Abstract

The invention provides a light-emitting device 10 including a light-emitting element 12 and a substrate 11 where the light-emitting element 12 is arranged, characterized in that a housing part 28 housing the light-emitting element 12 and having a shape that is tapered upward from the substrate 11 and a metal frame 15 surrounding the light-emitting element 12 and including the side face 28 A of the housing part 28 made into a almost mirror-polished surface are provided on the substrate 11.

Claims (18)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a light-emitting element,

a substrate where the light-emitting element is arranged, and

a metal frame having an outer peripheral surface provided on the substrate and including a housing part for housing the light-emitting element, the housing part defined by side faces having a shape that is tapered upward from the substrate, wherein

the substrate includes a metal frame inserting part where at least part of the metal frame is inserted, and

a cutting part defines a gap through the metal frame extending between one side face of the metal frame housing part and the outer peripheral surface of the metal frame so as to allow the external shape of the metal frame to be deformable.

2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a reflecting member for reflecting light emitted from the light-emitting element, provided on the face of the housing part surrounding the light-emitting element.

3. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the metal frame includes a central base opening.

4. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the metal frame includes a bottom face adjacent to the substrate and a top face spaced from the substrate, and the cutting part defines a gap that extends between the metal frame bottom face and top face.

5. A light-emitting device comprising:

a light-emitting element,

a substrate where the light-emitting element is arranged, and

a metal frame provided on the substrate including a housing part for housing the light-emitting element and a central base opening, the housing part having a shape that is tapered upward from the substrate, wherein

the substrate includes a metal frame inserting part where at least part of the metal frame is inserted, and

a cutting part defines a gap through the metal frame that allows the external shape of the metal frame to be deformable,

wherein the metal frame includes an outer side, and the cutting part defines a gap that extends between the central base opening and the outer side.

6. The light-emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein the metal frame includes a bottom face adjacent to the substrate and a top face spaced from the substrate, and the cutting part defines a gap that extends between the metal frame bottom face and top face.
