  • Patent number: 11894498
    Abstract: A light emitting device including a first light emitting element that includes a first electrode having a first polarity and a second electrode having a second polarity that is different from the first polarity. The device has a circuit element that includes a main body, and first and second terminals electrically connected with one another via the main body. The device includes a first wiring having the first polarity connecting the first electrode of the first light emitting element and the first terminal, and a second wiring having the second polarity located in a layer common with a layer of the first wiring and including a portion elongated between the first terminal and the second terminal in a bottom view. An upper surface of the main body is positioned at a distance below an interface between a lower surface of the first wiring and the first electrode.

  • Publication number: 20220123180
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light emitting element, a light-transmissive member, a bonding member and a light-reflective member. The bonding member is disposed between the light emitting element and the light-transmissive member, with the bonding member covering an upper surface of the light emitting element and at least a part of a lateral surface of the light emitting element. The light-reflective member covers the bonding member and a lateral surface of the light-transmissive member. The bonding member includes a surface that is flush with the lateral surface of the light-transmissive member, and an inclined surface that is inclined so as to extend toward the light-transmissive member.

  • Patent number: 11276807
    Abstract: A light-emitting device manufacturing method including providing a light-emitting structure including one or more light-emitting elements and a covering member covering the light-emitting elements. Each of the light-emitting elements have first and second electrodes. The light-emitting structure has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and lower surfaces of the first and second electrodes of each light-emitting element are closer to the first surface than the second surface. The method further includes forming a groove structure on the first surface side by irradiation with laser light such that at least part of the first and second electrodes are exposed to an inside of the groove structure, and forming a plurality of wirings inside of the groove structure.
