Patent ID: 8704264

Claim:
A light emitting diode package structure, comprising: a housing having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the housing including a recess on the first side thereof, the recess including a bottom and a sidewall; a leadframe having a first electrode and a second electrode that are accommodated in the housing, wherein: the first electrode includes a first end of the first electrode disposed on the first side of the housing, a second end of the first electrode disposed on the second side of the housing, and a middle part of the first electrode connecting the first end of the first electrode to the second end of the first electrode, the second electrode includes a first end of the second electrode disposed on the first side of the housing, a second end of the second electrode disposed on the second side of the housing, and a middle part of the second electrode connecting the first end of the second electrode to the second end of the second electrode, the first end of the first electrode and the first end of the second electrode are flat and coplanar, the first end of the first electrode and the first end of the second electrode are separated from each other by a spacer which is a part of the housing, the bottom of the recess has a cover layer covering the leadframe that includes an opening that exposes a surface of the first end of the first electrode, a surface of the first end of the second electrode, and a surface of the spacer, and the exposed surface of the first end of the first electrode, the exposed surface of the first end of the second electrode, and the surface of the exposed portion of the spacer are coplanar; a light emitting diode chip configured in the recess, wherein the light emitting diode chip is electrically connected to the leadframe through the opening in the cover layer; and a light-transmissive encapsulant filling the recess.
