  • Publication number: 20220140211
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a substrate, a reflective resin layer, and a light emitting element. The reflective resin layer is disposed on the substrate and contains a first reflective material and a first resin. The reflective resin layer including first flat part having a first thickness, a second flat part having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness, and a protruded part having a third thickness larger than the first thickness. The light emitting element is disposed on the second flat part of the reflective resin layer, with a portion of a lateral face of the protruded part of the reflective resin layer being in contact with a portion of a lateral face of the light emitting element.

  • Patent number: 9905740
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light emitting element, a light-reflecting substrate, and an electrically conductive member. The light emitting element includes a first surface and an electrode provided on the first surface. The light-reflecting substrate has a first main surface facing the first surface of the light emitting element and has a second main surface opposite to the first main surface. The light-reflecting substrate defines a hole at a position corresponding to the electrode. The hole penetrates through the light-reflecting substrate from the first main surface to the second main surface. The electrically conductive member includes a substantially spherical core arranged in the hole and bonded with the electrode, and a coating portion provided in a space between the substantially spherical core and a lateral surface of the hole.

  • Patent number: 9466770
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a light emitting device having a light emitting element and a resin layer containing fluorescent material particles and a filler which reflects light comprises a fluorescent material precipitation process for precipitating the fluorescent material particles in advance of the filler. A light emitting device comprises a base body; a light emitting element mounted on an upper surface of the base body via a mounting portion; and a sealing resin for sealing the light emitting element. The sealing resin comprises: a fluorescent material-containing first layer for covering the light emitting element on and above the mounting portion, a fluorescent material-containing second layer formed on an upper surface of the base body around the mounting portion, and a filler-containing layer formed on the fluorescent material-containing second layer around the mounting portion.

  • Patent number: 9172007
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light emitting device, using a spray coating method, a fluorescent material can be easily adhered on corner portions and side surfaces of an LED chip, a lens-shaped light transmissive resin member surface, an optical lens surface, etc., and a spray coating machine used in the method. The method includes mounting an LED chip on a substrate member, applying a spray coating to a coating object including the LED chip by spraying a powder-containing solution. The applying a spray coating is performed such that a powder-containing solution is sprayed through a solution nozzle arranged above the coating object, as a spray direction of the powder-containing solution indicating a central axis, while using at least one gas nozzle arranged in a surrounding relationship to the central axis, spraying a gas toward the central axis to alter the direction of the spray made of the powder-containing solution.
