    Abstract: Reducing effects of thermal expansion in electronic components. An electronic device can include a support, such as a leadframe. An electronic component can be supported by the support. A first flexible layer can cover the electronic component. A second more rigid layer can cover the first layer. The first layer can be made from a material that is more flexible than the second layer thereby creating a mechanical buffer layer between the second layer and the electronic component such that the electronic component is protected from thermal expansion of the second portion caused by changes in temperature. The electronic component can be a laser. The first and second materials can be selected to disperse an optical emission from the optical transmitter.

  • Patent number: 8746932
    Abstract: In the production of a light emitting device, in which a plurality of light emitting element parts carrying LED elements are formed on a substrate, and the substrate is diced, generation of shaving dusts is suppressed at the time of the dicing, and breakage of the substrate during the production process can be prevented. In the process of forming a slit crossing a region for forming a light emitting element part in a metal substrate, a recess which serves as a resin reservoir can be formed so as to cross the slit. The slit can be filled with an insulating material, the recess can be filled with a resin, and they both can be cured. A light emitting element part can be formed in the region for forming the light emitting element part, the metal substrate can be cut into units comprising one or a plurality of the light emitting element parts, and can be mounted on a printed circuit board on which a pattern is formed.
