Abstract: A side view type light emitting diode (LED) and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the LED includes i) a pair of lead frames, ii) a reflector surrounding the lead frames, wherein a groove is defined in the reflector, wherein the reflector comprises a plurality of walls surrounding the groove, and wherein at least two walls of the groove face each other, iii) an LED chip mounted in the groove and electrically connected to the lead frames and iv) a lens array contained in the groove.

Abstract: A side view type light emitting diode and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The method may include (a) providing lead frames which include a cathode terminal and an anode terminal, (b) forming a reflector which surrounds the lead frames, such that portions of the cathode terminal and anode terminal protrude from both sides, and which includes a groove open in the upward direction and a wall surrounding the groove, (c) die-attaching an LED chip onto the lead frames inside the groove, (d) bonding the LED chip to the cathode terminal or to the anode terminal with a conductive wire, (e) dispensing a liquid curable resin into the groove to form a lens part and (f) sawing the walls facing each other using a sawing machine such that the thicknesses at the upper surfaces are about 0.04 mm to about 0.05 mm.
