Patent ID: 7897991

Claim:
A light emitting diode comprising: a base; a first electrically and thermally conductive member extending through the base; a second electrically and thermally conductive member extending through the base; and a light emitting diode chip being mounted on the base, the light emitting diode chip comprising an upper surface for emitting light, a bottom surface, a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the first and second sidewalls interconnecting the upper surface and bottom surface, a first heat dissipating layer being located on the first sidewall, a second heat dissipating layer being located on the second sidewall, the first heat dissipating layer connecting with the first conductive member for transferring heat of the light emitting diode chip from the first sidewall of the light emitting diode chip to the base, the second heat dissipating layer connecting with the second conductive member for transferring heat of the light emitting diode chip from the second sidewall of the light emitting diode chip to the base.
