MULTIPLE DIE LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED) COMPONENTS AND METHODS OF FABRICATING SAME

摘要

A Light Emitting Diode (LED) component includes discrete LED dies that are spaced apart from one another. An electrical connection element is provided adjacent the LED dies and configured to electrically connect the discrete LED dies in series and/or in parallel. A unitary optically transparent structure is provided on the second faces of the LED dies remote from the anode and cathode contacts, that spans the plurality of LED dies. The LED component is unsupported by a submount that spans adjacent ones of the LED dies. The electrical connection element may be a patterned metal sheet that is patterned to electrically connect the discrete LED dies in series and/or in parallel. The electrical connection element may also be wire bonds adjacent the LED dies that are arranged to electrically connect the discrete LED dies in series and/or in parallel.

1. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) component comprising:
a plurality of discrete LED dies that are spaced apart from one another, a respective one of which comprises first and second opposing faces and an anode contact and a cathode contact on the first face thereof, the plurality of discrete LED dies oriented such that the first faces of adjacent LED dies are adjacent one another and the second faces of adjacent LEDs are adjacent one another; an electrical connection element adjacent the first faces of the LED dies and configured to electrically connect the plurality of discrete LED dies in series and/or in parallel; and a unitary optically transparent structure on the second faces of the LED dies remote from the anode and cathode contacts, that spans the plurality of LED dies.
