Power surface mount light emitting die package
First Claim
1. A light emitting die package comprising:
- an electrically insulating substrate supporting a plurality of traces and a mounting pad on a top surface thereof;
a light emitting diode (LED) mounted centrally over the mounting pad of the substrate, the LED being electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of traces;
a reflector coupled to the substrate and substantially surrounding the LED, the reflector defining a reflection surface; and
an encapsulant covering the LED.

Abstract
A light emitting die package includes a substrate, a reflector plate, and a lens. The substrate has traces for connecting an external electrical power source to a light emitting diode (LED) at a mounting pad. The reflector plate is coupled to the substrate and substantially surrounds the mounting pad, and includes a reflective surface to direct light from the LED in a desired direction. The lens is free to move relative to the reflector plate and is capable of being raised or lowered by the encapsulant that wets and adheres to it and is placed at an optimal distance from the LED chip(s). Heat generated by the LED during operation is drawn away from the LED by both the substrate (acting as a bottom heat sink) and the reflector plate (acting as a top heat sink).
