First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A LED filament, comprising: a frame, the frame is a bottomless frame; two metal electrodes, respectively disposed on two sides of the frame; a LED chip assembly, comprising a plurality of LED chips disposed inside the frame and electrically connecting to the two metal electrodes respectively; and a gel comprising phosphor, wrapping the LED chip assembly and parts of the metal electrodes inside the frame. 2. The LED filament according to claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises two holding sides and two non-holding sides, and the two metals are disposed on the two holding sides respectively. 3. The LED filament according to claim 2 , wherein a fasten means is configured to fasten the two metal electrodes on the two holding sides of the frame. 4. The LED filament according to claim 2 , wherein two holding platforms are formed on the two holding sides respectively for holding the two metal electrodes. 5. The LED filament according to claim 4 , wherein a fasten means is configured to fasten the two metal electrodes on the two holding sides of the frame. 6. The LED filament according to claim 1 , wherein the two metal electrodes are respectively embedded at the two holding sides of the frame. 7. The LED filament according to claim 1 , wherein the two metal electrodes respectively comprises a plurality of vias for combing with the frame. 8. The LED filament according to claim 1 , wherein the frame is made of a light transmissive material. 9. The LED filament according to claim 8 , wherein the material of the frame may be selected from thermostable transparent silicon gel or various kinds of plastics with the similar property. 10. The LED filament according to claim 1 , wherein each sides of the plurality of LED chips contacts the gel comprising phosphor. 11. The LED filament according to claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary carrier for supporting the LED chip assembly. 12. The LED filament according to claim 11 , wherein the frame further comprises a plurality of auxiliary supports, each of the auxiliary supports holds each of the LED chips respectively. 13. A LED filament, comprising: two frame plates; two metal electrodes, respectively configured between the two frame plates; a LED chip assembly, comprising a plurality of LED chips electrically connecting to the two metal electrodes respectively and configured between the two frame plates and the two metal electrodes; and a gel comprising phosphor, disposed between the two frame plates for wrapping the LED chip assembly and parts of the metal electrodes inside the frame. 14. The LED filament according to claim 13 , wherein the frame plate is made of a light transmissive material. 15. The LED filament according to claim 14 , wherein the material of the frame plate may be selected from thermostable transparent silicon gel or various kinds of plastics with the similar property. 16. The LED filament according to claim 13 , wherein each sides of the plurality of LED chips contacts the gel comprising phosphor. 17. The LED filament according to claim 13 , wherein a fasten means is configured to fasten the two metal electrodes between the two frame plates. 18. The LED filament according to claim 13 , further comprising an auxiliary carrier for supporting the LED chip assembly. 19.
