    Abstract: A light-emitting module is provided. The light emitting module includes a substrate; a thin-film layer that is disposed above the substrate, the thin-film layer defining an opening that exposes a surface of the substrate; a light-emitting element disposed above the substrate and in the opening; and a sealant disposed above the substrate and in the opening, the sealant containing a wavelength converter and sealing the light-emitting element. A thickness of the thin-film layer is less than a thickness of the sealant. An edge portion of the sealant is in contact with the thin-film layer. The surface of the substrate and a surface of the thin-film layer are hydrophilic. The surface of the thin-film layer has a lower wettability than a wettability of the surface of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 9728695
    Abstract: A mount substrate includes: an insulation substrate containing resin and glass; connection conductors formed on a surface of the insulation substrate; a first white resist layer that covers the connection conductors; and a second white resist layer that covers the first white resist. Each of the connection conductors includes a copper foil and a plating layer partly formed on the copper foil. The plating layer is formed of metal having oxidation-resistant and corrosion-resistant characteristics higher than those of copper. The first white resist layer is formed with first openings that respectively expose the plating layers of the connection conductors. The second white resist layer covers a periphery of each plating layer of the connection conductors in planar view.
