Abstract

An RGB light emitting diode package with improved color mixing properties includes red, green, and blue light emitting diode chips provided on a reflector. A photomixing material and a filler resin scatters rays so as to uniformly mix the rays emitted from the light emitting diode chips. The photomixing material and filler resin are applied onto upper sides of the light emitting diode chips while being mixed with each other, and the photomixing material is uniformly dispersed in the filler resin.

Claims (31)

1. An RGB (red, green, and blue) light emitting diode package, comprising:

red, green, and blue light emitting diode chips provided above a reflector; and

a photomixing material and a filler resin for scattering and uniformly mixing rays emitted from the light emitting diode chips;

wherein, the photomixing material and filler resin cover upper surfaces of the light emitting diode chips, the photomixing material is uniformly dispersed in the filler resin, and the photomixing material constitutes 1-20 wt % of a total weight of the photomixing material and filler resin;

wherein the photomixing material contains the methyl group;

wherein the photomixing material is at least one selected from the group consisting of an epoxy resin and a silicon resin; and

wherein the epoxy and silicon resins are mixed with each other, and a mixing ratio of the epoxy and silicon resins is 1:1.

2. An RGB (red, green, and blue) light emitting diode package, comprising:

red, green, and blue light emitting diode chips provided above a reflector; and

a photomixing material and a filler resin for scattering and uniformly mixing rays emitted from the light emitting diode chips;

wherein, the photomixing material and filler resin cover upper surfaces of the light emitting diode chips, the photomixing material is uniformly dispersed in the filler resin, and the photomixing material constitutes 1-20 wt % of a total weight of the photomixing material and filler resin;

wherein the photomixing material contains the methyl group; and

wherein the filler resin having the photomixing material uniformly dispersed therein is in direct contact with the entire upper surfaces of said light emitting diode chips.

3. An RGB (red, green, and blue) light emitting diode package, comprising:

red, green, and blue light emitting diode chips provided above a reflector; and

a photomixing material and a filler resin for scattering and uniformly mixing rays emitted from the light emitting diode chips;

wherein, the photomixing material and filler resin cover upper surfaces of the light emitting diode chips, the photomixing material is uniformly dispersed in the filler resin, and the photomixing material constitutes 1-20 wt % of a total weight of the photomixing material and filler resin;

wherein the photomixing material contains the methyl group; and

wherein the filler resin having the photomixing material uniformly dispersed therein is directly applied on and in direct contact with the upper surfaces of said light emitting diode chips.

4. The RGB light emitting diode package as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the photomixing material is an opal-based dispersing agent.

5. The RGB light emitting diode package as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the photomixing material has a specific gravity of 0.5-1.8.

8. The RGB light emitting diode package as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the photomixing material is a resin-based dispersing agent being at least one selected from the group consisting of an epoxy resin and a silicon resin.

9. The RGB light emitting diode package as set forth in claim 8 , wherein the epoxy and silicon resins are mixed with each other, and a mixing ratio of the epoxy and silicon resins is 1:1.

10. An RGB (red, green, and blue) light emitting diode package, comprising:

red, green, and blue light emitting diode chips provided above a reflector; and

a photomixing material and a filler resin for scattering and uniformly mixing rays emitted from the light emitting diode chips;

wherein, the photomixing material and filler resin cover upper surfaces of the light emitting diode chips, the photomixing material is uniformly dispersed in the filler resin, and the photomixing material constitutes 1-20 wt % of a total weight of the photomixing material and filler resin; and

wherein the filler resin having the photomixing material uniformly dispersed therein is directly applied on and in direct contact with the upper surfaces of said light emitting diode chips.
