Patent ID: 8546160

Claim:
A method for packaging LEDs (light emitting diodes), comprising steps of: forming a substrate with a rectangular frame, a plurality of first electrode strips and a plurality of second electrode strips, the plurality of first and second electrode strips being located within the frame and alternately arranged along a width direction of the frame, the plurality of first and second electrode strips being parallel to and apart from each other, two neighboring first and second electrode strips forming as a pair first and second electrode strips, the first and second electrode strips each extending along a length direction of the frame and having two distal ends connected to the frame; forming a carrier layer on each pair of the first and second electrode strips, the first electrode strip of each pair comprising a plurality of first electrodes along the length direction of the frame, the second electrode strip of each pair comprising a plurality of second electrodes along the length direction of the frame and corresponding to the first electrodes in a one to one relationship, the carrier layer defining a plurality of recesses, a corresponding first electrode and a corresponding second electrode being exposed through one recess, the corresponding first and second electrodes being embedded in the carrier layer at lateral sides of said one recess; arranging at least one LED die in said one recess and electrically connecting the at least one LED die to the corresponding first and second electrodes; forming an encapsulation in said one recess to cover the at least one LED die; cutting the first and second electrode strips along the width direction of the frame to obtain a plurality of LED packages each comprising one of the first electrodes, one of the second electrode, the at least one LED die, the encapsulation and a part of the carrier layer.
