38. A light emitting diode (LED) package comprising:
-
a substrate including a mounting pad;
an LED attached to the mounting pad;
a lens coupler attached to the mounting pad and defining an opening for containing the LED and a first quantity of encapsulant, wherein the lens coupler includes at least one surface defining a first depression which comprises a first edge that shapes an outer surface of the first quantity of encapsulant, and wherein the at least one surface defines a second depression which comprises a second edge that substantially surrounds the first edge and that shapes an outer surface of a second quantity of encapsulant, wherein the first quantity of encapsulant is positioned between the LED and the second quantity of encapsulant; and
a lens positioned to substantially enclose the opening and to interface with the first and second encapsulants, wherein the lens includes surface that substantially conforms to the shaped outer surface of the first quantity of encapsulant. - View Dependent Claims (39, 42, 43, 49)

53. A method of forming a light emitting diode (LED) package, the method comprising:
-
providing a substrate including a mounting pad;
attaching an LED to the mounting pad;
attaching a lens coupler to the mounting pad, the lens coupler defining an opening for containing the LED, wherein the lens coupler includes at least one surface defining a first depression which comprises a first edge, and wherein the at least one surface defines a second depression which comprises a second edge that substantially surrounds the first edge;
depositing a first quantity of encapsulant in the opening such that the first edge of the surface shapes an outer surface of the first quantity of encapsulant;
depositing a second quantity of encapsulant on the first quantity of encapsulant such that the second edge of the surface shapes an outer surface of the second quantity of encapsulant, wherein the first quantity of encapsulant is positioned between the LED and the second quantity of encapsulant; and
positioning a lens to substantially enclose the opening and to interface with the second quantity of encapsulant, wherein the lens includes surface that substantially conforms to the shaped outer surface of the first quantity of encapsulant. - View Dependent Claims (63)
