Patent ID: 7999278

Claim:
A light emitting diode package comprising: a substrate including a single homogenous material; a light emitting diode disposed on the substrate; a first metal layer disposed on a top surface of the substrate and under the light emitting diode; a second metal layer disposed on the top surface of the substrate, said second metal layer being separated from and not contacting the first metal layer; a third metal layer disposed on a bottom surface of the substrate and functioning as a cathode for the light emitting diode, said third metal layer being connected to one of the first and second metal layers; a fourth metal layer disposed on the bottom of the substrate and functioning as an anode for the light emitting diode, said fourth metal layer being connected to the other one of the first and second metal layers; and a fifth metal layer disposed on the bottom of the substrate, and functioning as a thermal pad for dissipating heat from the light emitting diode, said fifth metal layer being connected to the light emitting diode via a through-hole formed in the substrate.
