avoid redundancy.

The first section of the second lead electrode 223 may be opposite to the second section of the second lead electrode 223.
The light emitting device 225 is disposed on the second lead electrode 223 and connected to the first and second lead electrodes 221 and 223 through a wire bonding scheme and/or a die bonding scheme.
The body 210 is provided on the first and second lead electrodes 221 and 223 and the receiving part 217 is formed in the body 210. The cavity 215 is formed at the center of the receiving part 217.
The body 210 is made from a transmittive material including at least one of selected from the group consisting of silicon or epoxy, and a glass material.
The lower body 201 is formed under the body 210 and the first and second lead electrodes 221 and 223. The lower body 201 may include a transmittive material. According to another embodiment, the lower body 201 may include a material different from a material of the body 210, such as polymer.
The light emitting device 225 is provided in the cavity 215 defined by the second electrode 223 and the molding member 230 is provided in the cavity 215.
