Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) package including a carrier, an LED chip, a first transparent encapsulant, a transparent cap, and a second transparent encapsulant is provided. The carrier has a carrying surface and a ring frame disposed on the carrying surface, and the ring frame forms an encapsulant-containing space on the carrying surface. The LED chip is disposed on the carrying surface and in the encapsulant-containing space. The LED chip is electrically connected to the carrier. The first transparent encapsulant fills the encapsulant-containing space to encapsulate the LED chip. The transparent cap is disposed on the carrier to cover the first transparent encapsulant and the ring frame. The second transparent encapsulant fills an interval between the first transparent encapsulant and the transparent cap.

Claims (14)

1. A light emitting diode package, comprising:

a carrier having:

a carrying surface;

a ring frame disposed on the carrying surface, wherein the ring frame forms an encapsulant-containing space on the carrying surface; and

at least a first connecting portion;

a light emitting diode chip disposed in the encapsulant-containing space on the carrying surface, wherein the light emitting diode chip is electrically connected to the carrier;

a first transparent encapsulant filling the encapsulant-containing space and encapsulating the light emitting diode chip;

a transparent cap disposed on the carrier, covering the first transparent encapsulant and the ring frame, and having at least a second connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are interconnecting with each other; and

a second transparent encapsulant filling an interval between the first transparent encapsulant and the transparent cap.

2. The light emitting diode package of claim 1 , wherein the carrier is a lead frame and comprises:

an electrically isolated body having an upper surface, a lower surface opposite to the upper surface, and a side connecting the upper surface and the lower surface, wherein the ring frame is disposed on the upper surface, and the electrically isolated body forms an opening penetrating through the upper surface and the lower surface;

a plurality of leads, wherein one end of each of the leads is inserted in the electrically isolated body, the other end extends from the side, the upper surface exposes a part of each of the leads, and the light emitting diode chip is electrically connected to the leads;

a heat sink disposed in the opening of the electrically isolated body, wherein the light emitting diode chip is disposed on an upper surface of the heat sink, and the upper surface of the heat sink and the upper surface of the electrically isolated body are on the carrying surface; and

at least a bonding wire through which at least a contact pad of the light emitting diode chip is electrically connected to the carrier.
