White ceramic led package

Abstract

The present invention is directed to leadless LED packages and LED displays utilizing white ceramic casings and thin/low profile packages with improved color mixing and structural integrity. In some embodiments, the improved color mixing is provided, in part, by the white ceramic package casing, which can help reflect light emitted from each LED in many directions away from the device. The non-linear arrangement of the LEDs can also contribute to improved color-mixing. The improved structural integrity can be provided by various features in the bond pads that cooperate with the casing for a stronger package structure. Moreover, in some embodiments the thinness/low profile of each package is attributed to its leadless structure, with the bond pads and electrodes electrically connected via through-holes. In some embodiments, the structural integrity of the package can also be attributed to indentations along its sides, which do not enable as much plating material to accumulate at the sides and helps package cutting processes during manufacture. The indentations can also contribute to displays having more tightly and densely packed LED arrays.
