  • Patent number: 11305465
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a phosphor sheet is provided. In the method, a particulate phosphor and a particulate transparent medium are mixed to a first light transmissive resin in a liquid state. The first light transmissive resin containing the phosphor and the transparent medium in the liquid state is supplied into a lower mold of a mold, and the mold is closed. The first light transmissive resin containing the phosphor and the transparent medium in the liquid state is changed to a solid state having a predetermined thickness by applying a heat and a pressure to the first light transmissive resin containing the phosphor and the transparent medium in the liquid state.

  • Patent number: 10971666
    Abstract: A method includes mounting a light emitting device on a board having electrodes on its surface, disposing a resin sheet containing a light conversion material so as to face the surface of the board and filling a space between the resin sheet and the board with a first light transmissive resin, covering a surface of the resin sheet opposite to a surface of the resin sheet covered with the first light transmissive resin, with a second light transmissive resin, forming a groove extending from a top surface of the second light transmissive resin to the board, filling the groove with light reflective resin and covering the top surface of the second light transmissive resin with the light reflective resin, removing the light reflective resin, and dicing the light emitting device by cutting along the light reflective resin.

  • Patent number: 10714360
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a module including N layers of stacked resin is provided, wherein N is a natural number of two or more. In the method, resin of a first layer is cured to a degree that does not fully harden the resin of the first layer. Resin of a Mth layer is stacked on resin of a (M?1)th layer, wherein M is a natural number of two or more and less than N. The resin of the Mth layer is cured to a degree that does not fully harden the resin of the Mth layer. Stacking the resin of the Mth layer and curing the resin of the Mth layer are repeated. Then, resin of Nth layer is stacked, and all of the N layers of stacked resin are fully hardened.
