Thermal management is an important issue for light emitting diodes’ utilization. For high power light emitting diode (LED), active heat dissipation method plays a vital role. As a new cooling device, thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is applied in LED packaging for the precisely temperature controlled advantage. In order to evaluate the thermal performance of the TEC packaging designs in LED, experimental measurement is used to assess the chip’s junction temperature of three different cooling models, which include the heatsink model, the heatsink and fan model and the TEC, heatsink and fan model. Based on the research, it is better to apply TEC cooling methods with the power dissipation of LED less than 35 W and the wind speed is 3.6 m/s. However, the power dissipation of TEC itself plays a vital role of the total power dissipation of LED packaging. The results of economic analysis shows that the LED integrated with TEC package achieves 22.34% and 44.73% electric energy saving under the condition of 20 W and 30 W power dissipation of the LED chip contrasts to the fluorescent lamp, but sacrifices 2.71% electric power under the condition of 10 W power dissipation of the LED chip.

Flip Chip Packaging

The effect of correlated color temperature (CCT) on the thermal performance of light emitting diode (LED) filament in flip-chip packaging was investigated in detail. Two filaments with different lengths were selected as the research object, and the thermal resistance of filaments under three CCT (2200 K, 2400 K, 2700 K) were studied. The optical properties and thermal parameters of the two groups of filaments were measured, and the results were analyzed combined with the color coordinate. The experimental results show that thermal properties of LED filaments is closely related to CCT. Under constant current condition, junction temperature decreases with the increase of color difference. With the change of phosphor glue and phosphorus powder ratio, the color temperature of LED filament also changes. In the filaments with the same chip structure and packaging mechanism, the higher the proportion of red phosphorescent powder, the worse the heat dissipation performance of the filament. These results show that in the design and manufacture of LED filament, it is helpful to control the CCT of LED filament under the premise of meeting the use requirements.

With increasing of the input power of the chips in light emitting diode (LED)， the thermal accumulation of LEDs package increases. Therefore solving the heat issue has become a precondition of high power LED application. In this paper, finite element method was used to analyze the thermal field of high power LEDs. The effect of the heatsink structure on the junction temperature was also investigated. The results show that the temperature of the chip is 95.8°C which is the highest, and it meets the requirement. The conductivity of each component affects the thermal resistance. Convective heat exchange is connected with the heat dissipation area. In the original structure of LEDs package the heat convected through the substrate is the highest, accounting for 92.58%.

Key Issues

Heat dissipation and cost are the key issues for light-emitting diode (LED) packaging. In this paper, based on the thermal resistance network model of LED packaging, three-dimensional heat dissipation model of high power multi-chip LED packaging is developed and analyzed with the application of finite element method. Temperature distributions of the current multi-chip LED packaging model are investigated systematically under the different materials of the chip substrate, die attach, and/or different structures of the heat sink and fin. The results show that the junction temperature can be decreased effectively by increasing the height of the heat sink, the width of the fin, and the thermal conductivity of the chip substrate and die attach materials. The lower cost and higher reliability for LED source can be obtained through reasonable selection of materials and structure parameters of the LED lighting system.

The Impact

The conjugate thermal performance of microelectronics module incorporating several power packages and additional passive components in a custom environment is evaluated and further optimized using numerical simulation and experimental validation. The automotive industry deals on a daily basis with multiple packaging and module-level thermal issues when reducing the size of components for a lightning system in a car, while managing the routing of very high current. The study provides a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the IC incorporation into a system module level, for both present and future product development. The reference design is evaluated at a system level, and several improvements are identified to enhance the overall thermal performance of the lightning system. The main concern is related to the possibility of exceeding the thermal budget for a large system incorporating several PQFN (Power Quad Flat No-Lead Package) packages with additional heat dissipation devices in an enclosure, at an external ambient temperature of 85°C. Due to the compactness of the device, there are only limited solutions to extract the heat from the high power dissipation system. The impact on the thermal balance of the trace dissipation, the location and size of the pins connecting the two boards (motherboard and daughter board) forming the system, the header heating and other passive components under various powered conditions are evaluated. A revised model includes additional pins (reduced diameter), modified motherboard and harness structures and their locations; the impact of additional heater traces on both top and bottom surfaces of the motherboard, and a modified daughter board design, is also evaluated. The resulting peak temperatures range from 118.3°C to 137.3°C and the corresponding junction-to-ambient thermal resistances (Rja) vary from 8.4°C/W to 8.8°C/W. Rja is defined as the temperature difference between the peak device and ambient divided by the total power dissipation of the PQFN packages. An optimized design is further evaluated, with lowered thermal resistance from the motherboard, the board-to-board pins, the junction box board, and the wiring harness. The thermal budget is satisfied, as the peak temperatures reached by the two designs are below the 150°C limit. Additional experimental results are used to benchmark the simulation results, within 1–6% accuracy.

In an effort to create a Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting system that is as efficient as possible, the heat dissipation system must be accurately measured for proper design and operation. Because LED lighting technology is new, little optimization has been performed on typical cooling system required for most A19 replacement products. This paper describes the research process for evaluating the thermal performance of over 15 LED lighting products and compares their performance to traditional lighting sources, namely incandescent and compact fluorescent (CFL). This process uses radiation and convection to model typical cooling mechanisms for domestic A19 type replacement LED products. The A19 products selected for this investigation had input wattages ranging between 7 to 60 Watts, with outputs ranging from 450 to 1100 lumens. The average LED tested dissipated 43% (± 5%) of the total heat generated in the lighting product through the heat exchanger. The best thermal performance was observed in an LED product that dissipated approximately 58% of the total product heat through the heat exchanger. Results indicate that significant improvements to the current LED heat exchanger designs are possible, which will help lower the cost of future LED products, improve performance, and reduce the environmental footprint of the products.

AbstractThe effects of various parameters, such as thermal properties of substrates, thermal interface materials (TIMs) and heat sinks on the thermal performance of the light emitting diode (LED) light bars and backlight module are investigated experimentally and numerically in terms of junction temperature (Tj) and thermal resistances from junction to air (Rj-a). The results show that the measured Rj-a of the light bars by powering-on five LEDs in the test is different from one by powering-on only one LED, resulting from the extra heat coming from the adjacent LED packages affecting the Tj for the case of powering-on five LEDs. For the modules, Rj-a is significantly reduced by using the heat sinks for all backlight modules, and aluminum and iron heat sinks do not show any obvious difference in heat dissipation along with any substrates and TIMs. Furthermore, both experimental and simulation results show that the thermal conductivity of the substrates are more important and dominant than TIM and heat sink for the Rj-a of the backlight modules concerned, and also demonstrate that the thermal field for the local model can represent the one in full-scale backlight module.

Lamp System

Light-emitting diode (LED) street lamp has gained its acceptance rapidly in the lighting system as one of choices for low power consumption, high reliability, dimmability, high operation hours, and good color rendering applications. However, as the LED chip temperature strongly affects the optical extraction and the reliability of the LED lamps, LED street lamp performance is heavily relied on a successful thermal management, especially when applications require LED street lamp to operate at high power and hash environment to obtain the desired brightness. As such, a well-designed thermal management, which can lower the LED chip operation temperature, becomes one of the necessities when developing LED street lamp system. The current study developed an effective heat dissipation method for the high power LED street lamp with the consideration of design for manufacturability. Different manufacturable structure designs were proposed for the high power street lamp. The thermal contact conductance between aluminum interfaces was measured in order to provide the system assembly guidelines. The module level thermal performance was also investigated with thermocouples. In addition, finite element (FE) models were established for the temperature simulation of both the module and lamp system. The coefficient of natural convection of the heat sink surface was determined by the correlation of the measurement and simulation results. The system level FE model was employed to optimize and verify the heat dissipation concepts numerically. An optimized structure design and prototype has shown that the high power LED street lamp system can meet the thermal performance requirements.

The aim of this paper is to ensure proper thermal management in order to remove and dissipate the heat produced by a square Light Emitting Diode (LED), as well as to ensure stable and safe operation by reducing the junction temperature. For this, we developed a three-dimensional code, time-dependent that solves the systems of equations for the mass, momentum, and energy using Comsol Multiphysics. After validation of this numerical 3D code, the thermal performance of a LED cooling system with three nanofluids such as MWCNT-Water, MWCNT-Ethylene Glycol, and MWCNT-Engine oil is studied numerically into account of aggregation effect. Several parameters such as: the power of the LED lamp, the inlet temperature and velocity of nanofluid, the length of the heat sink, and the length of the microchannel have been varied in order to find an optimal condition allowing a good heat dissipation from the LED chip to the heat sink. It was concluded that the use of MWCNT-Water in the microchannel is the best nanofluid that can cool the heat sink. In addition, the increase of velocity inlet of the coolant in the microchannel, the length of the heat sink, and the microchannel length while the decrease of the inlet temperature of nanofluid in the microchannel are an important factors allowing the decrease of the junction temperature of the square LED lamp.

Conductive Plastics

We study the effect of thermal interface material such as thermal-conductive plastic on the dissipation of generated heat from the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based headlamp for the application of environment-friendly green energy in vehicles. The thermal distribution and the performances of thermal-conductive plastic with heatsink are consistently investigated by using experimental and numerical results. Various thicknesses of thermal-conductive plastics from 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm used in this research work. Basically the thermal-conductive plastic reduces the thermal interface resistance between the contact of two solid surfaces. As a result, High electrical power of about 15 W (1 A and 15 V) can be possible for applying to the high-power LED package without any damage. The soldering temperature of LED package without thermal-conductive plastic shows approximately 138.7 °C which is higher compared to the LED package with thermal-conductive plastic (124.3 °C). On the other hand, the soldering temperature increases from 124.3 to 127.6 °C with increasing the thicknesses of thermal-conductive plastic. In addition, the soldering temperature decreases from 138.7 to 124.3 °C with increasing the thermal conductivities of thermal-conductive plastic. Finally, a highly thermal conductive property of thermal-conductive plastic will propose for optimum dissipation of generated heat from the LEDs-based headlamp. We also successfully estimate the junction temperature of packaged LEDs by using soldering temperature.
