Abstract

An LED lead frame mounted on a platform of a lightbulb includes a metal polarity substrate, a metal retaining substrate and a casing for partially covering the metal polarity substrate and the metal retaining substrate. The metal retaining substrate is a sheet bent into a disposing portion and a carrying portion, and an included angle θ 1 is defined between the portions, and an abutting surface of the disposing portion abuts the platform, and a portion of the carrying portion not covered by the casing is provided for installing at least one LED chip. The metal polarity substrate is bent to form an included angle θ 2 , and θ 1 =θ 2 , and 93°≦θ 1 ≦130°. The casing has a support member formed on the casing and protruded in a direction opposite to the direction of bending the metal retaining substrate. The LED lead frame enhances the illumination angle and light uniformity of the lightbulb.

Claims (7)

1. A light emitting diode (LED) lead frame, mounted onto a platform inside a lightbulb, and comprising a metal polarity substrate, a metal retaining substrate and a casing for partially covering the metal polarity substrate and the metal retaining substrate, characterized in that the metal retaining substrate is a sheet bent into a disposing portion and a carrying portion, and an abutting surface of the disposing portion abuts the platform, and a portion of the carrying portion not covered by the casing is provided for installing at least one LED chip, and an included angle θ 1 is defined between the disposing portion and the carrying portion, and the metal polarity substrate is bent to form an included angle θ 2 , and θ 1 =θ 2 , and 93°≦θ 1 =130°; and the casing has a support member formed on the casing and protruded in a direction opposite to the direction of bending the metal retaining substrate, wherein the support member is a wedge shaped member, the casing further includes a weight member formed on the casing and disposed at a position opposite to the support member,

wherein the casing includes a sucking member formed on the casing and disposed at a position opposite to the other end of the disposing portion, and the sucking member is a wedge shaped member protruding in a direction toward a center of the platform and has a sucking surface parallel to the abutting surface.

2. A light emitting diode (LED) bulb, comprising a lamp holder and an electric socket, and the lamp holder having a platform installed therein, and a straight line passing through a center position of the platform and a tip position of the lamp holder being defined as the Z-axis, and the center being defined as the origin, and a direction facing the tip being defined as the positive direction of the Z-axis, comprising:

at least three lateral light emission lead frames, disposed around the periphery of the platform, and having a metal polarity substrate, a metal retaining substrate and a casing for partially covering the metal polarity substrate and the metal retaining substrate, wherein the metal retaining substrate is a sheet bent into a disposing portion and a carrying portion, and the disposing portion abuts the platform, and a portion of the carrying portion not covered by the casing is provided for installing at least one LED chip, and an included angle θ 1 is defined between the disposing portion and the carrying portion, and the metal polarity substrate is bent to form an included angle θ 2 , and θ 1 =θ 2 , and 93°≦θ 1 ≦130°; and the casing has a support member formed on the casing and protruded in a direction opposite to the direction of bending the metal retaining substrate; and

at least one forward light emitting lead frame, mounted onto the platform, and having a light emitting area, and an exit light direction of the light emitting area faces the positive direction of the Z-axis,

wherein the support member is a wedge shaped member, the casing further includes a weight member disposed at a position opposite to the support member,

wherein the casing includes a sucking member formed on the casing and disposed at a position opposite to the other end of the disposing portion, and the sucking member is a wedge shaped member protruding in a direction toward a center of the platform and has a sucking surface, such that after the disposing portion abuts the platform, the sucking surface is parallel to the platform.
