In recent years, LED devices have been driven by the rapid development of semiconductor technology, so that they can escape from low-intensity general-purpose products and produce high-brightness and high-quality products. In addition, as the implementation of high-performance blue and white diodes becomes a reality, the application value of LEDs is being extended to displays, next-generation lighting sources, and the like. As an example, LED devices in the form of surface mounting devices have been commercialized.

In particular, the structure of such an LED package has a great influence on the angular distribution of luminance and luminance.

However, the light emitted from the LED chip 60 is emitted to all the top, bottom, left and right sides of the LED chip 60, as shown in FIG.

However, since the light emitted from the upper surface of the light emitted from the LED chip 60 is emitted relatively without loss, the light emitted from the lower surface is absorbed into the LED chip 60 and is extinguished. There is a problem in that the luminous intensity emitted after mounting in the package is lower than the luminous intensity emitted. In particular, referring to Figure 2 it can be seen that the loss of blue light of the light emitted from the LED chip is large.

That is, the surface mounted light emitting diode device according to the prior art has a problem that the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip is inferior.

Example

Hereinafter, the structure of the surface mounted LED device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a structure of a surface mounted light emitting diode device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a ray tracing result of FIG. 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, the surface mounted light emitting diode device according to the present invention has a package 20 made of a molding epoxy resin or the like having a cavity formed in the center thereof, and a predetermined surface of the package 20 is formed of light. An open radiation window is formed so as to be easily radiated, and a lead frame 50 including a pair of lead terminals protrudes from the other surface to be mounted on the printed circuit board 10. In this embodiment, the lead frame 50 is composed of a pair of lead terminals as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and lead terminals may be formed of two or more pairs.

In particular, the cavity formed in the center of the package 20 according to the present invention comprises a cylindrical first space portion 22 in contact with the radiation window and a conical second space portion 21 positioned below it.

More specifically, the inner wall of the first space portion 22 is formed as an inclined surface having a predetermined inclination angle such that the spherical surface adjacent to the radiation window is larger than the spherical surface in contact with the second space portion 21, the first space The inner wall of the portion 22 is preferably coated with a reflecting member (not shown) having a high reflectance.

On the other hand, the present invention, as shown in Figure 3 in order to reflect the light absorbed and scattered in the package 20 of the light emitted from the LED chip 60 through the reflective member in the direction of the radiation window again, The inner sidewall structure of the first space 22 may not be limited to a sidewall formed of an inclined surface, and may have sidewalls of various shapes such as a sidewall perpendicular to the outer bottom surface of the package and an elliptical sidewall. This is preferably adjusted according to the characteristics and process characteristics of the LED device and its conditions.

In addition, the inner wall of the second space portion 21 is coated with the reflective member 90 to form a conical bottom reflective structure. At this time, the reflecting member 90 is made of a material having a high reflectance, and a material having a high reflectance includes Ag, Al, Ni, W, Cu, Pd, and Rh.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the reflective member 90 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the reflective member 90 may be omitted when the reflective member 90 may serve as a reflection in the package 20.

The second space portion 21 coated with the inner wall of the reflective member 90 is flatly filled with the transparent resin 80. In this case, the transparent resin 80 may be made of a material such as transparent epoxy, silicone, modified silicone, urethane resin, oxetane resin, acrylic, polycarbonate and polyimide.

On the transparent resin 80 of the package 20 configured as described above, the LED chip 60 is mounted vertically toward the emission window. The LED chip 60 is preferably made of a device for generating any one of blue, red, green, UV wavelength.

Therefore, the surface-mounted LED device according to the present invention emits light emitted from the LED chip 60 through the reflecting member 90 to the rear side and absorbs and scatters into the LED chip 60 to be extinguished. By reflecting back to the radiation window direction, it is possible to increase the light extraction efficiency than the surface-mounted LED device according to the prior art. This can be accurately understood with reference to Table 1 below. Also, FIG. 4 shows a ray tracing result of the surface mounted light emitting diode device according to the present invention, and a ray tracing result of the surface mounted light emitting diode device according to the related art. Comparing Figure 3 can be seen more accurately.

In addition, the surface mounted light emitting diode device according to the present invention is reflected by the reflective member 90 coated on the inner wall of the conical second space portion 21, that is, the lower reflective structure formed under the LED chip 60. Since it is uniformly incident on the phosphor of the molding material to be described later to surround the LED chip 60, it is possible to minimize the difference in the color coordinates according to the viewing angle.

In particular, according to the present invention, the second space portion 21 constituting the lower reflective structure is formed in a conical shape rather than a hemispherical shape, so that similar light extraction efficiency can be obtained compared to the hemispherical shape, and the color coordinate difference can be reduced by about three times or more. It works.

This will be described in more detail through Table 1 below.

Referring to Table 1, it can be seen that the light extraction efficiency (%) is 29.7% without the lower reflection structure, while the light extraction efficiency (%) is higher with 35.5% when the lower reflection structure is present. Can be maintained at about the same level.

In addition, even if there is a lower reflecting structure, when the lower reflecting structure is a hemispherical shape and a conical shape according to the present invention, the light extraction efficiency (%) is almost the same as 36.3 (%) and 35.5 (%), but Δx of the color difference. It can be seen that Δy decreases from 0.048 to 0.019 by 0.03 to 0.024 by about three times.

In particular, the conical bottom reflective structure is omitted in comparison with the hemispherical bottom reflective structure, so that the manufacturing process is easy.

In addition, an electrode (not shown) of the LED chip 60 is electrically connected through a lead frame 50 formed of the pair of lead terminals and an electrode connection part 70, and in the present embodiment, the electrode connection part. A wire is used as 70.

A molding material 85 protecting the LED chip 60 is filled in the first space 22 of the package 20 in which the LED chip 60 is mounted. In this case, the molding material 85 may be made of a transparent epoxy, silicon, or phosphor mixture, and the like, wherein the phosphor mixture may include one or more phosphors whose wavelength is changed to one of yellow, red, and green. .

In addition, the surface-mounted light emitting diode device according to the present invention further includes a convex lens formed on the first space portion of the package, that is, on the radiation window, as shown in FIG. The light extraction efficiency may be further improved by minimizing the loss of light due to reflection due to the difference in refractive index between the molding material and the air layer on the upper surface of the molding material filled in the space.
