Patent ID: 8013355

Claim:
A light emitting diode (LED) package for mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB), the LED package comprising: an LED chip; a lead frame comprising: a main part carrying the LED chip; a first electrode pin extending from the main part and coupled to the PCB; a second electrode pin spaced from the main part and coupled to the PCB, wherein the LED chip is coupled to the first electrode pin and the second electrode pin; and an L-shaped heat dissipation board comprising: an upper portion coupled to the main part and extending in a direction perpendicular to an upper surface of the PCB; and a bottom portion coupled to the upper portion, the bottom portion having a plate shape which extends in a direction parallel to the upper surface of the PCB and which directly contacts the upper surface of the PCB; and an encompassing component enclosing the LED chip, the main part, a portion of the first electrode pin and a portion of the second electrode pin of the lead frame, and exposing the heat dissipation board of the lead frame.
