Referring to
The LED 2 has a light-emitting surface 20 in opposite direction to the substrate 1. The LED 2 has a positive electrode 21 and a negative electrode 22 electrically connected to two corresponding positive and negative electrodes 11, 12 of the substrate 1 via the two wires 3 respectively. Moreover, the fluorescent colloid 4 is covering the LED 2 and the two wires 3 for protecting the LED 2.
However, the method of the prior art not only increases manufacture time and cost, but also leads to uncertainty about the occurrence of bad electrical connections in the LED package structure of the prior art, resulting from the wire-bonding process. Moreover, the two sides of the two wires 3 are respectively disposed on the positive and negative electrodes 21, 22. Hence, when the light of the LED 2 is projected outwardly from the light-emitting surface 20 and through the fluorescent colloid 4, the two wires 3 will produce two shadow lines within the light emitted by the LED 2 and thus affect the LED's light-emitting efficiency.
