Abstract

A light emitting device according to an embodiment includes a body including first and second side walls which correspond to each other, third and fourth side walls which have lengths longer than lengths of the first and second side walls, and a concave portion; a first lead frame under the concave portion and the third side wall; a second lead frame under the concave portion and the fourth side wall; a light emitting chip on at least one of the first and second lead frames; a molding member on the concave portion; a first recess portion recessed from the first side wall toward the second side wall and connected to a bottom of the body; and a second recess portion recessed from the second side wall toward the first side wall and connected to the bottom of the body.

Claims (65)

1. A light emitting device comprising:

a body including first and second side walls which are opposite to each other, third and fourth side walls which have lengths shorter than lengths of the first and second side walls, and a concave portion therein, wherein the third and fourth side wall are opposite to each other;

a first lead frame under the concave portion and the third side wall;

a second lead frame under the concave portion and the fourth side wall;

a light emitting chip on at least one of the first and second lead frames;

a molding member on the concave portion;

a first recess portion recessed from the first side wall toward the second side wall and connected to a bottom of the body;

a second recess portion recessed from the second side wall toward the first side wall and connected to the bottom of the body, and

a connecting frame disposed on a bottom of the concave portion,

wherein the first recess portion and the second recess portion are recessed from the bottom of the body,

wherein the first lead frame includes a first cavity lower than a bottom of the concave portion and a first lead part protruding more than the third side wall,

the second lead frame includes a second cavity lower than the bottom of the concave portion and a second lead part protruding more than the fourth side wall,

the light emitting chip includes a first light emitting chip disposed in the first cavity and a second light emitting chip disposed in the second cavity,

wherein the connecting frame has a middle connecting terminal that electrically connects the first light emitting chip to the second light emitting chip,

wherein a portion of the body is disposed between the first lead frame and the first recess portion,

wherein a portion of the body is disposed between the second lead frame and the second recess portion, and

wherein the first cavity is spaced apart from the second cavity.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second recess portions are opposite to each other with respect to at least one of the first and second cavities.

3. The light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a third recess portion spaced apart from the first recess portion under the first side wall of the body; and

a fourth recess portion spaced apart from the second recess portion under the second side wall of the body,

wherein the first and second recess portions are opposite to each other with respect to the first cavity, and

the third and fourth recess portions are opposite to each other with respect to the second cavity,

wherein the third recess portion and the fourth recess portion are recessed from the bottom of the body.

4. The light emitting device of claim 3 , wherein a distance between the first and third recess portions is larger than an interval between bottoms of the first and second cavities.

5. The light emitting device of claim 3 , further comprising:

a fifth recess portion connecting the first recess portion to the third recess portion under the first side wall and having a width larger than a width of the first or third recess.

6. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a width of at least one of the first and second recess portions is less than an interval between the bottoms of the first and second cavities, and

a depth of at least one of the first and second recess portions is less than a distance between a bottom of the first cavity and the first side wall.

7. The light emitting device of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the first and second recess portions has a width larger than an interval between bottoms of the first and second cavities.

8. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second side walls are inclined with respect to a bottom of the body, and

the first and second recess portions have a height less than a thickness of the first and second lead frames when measured from the bottom of the body.

9. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second side walls has an upper region inclined with respect to the bottom of the body and a lower region perpendicular to the bottom of the body, and

the first and second recess portions are recessed from the lower regions of the first and second side walls of the body.

10. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second side walls have a length at least two times longer than a length of the third and fourth side walls.

11. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second recess portions includes a convex portion.

12. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first recess portion is disposed corresponding to a side surface of the first cavity,

the second recess portion is disposed corresponding to a side surface of the second cavity, and

wherein the first and second recess portions are overlapped with the bottoms of the first and second cavities in a horizontal direction.

13. The light emitting device of claim 1 , the first and second recess portions are disposed corresponding to a gap part between the first and second lead frames.

14. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second recess portions has a depth in a range of 30 μm to 100 μm and a width in a range of 50 μm to 500 μm.

15. A light emitting device comprising:

a body including first and second side walls which correspond to each other, third and fourth side walls which have lengths shorter than lengths of the first and second side walls, and a concave portion therein;

a first lead frame under the concave portion;

a second lead frame under the concave portion;

a first light emitting chip on the first lead frame;

a second light emitting chip on the second lead frame;

a molding member on the concave portion;

a plurality of first recess portions recessed from the first side wall toward the second side wall;

a plurality of second recess portions recessed from the second side wall toward the first side wall, and

a connecting frame disposed on a bottom of the concave portion,

wherein a portion of the body is disposed between the first lead frame and the second lead frame and the plurality of first recess portions,

wherein a portion of the body is disposed between the first lead frame and the second lead frame and the plurality of second recess portions,

wherein the connecting frame has a middle connecting terminal that electrically connects the first light emitting chip to the second light emitting chip, and

wherein the plurality of first recess portions are spaced apart from each other by an interval larger than an interval between the first and second light emitting chips.

16. The light emitting device of claim 15 , wherein a length of the first and second side walls is at least three times longer than a length of the third and fourth side walls.

17. The light emitting device of claim 16 , wherein the first recess portions and the second recess portions are open from a bottom of the body.

18. The light emitting device of claim 16 , further comprising:

a third recess portion connected to the first recess portion.
