Abstract

A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element with a pair of element electrodes as a first element electrode and a second element electrode positioned at the lower surface of the light-emitting element; a phosphor plate disposed on the upper surface of the light-emitting element; a first resin covering the lower surface and the peripheral side surface of the light-emitting element with the first element electrode and the second element electrode partly appearing from the first resin; and a second resin provided in the phosphor plate.

Claims (30)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a light-emitting element 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, and a pair of element electrodes as a first element electrode and a second element electrode that are positioned at the lower surface opposite to the upper surface of the light-emitting element;

a first resin covering the peripheral side surface and the lower surface of the light-emitting element with the first element electrode and the second element electrode of the light-emitting element partly appearing from the first resin;

a phosphor plate 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, and a groove positioned along one of the peripheral edges of the upper surface of the phosphor plate;

a second resin filled in the groove of the phosphor plate; and

the lower surface of the phosphor plate being adhered to the upper surface of the light-emitting element.

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

the first resin is white resin.

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

the second resin is white resin that is a same material as the first resin.

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

the second resin is made from a resin of different color from the first resin.

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

the groove is positioned adjacent to one of the pair of element electrodes of the light-emitting element in a top plan view.

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

wherein the groove passes through the phosphor plate from the upper surface to the lower surface of the phosphor plate.

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

wherein the groove is a line concave groove cut into the phosphor plate from the upper surface to a middle of the phosphor plate.

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

wherein the upper surface of the phosphor plate is larger than the upper surface of the light-emitting element.

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

wherein the peripheral side surface of the phosphor plate is flush with a peripheral side surface of the first resin.

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

wherein the groove is positioned above the first resin.

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

wherein the light-emitting element is a light-emitting diode element.

12. A lighting device comprising:

the light-emitting device according to claim 1 ;

a motherboard including a pair of electrodes as a first electrode and a second electrode;

the first element electrode of the light-emitting element being electrically connected to the first electrode of the motherboard and the second element electrode of the light-emitting element being electrically connected to the second electrode of the motherboard.
