Slim LED package
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein is a slim LED package. The slim LED package includes first and second lead frames separated from each other, a chip mounting recess formed on one upper surface region of the first lead frame by reducing a thickness of the one upper surface region below other upper surface regions of the first lead frame, an LED chip mounted on a bottom surface of the chip mounting recess and connected with the second lead frame via a bonding wire, and a transparent encapsulation material protecting the LED chip while supporting the first and second lead frames.
1. A light emitting diode (LED) package, comprising:
a first lead frame and a second lead frame separated from each other;
an LED chip disposed on the first lead frame and electrically connected to the first lead frame and the second lead frame; and
a wire connecting the LED chip to the second lead frame,
wherein opposing sides of the first lead frame and the second lead frame face each other in a slanted state to the other sides of the lead frames.
2. The LED package of claim 1 , wherein both of the opposing sides have a linear or curved shape.
3. The LED package of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the opposing sides comprises a depressed portion formed thereon facing the other opposing side.
4. The LED package of claim 3 ,
wherein the depressed portion is disposed under the wire.
5. The LED package of claim 1 , further comprising a chip mounting recess formed on an upper surface of the first lead frame,
wherein the LED chip is disposed in the chip mounting recess.
6. The LED package of claim 5 , further comprising an inner resin covering the LED chip.
7. The LED package of claim 6 , wherein the inner resin is disposed in the chip mounting recess.
8. The LED package of claim 1 , further comprising a resin covering at least a portion of the surface of the first lead frame, the second lead frame, and the LED chip.
9. The LED package of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the first lead frame and the second lead frame comprises a groove formed thereon, and the resin is disposed in at least a portion of the groove.
10. The LED package of claim 1 , wherein the opposing sides are slanted at the same angle.
