Patent number: 11929452Abstract: A method for manufacturing a light-emitting device includes: forming a cover, which comprises: sandwiching a fixing member by a molding device, injecting a light-transmissive material into a space defined in the molding device, and hardening or curing the injected light-transmissive material, wherein the formed cover comprises an upper portion, a sidewall, and a recess, the cover being integrated with the fixing member such that the fixing member projects from a part of an outer lateral surface of the sidewall; disposing a light-transmissive member on a light extraction surface of a light-emitting element to be disposed on a substrate; and disposing the cover so that the light-emitting element is housed in the recess. The fixing member is formed of a material that is deformable due to a pressing force generated in the event of an engagement with a counterpart member.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: NICHIA CORPORATIONInventors: Tsuyoshi Okahisa, Tomohito Shinomiya, Daizo Kiba

Publication number: 20230095815Abstract: Provided is a light-emitting device that can reduce deterioration of characteristics of the light-emitting device by using a waterproof resin. Solution A light-emitting device includes a resin package including a lead, a resin member a light-emitting element, and a mold resin portion. The lead includes an exposed region exposed at the primary surface from the resin member. The light-emitting element is disposed in the exposed region of the lead. The mold resin portion includes a base portion having an upper surface positioned above a primary surface of the resin package and a lateral surface portion of the base portion covering a part of the lateral surface portion of the resin package and a lens portion that seal the light-emitting element.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: NICHIA CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshio ICHIHARA, Kenta MITSUYAMA, Daizo KIBA
