›BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a light emitting diode module with high heat dissipation, and in particular to a light emitting diode that is easy to be fabricated and capable of increasing lifetime of the product.

2. Description of the Related Art

A light emitting diode is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,204,523, which includes a bottom base, a LED chip, a body, and a lens. The LED chip is mounted on the cavity of the bottom base, then, the body is integrated with the bottom base. The LED chip is electrically connected to the lead-frame of the body by wires. The lens is covered on the body to finish the LED package.

Because of the poor thermal conductivity of the bottom base and body, the heat energy generated by LED chip when applied a higher current may not be dissipated. Thus, the conventional light emitting diode may not be manufactured to obtain higher current.

It is very important how to obtain high heat dissipation LED, and in particular to a white light emitting diode that may be produced to generate higher heat energy, therefore, the heat dissipation effect is very important.

›SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An objective of the invention is to provide a light emitting diode module with high heat dissipation to prolong its durability and lifetime effectively.

Another objective of the invention is to provide a light emitting diode module with high heat dissipation that is easy to be fabricated.

To achieve the above-mentioned objective, the invention includes a metal substrate, a LED chip, a metal light reflection layer, and a first lens, a holder, and a second lens. The substrate has an upper surface formed with a positive electrode and an opposite electrode, and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. The LED chip is arranged on the upper surface of the substrate, and is electrically connected to the positive electrode and the opposite electrode by wires. The metal light reflection layer is located on the upper surface of the metal substrate for surrounding the LED chip, and reflecting the light emitted from the LED chip. The lens is mounted on the metal light reflection layer for encapsulating the LED chip.

Therefore, the heat energy generated by LED chip when applied a higher current can be dissipated, so that the durability and lifetime of the light emitting diode can be prolonged effectively.
