Of course, the material of the first electrode and the second electrode is not limited to the types as listed above.
It should be noted that, with respect to a way in which the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected with the light emitting diode chip, those skilled in the art may design according to the actual needs. For example, the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected with the light emitting diode chip by using a metal wire (e.g., a gold wire or a silver wire), or other suitable ways of electrical connection may also be selected, which will not be limited by the present disclosure.
The light emitting diode device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may be used as various light sources, for example, may be used as a backlight of a display device, a daily lighting, a decorative lamp, and the like.
As shown in
For example, a plurality of contact pads 19 are provided on a second surface 23 of the circuit board 15 opposite to the first surface 22 of the circuit board 15, the first electrode and the second electrode of the light emitting diode device 100 are configured so that the first end of the first electrode and the first end of the second electrode are electrically connected with the contact pads 19. For example, the first electrode and the second electrode of each light emitting diode device 100 are soldered to the corresponding contact pads. For example, the first electrode is soldered to the contact pad electrically connected with a positive terminal of the power source, and the second electrode is soldered to the contact pad electrically connected with a negative terminal of the power source, so as to supply the electrical energy to the light emitting diode device.
For example, the second surface 23 of the circuit board 15 is further provided with an insulating member 18 covering an exposed portion of the first end of the first electrode and an exposed portion of the first end of the second electrode. In this way, it is possible to prevent the exposed portion of the first end of the first electrode and the exposed portion of the first end of the second electrode from being interfered by electrical signals outside the contact pads.

For example, the heat conductive layer 16 is a thermal adhesive adhered to the second surface 23 of the circuit board 15. The first electrode and the second electrode of the light emitting diode is in contact with the heat conductive layer 16. In the light source structure 101, heat generated by the light emitting diode sequentially passes through the light emitting diode chip and the first and second electrodes to the heat conductive layer 16; in this case, heat does not need to pass through the circuit board 15. In this way, as compared with the light source structure in which the light emitting diode is provided on the circuit board, the heat dissipation path of the light emitting diode is shortened, the heat dissipation speed is improved, and the service life of the light emitting diode is prolonged.
