Degradation mechanisms in LED packages

Lumen depreciation is one of the major failure modes in light-emitting diode (LED) systems. It originated from the degradation of the different components within the package, being the LED device or chip, the driver, and the optical materials (including phosphorous layer). This chapter describes the state of the art of the degradation mechanism...

Polymer-based 2D/3D wafer level heterogeneous integration for SSL module

This paper demonstrates a heterogeneous integration of solid state lighting (SSL) module, including light source (LED) and driver/control components. Such integration has been realized by the polymer-based reconfigured wafer level package technologies and such structure has been prototyped and tested. The structure design, thermal design...

LED system reliability

This paper presents our effort to predict the system reliability of Solid State Lighting (SSL) applications. A SSL system is composed of a LED engine with micro-electronic driver(s) that supplies power to the optic design. Knowledge of system level reliability is not only a challenging scientific exercise but it is also crucial for successful...

Development of an intelligent integrated LED system-in-package

Intelligent LED lighting systems can save up to 80% of energy compared to traditional lighting systems. In order to provide these intelligent lighting products at reaseonable costs, integration and miniaturisation are important steps. To this end we have designed a LED system-in-package that combines LEDs, driver ICs, and passives into a single...
