Abstract

A light emitting diode and method for fabricating the same are provided. The light emitting diode comprises a lead frame. A first material body is formed on the lead frame, wherein the first material body comprises a tip, an inner surface and an outer surface. A second material body is formed on the lead frame to completely cover the outer surface of the first material body. Particularly, the first material body comprises hydrophilic polymer and the second material body comprises hydrophobic polymer.

Claims (26)

1. A light emitting diode package structure, comprising:

a lead frame having a carrier portion;

a first material body formed on the lead frame to expose the carrier portion, wherein the first material body comprises an inner surface;

a second material body formed over the first material body to expose the inner surface of the first material body and the carrier portion of the lead frame;

an LED chip disposed on the carrier portion of the lead frame; and

a package sealant covering the chip and the inner surface of the first material body, wherein the materials of the first material body and the package sealant are one of hydrophobic material and hydrophilic material, and the material of the second material body is another one of hydrophobic material and hydrophilic material.

2. The light emitting diode package structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner surface is discontinuous.

3. The light emitting diode package structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner surface is continuously smooth.

4. The light emitting diode package structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first material body comprises hydrophilic polymer.

5. The light emitting diode package structure as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first material body comprises hydrophilic polyphthalamide, hydrophilic poly vinyl alcohol, hydrophilic poly vinyl pyrrolidone, hydrophilic poly amides or combinations thereof.

6. The light emitting diode package structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second material body comprises hydrophobic polymer.

7. The light emitting diode package structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the second material body comprises polyester, polycarbonate, poly vinyl aromatic, or polydioxanone.

8. The light emitting diode package structure as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the second material body comprises polymer blended with glass fiber.

9. A method for fabricating a light emitting diode package structure, comprising:

providing a lead frame having a carrier portion;

forming a first material body on the lead frame to expose the carrier portion, wherein the first material body comprises an inner surface;

forming a second material body over the first material body to expose the inner surface of the first material body and the carrier portion of the lead frame;

disposing an LED chip on the carrier portion of the lead frame; and

forming a package sealant covering the chip and the inner surface of the first material body, wherein the materials of the first material body and the package sealant are one of hydrophobic material and hydrophilic material, and the material of the second material body is another one of hydrophobic material and hydrophilic material.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the inner surface is discontinuous.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the inner surface is continuously smooth.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first material body comprises hydrophilic polymer.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the first material body comprises hydrophilic polyphthalamide, hydrophilic poly vinyl alcohol, hydrophilic poly vinyl pyrrolidone, hydrophilic poly amides or combinations thereof.

14. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the second material body comprises hydrophobic polymer.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the second material body comprises polyester, polycarbonate, poly vinyl aromatic, polydioxanone or combinations thereof.

16. The method as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the second material body comprises polymer blended with glass fiber.
