Patent ID: 10008638

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an optical device for a back light unit, and an optical device and an optical device array manufactured by the method, in which optical device chips constituting the optical device array are each laid the sides thereof on a printed circuit board in such a manner that light can be emitted from the optical device chips in a lateral direction, thus reducing the overall thickness of the back light unit.Provided is a method of manufacturing an optical device for a back light unit, the method comprising: (a) preparing an original substrate having vertical insulating layers interposed therebetween; (b) partially cutting the original substrate to a predetermined depth from an upper surfaces thereof such that the cut portion is orthogonal at least to the vertical insulation layers, and exposing a region where a plating layer for soldering is to be formed; (c) performing plating; (d) mounting optical device chips on a plurality of chip substrate regions divided to include the vertical insulating layers; and (e) cutting each chip substrate region.
