Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) with higher illumination efficiency is revealed. The LED includes a LED chip and an optical layer arranged on the bottom of the LED chip. The optical layer is a light-guiding layer, a light reflective layer or an energy-conversion layer that increases light emitting efficiency of the LED. Furthermore, a rough layer is disposed between the LED chip and the optical layer so as to increase surface area of the LED chip. Thus light emitted from the LED chip enters the optical layer more easily and the illumination efficiency of the LED is increased.

Claims (12)

1. A light emitting diode (LED) with higher illumination efficiency comprising:

a light emitting diode (LED) chip;

an optical layer disposed on bottom of the LED chip for increasing illumination efficiency of the LED chip while the optical layer is an energy-conversion layer that extends to cover sides of the LED chip; and

a rough layer disposed between the LED chip and the optical layer while surface roughness of the rough layer ranges from 0.5 nm to 150 nm.

2. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the energy-conversion layer is formed by spin coating, inkjet coating, electron-beam evaporation, sputtering, or screening printing.

3. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the LED is disposed in a packaging member that comprising:

a loading base for mounting the LED and having two conductive pins while the LED chip is electrically connected with the two conductive pins by wires; and

a covering covered over the loading base.

4. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein minimum thickness of the optical layer is 5 um.

5. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the optical layer is disposed with a plurality of heat dissipation channels that are filled with a thermal conductive material.

6. The LED as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the LED further comprising:

a selective reflective layer disposed on the LED chip, corresponding to the optical layer and the selective reflective layer is a Bragg grating.
