Abstract

The present invention provides an LED package including: a heat discharge body provided with a plurality of radially protruding heat discharge fins at an outer circumferential surface and molding material filled spaces between the heat discharge fins; a package body which is received on a top surface of the heat discharge body and has a cavity; a pair of lead frames extended from upper parts of the heat discharge body to both sides thereof; and an LED chip mounted inside the cavity.

Claims (25)

1. An LED package comprising:

a heat discharge body including:

a circular top surface;

a cylindrical side surface;

a bottom surface;

a plurality of radially protruding heat discharge fins disposed in a vertical direction on the cylindrical side surface and

a molding material disposed on a space between the plurality of discharge fins on the cylindrical side surface and on top and bottom surfaces of the plurality of discharge fins in a vertical direction;

a package body which is received on a top surface of the heat discharge body and includes a cavity;

a pair of lead frames extended from upper parts of the heat discharge body to both sides thereof; and

an LED chip mounted inside the cavity,

wherein the molding material is filled in portions of the molding material filled spaces to expose ends of the heat discharge fins.

2. The LED package of claim 1 , wherein the package body is made of metal.

3. The LED package of claim 1 , wherein inner side surfaces of the cavity are inclined surfaces.

4. The LED package of claim 1 , wherein the lead frame includes a receiving unit provided on the upper part of the heat discharge body, an outer bent unit extended and bent from an end of the receiving unit in a vertical direction and a lower end bent unit extended and bent from an end of the outer bent unit in a vertical direction with respect to the outer bent unit.

5. The LED package of claim 1 , wherein a filler is coated inside the cavity to protect the LED chip.

6. The LED package of claim 5 , wherein the filler is made of light transmitting resin.

7. The LED package of claim 5 , wherein a fluorescent material is coated on the filler.

8. The LED package of claim 1 , wherein a molding material is filled in the molding material filled spaces, a bottom surface and a top surface of the heat discharge body, and between the lead frames.

9. The LED package of claim 1 , further comprising:

molding fixing units on top surfaces of the lead frames to fix the lead frames.

10. The LED package of claim 1 , further comprising:

wires for electrical connection between the LED chip and the lead frames.

11. The LED package of claim 1 , further comprising:

a lens coupled to an upper part of the heat discharge body.

12. The LED package of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of radially protruding heat discharge fins are spaced apart from each other with a predetermined distance.
