Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The instant disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a LED chip package structure, and particularly relates to a method of manufacturing a LED chip package structure for generating a strip light- emitting area on the LED chip package structure.

2. Description of Related Art

Referring to FIGS. 1A to 1C, a known LED package structure is manufactured via a wire-bounding process. The known LED package structure includes a substrate 1a, a plurality of LEDs 2a disposed on the substrate 1a, a plurality of wires 3a, and a plurality of fluorescent colloids 4a.

Each of the LEDs 2a is disposed on the substrate 1a, and each LED 2a has positive and negative electrode areas 21a, 22a respectively electrically connected with a corresponding positive area 11a and a corresponding negative electrode area 12a of the substrate 1a. Moreover, each fluorescent colloid 4a is correspondingly covered over each LED 2a and two wires 3a for protecting the LEDs 2a.

However, because each fluorescent colloid 4a needs to be covered over each corresponding LED 2a, the known package process is time-consuming. Moreover, because the fluorescent colloids 4a are separated from each other, a dark band is easily produced between the two fluorescent colloids 4a or the two LEDs 2a. Hence, the known LED package structure is hard to show a good vision for users.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One aspect of the instant disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a LED chip package structure. The LED chip package structure includes a plurality of LED chips disposed on a strip substrate body by an adhesive or a hot pressing method for generating light. The substrate unit is a PCB, a flexible substrate, an aluminum substrate, or a ceramic substrate. Each LED chip is electrically connected with the substrate unit via two corresponding wires by a wire-bounding method or via a plurality of solder balls by a flip-chip method. Moreover, a package unit is used to cover the substrate unit and the light-emitting unit for guiding the light from the light-emitting unit to form a series of light-generating areas on the package unit. Hence, because the series of light-generating areas is continuous, there is no any dark band between the LED chips. Furthermore, because the package unit is a continuous colloid body, the process of the LED chip package structure is simple for reducing manufacturing time.

One of the embodiments of the instant disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a LED chip package structure, comprising the steps of: providing a substrate unit including a strip substrate body; electrically connecting a plurality of LED chips to the strip substrate body, wherein the LED chips are disposed on the strip substrate body; and placing a strip package colloid body on the strip substrate body to cover the LED chips, wherein the strip package colloid body has an exposed top surface and an exposed surrounding peripheral surface connected between the exposed top surface and the strip substrate body, and the strip package colloid body has at least one exposed lens portion projected upwardly from the exposed top surface thereof and corresponding to the LED chips, wherein light beams generated by the LED chips pass through the strip package colloid body to form a strip light-emitting area on the strip package colloid body.

Seventh Embodiment

Referring to FIGS. 5A to 5C, the seventh embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a LED chip package structure, comprising: a substrate unit 1, a light-emitting unit 2, and a package unit 3.

The substrate unit 1 includes a strip substrate body 10, a plurality of heat-dissipating structures 11 passing through the strip substrate body 10, and a heat-dissipating layer 12 disposed on the bottom surface of the substrate body 10 to contact the heat-dissipating structures 11. For example, the strip substrate body 10 has a plane top surface 100. Each heat-dissipating structure 11 has at least one heat-dissipating hole 11A passing through the strip substrate body 10 and at least one heat-dissipating body 11B, and the at least one heat-dissipating hole 11A is filled with the at least one heat-dissipating body 11B. The heat-dissipating body 11B may be any type of paste including metal heat-dissipating molecules, such as silver paste, copper paste, etc.

The light-emitting unit 20 includes a plurality of LED chips 20 disposed on the strip substrate body 10 and electrically connected to the strip substrate body 10. For example, the heat-dissipating structures 11 can be respectively disposed under the LED chips 20 to respectively contact the LED chips 20, thus heat generated by the LED chips 20 can be transmitted to the heat-dissipating layer 12 through the heat-dissipating structures 11.

The package unit 3 includes a strip package colloid body 30 disposed on the strip substrate body 10 to cover the LED chips 20. In addition, the strip package colloid body 30 has an exposed top surface 301 and an exposed surrounding peripheral surface 302 connected between the exposed top surface 301 and the strip substrate body 10, and the strip package colloid body 30 has at least one exposed lens portion 30A projected upwardly from the exposed top surface 301 thereof and corresponding to the LED chips 20. In addition, only the bottom surface of the strip package colloid body 30 is hidden by the strip substrate body 10 and the other surfaces (such as light-output surfaces) of the strip package colloid body 30 are completely exposed, thus light beams (not shown) generated by the LED chips 20 can be guided to go away from the light-output surfaces (the other surfaces) of the strip package colloid body 30 without using any reflection frame that has been formed on the strip substrate body 10.

For example, the exposed top surface 301 of the strip package colloid body 30 can be substantially horizontal to the plane top surface 100 of the strip substrate body 10, and the exposed surrounding peripheral surface 302 of the strip package colloid body 30 can be substantially vertical to the plane top surface 100 of the strip substrate body 10. The strip package colloid body 30 can be formed by mixing a plurality of phosphor powders with one of silicone and epoxy. The exposed lens portion 30A can be integrally formed on the exposed top surface 301 of the strip package colloid body 30 and disposed above the LED chips 20. Hence, light beams (not shown) generated by the LED chips 20 can pass through the strip package colloid body 30 to form a strip light-emitting area on the strip package colloid body 30.

Of course, the seventh embodiment can omit the exposed lens portion 30A, thus the whole exposed top surface 301 of the strip package colloid body 30 is plane and is substantially horizontal to the plane top surface 100 of the strip substrate body 10 and substantially vertical to the exposed surrounding peripheral surface 302 of the strip package colloid body 30. Furthermore, the exposed surrounding peripheral surface 302 of the strip package colloid body 30 can separated from the lateral surface of the strip substrate body 10 or can be substantially flushed with the lateral surface of the strip substrate body 10. In addition, the exposed lens portion 30A also can be divided into a plurality of exposed lens units respectively corresponding to the LED chips 20 and respectively disposed above the LED chips 20.

Referring to FIG. 8, the seventh embodiment of the instant disclosure provides another method of manufacturing a LED chip package structure, comprising: providing a substrate unit 1 including a strip substrate body 10 and a plurality of heat-dissipating structures 11 passing through the strip substrate body 10 (S300); electrically connecting a plurality of LED chips 20 to the strip substrate body 10, wherein the LED chips 20 are disposed on the strip substrate body 10, and the heat-dissipating structure 11 are respectively disposed under the LED chips 20 to respectively contact the LED chips 20 (S302); and then placing a strip package colloid body 30 on the strip substrate body 10 to cover the LED chips 20, wherein the strip package colloid body 30 has an exposed top surface 301 and an exposed surrounding peripheral surface 302 connected between the exposed top surface 301 and the strip substrate body 10, and the strip package colloid body 30 has at least one exposed lens portion 30A projected upwardly from the exposed top surface 301 thereof and corresponding to the LED chips 20 (S304).

In conclusion, the LED chips 20 are disposed on the strip substrate body 10 by the adhesive or the hot pressing method for generating light. Moreover, the package unit 3 is used to cover the substrate unit 1 and the light-emitting unit 2 for guiding the light from the light-emitting unit to form the series of light-generating areas on the package unit 3. Hence, because the series of light-generating areas is continuous, there is no any dark band between every two LED chips 20. Furthermore, because the package unit 3 is a continuous colloid body, the process of the LED chip package structure is simple for reducing manufacturing time.
