High Brightness (HB) Light emitting diode (LED) technology is becoming the choice for many lighting applications. However, one potential problem with LED based lighting systems is the thermal issue during service, which has restricted LED in the application of mini-devices. In this study, thermal performance of Al2O3 (ALOX) based HBLED package is considered. Steady state heat transfer analysis is carried out using 3-D finite element method (FEM). A new algorithm has firstly been developed, which combines FEM analysis and thermal transient experimental investigation, to determine the interfacial thermal properties of the package. Then the interfacial thermal properties are applied in the FEM model for heat transfer analysis. Temperature distribution and heat flux analysis are calculated and thermal resistance of the package is determined based on the FEM simulation. The results show that die attachment (solder material) plays the most important role in the thermal resistance of the ALOX package, i.e., it takes about 80% of the total thermal resistance. In addition, thermal resistance of the package is mainly caused by the interfacial thermal resistances, the behavior of which depends strongly on manufacturing processes. The parametric study shows that Al2O3 isolation ring increases the thermal resistance of the package because it creates an interface inside the aluminum substrate. Pure Aluminum substrate achieves a better performance in the respect of thermal behavior of packaging designs.

This paper reports the thermal performance of a high-brightness light-emitting diode (LED) array package with a novel placement method on a printed circuit board (PCB). The precise heat transfer analysis and modeling using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) were performed according to the practical working conditions of the LED array. Emphasis was placed upon investigating how the temperature of the surface of LEDs changed in accordance with different placement methods. A significant drop in the surface temperature of the LEDs was found when the triangular and arithmetic spacing placement methods were used; hence, the overall heat dissipating capability of the LED array to the PCB was improved. By optimizing the placement design, the average surface temperature of the LED array achieved a decrease of about 20%, from 120°C to 100°C. The illuminance level of each placement design was measured and compared. Both CFD simulation and experimental results are provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach for LED array thermal management.

In this paper, ways of heat transfer through windows and doors between the indoor and outdoor environment in the northern area are summarized. And every heat transfer way is described by mathematical formula. On this basis, methods to improve the energy saving performance of exterior windows are put forward according to factors affecting heat transfer through windows. The first method is increasing solar radiation heat, and then reducing heat loss by infiltration, and increasing the thermal resistance as much as possible. Ideal form of energy-saving window is proposed based on compared windows with different material and thermal resistance.

Unlike other light sources such as fluorescent lamps and incandescent bulbs, light-emitting diodes (LED) convert 70∼80% of energy into heat. If the heat produced an LED chip is not effectively released, its luminous efficiency and lifespan are reduced. Therefore, as a method effectively release heat, an LED PKG substrate containing a heat-releasing material with excellent thermal conductance was fabricated, and its thermal resistance and luminous efficiency were analyzed. In this experiment, a thin polyimide film with excellent ductility was used to fabricate the LED PKG substrate. A 35-μm-thick Cu foil with excellent thermal conductance was subjected to high temperature and pressure and attached to both sides of the polyimide film. By electroplating Ag or Au, which has excellent thermal conductance, for us as the electrode and heat-releasing material, LED PKG substrate was fabricated with a thickness of approximately 170 μm. (−40 °C → RT → 120 °C). The results revealed that the LED PKG substrate having a Ag electrode with excellent thermal conductance had an excellent thermal resistance of approximately 4.2 °C/W (Au electrode: 5.6 °C/W). The luminous flux after 100 cycles in the thermal shock test was reduced by approximately 0.09% (Au electrode: 2.77%), indicating that the LED PKG substrate had excellent thermal resistance without any mechanical and material defects in a rapid-temperature-changing environment. The advantages and excellent thermal resistance can be exploited in cellular phones and LCD panels, and heat-releasing problems in thin panels be solved.
