Abstract

A package structure for light emitting diode (LED) comprises a base, an LED die, an optical lens and a lens holder. The base comprises at least one holder cavity formed on its surface and at least one chase formed on its side surface. The lens holder comprises an opening, at least one holder stem and at least one wedge. The optical lens is arranged between the lens holder and the base, and also through the opening. The lens holder is fastened on the base by wedging the wedge with the chase and positioned on the base by embedding the holder stem into the holder cavity to enhance the positioning between the optical lens and the base, such that the optical lens can generate a desired light pattern. Therefore, the required time of a packaging process can be reduced, and the lens holder can be removed simply for replacing the optical lens, so the objective of changing the light pattern quickly can be achieved.

Claims

1. A package structure for light emitting diode comprising:

a base, which comprises at least one holder cavity formed on one surface thereof and at least one chase formed on one side surface thereof;

an LED die, which is arranged on the base to emit light;

an optical lens, which covers the LED die to focus the light emitted by the LED die and generate a desired light pattern; and

a lens holder, which comprises an opening, at least one holder stem and at least one wedge, and the optical lens is disposed between the lens holder and the base, and also through the opening, and the lens holder is fastened on the base by wedging the wedge with the chase and positioned on the base by embedding the holder stem into the holder cavity.

2. The package structure as described in claim 1, wherein the optical lens further comprises at least one lens stem, and the base correspondingly comprises at least one lens cavity formed on the surface thereof, and the optical lens is positioned on the base by embedding the lens stem into the lens cavity.

3. The package structure as described in claim 1, wherein the optical lens further comprises at least one lens alignment, and the lens holder comprises at least one corresponding holder alignment formed on an internal wall of the opening, and when the lens holder is fastened on the base, the optical lens is positioned by the lens holder in a manner of jointing the holder alignment to the lens alignment.

4. The package structure as described in claim 1, wherein the lens holder comprises a reflection layer formed on an internal wall surface of the opening.

5. The package structure as described in claim 1, wherein the optical lens is made of glass or plastic for generating a predetermined light pattern.

6. The package structure as described in claim 4, wherein the reflection layer of the lens holder is formed by electroplating aluminum or silver.

7. The package structure as described in claim 4, wherein the reflection layer of the lens holder is formed by spraying an aluminum-based reflector material.

8. The package structure as described in claim 4, wherein the reflection layer of the lens holder is formed by spraying a silver-based reflector material.
