An LED module includes: a package having electrodes provided on the outer surface of opposing sidewalls, and a light-emitting element connected to the electrodes and mounted on the package; a base member having a copper metal; an insulating layer stacked on the surface of the base member and having an insulating material; and a conductive wiring pattern connected to the electrodes by soldering and formed on the surface of the insulating layer. The insulating layer has a through-hole formed by removing a part of the section where the package is positioned, and a heat dissipation unit formed by soldering between the back surface of the package and the base member, which face one another with the through-hole interposed therebetween.
1. An LED module, comprising:
a package including electrodes formed on outer surfaces of opposite sidewalls of the package and a light emitting element mounted in the package and connected to the electrodes;
a base member made of copper-based metal;
an insulating layer made of an insulating material and stacked on a surface of the base member; and
an electrically conductive wiring pattern formed on a surface of the insulating layer and soldered to the electrodes,
wherein the insulating layer includes a through portion formed by partially removing a region of the insulating layer, the packaged being arranged above the through portion, and a heat dissipation member made of a solder is arranged between a bottom surface of the package and the base member, the bottom surface of the package and the base member being opposite to each other through the through portion, and
wherein the package includes a through-hole having an inner surface plated with metal and one of the electrodes is electrically connected to the light emitting element through the through-hole.
2. The LED module of claim 1 ,
wherein a metal-made heat dissipation layer is provided on the bottom surface of the package.
3. The LED module of claim 1 ,
wherein the package includes a recess portion formed on an upper surface of the package,
the light emitting element is arranged within the recess portion, and
an upper electrode of the light emitting element is electrically connected to said one of the electrodes via the through-hole and a lower electrode of the light emitting element is electrically connected to the other of the electrodes via a conductive pattern formed on the light emitting element.
