Patent 7968894 was granted and assigned to Samsung on June, 2011 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An LED package frame includes an LED chip and a heat conductive member made of high heat conductivity material. The heat conductive member has a receiving part at a lateral portion, and is mounted with the LED chip. A lead-coating assembly configured to be inserted into the receiving part of the heat conductive member, including a lead is inserted at one end into the receiving part of the heat conductive member, and electrically connected to the LED chip. An electrically insulating layer is placed in tight contact between the lead and the receiving part of the heat conductive member isolates the lead from the receiving part. With the lead inserted into the heat conductive member, it is possible to reduce size while maintaining high heat conductivity and stability.
