  • Patent number: 8129739
    Abstract: In a semiconductor light emitting device having a matrix of a plurality of bumps composed of one n-bump formed on an n-electrode layer and of a large number of p-bumps formed on p-electrode layers, the occurrence of a faulty junction after mounting can be suppressed by placement of the n-bump at center of the bump array, because the position at the center is most resistant to occurrence of stress after the mounting. Employment of such a configuration of bump array increases reliability of mounting thereof while improving uniformity of light emission intensity in the semiconductor light emitting device having an increased size.

  • Patent number: 7960748
    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device is provided so that an optical axis thereof is properly set parallel with the mounting board when the device is mounted on the mounting board. The semiconductor light emitting device can have a structure in that light can be incident on the light guide plate with high efficiency and uniform introduction into the light guide plate. A multi-piece substrate can include electrodes, a plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements, and a sealing resin for sealing them simultaneously. The thus obtained integrated substrate is cut into individual semiconductor light emitting device bodies. On one of the cut end faces, which serves as a surface to be mounted onto a mounting board, a light-shielding reflective film can be coated over an area from the edge of the light emission surface of the sealing resin to at least part of the substrate. On the other cut end face, the sealing resin can be covered with a light-shielding reflective film.
