  • Patent number: 7750361
    Abstract: A surface mount LED apparatus is provided which can prevent separation of the surface of an LED chip from a sealing resin portion. Patterned circuits on a substrate are provided with a device mounting region and a wire bond region, and an increased-thickness portion having a thickness 1.6 times or more than the greater of the thickness of the device mounting region and the thickness of the wire bond region. When the apparatus is heated, this configuration allows for inducing interfacial separation between the increased-thickness portion and the sealing resin portion earlier than interfacial separation is induced between the LED chip and the sealing resin portion. This configuration can prevent interfacial separation between the LED chip and the sealing resin portion.

  • Publication number: 20100157583
    Abstract: An LED device and an LED lighting apparatus using the same can include a casing including a cavity and at least one pair of LED chips including a first and second LED chips. The LED chips can be adjacently located in the cavity, and an encapsulating resin including a phosphor can be disposed in the cavity so as to encapsulate the LED chips. A light-emitting surface of the first LED chip can be covered with a transparent resin, and therefore color temperatures of light emitted from the first and second LED chips can be located on a substantially black body due to a difference between their distances to the encapsulating resin. Thus, the LED lighting apparatus using the LED device can selectively emit white light having a preferable color temperature that is close to a natural color between the color temperatures by adjusting current applied to the LED chips.

  • Publication number: 20100140654
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for sealing a light-emitting device wherein formation of air bubbles in a light-emitting device module can be prevented by performing no gelation after fitting of a cover member. This method also enables to seal a light-emitting device by using a gel sealing material composed of a gel precursor which uses a solvent. Also disclosed is a light-emitting module formed by such a sealing method. In this method for sealing a light-emitting device, gelation of the gel precursor of a gel sealing material is performed before placing the precursor on the light-emitting device, and thus no gelation is necessary after fitting of a cover member. Consequently, a gel precursor having high viscosity that is difficult to be used in an injection method can be used in this method. Furthermore, a substance which requires use of a solvent can be used as a gel precursor of a gel sealing material.
