ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a lighting device package that is configured to enable degassing of the lighting device package. The lighting device package comprises a substrate upon which is operatively mounted one or more light-emitting elements and a retaining structure which is coupled to the substrate and configured to circumscribe the one or more light-emitting elements. In addition, the lighting device package includes an optically transmissive element, wherein two or more supports are configured to provide a separation between the optically transmissive element and the substrate or retaining structure. The volume defined by the substrate, retaining structure and the optically transmissive element, is partially or completely filled with an encapsulation material, thereby forming the lighting device package. In particular, the supports create a series of openings for the volume defined by the substrate, retaining structure and the optically transmissive element, wherein these openings provide for movement of fluid therethrough.
