  • Publication number: 20230096212
    Abstract: An LED package includes a light source, a light transmissive member, and a light reflecting layer. The light source includes a resin package, a light emitting element and a wavelength conversion material. The resin package includes first and second leads and a resin member. The resin package defines a recess having a bottom face defined by portions of the first and second leads, and a portion of the resin member, and a lateral wall defined by a portion of the resin member. The light emitting element is disposed on or above the bottom face in the recess. The wavelength conversion material is disposed in the recess. The light transmissive member is disposed on or above the light source. The light reflecting layer is disposed on or above the light transmissive member at least on an upper side along an optical axis of the light emitting element.

  • Patent number: 11489097
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a substrate, a light source, a cover member, a light transmissive member disposed on or above the light source, a light reflecting layer disposed on or above the light transmissive member, and a light transmissive cover member. The cover member is made of a resin material containing a light reflecting substance and covers a lateral face of the light source. The light transmissive cover member covers at least a lateral face of the light transmissive member and includes an annular lens part. A thickness of a portion of the light transmissive cover member disposed above a perimeter of the light reflecting layer is larger than a thickness of a portion of the light transmissive cover member disposed above a portion of the light reflecting layer where an optical axis of the light emitting element passes through.

  • Patent number: 10967588
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light emitting device includes providing a substrate on which a light source is disposed. An underfill material is ejected from a nozzle onto the substrate substantially around the light source in a circular shape, a shape of a letter ‘C’, or a rectangular shape. A covering member having a recess portion is provided above the light source.

  • Patent number: 10784419
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light emitting element; a sealing resin covering the light emitting element; and a light diffusing material contained in the sealing resin. When a difference in refractive index at 10° C. between the sealing resin and the light diffusing material is ?n1 and a difference in refractive index at 50° C. between the sealing resin and the light diffusing material is ?n2, a ratio of ?n2 to ?n1 is in a range of 95% to 105%.
