Patent number: 11710810Abstract: A light-emitting device includes light-emitting elements each having a light-extracting surface, light-transmissive members and a covering member, The light-transmissive members each has an upper surface and a lower surface facing the light-extracting surface of at least one of the light-emitting elements. The covering member integrally covers lateral surfaces of the light-emitting elements and lateral surfaces of the light-transmissive members such that a pair of electrodes of the light-emitting elements are exposed from the covering member at a lower surface of the covering member. At a lower surface of the light-emitting device, the light-emitting elements are arranged in a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows, an alignment direction of the electrodes in one of the light-emitting elements is rotated by 90° in a prescribed. direction from an alignment direction of the electrodes in an adjacent one of the light-emitting elements in one of a column direction and a row direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: NICHIA CORPORATIONInventors: Yuta Oka, Nami Abe

Publication number: 20230223502Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a plurality of light-emitting elements, a plurality of light-transmissive members, a covering member, and a plurality of pairs of electrodes. The light-emitting elements are arranged in a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows. The covering member integrally covers lateral surfaces of the light-emitting elements. The pairs of electrodes are arranged at a lower surface of the light-emitting device. The pairs of electrodes include first and second pairs of electrodes aligned along a column direction so that the electrodes of the same polarity among the first and second pairs of electrodes are aligned along the column direction, and a third pair of electrodes arranged adjacent to the first pair of electrodes in a row direction so that one of the third pair of electrodes and one of the first pair of electrodes facing each other in the row direction have the same polarity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Yuta OKA, Nami ABE

Patent number: 11152546Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a plurality of light-emitting elements, a plurality of light-transmissive members, and a covering member. The light-emitting elements each has a light-extracting surface. The light-emitting elements each includes a layered structure including a semiconductor layer, and a plurality of electrodes connected to the layered structure. The light-transmissive members each has a lower surface facing the light-extracting surface of at least one of the light-emitting elements, and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface and having an area smaller than an area of the lower surface. The upper surface of each of the light transmissive members collectively constitutes a light-emitting part having an outermost periphery with a square shape or a circular shape. The covering member integrally covers lateral surfaces of the light-emitting elements and lateral surfaces of the light-transmissive members.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2018Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: NICHIA CORPORATIONInventors: Yuta Oka, Nami Abe
