  • Patent number: 8350286
    Abstract: A heat radiation structure of a light emitting element has leads, each lead having a plurality of leg sections, and a light emitting chip mounted on any one of the leads. The present invention can provide a high-efficiency light emitting element, in which a thermal load is reduced by widening a connecting section through which a lead and a chip seating section of the light emitting element are connected, and the heat generated from a heat source can be more rapidly radiated to the outside. Further, the present invention can also provide a high-efficiency light emitting element, in which heat radiation fins are formed between a stopper and a molding portion of a lead of the light emitting element so that natural convection can occur between the heat radiation fins, and an area in which heat radiation can occur is widened to maximize a heat radiation effect.

  • Patent number: 8350276
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting device. In the light emitting device of the present invention, light emitting cells of a first light emitting cell block and light emitting cells of a second light emitting cell block corresponding thereto are connected in parallel so that a current can cross the light emitting cells of the first and second light emitting cell blocks. Thus, even though a leakage current occurs in some of light emitting cells, the current is allowed to cross light emitting cells connected in another direction, thereby preventing overload on some of the light emitting cells due to the leakage current and ensuring uniform light emission and prolonged life span in the AC light emitting device.
