  • Patent number: 7301176
    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device includes an LED element, a lead frame on which the LED is mounted, a lead frame electrically connected to the LED element via a wire, transparent resin formed on the LED element and on the lead frames, and light shielding resin having a reflectance higher than the reflectance of the transparent resin, surrounding the perimeter of the LED. The transparent resin includes a lens portion constituting a lens on the LED, and a holding portion holding the lead frame.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5177593
    Abstract: A display device with LEDs includes an interconnection frame in which an electrical lead interconnection is formed by conductive metal plating on a surface including a main surface of a resin substrate capable of receiving a plating process. LEDs are bonded at the predetermined positions on the main surface of this interconnection frame so that they are connected to the electric lead interconnection. A reflection case having openings with their inner peripheral surfaces serving as reflection surfaces surrounding the LEDs is affixed to the main surface of the interconnection frame at a position corresponding to the LED arrangement. In the openings of the reflection case, the LEDs are covered with light transmissive resin members.
