Title of the Invention
LED ENCAPSULANT
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an LED encapsulant comprising scattering particles which scatter light produced from a light emitting diode (hereinafter, this will be referred to as X LED' ) chip.
Background Art
An LED package is mainly constituted by a chip, an adhesive, an encapsulant, a fluorescent substance and a heat-radiant material.
Among these components, the LED chip is the part that produces light, and through a p-n junction constitution possessed by the chip, light is produced when electric current is applied and electrons combine with positive holes. The adhesive is often used for bonding other materials together in the LED package. The function includes allowing mechanical contact between faces of a chip and a package, a package and a substrate, a substrate and a heat sink or the like; electrical conduction with a substrate or a package; heat release; or the like. The LED fluorescent substance is a typical wavelength conversion substance of a dye, a semiconductor or the like and refers to a substance that absorbs energy of electron beam, X-rays, ultraviolet rays and the like and then emits some of the absorbed energy as visible rays. It played an important role in developing an LED package for white light. The heat-radiant material includes a heat sink, a slug and the like, and is closely related to the life of an LED package.
The basic function of the encapsulant is to protect an LED chip and emit light to the outside by allowing penetration of light. As an LED encapsulant resin, epoxy series and silicone series are mainly suggested. In recent years, mostly, silicone encapsulants are used for high-power LED packaging materials. As compared to conventional epoxy encapsulants, silicone encapsulants are more durable against blue and ultraviolet rays and also highly resistant to heat and moisture. For this reason, silicone encapsulants are used for lighting LEDs and backlight LEDs nowadays, however, there is a problem such as that the gas barrier properties are poor and thus degradation of elements or corrosion of electrodes may be produced.
Currently used LEDs are configured in the manner that an LED encapsulant covers a blue LED chip and a yellow fluorescent substance (YAG) is dispersed in an LED encapsulant resin. When the blue light from the LED chip passes the yellow fluorescent substance, colour changes to white. The white light obtained in this manner provides high brightness, but there are disadvantages such as that it is difficult to control the hue and there is a phenomenon of changing in colour due to a change in the surrounding temperature. In this type of method, since the colour temperature is controlled by adjusting the amount of a fluorescent substance dispersed in an LED encapsulant resin, the content of the fluorescent substance has to be increased in order to lower the colour temperature. This results in increasing the cost of manufacturing an LED package, and consequently, a technique of reducing the used amount of a yellow fluorescent substance is required.
In addition, KR20090017346A describes an LED package including diffusion means comprising reflective particles . Prior Arts Patent Document

Detailed Description for Carrying Out the Invention
The present invention will be described in detail below. licone matrix and scattering particles>
The invention relates to a LED encapsulant comprising a scattering particle mixture, comprising:
(i) a linear polymer including a dimethylsiloxane group which has at least one vinyl end substituent and/or a linear polymer including a methylphenylsiloxane group and/or a diphenylsiloxane group which has at least one vinyl end substituent; and
(ii) at least one resins selected from MQ resin, MDT resin or MT resin, comprising a Si-H Si-Vi and Si- Aryl functional groups. The above mentioned resin has preferably following structures M vi D H D ph T ph , M vi M H D ph T ph ,
M V lD H T Ph^ M V lM H T Ph^ Qr M 1 (D) T Ph _
An LED encapsulant includes a basic silicone matrix and scattering particles which do not mix with each other. In one embodiment of this invention (i) acts as silicone matrix and (ii) as scattering particles. In a second embodiment of this invention (ii) acts as silicone matrix and (i) as scattering particles. Herein, the basic silicone matrix can be largely divided into a methylsiloxane matrix and a phenylsiloxane matrix.
When the basic silicone matrix is a methylsiloxane matrix, (i) a linear polymer ( (- (C¾) 2 SiO) n ~) including a dimethylsiloxane group which has a vinyl end substituent and/or (ii) a vinyl-based ViMQ resin are/is used as the basic silicone matrix. A substance that does not mix with the methylsiloxane matrix is used as scattering particles, such as one or more of (i) a linear polymer (- ( (CH3) (Ph)SiO) n ~ ) including a methylphenylsiloxane group which has a vinyl end substituent, (ii) a linear polymer ( - ( ( Ph) 2 SiO) n _ ) including a diphenylsiloxane group which has a vinyl end substituent, (iii) a MDT resin or MT resin, which has desirably M vi D H D ph T ph , M vi M H D ph T ph , M Vl D H T ph , M Vl M H T ph , or M Vl (D)T ph structure, and a vinyl-based resin which has an Si-H functional group and aryl functional group in which hydrogen crosslinking is possible are used.
When the basic silicone matrix is a phenylsiloxane matrix, one or more of (i) a linear polymer (- ( ( (CH3) (Ph)SiO) n ) ~ ) including a methylphenylsiloxane group which has a vinyl end substituent, (ii) a linear polymer ((Ph)2SiO) n including a diphenylsiloxane group which has a vinyl end substituent, (iii) a MDT resin or MT resin, which has desirably M vi D H D ph T ph , M vi M H D ph T ph , M vi D H T ph , M vi M H T Ph^ Qr M vi ( D) T ph structure, and a vinyl- based resin which has an Si-H functional group and aryl functional group as the basic silicone matrix. In addition, when the basic silicone matrix is a phenylsiloxane matrix, a substance that does not mix with the phenylsiloxane matrix is used as scattering particles, such as (i) a linear polymer ( ( (CH 3 ) 2 SiO) n ) including a dimethylsiloxane group which has a vinyl end substituent and/or (ii) a vinyl-based ViMQ resin are/is used.
The content of scattering particles is controlled according to used vinyl base resin, linear polymer, surfactant and/or other additives. As the content of scattering particles increasing, light loss would be increased. So the contents of scattering particles should be controlled to make optimized light scattering. And as scattering particles, liquid type or solid type scattering particles is used. Liquid type scattering particles are better to control optical properties but solid type scattering particles are better for stability and lower viscosity.
The linear polymer may be a linear polymer ( ( (CH3) 2 S1O) n ) including a dimethylsiloxane group which has a vinyl end substituent. Since the vinyl polymer has a methyl group, high heat resistance is exhibited. For example, the heat resistance for yellowing stability is exhibited up to about 150°C.
In addition, a linear polymer including a methylphenylsiloxane group which has a vinyl end substituent or a linear polymer including a diphenylsiloxane group which has a vinyl end substituent may also be suggested. These polymers exhibit excellent gas barrier properties.
As a vinyl-based resin, a vinyl-based ViMQ resin, a MDT resin or MT resin, which has desirably M vi D H D ph T ph ,
M vi M H D Ph T Ph M Vl D H T Ph , j jVlj jHrjn M ( D) T structure, and vinyl-based resin which has an Si-H functional group and aryl functional group
