Patent number: 7473014Abstract: An LED lamp has a convex lens 3 which has an upper portion 5 and a lower portion 6. An upper curved surface 5A of the upper portion is different in shape from a lower curved surface 6A of the lower portion 6 so as to refract rays of light from an LED chip 2 more strongly than the lower curved surface 6A does. This avoids reflection of incident outside light toward a front and hence prevents misrecognition. An interface plane S1 between the upper and lower portions 5 and 6 of the convex lens 3 is located on an upper end face 2A to thereby prevent collection of outgoing light upon the interface plane S1 and generation of an irregular emission peak at the front.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2005Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masaaki Katoh, Masatoshi Omoto, Masataka Miyata, Keiji Takasugi, Masahiro Seko

Publication number: 20070052342Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element emitting primary light and a wavelength conversion portion absorbing a part of the primary light and emitting secondary light having a wavelength equal to or longer than the wavelength of the primary light. The wavelength conversion portion includes a plurality of green or yellow light-emitting phosphors and a plurality of red light-emitting phosphors. The green or yellow light-emitting phosphor is implemented by at least one selected from a specific europium (II)-activated silicate phosphor (A-1) and a specific cerium (III)-activated silicate phosphor (A-2). The red light-emitting phosphor is implemented by a specific europium (II)-activated nitride phosphor (B). The light-emitting device emitting white light at efficiency and color rendering property higher than in a conventional example can thus be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2006Publication date: March 8, 2007Applicant: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masatsugu Masuda, Masaaki Katoh, Kazuhiko Inoguchi, Hiroshi Umeda, Yuhichi Memida, Takashi Oouchida, Yuhsuke Fujita, Masatoshi Omoto

Patent number: 5645707Abstract: In a bonding method for a chip-type electronic part, the electronic part is prefixed onto an element-mounting section of a wiring substrate by using a non-conductive adhesive agent while an external metal electrode of the electronic part is brought close to, or in contact with the metal wiring pattern formed on the wiring substrate. Then, the wiring substrate, on which the electronic part has been prefixed, is subjected to an electroplating process while it is immersed into plating liquid containing a metal component, so that the metal component, which is deposited on the metal wiring pattern, grows to form a metal layer, and the external metal electrode and the metal wiring pattern are thus electrically connected to each other through the metal layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1995Date of Patent: July 8, 1997Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masatoshi Omoto
