US 20030067264 A1Abstract
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0017] Light-emitting diodes and methods for their production that are preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail while referring to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-section describing the light-emitting diode that is the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, with (a) showing the state when assembly is completed and (b) showing this state before assembly. FIG. 2 is a Fig. showing the structure of the lens member used in the light-emitting diode that is the first preferred embodiment. (a) is a bottom view and (b) is a cross-section along line A-A in (a). [0018] Light-emitting diode 10, which is the first preferred embodiment, has light-emitting diode chip 50, base 30 that holds this chip, and lens member 20 set up on base 30. base 30 comprises cup part 31 with a concave structure, and light-emitting diode chip 50 is held and mounted inside this cup. Base 30 is worked into a pre-determined shape by grinding a ceramic material or molding a plastic, etc. Wirings 41 and 42 are formed on the surface of base 30 by conventional methods. One end of both wirings 41 and 42 extends to inside cup part 31 and chip connecting parts 45 and 46 for electrical connection to light-emitting diode chip 50 are made in this cup part. For instance, base 30 can be made by working a glass-epoxide base into a cup shape and forming wiring on this base using copper foil. Moreover in a different case, it is possible to mold plastic or ceramic into a cup shape to make base 30 and form the electrical wiring on the surface of this base by an MID (Molded Interconnect Device) means. [0019] Furthermore, by means of another embodiment that is not illustrated, base 30 can also be formed with the majority of this base as a metal block. In this case, an insulating layer for electrically insulating the metal block and the wiring is made where needed by coating with resin, affixing insulating film, mechanical assembly with insulation parts, etc., in order to produce the electrical wiring for actuating light-emitting diode chip 50. That is, wiring can be formed on these insulation layers. When the majority of base 30 is made from metal, the heat that is generated when light-emitting diode chip 50 is actuated can efficiently escape to other devices or other parts on which the light-emitting diode is mounted and stability of operation of the light-emitting diode can be guaranteed. [0020] Wirings 41 and 42 extend from chip connection parts 45 and 46 along the inner surface of cup part 31 on which light-emitting diode chip 50 is mounted and further extend through the side surface to bottom face 32 of base 30. Mounting parts 43 and 44 for mounting the light-emitting diode on another circuit base (not illustrated) are placed on base face 32. That is, light-emitting diode chip 50 mounted inside cup part 31 is connected to another circuit base by wirings 41 and 42. Furthermore, light-emitting diode chip 50 can be mounted inside cup part 31 by a method such as by wirebonding, or “flip-chip” or “flop-chip” mounting, etc. [0021] As illustrated, lens member 20 is placed on base 30. Lens member 20 has outer convex part 24 and inner convex part 25. The curvature of surface (outer convex surface) 22 of outer convex part 24 and surface (inner convex surface) 23 of inner convex part 25 is designed so that the necessary convergence of light is obtained at the light-emitting diode. Outer convex part 24 is formed to a larger diameter than inner convex part 25 and shoulder 21 is thereby demarcated along the outer periphery. As shown in the Fig., when lens member 20 is attached to base 30, surface 23 of the inner convex part 25 is placed adjacent to light-emitting diode chip 50. [0022] Fluorescent material 60 is coated onto surface 23 of the inner convex part 25 of lens member 20. Consequently, when light-emitting diode chip 50 is actuated, the light that has been emitted is reflected up at cup part 31 and at least some of this light is converted in wavelength as outgoing light by fluorescent material 60. Resin material or chip coating material 70 is filled inside the space made by surface 23 and cup part 31. Resin material 70 has the effect of adhering and anchoring lens member 20 and eliminating the air layer and preventing deterioration of light-emitting diode chip 50. A transparent material that absorbs little of the emitted light is selected for resin material 70. When necessary, a diffusing substance that diffuses light from the light-emitting diode chip is mixed with resin material 70. Moreover, luminous efficacy from the chip can be increased by using a material with a high index of refraction as fluorescent material 70, and a structure wherein no stress is applied to the mounted chip or the wires for bonding connection can be produced by selecting a material having sufficient elasticity when it hardens, etc. [0023] Next, the method of producing light-emitting diode 10 will be explained while describing the shape of lens member 20. A base view of lens member 20 is shown in FIG. 2(b) and the cross-section of the position along the A-A line in (b) is shown in FIG. 2(a). [0024] This general shape of lens member 20 is as previously described and overall it is the shape of a mushroom. It is usually made from a transparent resin, but it can also be formed from another material such as glass, etc. Inclined face 28 is provided between shoulder 21 and surface 23. Part of inner convex part 25 near inclined face 28 is a circular truncated cone shape that is almost complementary to concave cup shape 31, and surface 23 comprises a dome-shaped part so that it overlaps this circular truncated cone. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, lens member 20 has a pair of grooves 26 in opposing positions. Grooves 26 extend from the position of surface 23 of inner convex part 25 to the position of shoulder 21 and reach up to the position of surface 22 of outer convex part 24. [0025] As described above, fluorescent material 60 for color conversion is positioned at surface 23 of les member 20. According to the present embodiment, a ceramic material such as YAG:Ce, etc., or other organic fluorescent materials can be used as the fluorescent material for white emission by using the light-emitting diode. [0026] As shown in FIG. 1(b), light-emitting diode chip 50 is mounted inside base 30 before assembling lens member 20 on base 30. As shown in FIG. 1(b), light-emitting diode chip 50 is mounted at the base of cup part 31 and resin material 70 is introduced from above this chip. Resin material 70 has sufficient fluidity. The surface of the resin material before setting up lens member 20 is represented by reference 71. Resin material 70 is introduced at a relatively large volume and the excess portion is removed during the process of setting up lens member 21. This will be discussed below. [0027] The setting up of lens member 20 will be explained as the transition from FIG. 1(b) to (a). That is, when lens member 20 is combined with base 30 onto which resin material 70 has been introduced, inner convex part 25 makes its way into cup part 31. As is clear from FIG. 1(a), lens member 20 is placed at a position where shoulder 21 almost touches top face 33 of base 30 (or wiring 41 formed on top of this top face), or at a position where inclined face 27 almost touches the inner surface of cup part 31. However, inner convex part 25 projects by a sufficient amount from the position of shoulder 21 and therefore, surface 23 onto which fluorescent material 60 has been applied first comes into contact with resin material 70 during the course of setting up lens member 20. [0028] When lens member 20 further pushes down toward base 30 from this position, surface 23 pushes and deforms resin material 70. Resin material 70 has sufficient fluidity and therefore when lens member 20 pushes up, resin material 70 flows into groove 26 formed in lens member 20. As previously mentioned, groove 26 reaches up to the side end position of surface 22 along the side rim of lens member 20 and therefore, resin material 70 that has been pushed out by movement of lens member 20 can be moved toward the outside through groove 26. It should be notable that, in this case, surface 23 of lens member 20 gradually approaches resin material 70 from its central position. On the other hand, while groove 26 is provided at the side end of lens member 20. Therefore, air that was present inside cup part 31 before lens member 20 was set up can be released to the outside through groove 26 together with excess resin material. As a result, resin material 70 adheres closely to layer 60 of fluorescent material that has been applied to surface 23 of lens member 20 (referred to surface 72 of resin material 70 represented by the broken line with reference 72 in FIG. 1(a) and (b)), so that it is possible to eliminate the clearance where air makes its way into the space demarcated by the layer of fluorescent material 60 and cup part 31. Consequently, it is possible to obtain good sealing properties. [0029] The first advantage of this structure is that the position of the fluorescent material can be precisely determined and the amount can also be controlled and as a result, it is possible to reliably control the optical properties of the light-emitting diode and guarantee good optical properties of the light-emitting diode. For instance, white emission is obtained by applying to the bottom of the lens a fluorescent material that emits yellow to the light of the light-emitting diode chip when the light-emitting diode chip is a blue-emitting diode, but in the past, the fluorescent material has been placed in a variety of positions, such as over the entire inside of the cup, all or part of the molding resin, inside the chip coating layer, the outer layer of the molding resin, etc. with this type of light-emitting diode. According to the present invention, as much fluorescent material 60 as needed can be placed in the desired shape at the bottom of lens member 20 and fluorescent material can also be precisely placed at the appropriate position close to the chip. Thus, the light directly from the chip and the light reflected by the cup can be uniform light with no color irregularities. This is particularly effective in the use of white emission for lighting, etc. Moreover, the difference between products is also small and a high product property standard can be guaranteed, even with mass production. [0030] A second advantage is that because the conventional sealing with molding resin is not necessary with the method for producing a light-emitting diode of the present invention, time-consuming processes that use high-temperature ovens are not necessary and the production process can be simplified. That is, it is possible to simplify the production process and to present a product of improved balanced performance, which is very effective for the mass production of light-emitting diodes. Moreover, it is possible to simultaneously produce a large number of products by the production method of the present invention where a large base in which many cup parts have been formed and lenses that have been molded into a plate shape are combined and then divided into units. In particular, it should be noted that even when many products are to be produced, the lens is precisely positioned with respect to the base and high-performance products can be guaranteed. [0031] [0031]FIG. 3 shows the light-emitting diode that is the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. Cross sections similar to FIGS. 1(a) and (b) are shown in (a) and (b), respectively. Each element forming the basic structure of the present invention in light-emitting diode 110 of the second embodiment is the same as light-emitting diode 10 of the first embodiment and therefore, they are shown by adding 100 to the reference numerals and therefore, a description of their effect and result is omitted. [0032] The difference between light-emitting diode 110 of the present embodiment and light-emitting diode 10 of the first embodiment is the structure of base 131 and the use of leads 191 and 192. This difference is due to the fact that light-emitting diode 10 of the first embodiment is surface mounted to another device that is not illustrated and light-emitting diode 110 of the second embodiment is mounted using througholes in a circuit board, etc. [0033] Light-emitting diode 110 has base 130 for holding light-emitting diode chip 150 and lens member 20 that is set up on the base 130. Production of base 130, mounting of light-emitting diode chip 150 on base 130, application of fluorescent material 160 to lens member 120, and setting up of lens member 120 on base 130 are performed in the same order as in the first embodiment. By means of the second embodiment, lens member 120 is set up on base 130 so that it pushes resin material 170 and an assembly of a light-emitting diode having good sealing performance is thereby produced. [0034] Leads 191 and 192 can be set up after the process of assembly of base 130 and lens member 120, or during the process where base 130 is produced, but the former procedure is more preferable when total production process is considered. This is because by means of the former method, for instance, many light-emitting diodes can be assembled at once as previously mentioned, and because operating tests can be performed before attaching leads 191 and 192 to base 130 after light-emitting diode chip 150 has been mounted onto base 130. [0035] The light-emitting diodes that are the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but they are simply examples. The present invention is not restricted to these examples and various changes and modifications by persons of skilled in the art are possible.
