Publication number: 20090283784Abstract: An exemplary side-view light emitting diode (LED) includes a substrate, a housing, a LED chip, a capsulation material and a reflecting layer. The housing and the substrate cooperatively form a receiving space therebetween. The LED chip is received in the receiving space and electrically connected with the substrate. The capsulation material is filled in the receiving space and encapsulates the LED chip in the housing. An indent is defined in a top portion of the capsulation material to cave a top surface of the capsulation material. The reflecting layer is spread on the top surface of the capsulation material. The light emitted from the LED chip upwardly towards the top surface of the capsulation material is reflected to a lateral side of the housing by the reflecting layer. The indent has a horizontal section with a size decreased along a top-to-bottom direction. The housing has a diameter gradually increased along the top-to-bottom direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2008Publication date: November 19, 2009Applicant: Foxconn Technology Co., Ltd.Inventor: CHIA-SHOU CHANG
