Tiny 6 pin side view surface mount LED
First Claim
1. A light emitting device, comprising:
- a package comprising a cavity with a floor;
a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on said floor;
a plurality of contact pins in electrical contact with said plurality of LEDs, said plurality of contact pins protruding from a first side of said package;
a second side orthogonal to said first side and opposite a third side, in which at least a first and second of said plurality of contact pins are nearer said second side than said third side and confined to said first side and at least a third, fourth, and fifth of said plurality of contact pins are nearer said third side than said second side, wherein said third, fourth, and fifth pins are between said first and second pins on said first side and said LEDs disposed to emit light toward said second side; and
a plurality of bond pads on said floor to facilitate electrical connection between said LEDs and said plurality of contact pins, wherein at least one of said bond pads run along said floor without interruption, and wherein at least some of said bond pads have a tapered shape.

Abstract
A side view surface mount light emitting device is disclosed. The light emitting device comprises a side oriented package comprising a floor and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on the floor. The device further includes a plurality of contact pins in electrical contact, such that the plurality of contact pins protrude from a side of the package, in which at least one of the contact pins is oriented in a direction opposite the remaining contact pins. The LEDs of the device are disposed to emit light in a direction parallel to said mount surface. Some configurations also include a plurality of bond pads, on or a part of the floor, to facilitate electrical connection between the LEDs and the contact pins, in which adjacent bond pads have a tapered shape such that the widest portion of a first bond pad is adjacent to the narrowest portion of a second bond pad. Displays including such devices are also disclosed.
