Abstract

A light-emitting device includes a rectangular substrate, a through-holes that is in a shape of a quarter of circle provided in two corners or four corners of the substrate, a pair of electrodes provided along short sides of the substrate and electrically connected to the through-hole(s) that is adjacently disposed to each of the electrodes. Each of the through-holes is covered by a cover that is in a shape of a quarter of circle.

Claims (27)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a substrate including an upper surface, a lower surface opposite to the upper surface, a peripheral side surface extending between peripheral edges of the upper surface and peripheral edges of the lower surface, a pair of electrodes as a first electrode and a second electrode that are disposed on the upper surface of the substrate; and

a light-emitting element including a pair of element electrodes as a first element electrode and a second element electrode and disposed on the second electrode of the substrate;

a pair of wires as a first wire and a second wire, the first wire electrically connecting the first electrode of the substrate and the first element electrode of the light-emitting element, and the second wire electrically connecting the second electrode of the substrate and the second element electrode of the light-emitting element;

a first through-hole in a shape that is a quarter of circle disposed at a first corner of the substrate and electrically connected to the first electrode of the substrate;

a second through-hole in a shape that is quarter of circle disposed at a second corner that is diagonally opposite to the first corner of the substrate and electrically connected to the second electrode of the substrate;

a first cover in a shape that is a quarter of circle disposed on the upper surface of the substrate and covering the first through-hole at the first corner of the substrate; and

a second cover in a shape that is a quarter of circle disposed on the upper surface of the substrate and covering the second through-hole at the second corner of the substrate.

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

a third through-hole in a shape that is a quarter of circle disposed at a third corner of the substrate and electrically connected to the first electrode of the substrate;

a fourth through-hole in a shape that is a quarter of circle disposed at a fourth corner diagonally opposite to the third corner of the substrate and electrically connected to the second electrode of the substrate;

a third cover in a shape that is a quarter of circle disposed on the upper surface of the substrate and covering the third through-hole disposed at the third corner of the substrate;

a fourth cover in a shape that is a quarter of circle disposed on the upper surface of the substrate and covering the fourth through-hole at the fourth corner of the substrate.

3. The light-emitting device according to claim 2 :

wherein the first wire is bonded from the first element electrode of the light-emitting element to the first electrode of the substrate at a position between the first cover and the third cover, and the second wire is bonded from the second element electrode of the light-emitting element and to the second electrode of the substrate at a position between the second cover and the fourth cover.

4. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 :

the first cover in a shape that is a quarter of circle disposed on the upper surface of the substrate at the first through-hole, and the first through-hole including an arc strip portion that is flush with an arc side of the first cover at an outer arc of the arc strip portion.

5. The light-emitting device according to claim 3 :

the peripheral surface of the substrate including a first side and a second side that is opposite to the first side, a third side and a fourth side that is opposite to the third side, and the first side and the second side being shorter than the third side and the fourth side and;

the first side of the substrate including a space free from the first cover and the third cover in a direction of bonding the first wire from the first element electrode to the first electrode of the substrate; and

the second side of the substrate including a space free from the second cover and the fourth cover in a direction of bonding the second wire from the second element electrode to the second electrode of the substrate.

6. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 :

the substrate further including a hollow positioned at a central area of the upper surface of the substrate.

7. The light-emitting device according to claim 6 :

the second electrode of the substrate extended in the hollow and the light-emitting element being disposed on the second electrode in the hollow.

8. The light-emitting device according to claim 6 :

wherein the hollow is in a shape of oval.
