Abstract

A light-emitting device includes: a substrate; a light-emitting element mounted on the substrate, with a surface opposite to a light-emitting surface facing the substrate; a first resin encapsulant which covers the light-emitting element such that at least part of the light-emitting surface is exposed; and a second resin encapsulant provided on and in contact with the first resin encapsulant and the light-emitting surface. The first resin encapsulant contains a light reflective material. The second resin encapsulant has a function of converting first light emitted by the light-emitting element into second light of different wavelength, and a function of mixing the first light and the second light.

Claims (37)

1 . A light-emitting device, comprising:

a substrate;

a light-emitting element mounted on the substrate, with a surface opposite to a light-emitting surface facing the substrate;

a first resin encapsulant which covers the light-emitting element such that at least part of the light-emitting surface is exposed; and

a second resin encapsulant provided on and in contact with the first resin encapsulant and the light-emitting surface, wherein

the first resin encapsulant contains a light reflective material, and

the second resin encapsulant includes a first layer containing a light wavelength conversion material which absorbs first light and emits second light, and a transparent resin layer provided under the first layer and in contact with the light-emitting surface.

2 . The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein

the second resin encapsulant includes a second layer provided on the first layer and containing a light diffusing material which diffuses the first light and the second light.

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

a protection element mounted on the substrate, wherein

the first resin encapsulant covers an upper surface of the protection element.

4 . A light-emitting device, comprising:

a substrate;

a light-emitting element mounted on the substrate, with a surface opposite to a light-emitting surface facing the substrate;

a first resin encapsulant which covers the light-emitting element such that at least part of the light-emitting surface is exposed; and

a second resin encapsulant provided on and in contact with the first resin encapsulant and the light-emitting surface, wherein

the first resin encapsulant contains a light reflective material, and

the second resin encapsulant includes a first layer containing a light wavelength conversion material which absorbs first light and emits second light, and having a groove which surrounds the light-emitting element, and a light reflective layer containing a light reflective material and filling the groove.

5 . The light-emitting device of claim 4 , wherein

the second resin encapsulant includes a second layer provided on the first layer and containing a light diffusing material which diffuses the first light and the second light.

6 . The light-emitting device of claim 4 , wherein

the first layer contains a light diffusing material which diffuses the first light and the second light.

7 . A light-emitting device, comprising:

a substrate;

a light-emitting element mounted on the substrate, with a surface opposite to a light-emitting surface facing the substrate;

a first resin encapsulant which covers the light-emitting element such that at least part of the light-emitting surface is exposed; and

a second resin encapsulant provided on and in contact with the first resin encapsulant and the light-emitting surface, wherein

the first resin encapsulant contains a light reflective material, and

the second resin encapsulant includes a third layer containing a light wavelength conversion material which absorbs first light and emits second light, and a light diffusing material which diffuses the first light and the second light.

8 . The light-emitting device of claim 7 , wherein

the second resin encapsulant includes a transparent resin layer provided under the third layer and in contact with the light-emitting surface.

9 . The light-emitting device of claim 7 , wherein

the second resin encapsulant includes a fourth layer provided on the third layer and containing a light diffusing material.

10 . The light-emitting device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a protection element mounted on the substrate, wherein

the first resin encapsulant covers an upper surface of the protection element.
