Abstract:Because of the linear superposition of temperature field, the temperature distribution of normal evenly placed chips in high power LED module is usually unevenly presented with high core temperature. In this paper, based on theoretically analyzing the function of temperature distribution of plane heat source and the interaction of multi heat sources, a principle of being dense inside and sparse outside to arrange the chip arrays was proposed. Optimized logarithmic and power arrangements are respectively concluded by Matlab and compared by ANSYS simulation. It is indicated that the highest temperature of the chip arranged in accordance with the optimized arrangement principles is about 5℃ lower than that of the evenly arranged chips; the variance is 56% lower than that of the evenly arranged chips. The heat dissipation improvement of unevenly arranged chip arrays is greater for the modules with narrower and thinner substrate.
