Abstract
Light-emitting devices including solid-state light-emitting devices, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and LED packages with reinforcement materials and related methods are disclosed. Reinforcement materials may include fibers and/or particles that are incorporated in various elements of light-emitting devices to provide improved mechanical strength, reduced differences in thermal expansion, improved adhesion between various device elements, modified optical characteristics such as modified far field patterns, and/or improved manufacturability. Reinforcement materials may be provided within support elements on which LED chips are mounted. In certain aspects, the support elements may be light-transmissive to light emitted by the LED chips. Reinforcement materials may also be provided in laminate films are that provided on support elements. Such laminate films may provide build-up structures that form cavities for the LED chip, or the laminate films may conformally cover the LED chips.
