Abstract

A light emitting device includes: a substrate having a base body and a plurality of wiring parts provided on at least one side of the base body; a first covering part that covers part of the wiring parts; a plurality of light emitting elements that are disposed on the wiring parts exposed from the first covering part; a second covering part that is disposed on the first covering part surrounding the light emitting elements and is formed from a material whose reflectivity is higher than that of the first covering part, and a resin component that seals the substrate and the light emitting elements, and is disposed in contact with the first covering part and the second covering part.

Claims (35)

1. A light emitting device comprising:

a substrate having a base body and a plurality of wiring parts provided on at least one side of the base body;

a first covering part that covers part of the wiring parts;

a plurality of light emitting elements that are disposed on regions of the wiring parts exposed from the first covering part;

a second covering part that is disposed on the first covering part surrounding the light emitting elements and is formed from a material whose reflectivity is higher than that of the first covering part; and

a resin component that seals the substrate and the light emitting elements, and is disposed in contact with the first covering part and the second covering part, the resin component including a first resin portion and a second resin portion, the first resin portion contacting at least a side surface of the light emitting elements, the first covering part, and the second covering part, an upper surface of the light emitting elements being exposed relative to the first resin portion.

2. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first covering part and the second covering part each contain a light reflecting material, and

the second covering part contains a larger amount of the light reflecting material than the first covering part.

3. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the second covering part is disposed as a plurality of islands on the substrate.

4. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

an outer edge of the resin component is disposed on the second covering part.

5. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

a thickness of the second covering part is the same as a thickness of the first covering part.

6. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

a total thickness of the substrate is 500 μm or less.

7. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the resin component is separated into a plurality of sections respectively corresponding to the light emitting elements, and

on an outside of each of the sections of the resin component, an upper surface of the second covering part is exposed from a corresponding one of the sections of the resin component, and an upper surface of the first covering part is exposed from the second covering part.

8. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light emitting elements are mounted on the regions of the wiring parts by flip-chip mounting.

9. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light emitting elements are disposed so as to extend over a groove between the wiring parts.

10. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first resin portion that covers the side surface of the light emitting elements has optical reflectivity.

11. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the base body has a conductive layer on a surface that is an opposite side from a surface where the light emitting elements are mounted, and a third covering part that covers the conductive layer.

12. The light emitting device according to claim 11 , wherein

the conductive layer is formed from the same material and in the same thickness as the wiring parts, and

the third covering part is formed from the same material and in the same thickness as the first covering part.

13. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

a total thickness of the substrate is 200 μm or less.

14. The light emitting device according to claim 13 , wherein

an edge of the second covering part facing a corresponding one of the light emitting elements is disposed farther away from the corresponding one of the light emitting elements than an edge of the first covering part facing the corresponding one of the light emitting element side.
