Patent AT-E400896-T1: [Translated] SURFACE MOUNT CASE FOR LIGHT EMITTING POWER CHIP

A light emitting die package (10) is disclosed. The die package (10) includes a substrate (20), a reflector plate (40), and a lens (50). The substrate (20) is made from thermally conductive but electrically insulating material. The substrate (20) has traces (22, 24) for connecting an external electrical power source to a light emitting diode (LED) (60) at a mounting pad (28). The reflector plate (40) is coupled to the substrate (20) and substantially surrounds the mounting pad (28). The lens (50) is free to move relative to the reflector plate (40) and is capable of being raised or lowered by the encapsulant (46) that wets and adheres to it and is placed at an optimal distance from the LED chip (s). The lens (50) can be coated with any optical system of chemical that affects the performance of the device (10). Heat generated by the LED (60) during operation is drawn away from the LED (60) by both the substrate (20) (acting as a bottom heat sink) and the reflector plate (40) (acting as top heat sink). The reflector plate (40) includes a reflective surface (42) to direct light from the LED (60) in a desired direction.
