The vast development of the LED industry has created contemporary set of thermal issues with limits the reliability of the high power LEDs. Thus, this paper reports a simulation analysis done on single chip high power LED package to evalute the effects of heat slug material on the heat dissipation of the LED package. The heat dissipation of two types of heat slug material, aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) were compared in terms of junction temperature, von Mises stress and thermal resistance of the LED chip at varied input power of 0.1 W and 1W. Results of the analysis showed that the copper heat slug exhibits a better heat dissipation due to its superior thermal conductivity.

High power LEDs are currently being plagued by heat dissipation challenges due to its high power density thus limiting its further potential development and fulfillment. Exercising proper selection of packaging component could improve the life time of high power LED. In this work, the significance of the heat slug geometry on the heat dissipation of high power LED was addressed through simulation analysis. The heat slug geometries were varied in order to compare the heat dissipation of the high power LED. Ansys version 11 was utilized for the simulation. The heat dissipation of the high power LED was evaluated in terms of junction temperature, von Mises stress and thermal resistance.

In this work, thermal simulation analysis on high power LED is reported where the effect of the heat sink cooling fan and its rotation speed on the heat dissipation of the high power LED was evaluated. Ansys version 11 was utilized for the simulation. The thermal performance of the high power LED package was assessed in terms of operating junction temperature, von Mises stress and thermal resistance. The heat dissipation analysis was done under four types of convection condition:one natural convection conditionthree forced convection condition,. The forced convection condition was used to replicate the effect of a fan with various rotation speeds placed under the heat sink to increase the convective heat transfer coefficient. Results of the analysis showed that that the junction temperature, von Mises stress and thermal resistance of the GaN chip reduces with the increase of the fan rotation speed.

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%. Three heatsinks with fin structure are designed to decrease the junction temperature of the LEDs package.
