  • Patent number: 11929452
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a light-emitting device includes: forming a cover, which comprises: sandwiching a fixing member by a molding device, injecting a light-transmissive material into a space defined in the molding device, and hardening or curing the injected light-transmissive material, wherein the formed cover comprises an upper portion, a sidewall, and a recess, the cover being integrated with the fixing member such that the fixing member projects from a part of an outer lateral surface of the sidewall; disposing a light-transmissive member on a light extraction surface of a light-emitting element to be disposed on a substrate; and disposing the cover so that the light-emitting element is housed in the recess. The fixing member is formed of a material that is deformable due to a pressing force generated in the event of an engagement with a counterpart member.

  • Patent number: 11575073
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes: a substrate; a light-emitting element disposed on the substrate; a light-transmissive member disposed on a light extraction surface of the light-emitting element; a cover that covers the light-emitting element with a gap between the cover and the light-emitting element, the cover including: an upper portion that is transmissive to light emitted from the light-emitting element, a sidewall extending along a peripheral edge of the upper portion and having an outer lateral surface, and a recess defined by the upper portion and the sidewall; and a fixing member arranged on at least a part of the outer lateral surface of the sidewall of the cover. The fixing member is formed of a material that is deformable due to a pressing force generated in the event of an engagement with a counterpart member.

  • Patent number: 11231149
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes: a substrate; a light-emitting element disposed on the substrate; a light-transmissive member disposed on a light extraction surface of the light-emitting element; and a cover that covers the light-emitting element with a gap between the cover and the light-emitting element, the cover including: an upper portion that is transmissive to light coming from the light-emitting element, a sidewall extending along a peripheral edge of the upper portion and having an outer lateral surface on which a projected portion is formed, and a recess defined by the upper portion and the sidewall. The projected portion is formed of a material that is deformable due to a pressing force generated in the event of an engagement with a counterpart member.
