Patent ID: 8173454

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a light emitting diode package, comprising: manufacturing a metal body comprising a cavity for receiving a light emitting diode therein, a lens mount for mounting thereon a lens through which light is transmitted, a heat sink for dissipating heat, a lead insertion recess formed on a bottom surface of the metal body so that a lead is inserted therein, and a bonding hole formed to communicate with the lead insertion recess and passing through the cavity of the metal body, and manufacturing a lead frame comprising a lead seated into the lead insertion recess of the metal body and insulation bonded to the bottom surface of the metal body by means of an insulating binder; insulation bonding the lead of the lead frame to the lead insertion recess of the metal body by means of the insulating binder, thus mounting the metal body to the lead frame; and electroplating the lead frame and the metal body which are insulation bonded to each other.
