Description

Leuchtkörper mit LED-DIEs und deren Herstellung Luminaire with LED DIEs and their manufacture
Die Erfindung betrifft Leuchtkörper aus einem transparenten Kunststoffformteil mit Vertiefungen, in denen sich elektronische Komponenten, insbesondere LED-DIEs befinden, sowie deren Herstellung.The invention relates to luminous bodies made of a transparent plastic molded part with recesses in which electronic components, in particular LED-DIEs are located, as well as their production.
Alternative Konzepte zu herkömmlichen Beleuchtungsquellen und -modulen, wie z.B. Glühbirnen oder Energiesparlampen, sind im Hinblick auf Nachhaltigkeit und Energieeffizienz gefragt.Alternative concepts to conventional lighting sources and modules, e.g. Light bulbs or energy-saving lamps are in demand for sustainability and energy efficiency.
Glühbirnen sind aufgrund ihres schlechten Wirkungsgrades hinsichtlich Lichtemission und hoher Wärmeentwicklung sowie der geringen Lebensdauer von Nachteil. In Australien sollen in den nächsten Jahren Glühbirnen per Gesetz ganz vom Markt genommen und durch andere Konzepte ersetzt werden.Light bulbs are disadvantageous because of their poor efficiency with regard to light emission and high heat development as well as the short lifetime. In Australia, over the next few years, light bulbs will be removed from the market by law and replaced by other concepts.
Energiesparlampen sind deutlich energieeffizienter, jedoch stellen sie aufgrund von Schwermetallanteilen, insbesondere Quecksilber, eine Umweltbelastung dar und müssen als Sondermüll entsorgt werden.Energy-saving lamps are significantly more energy-efficient, but they represent an environmental impact due to heavy metal components, especially mercury, and must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Eine alternative Beleuchtungsquelle, die diese Nachteile nicht aufweist und zudem eine hohe Lebensdauer und hohe Energieeffizienz aufweist, sind LEDs.An alternative source of illumination, which does not have these disadvantages and also has a long life and high energy efficiency, are LEDs.
LEDs finden als Beleuchtungsquellen vermehrt Anwendung, z.B. in der Automobilindustrie, Luft- fahrt, Innenraumbeleuchtung, Fassadengestaltung, etc.LEDs are increasingly used as lighting sources, e.g. in the automotive industry, aviation, interior lighting, façade design, etc.
Derzeit wird versucht, die LEDs als 1 : 1 -Alternative zu den herkömmlichen Beleuchtungsquellen zu etablieren. Dadurch wird die LED-Entwicklung in die Richtung von mehr Leistung und größerer Helligkeit forciert. Diese hohen Leistungsanforderungen und die dabei entstehende punktuelle Wärmeentwicklung stellen für die verwendeten Materialien eine große Herausforderung dar. Die Lichtemission von LED-DIEs liegt generell im Bereich 15 - 20 %, was den Einsatz von Linsensystemen erforderlich macht. Dies geschieht derzeit über Primäroptiken, die als Bauteile direkt in die LED integriert werden oder Sekundäroptiken, die als Linsen oder Linsensysteme nachträglich mit der LED kombiniert werden.Currently, it is trying to establish the LEDs as a 1: 1 alternative to the conventional lighting sources. This drives LED development toward more power and brightness. These high performance requirements and the resulting selective heat generation pose a great challenge to the materials used. The light emission of LED DIEs is generally in the range of 15-20%, which necessitates the use of lens systems. At present, this is done using primary optics, which are integrated directly into the LED as components or secondary optics, which are subsequently combined with the LED as lenses or lens systems.
Die LEDs werden auf Leiterplatten appliziert. Die Wärme wird über integrierte oder nachträglich angebrachte Systeme abgeführt. Die LED-bestückte Leiterplatte kann in der Regel durch ein Kunststoffgehäuse vor Feuchtigkeit und Verschmutzung geschützt sein. Das Kunststoffgehäuse ist im Austrittsbereich der LED-Strahlung transparent und gegebenenfalls als Linsenkörper ausgebil- det. In der Mikroelektronik werden Auflageelemente wie Leiterplatten oder elektrisch leitfahige Folien mit Halbleiter-Chips (sogenannten „DIEs") bestücktThe LEDs are applied to printed circuit boards. The heat is dissipated via integrated or retrofitted systems. The LED-equipped circuit board can usually be protected by a plastic housing from moisture and contamination. The plastic housing is transparent in the exit region of the LED radiation and optionally formed as a lens body. In microelectronics, support elements such as printed circuit boards or electrically conductive films are equipped with semiconductor chips (so-called "DIEs")

Diese Aufgabe konnte durch die erfindungsgemaßen Leuchtkorper gelost werdenThis task could be solved by the invention Leuchtkorper
Das erfϊndungsgemaße Verfahren stellt eine neue Möglichkeit dar, LED-Lichtelemente wirtschaft- hcher und effizienter in Bauelemente zu integrieren und damit geringe Bauraumtiefen zu realisierenThe erfϊndungsgemaße method represents a new way to integrate LED lighting elements more economical and efficient in components and thus to realize small installation depths
Gegenstand der Erfindung sind Leuchtkorper aus einem transparenten Kunststoffformteil (1 ) mit LED-DIEs (2), die dadurch gekennzeichnet sind, dass sich im Formteil Vertiefungen (5) befinden, in denen jeweils ein LED-DIE oder eine transparente LED-Einheit so angeordnet ist, dass eine Seite des LED-DIEs oder der transparenten LED-Einheit annähernd bundig an die Oberseite des Kunststoffformteiles anschließt, und die LED-DIEs über elektrische Leiter (3), die sich auf dem Formteil befinden, mit einer Stromversorgung verbunden sindThe invention relates to luminous bodies made of a transparent plastic molded part (1) with LED DIEs (2), which are characterized in that depressions (5) are located in the molded part, in each of which an LED DIE or a transparent LED unit arranged in that one side of the LED DIE or the transparent LED unit connects approximately flush to the top of the plastic molded part, and the LED DIEs are connected to a power supply via electrical conductors (3) located on the molded part
Der Vorteil des erfindungsgemaßen Leuchtkorpers ist seine - falls gewünscht - geringe Bauraumtiefe, was für flächige Applikationen vorteilhaft ist Außerdem hat man einen hohen Freiheitsgrad in der Formgebung, unter anderem durch das bevorzugte Spritzgießverfahren, mit dem das Kunststoffformteil hergestellt wird Das Einsetzen der elektronischen Komponente (LED-DIE) in die Vertiefung des Formteiles hat verschiedene Vorteile. So lässt sich die elektronische Komponente (LED-DIE) präzise auf das Kunststoffformteil positionieren. Weiter führt die vertiefte Anordnung des LED-DIE zu einem Niveauausgleich zwischen Formteiloberseite und Oberseite bzw. freier Oberfläche des LED-DIE.The advantage of the Leuchtkorpers invention is its - if desired - low space depth, which is advantageous for areal applications In addition, one has a high degree of freedom in shaping, including through the preferred injection molding process, with which the plastic molded part is produced The insertion of the electronic component (LED-DIE) in the recess of the molding has several advantages. This allows the electronic component (LED-DIE) to be precisely positioned on the plastic molded part. Furthermore, the recessed arrangement of the LED-DIE leads to a leveling between the upper part of the molded part and the upper side or free surface of the LED DIE.
Die Vertiefung kann derart ausgestaltet sein, dass die Oberseite des LED-DIE annähernd bündig an die Formteiloberseite anschließt. Diese Anordnung hat den Vorteil, dass die Herstellung eines elektrischen Kontakts des LED-DIE mit weiteren LED-DIEs und/oder elektrischen Leitern (3) auf vorteilhafte Art und Weise erfolgen kann. Die Vertiefungen des Kunststoffformteiles werden vorzugsweise durch Spritzgussverfahren geschaffen und weisen einen Boden und den Boden mit der Formteiloberseite verbindenden Seitenwand auf. Bei den zu realisierenden Abmessungen kommen spanabhebende Verfahren an Ihre Leistungsgrenzen. Das Spritzgussverfahren ermöglicht die reproduzierbare und wirtschaftliche Fertigung von Kunststoffformteilen, die für die Herstellung großer Serien vorgesehen sind.The recess may be configured such that the upper side of the LED DIE connects approximately flush with the upper part of the molding. This arrangement has the advantage that the production of an electrical contact of the LED DIE with other LED DIEs and / or electrical conductors (3) can be carried out in an advantageous manner. The recesses of the plastic molded part are preferably created by injection molding and have a bottom and the bottom with the upper side of the molding part connecting side wall. With the dimensions to be realized, machining processes reach their performance limits. The injection molding process enables the reproducible and economical production of plastic moldings intended for the production of large series.
Das Kunststoffformteil besteht vorzugsweise aus transparentem Kunststoff, wie beispielsweise Polycarbonat (PC), Polystyrol (PS) und Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA), Polysulfon, hochtempe- raturstabiles PC (Apec0* von Bayer MaterialScience AG), Cycloolefincopolymer (COC) (Topas0* von Ticona). Die Lichttransmission sollte für transparentes, farbloses Material bei mindestens 80 %, vorzugsweise bei mindestens 85 %, besonders bevorzugt bei mindestens 89 % liegen (gemessen nach ISO 13468-2 bei 1 mm Probenkörperdicke). Der Kunststoff sollte sehr gute Fließeigen- schaften, Wärmebeständigkeit und gute Resistenz gegen LED-Strahlung, mechanische Stabilität sowie einen hohen Brechungsindex aufweisen. Das Verfahren eröffnet Lösungsmöglichkeiten für Anwendungen, in denen Licht auf verschiedene Art und Weise aus dem Kunststoffformteil emittiert wird.The plastic molded part is preferably made of transparent plastic, such as polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polysulfone, highly temperature-stable PC (Apec 0 * from Bayer MaterialScience AG), cycloolefin copolymer (COC) (Topas 0 * of Ticona). The light transmission should be for transparent, colorless material at least 80%, preferably at least 85%, particularly preferably at least 89% (measured according to ISO 13468-2 at 1 mm specimen thickness). The plastic should have very good flow properties, heat resistance and good resistance to LED radiation, mechanical stability and a high refractive index. The method opens up possibilities for solutions in which light is emitted in different ways from the plastic molded part.
Vorzugsweise werden die LED-DIEs so in die Vertiefungen gesteckt, dass das emittierende Licht durch den Boden der Vertiefung strahlt. Dies hat auch den Vorteil, dass die LED-DIEs einfach an elektrische Leiterbahnen, die sich auf der offenen Seite der Vertiefungen auf der Formteiloberseite befinden, kontaktiert werden können.Preferably, the LED DIEs are plugged into the recesses so that the emitting light radiates through the bottom of the recess. This also has the advantage that the LED DIEs can be easily contacted to electrical conductors which are located on the open side of the recesses on the upper part of the molding.
Das Kunststoffformteil kann auf der Seite der offenen Vertiefungen vorzugsweise mit einer Kunststoffschutzfolie, bevorzugt Polycarbonatfolie, bedeckt sein. Diese Folie kann vorteilhafterweise zusätzlich eine Reflexionsschicht aufweisen.The plastic molding may preferably be covered on the side of the open recesses with a protective plastic film, preferably polycarbonate film. This film may advantageously additionally have a reflection layer.
Im Falle, dass die LED-DIEs so in die Vertiefungen gesteckt werden, dass das Licht auf der offenen Seite der Vertiefung strahlt, werden die beiden Pole der LED-DIEs durch Punktöffnungen (die beispielsweise durch Laser im Boden der Vertiefungen erzeugt werden können) im Boden der Ver- tiefungen durchkontaktiert. Die Leiterbahnen befinden sich hierbei auf der der offenen Seite der Vertiefung gegenüberliegenden Seite des Kunststoffformteiles. Vorzugsweise kann das Kunststoffformteil auf der offenen Seite der Vertiefungen mit einer transparenten Kunststoffschutzfolie, bevorzugt aus Polycarbonat, zum Schutz der LED-DIEs bedeckt sein.In the case that the LED DIEs are plugged into the recesses so that the light shines on the open side of the recess, the two poles of the LED DIEs are pierced by dot openings (which can be made, for example, by lasers in the bottom of the recesses) Bottom of the deepened through holes. The conductor tracks are here on the opposite side of the plastic molding to the open side of the recess. Preferably, the plastic molded part on the open side of the recesses may be covered with a transparent plastic protective film, preferably made of polycarbonate, for the protection of the LED DIEs.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine zusätzliche Reflexionsschicht, die auf das Kunststoffformteil aufgebracht wird, bevor die LED-DIEs eingesetzt werden.Particularly advantageous is an additional reflective layer which is applied to the plastic molded part before the LED DIEs are used.
Die LED-DIEs können auch so in die Vertiefungen gesteckt werden, dass das Licht durch den Boden der Vertiefung strahlt. Die beiden Pole der LED-DIEs werden dann bevorzugt auf der offenen Seite der Vertiefungen mit den Leiterbahnen kontaktiert.The LED DIEs can also be plugged into the recesses so that the light shines through the bottom of the recess. The two poles of the LED DIEs are then preferably contacted on the open side of the recesses with the conductor tracks.
Im Fall, dass keine „Flip-Chip-LEDs" (Pole liegen auf einer Seite) eingesetzt werden, werden vorzugsweise jeweils ein Pol auf der offenen Seite der Vertiefung und jeweils ein Pol auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite (durch den Boden der Vertiefung) mit den Leiterbahnen kontaktiert.In the event that no "flip-chip LEDs" (poles are on one side) are used, preferably one pole on the open side of the recess and one pole on the opposite side (through the bottom of the recess) with the Tracks contacted.
Die Leiterbahnen, die der elektrischen Verbindung der LED-DIEs mit einer Stromquelle dienen, können konventionell aus Kupfer- oder Silber- oder Golddrähten bestehen. Bevorzugt werden je- doch leitfähige Polymere, die vorzugsweise transparent sind, eingesetzt. Leitfähige Polymere sind bevorzugt gewählt aus der Reihe: Polypyrol, Polyanüin, Polythiophen, Polyphenylenvinylen, Po- lyparaphenylen, Polyethylendioxythiophen, Polyfluoren, Polyacetylen, besonders bevorzugt Polye- thylendioxythiophen in Kombination mit Polystyrol-sulfonsäure (z.B. BaytronΛ>P von H. C. Starck).The traces used to electrically connect the LED DIEs to a power source may conventionally be copper or silver or gold wires. However, preference is given to using conductive polymers, which are preferably transparent. Conductive polymers are preferably selected from the series: polypyrrole, Polyanüin, polythiophene, polyphenylene, polyvinyl lyparaphenylen, polyethylenedioxythiophene, polyfluorene, polyacetylene, particularly preferably in combination with polyethylene dioxythiophene polystyrene sulfonic acid (Baytron example, Λ> P from HC Starck).
Es können auch leitfähige Tinten auf Nanopartikelbasis (z.B. Nanosilber, Nanogold) eingesetzt werden. Durch die Verwendung von mit Metallpartikeln im Nanometerbereich gefüllten Tinten lassen sich z.B. mit Hilfe der Ink-Jet-Technologie schmale, elektrisch leitfähige Bahnen mit praktisch beliebigen Geometrien auf Kunststoff drucken. Besonders wünschenswert ist hierbei, dass die Linienbreite solcher Leiterbahnen etwa 20μm erreicht beziehungsweise auch unterschreitet. Ab dieser Grenze sind Strukturen für das menschliche Auge in der Regel nicht mehr zu erkennen und ein störender optischer Effekt durch Leiterbahnen entfällt.Also, nano-particulate conductive inks (e.g., nano-silver, nano-gold) can be used. By using inks filled with metal particles in the nanometer range, e.g. Using ink-jet technology, print thin, electrically conductive webs with virtually any geometry on plastic. It is particularly desirable in this case that the line width of such interconnects reaches or falls below about 20 μm. From this limit, structures for the human eye are generally no longer recognizable and a disturbing optical effect due to interconnects is eliminated.
Darüber hinaus können auch CNT-haltige Tinten (CNT-Carbon nanotubes, z.B. Baytubes00 von Bayer MaterialScience AG) für die Leiterbahnen eingesetzt werden.In addition, CNT-containing inks (CNT carbon nanotubes, eg Baytubes 00 from Bayer MaterialScience AG) can also be used for the printed conductors.
Der Einsatz von Indiumzinnoxid als leitfähiges Material ist ebenfalls möglich.The use of indium tin oxide as a conductive material is also possible.
Eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen LED-DIE und Leiterbahn kann beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines „Wire Bonding"-Verfahrens hergestellt werden. Das Kunststoffformteil kann eine Vielzahl von Vertiefungen („Aufnahmewannen") in Form von MICRO-Kavitaten aufweisenAn electrical connection between LED DIE and conductor track can be produced, for example, by means of a "wire bonding" method. The plastic molding may have a plurality of wells ("receptacles") in the form of MICRO cavities
Die Seitenwande der Vertiefungen können gerade, konkav oder konvex ausgebildet sein Seiten- wande mit geradem Verlauf haben den Vorteil, dass sie für eine hochpra/ise Aufnahme der LED- DlCs besonders geeignet sindThe side walls of the depressions may be straight, concave or convex. Straight-wall sidewalls have the advantage that they are particularly suitable for high-level recording of the LED DICs
Die Seitenwande können senkrecht zum Boden bzw zur Formteiloberseite verlaufenThe side walls can be perpendicular to the floor or to the upper part of the molding
Alternativ können die Seitenwande in einem Neigungswinkel in Bezug auf die Formteiloberseite abgeschrägt sein, welcher zwischen 1° und 89° hegtAlternatively, the side walls may be chamfered at an angle of inclination with respect to the molding top, which is between 1 ° and 89 °
Besonders vorteilhaft kann es sein, wenn die Seitenwande der Vertiefungen sich gegen den Boden verjungen und jeweils einen Neigungswinkel von 5° bis 85°, bevorzugt von 20° bis 70° und besonders bevorzugt etwa 45° definierenIt can be particularly advantageous if the side walls of the depressions are tapered towards the bottom and each define an angle of inclination of 5 ° to 85 °, preferably of 20 ° to 70 ° and particularly preferably about 45 °
Die Vertiefungen können je nach Ausgestaltung der LED-DlEs in der Draufsicht eine rechteckige, kreisförmige oder polygonale Kontur aufweisenDepending on the design of the LED DlEs, the depressions can have a rectangular, circular or polygonal contour in plan view
Die Vertiefung (Aufnahmewanne) kann im Querschnitt eine stufenartige Konfiguration aufweisen, die wenigstens einen zum Boden bzw zur Formteiloberseite parallelen Stufenbodenabschnitt bildetThe depression (receptacle) can have a step-like configuration in cross-section, which forms at least one step bottom section parallel to the bottom or to the upper part of the molding part
Die LED-DIE kann durch eine Vergussmasse in der Vertiefung fixiert sein Die Vergussmasse kann aus Harz, beispielsweise Epoxyharz, 2K-Polyurethan-Gießharz (Baygai00, Baymidur00 von Bayer MateπalScience AG) bestehen Dieser Kleber kann vorzugsweise transparent sein Der KIe- ber kann bei Bedarf auch phosphoreszierende Pigmente (sogenannte Phosphore) enthaltenThe LED DIE can be fixed in the depression by a potting compound. The potting compound can consist of resin, for example epoxy resin, 2K polyurethane casting resin (Baygai 00 , Baymidur 00 from Bayer MateπalScience AG). This adhesive can preferably be transparent If necessary, phosphorescent pigments (so-called phosphors) included
