Description
The present invention relates to a lighting device including the LED.
Light emitting diodes (hereinafter referred to as " LEDs ") are two-terminal diode devices comprising compound semiconductor materials such as GaAs, AlGaAs, GaN, InGaN, and AlGaInP. LEDs emit visible light as light energy generated when electrons and holes combine when power is applied to the cathode and anode terminals.
The white LED emitting white light may be implemented as a combination of a red LED, a green LED, and a blue LED, or a combination of yellow phosphors with a blue LED. Due to the emergence of white LEDs, the application fields of LEDs have been expanded from indicators of electronic products to living goods, advertising panels, etc. It has reached a stage where it can replace a general lighting source for replacing a head lamp and a fluorescent lamp.
High power and high brightness LEDs are being applied to various lighting applications. The efficiency and lifespan of an LED gets worse as the heat generated from the LED's junction gets higher. High power and high brightness LED packages are essential for the design to dissipate heat generated from the LED chip.
About 15% of the energy applied to the LED package is converted to light and about 85% is consumed as heat. The higher the temperature of the LED chip, the higher the failure rate of the LED package.
Resin molding type LED packages do not provide an efficient heat dissipation structure in LED chips of 0.2W / mK or more due to the low thermal conductivity of plastic resins. For this reason, the resin molding type LED package is used for the indicator which uses an LED chip of 0.1 W or less, and low brightness.
In order to improve the heat dissipation structure of the resin-molded LED package, a heat sink made of copper (heat conductivity 300 -400 W / mK) or aluminum (heat conductivity 150-180W / mK) is provided under the LED chip. A package structure was built that embeds the. Resin molding type LED package with built-in heat sink can be applied to LED package of more than 0.1W by using direct heat dissipation through heat sink metal, so it can be applied to LED package of more than 0.1W, but heat between resin material and metal core for heat sink Cracks occur between them due to the expansion coefficient difference, which causes a problem in reliability.
In order to improve the heat dissipation structure, the LED package body may be used as a metal. As the material of the package body, aluminum, copper, or the like may be used. This structure has excellent heat dissipation characteristics, but due to the transparent silicon filling in the light emitting area, the gold wire connecting the electrode surface of the LED chip is boiled or the silicon (or Cracks occur at the interface between the resin) and the metal, and there is a problem in reliability such as electrode oxidation due to moisture or air penetration.
LED packages using ceramic as the package body material can be used in LED packages that require high reliability due to their excellent environmental resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, UV resistance, and surface bonding with silicon. As the ceramic material, alumina or low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) materials may be used. The thermal conductivity of alumina is 15-20W / mK, which is lower than metal, but suitable for 0.2-1W class LED packages. LTCC is difficult to use in high-power LED packages due to its low thermal conductivity of 3W / mK. In order to remedy this weakness, an attempt is made to form a thermal via hole in the LED package and to fill a metal such as silver therein to increase heat dissipation efficiency through the thermal via hole.
The array-type LED package developed by Laminar Ceramics in the United States simultaneously fires metals and ceramics with similar thermal expansion coefficients, enabling inter-electrode insulation through ceramic layers and designing electrodes and circuits on the ceramics. Therefore, the heat generated from the LED chip is designed to dissipate through the metal to realize excellent performance in heat dissipation. However, this LED package has the disadvantage of having a very high manufacturing cost because it requires the selection of expensive special materials to simultaneously sinter heterogeneous ceramics and metals, and requires very complicated process control.
The above-described conventional LED packages are mostly soldered onto expensive metal printed circuit boards or other thermal clad boards for heat dissipation. In this case, the heat generated in the LED package is dissipated through the metal PCB. Metal PCB is a resin layer on an aluminum metal substrate. It has a structure in which a copper foil layer and a solder resist layer are laminated. The resin layer serves to electrically insulate the copper foil layer through which the current flows and the metal substrate layer thereunder, and form a heat transfer path between the copper foil layer and the metal substrate layer below. Heat generated from the LED package is primarily conducted through the copper foil layer of the metal PCB, and the heat thus conducted is transferred to the lower metal substrate through the resin layer. Therefore, to make the heat dissipation structure more efficient, the thermal conductivity of the resin layer must be increased. The thermal conductivity of the resin layer used in the metal PCB is about 1.0-2.2 W / mk. In metal PCBs, there is a need for a reliable bonding of two metals having opposing combinations of aluminum and copper foil with a resin layer interposed therebetween and having different coefficients of thermal expansion, and a method of reducing the stress between the two metals during bonding performance and thermal expansion. It is becoming. The thermal expansion coefficient of copper is about 17 ppm / K, and the thermal expansion coefficient of aluminum is about 25 ppm / K. In order to satisfy the required performance of the resin layer of the metal PCB as described above, the thickness of the resin layer used in the metal PCB is relatively thick, such as 0.075-0.30mm, and due to the thickness of the resin layer, the thickness of the resin layer between the copper foil layer and the metal substrate There is a problem where heat flow is not desired. Specifically, the heat transfer of the metal PCB, the heat generated from the LED chip is radiated along the heat transfer path through the package body, solder layer, copper foil layer, resin layer, aluminum substrate, due to the low thermal conductivity of the resin layer The resin layer in the flow causes a bottle neck of heat release.
LED lighting devices are spotlighted as the next-generation eco-friendly lighting devices due to the advantages of LED devices such as semi-permanent life, low power consumption, high brightness. In order to increase the competitiveness of the LED lighting device, it is essential to improve the heat dissipation structure of the above-described LED package. The applicant of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2010-0025801 (2010. 03. 23), the applicant of the present invention by directly bonding the LED package to the metal plate (or heat sink) without the resin layer of the heat flow due to the resin layer of the existing metal PCB In order to prevent bottlenecks, we have proposed a method to maximize heat dissipation efficiency and lower product cost. Application of the proposed LED package can maximize the competitiveness of LED lighting devices. However, in order to apply the proposed LED package to a lighting device, a light condensing structure suitable for the lighting device is required, and a design of an assembly structure that can easily replace a problematic LED is required.

The metal plate is any one of a copper plate and an aluminum plate with nickel plating on its surface.
An insulating layer is formed on the surface of the metal plate except the bonding surface of the LED package and the metal plate.
According to the present invention, the LED package is integrally bonded to a metal plate or a heat sink in which there is no resin layer therein, thereby increasing the heat dissipation efficiency of the LED package and lowering the manufacturing cost by using a low-cost metal plate or a heat sink. Furthermore, the present invention manufactures the LED package bonded to the metal plate in an easy-to-replace LED module structure and assembled the LED module together with the light condensing block to increase the condensing effect of the LED lighting device and to easily replace the LED package at the end of life. can do.
