Method and device for forming reflector in light emitting device package

A method of forming a plurality of reflectors for a light emitting device (LED) package, the method including:

• receiving a first fluid material at at least a first source opening of an upper mold of a transfer apparatus;
• passing the first fluid material through a transfer chamber of the upper mold;
• expelling the first fluid material from the transfer chamber through a plurality of openings in a lower internal surface of the transfer chamber;
• depositing some of the first fluid material on a lead frame disposed on a lower mold of the transfer apparatus through a first opening of the plurality of openings, and depositing some of the first fluid material on a lead frame disposed on the lower mold of the transfer apparatus through a second opening of the plurality of openings;
• forming the first fluid material into a plurality of molded structures by pressing the upper mold toward the lower mold;
• and
• hardening each of the molded structures to form a plurality of reflectors.

An apparatus for forming a reflector for a light emitting device (LED) package, the apparatus comprising:

• an upper mold including:
• an upper-most external surface,
• a lower-most external surface,
• at least a first source opening configured to receive a first material,
• a transfer chamber extending from an upper internal surface of the upper mold to a lower internal surface of the upper mold,
• a plurality of discharge openings in the lower internal surface, the plurality of discharge openings configured to expel the first material, and
• a plurality of cavities, each cavity corresponding to a respective discharge opening, each cavity formed in a shape used for molding;
• and
• a lower mold including:
• an upper-most external surface;
• and
• a lower-most external surface,
• the lower mold configured to support a lead frame onto which the first material is to be deposited using the transfer chamber.
