Abstract

An LED package structure including a carrier, an LED chip, an encapsulant and a PL material is provided, wherein the LED chip is disposed on the carrier for emitting light. The encapsulant encapsulates the LED chip. The PL material is distributed in the encapsulant. The PL material is suitable for being excited by the light emitted from the LED chip and scattering the light. Moreover, the present invention provides a novel PL material with a molecular formula of W m Mo n (Y,Ce,Tb,Gd,Sc) 3+t+u (Al,Ga,Tl,In,B) 5+u+2v (O,S,Se) 12+2t+3u+3v+3m+3n : Ce 3+ , Tb 3+ , wherein 0<t<5 and 0<m, n, u, v<15.

Claims (21)

a carrier;

an LED chip disposed on the carrier and suitable for emitting light;

an encapsulant for encapsulating the LED chip on the carrier, and

a photoluminescent material distributed in the encapsulant, wherein the molecular formula of the photoluminescent material is given by:

W m Mo n (Y,Ce,Tb,Gd,Sc) 3+t+u (Al,Ga,Tl,In,B) 5+u+2v (O,S,Se) 12+2t+3u+3v+3m+3n : Ce 3+ , Tb 3+ , wherein 0<t<5 and 0<m, n, u, v<15.

2. The LED package structure of claim 1 , wherein the carrier is a printed circuit board (PCB) and the LED chip is electrically connected to the PCB.

3. The LED package structure of claim 2 , wherein there is a chip-holding cell on the PCB suitable for holding the LED chip.

4. The LED package structure of claim 1 , wherein the carrier is a package frame electrically connected to the LED chip.

5. The LED package structure of claim 4 , further comprising two soldering wires electrically connected between the LED chip and the package frame.

6. The LED package structure of claim 1 , wherein the LED chip is a blue LED chip.

7. The LED package structure of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulant comprises:

an inner encapsulant for encapsulating the LED chip, wherein the photoluminescent material are distributed; and

an outer encapsulant for encapsulating the inner encapsulant and a portion of the carrier.

8. The LED package structure of claim 1 , wherein the photoluminescent material with the molecular formula of

W m Mo n (Y,Ce,Tb,Gd,Sc) 3+t+u (Al,Ga,Tl,In,B) 5+u+2v (O,S,Se) 12+2t+3u+3v+3m : Ce 3+ , Tb 3+ , wherein 0<t<5 and 0<m, n, u, v<15, is a mixture.

9. The LED package structure of claim 1 , wherein the photoluminescent material with the molecular formula of
