Patent ID: 8319429

Claim:
A light emitting diode (LED) module comprising: a circuit board comprising a plurality of driving signal wirings and at least one ground wiring; and at least one LED package disposed on the circuit board and electrically connected to the driving signal wirings, each the at least one LED package comprising: at least one LED chip; a plurality of signal leads electrically connected to each of the at least one LED chip; and at least one ground lead electrically insulated from the signal leads and electrically connected to the at least one ground wiring; an encapsulation member encapsulating each the at least one LED chip, a partial area of the signal leads, and a partial area of the at least one ground lead, wherein the partial area of each of the signal leads not encapsulated by the encapsulation member comprises a first extending part extending downwards from a side wall of the encapsulation member and a second extending part connected with the first extending part, the second extending part extends laterally and the second extending part is electrically connected with the driving signal wirings, and the partial area of each of the at least one ground lead not encapsulated by the encapsulation member comprises a third extending part extending downwards from the side wall of the encapsulation member and a fourth extending part connected with the third extending part, the fourth extending part extends laterally, the fourth extending part is electrically connected with at least one of the at least one ground wiring, and the third extending part of the at least one ground lead is higher in vertical height than the first extending part of the signal leads.
