Patent ID: 7808097

Claim:
A light emitting diode module having two or more LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) tape layers; each tape layer comprising 40 to 70 weight percent glass frit; 30 to 60 weight percent refractory ceramic filler; 0 to 10 weight percent of one or more inorganic pigments; dispersed in organic medium, wherein said refractory ceramic filler and said inorganic pigment have a refractive index in the range of 1.5 to 3.5 and said refractory ceramic filler has a flexural strength of at least 150 MPa; having one or more cavities in said tape layers; having at least two electrical vias and at least one thermal via in said tape layers; having at least one functioning light emitting diode chip; wherein said LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) tape layers provide a desired circuit pattern and said circuit pattern is electrically connected through said electrical vias, thus, forming a functioning chip carrier and wherein at least one functioning light emitting diode chip is mounted to said chip carrier and wherein at least one thermal via is connected to a heat sink and wherein said thermal via dissipates heat released from said functioning light emitting diode chip through its connection to said heat sink; wherein at least three functioning light emitting diode chips are mounted to said chip carrier and wherein the color of said functioning light emitting diode chips is selected from white, red, green, and blue.
