Patent ID: 7311420

Claim:
An opto-electronic package, comprising: a substrate having a base and a plurality of cavity-defining walls, the base and the plurality of cavity-defining walls defining an elongate cavity having a major axis and an aperture, the base having a surface that presents within the cavity, the surface of the base that presents within the cavity having a plurality of mounting pads and a plurality of transverse walls that are interspersed along the major axis of the cavity, wherein the mounting pads are separated by the transverse walls, and wherein the transverse walls have lower heights than the cavity-defining walls; a plurality of conductive metal traces extending from the surface that presents within the cavity of the base portion, along one of the plurality of cavity-defining walls, and to a plurality of connector pads disposed on an exterior portion of the substrate so as to provide electrical connection of each of the plurality of LED dice mounted adjacent to one of the plurality of conductive traces to each of the plurality of connector pads, respectively; and a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) dice mounted to the mounting pads of the substrate so as to project light within the cavity.
