Patent ID: 8921132

Claim:
A method for manufacturing LED (light emitting diode) packages, comprising: providing a substrate comprising an insulating layer inlayed with a plurality of pairs of first electrode and second electrode, each pair of first electrode and second electrode defining a chip fastening area, a thickness of the first electrode and the second electrode being substantially the same as the thickness of the insulating layer, the insulating layer and the first electrode and the second electrode constituting a flat bottom surface and a top surface, the chip fastening area being concave from the top surface to the flat bottom surface of the first electrode and the second electrode; fastening LED chips on the chip fastening areas of the substrate and electrically connecting the LED chips with corresponding first electrodes and second electrodes respectively; providing a buffer layer comprising a plurality of shelters covering the chip fastening areas and a plurality of grooves exposing other portions of the substrate; forming a reflecting layer in the grooves of the buffer layer by injecting liquid material into the grooves; removing the buffer layer and a plurality of through holes being defined in the reflecting layer, each through hole being located over a corresponding chip fastening area; forming a plurality of encapsulants in the through holes to cover the LED chips; and cutting the substrate to obtain completed LED packages each comprising a corresponding pair of first and second electrodes, a corresponding LED chip and a corresponding reflecting cup which is a part of the reflecting layer, the reflecting cup surrounding the corresponding LED chip.
