The present disclosure relates to a light emitting device package structure and a method of manufacturing a light emitting device package structure.
Conventionally, a driver chip is disposed in a frame region of a display device such as a mobile phone, a tablet, or the like. However, this design makes it necessary for the display device to have a sufficient area of the frame region, and a display region of the display device is thus reduced. In recent years, in order to realize a narrow frame of the display device, a chip-on-film (COF) technology is employed, that is, a portion of a flexible circuit board (FPC) is connected to a front surface of a substrate of the display device, and another portion of the flexible circuit board is bent to a back surface of the substrate. The required area of the frame region may be reduced by arranging the driver chip over the back surface of the flexible circuit board.
However, the above-mentioned bending causes stress to concentrate on a portion where the flexible circuit board is in contact with the substrate, which causes the portion to easily peel off or break, and wires on the flexible circuit board are also prone to break and the like. In addition, in order to connect the flexible circuit board to the substrate of the display device, it is still necessary to reserve a portion of the substrate to which the flexible circuit board is connected. Therefore, the frame region of the display device cannot be effectively reduced.
It may be seen from the above that the above existing methods obviously have inconveniences and defects, and need to be improved. In order to solve the above problems, the relevant fields have tried their best to find a solution, but for a long time, no suitable solution has been developed.

It may be seen from the above embodiments of the present disclosure that in the light emitting device package structure disclosed herein, the light emitting device and the chip are electrically connected using the redistribution structure, instead of the conventional film flip-chip packaging technology. Therefore, the problems that the portion where the flexible circuit board is in contact with the substrate easily peels off or breaks, and the wires on the flexible circuit board are also prone to break and the like when the film flip chip packaging technique is employed are avoided. In addition, it is not necessary to reserve a portion of the substrate to which the flexible circuit board is connected, so that the frame region of the display device may be effectively reduced. On the other hand, since the circuit layer in the redistribution structure has a very small line width and line spacing, the effect of thinning the light emitting device package structure can be achieved.
While the invention has been disclosed above in the embodiments, other embodiments are possible. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the claims are not limited to the description contained in the embodiments herein.
It is apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and the scope of the present disclosure is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
