Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing an array substrate for mounting a chip according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for describing a method of manufacturing an array substrate for mounting a chip according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4a to 4e are diagrams illustrating a step of manufacturing an optical device substrate having an insulating layer.

Referring to FIG. 3, a method of manufacturing an array substrate for mounting a chip according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a stacking operation (S100), a cavity forming step (S200), and an optical device mounting step (S300).

As shown in FIG. 3, according to the method of manufacturing the array substrate for mounting the chip, first, the stacking step (S100) may be a step of manufacturing an original chip substrate having a plurality of insulating layers, and may alternately stack a plurality of conductive layers and one or more insulating layers for electrically separating the plurality of conductive layers in one direction with respect to the original chip substrate.

Regarding this, a lump of aluminum in which a plurality of insulating layers B are arranged inside with an interval may be manufactured as shown in FIG. 4b by heating and pressurizing a plurality of aluminum panels A having a predetermined thickness in a state of being stacked by bonding the plurality of aluminum panels A in which an insulating film B is arranged between the aluminum panels A as shown in FIG. 4a. Further, in this embodiment, the plurality of aluminum panels may be bonded using a bonding material after anodizing an aluminum panel in order to improve bonding performance of aluminum.

Next, the original chip substrate in which the plurality of insulating layers B are arranged in parallel with an interval may be manufactured as shown in FIG. 4c by cutting the manufactured lump of aluminum in a vertical direction, for example, by a wire sawing method, to include the insulating layer B as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 4b. In FIG. 4c, the dotted lines represent cutting lines for forming each of optical device arrays.

Next, the cavity forming step (S200) may form the cavity including a groove having a predetermined depth with respect to a region including the insulating layer on an upper surface of the original chip substrate.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4d, a cavity D having a predetermined depth from the upper surface of the chip substrate in each chip substrate region may be formed, for example, by a cutting process and the like. In this case, the insulating layer B may have to penetrate a bottom surface of the cavity D. The cavity D may be desirable to have a shape of a wide upper portion and a narrow lower portion.

Further, although not shown, prior to the cavity forming step (S200) or subsequent to the cavity forming step (S200), a step of forming a soldering part for soldering the array substrate for mounting the chip according to an embodiment of the present invention to the printed circuit board by forming a plurality of through-holes in which an insulating layer is arranged between the through-holes from the upper surface to a back surface of the original chip substrate in a state of the original chip substrate, or forming a concave groove having a predetermined depth from the back surface of the original chip substrate may be further included.

Further, the soldering part according to an embodiment of the present invention may be used for soldering and as an electrode part for applying a polarity to the chip mounted according to a structure of the array substrate, and the function of each element according to an embodiment of the present invention is not limited to only the embodiment of the present invention, and various functions may be performed according to a chip mounting method, or circuit construction of the printed circuit board in which the substrate is bonded.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4e, optical devices E may be bonded using a wire after mounting the optical devices E in each cavity D in the state of the original chip substrate.

In this embodiment, in the optical device mounting step (S300) an optical device is bonded to any one among the conductive layers separated by the insulating layer in the cavity, and one electrode of the optical device is electrically connected to another conductive layer in which the optical device is not bonded among the conductive layers.

Next, the original chip substrate may be cut along cutting lines C in the cutting step, and thus each optical device array may be manufactured as shown in FIG. 5. The cutting step may be performed in a state that a lower portion of the original chip substrate is fixed by an adhesive tape and the like.

Second Embodiment

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 6a and 6b, an array substrate for mounting a chip according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIGS. 6a and 6b are a top view and a side view of an array substrate for mounting a chip, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b, the array substrate for mounting the chip according to another embodiment of the present invention may include conductive part A, insulating parts B, protrusion part 110, and concave parts 120.

In this embodiment, the conductive part A may be unidirectionally arranged, and a plurality of chips may be mounted according to the arrangement direction. Being unidirectionally arranged means being arranged in a single direction on the completed original substrate. Further, since the chips are mounted on the surface of the conductive part A, the chips may be also mounted along the arrangement direction of the conductive part A.

The insulating parts B may be alternately stacked and electrically separate the conductive part A. That is, the insulating parts B may separate electrodes of the conductive part A, and thus another electrode may be applied to the mounted chips. Since the insulating part B has a smaller thickness than the conductive part A, an insulating film may be used as the insulating part B.

In this embodiment, the chips mounted on the conductive part A may be directly bonded to the conductive part A, or be in contact with the conductive part A using a wire bonding process and the like according to a shape of the chip.

Further, the insulating part B of the array substrate according to another embodiment of the present invention may be variously configured according to the shape of the chip.

With reference to FIGS. 6a and 2b, in this embodiment, two insulating parts B are constructed, a positive (+) polarity may be applied to the conductive part A separated by one insulating part B, and a negative (−) polarity may be applied to the conductive part A separated by another insulating part B. Further, the polarities may be applied to the chips mounted on the conductive part A in which the electrodes are not applied, by electrically connecting the chips mounted on the conductive part A in which the electrodes are not applied and the chips mounted on the conductive part A in which the electrodes are applied using a wire bonding process and the like between the chips.

In another embodiment, the number of insulating parts B may be arranged corresponding to the number of chips, and the chips are mounted on each of the conductive part A separated by the insulating part B. In this embodiment, different polarities may be applied to the conductive part A separated by and adjacent to the insulating part B, and the electrodes may be applied by constructing a structure which is in contact with the conductive part A which is directly adjacent to the bonding wire or the chip.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the conductive part A which are located in both ends among the plurality of conductive part A may include the protrusion part 110 formed to have a difference in a height with surfaces of the conductive part A in which the chips are mounted

That is, referring to FIG. 6b, in this embodiment, the conductive part A of the both ends may further include the protrusion part 110 having a higher surface than the conductive part A. The protrusion part 110 may perform a function of preventing an encapsulant from leaking when injecting the encapsulant for encapsulating after mounting the chip on the substrate.

Further, referring to FIGS. 6i and 2J, in this embodiment, the protrusion part 110 may further include an inclined surface having a predetermined angle continued with the surfaces of the conductive part A. That is, in FIG. 6b, the protrusion part 110 may have a shape of protruding from the surface of the conductive part A, or in FIGS. 6i and 2J, the protrusion part 110 may be formed to be continued with the surface of the conductive part A by slantly arranging one surface of the protrusion part 110. In this case, the inclined surface of the protrusion part 110 may perform a function as a reflector of reflecting light emitted from an LED chip when the LED chip is mounted.

Accordingly, in this embodiment, preferably, the inclined angle of the inclined surface may be determined to satisfy both the function of preventing the encapsulant from leaking and the function as the reflector.

Further, referring to FIGS. 6e and 2F, in this embodiment, the protrusion part 110 may be also formed with respect to the conductive part A arranged in a center portion of the substrate besides the conductive part A arranged on both ends. The encapsulant may be further prevented from leaking by properly arranging the protrusion part 110 according to a length of the substrate.

Moreover, in this embodiment, at least one conductive part A among the conductive parts A may include the concave part 120 for soldering the array substrate for mounting the chip and the printed circuit board.

In this embodiment, the array substrate is provided with an electrode, and emits light to the BLU or performs a function according to the mounted chip by soldering with the printed circuit board after the chip is mounted.

Accordingly, in this embodiment, when a material of the conductive part A for soldering the conductive part A of the array substrate and the printed circuit board is not soldered well, the concave part 120 may be further included in the conductive part A in order to coat a solder paste or secure a soldering dimension.

That is, referring to FIGS. 6a and 2b, the array substrate according to another embodiment of the present invention may be formed to have the concave part 120 with respect to regions including the protrusion part 110 of the conductive part A located in both ends among the arranged conductive part A, and to have a plurality of concave parts 120 with respect to the center portion of the conductive part A.

That is, in this exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the array substrate is formed inwardly with respect to the surface where the array substrate for mounting chips is soldered with the circuit board, and accordingly, in this case, the optical device is being soldered to the printed circuit board in a state of lying sideways in order to face front. A shape of the concave part 120 may have a shape for increasing a soldering surface dimension, in this embodiment, the shape may have an arc shape, but according to necessity, may have a quadrangular shape or a triangular shape and the like.

Further, in this embodiment, the concave parts 120 of the arc shapes may be formed along the cutting line in the cutting step for manufacturing the array substrate according to another embodiment of the present invention with respect to the original chip substrate which will be described later. That is, when the original chip substrate is cut in order to manufacture the array substrate after making a hole using a drilling process and the like at one position on the cutting line for cutting, the concave parts 120 having the arc shapes may be formed as shown in FIGS. 6a and 2b.

Moreover, referring to FIG. 6d, in this embodiment, the concave part 120 may be formed from the surface of the conductive part A in which the chip is mounted to the back surface of the surface, and the width of the concave part 120 becomes wider as it travels towards the back surface. That is, the concave part 120 in the array substrate for mounting the chip in FIGS. 6a and 2b has a uniform width with respect to the surface, in which the chip is mounted, and the back surface, but in FIGS. 2C and 2D, the width becomes wider as it travels towards the back surface.

That is, when encapsulating the surface of the chip with the encapsulant after mounting the chip, the concave part 120 may have a narrow width with respect to the surface in order to prevent the encapsulant from leaking to the generated concave part 120.

As shown in FIGS. 6e and 2F, the protrusion part 110 may be further arranged in the center portion of the array substrate, and may prevent the encapsulant from leaking to the concave part 120 by arranging the concave parts 120 only in the regions including the protrusion part 110 of the both ends and the center portion.

Further, referring to FIGS. 6g and 2H, in this embodiment, the concave part 120 may be formed inwardly with respect to the back surface of the surface of the conductive part A in which the chip is mounted.

That is, referring to FIGS. 6a and 2b, the concave part 120 may be formed from the surface to the back surface, but may be formed as a groove having a predetermined depth only with respect to the back surface. The concave part 120 may be formed by making a groove of a straight line shape in the back surface with respect to the original chip substrate before the array substrate is cut. That is, when cutting the original chip substrate after the groove is formed, the concave part 120 for soldering the array substrate of a shape as shown in FIGS. 6g and 2H may be formed.

The concave part 120 according to another embodiment of the present invention may be simply manufactured compared with the drilling process, and the encapsulant may be prevented from leaking since there is no region being in contact with a surface in which the chip is mounted. Further, in this embodiment, a cross section of the concave part 120 may have a quadrangular shape, but may have a triangular shape or other shapes according to a process of making the groove in the state of the original chip substrate described above.

Further, in this embodiment, a plating layer may be further formed on the surface of the concave part 120. That is, in this embodiment, when aluminum is used as a material of the conductive part A, the plating part may be formed on the surface of the concave part 120 in order to perform soldering more securely between the array substrate for mounting the chip and the printed circuit board.

Moreover, the concave part 120 according to another embodiment of the present invention may be described as a part for soldering, but may function as an electrode part for applying an electrode to the mounted chip according to a structure of the array substrate. Also, the function of each element according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to only the embodiment of the present invention, and each element may perform various functions according to a method of mounting the chip to be mounted or circuit construction of the printed circuit board in which the substrate is bonded.

Further, the array substrate for mounting the chip according to another embodiment of the present invention may be coated by a solder resist, and preferably, by a white solder resist having excellent light reflectivity performance, on an upper surface. The chip substrate can be prevented from being contaminated and insulating performance can be prevented from being degraded due to the solder paste climbing the chip substrate, and a plating material can be saved, and reflection performance can be improved by a secondary reflection.

When the array substrate according to another embodiment of the present invention is used, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, a step of soldering the unit chip substrates in which the plurality of chips are mounted on the printed circuit board in units of a predetermined interval may not be required. When manufacturing the optical device array as the line source of light using the array substrate for mounting the chip, a color coordinate deviation of a light source for the BLU can be minimized, and a manufacturing step can be simplified. Further, since the optical device array of a single structure is used as the line source of light, an emission angle of light emitted from the optical device become large, and it may not be necessary to form an interval for supplying an amount of light. Accordingly, the display device can be simply constructed. Further, since it is not necessary to solder the plurality of LED chips on the printed circuit board, a thickness of the BLU can be decreased.

Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing the array substrate according to another embodiment of the present invention described above will be described.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for describing a method of manufacturing an array substrate for mounting a chip according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 8a to 8e are diagrams illustrating a step of manufacturing an original chip substrate having an insulating part B.

Referring to FIG. 7, a method of manufacturing an array substrate for mounting a chip according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a stacking step (S100), a dicing step (S200), and a cutting step (S300).

Regarding this, as shown in FIG. 8a, a lump of aluminum in which a plurality of insulating layers B are arranged inside in units of a predetermined interval as shown in FIG. 8b may be manufactured by heating and pressurizing in a state that a plurality of aluminum panels A having a predetermined thickness which are the conductive layers in which an insulating layer is arranged between the conductive layers are bonded and stacked. Next, the original chip substrate in which the plurality of insulating layers B are arranged in parallel in units of the predetermined interval may be manufactured as shown in FIG. 8c by cutting the manufactured lump of aluminum in a vertical direction as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 8b. In FIG. 8c, the dotted lines represent cutting lines for forming each array substrate for mounting the chip.

Next, the dicing step (S200) may cut a surface, in which the chip is mounted, to have a groove of a predetermined depth with respect to a region including the insulating layer on the upper surface of the original chip substrate. The protrusion part described above may be formed with respect to portions which are not diced by the dicing of the surface.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8d, a surface reaching the predetermined depth from the upper surface of the chip substrate in each chip substrate region may be formed, for example, by a dicing process and the like, and in this case, the insulating layer B must cross the surface. Further, the dicing step (S200) may form a soldering part at one position on the cutting line for cutting by making a hole by a drilling process and the like, or making a groove of a straight line shape from the back surface with respect to the original chip substrate before the array substrate is cut.
