Abstract

A light emitting device includes: a light-emitting element; a resin package including a plurality of leads including first and second leads, a first resin portion, a second resin portion extending around an element mounting region, and a third resin portion, wherein the plurality of leads and the first resin portion define a recess having an inner side-wall surface; a light-reflective member being located between the inner side-wall surface and the second resin portion inside the recess; and an encapsulant located in a region of the recess that is surrounded by the light-reflective member, the encapsulant covering the second resin portion and the light-emitting element. The second resin portion has a depression in a surface thereof. A part of the encapsulant is located inside the depression of the second resin portion.

Claims (63)

1. A light emitting device comprising:

a light-emitting element;

a resin package comprising:

a plurality of leads including a first lead and a second lead,

a first resin portion defining an outer lateral face of the resin package,

a second resin portion extending around an element mounting region in which the light emitting element is disposed, and

a third resin portion located between the first lead and the second lead,

wherein the plurality of leads and the first resin portion define a recess having an inner side-wall surface, and

wherein upper faces of the plurality of leads are partly located at a bottom of the recess;

a light-reflective member located between the inner side-wall surface and the second resin portion inside the recess; and

an encapsulant located in a region of the recess that is surrounded by the light-reflective member, the encapsulant covering the second resin portion and the light-emitting element;

wherein the first lead has a first groove in the upper face located at the bottom of the recess, the first groove extending at least partly around the element mounting region;

wherein at least a part of the second resin portion is disposed in the first groove;

wherein the second resin portion has a depression in a surface thereof; and

wherein a part of the encapsulant is located inside the depression of the second resin portion.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the depression extends along a direction that intersects a direction in which the second resin portion extends.

3. The light emitting device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a wire electrically connecting the light-emitting element and a part of the plurality of leads that is located outside the element mounting region;

wherein a part of the wire is located above the depression of the second resin portion.

4. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the resin package comprises a resin connecting portion that is located at the bottom of the recess and connects the first resin portion and the second resin portion.

5. The light emitting device of claim 4 , wherein the depression is located proximate a site at which the resin connecting portion and the second resin portion are connected.

6. A light emitting device comprising:

a light-emitting element;

a resin package comprising:

a plurality of leads including a first lead and a second lead,

a first resin portion defining an outer lateral face of the resin package,

a second resin portion extending around an element mounting portion in which the light-emitting element is disposed, and

a third resin portion located between the first lead and the second lead,

wherein the plurality of leads and the first resin portion define a recess having an inner side-wall surface, and

wherein upper faces of the plurality of leads are partly located at a bottom of the recess;

a light-reflective member located between the inner side-wall surface and the second resin portion inside the recess; and

an encapsulant located in a region of the recess that is surrounded by the light-reflective member, the encapsulant covering the second resin portion and the light-emitting element;

wherein the first lead has a first groove in the upper face located at the bottom of the recess, the first groove extending at least partly around the element mounting region;

wherein at least a part of the second resin portion is disposed in the first groove;

wherein the second resin portion has a protrusion at a surface thereof; and

wherein the protrusion is covered by the encapsulant.

7. The light emitting device of claim 6 , wherein the resin package comprises a resin connecting portion that is located at the bottom of the recess and connects the first resin portion and the second resin portion.

8. The light emitting device of claim 7 , wherein the protrusion is located proximate a site at which the resin connecting portion and the second resin portion are connected.

9. The light emitting device of claim 2 , wherein the resin package comprises a resin connecting portion that is located at the bottom of the recess and connects the first resin portion and the second resin portion.

10. The light emitting device of claim 9 , further comprising:

a wire electrically connecting the light-emitting element and a part of the plurality of leads that is located outside the element mounting region;

wherein the depression is located proximate a site at which the resin connecting portion and the second resin portion are connected; and

wherein a part of the wire is located above the depression of the second resin portion.

11. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the light-reflective member is separated from the light-emitting element.

12. The light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a protection element disposed on the upper face of the second lead.

13. The light emitting device of claim 12 , wherein the protection element is embedded in the light-reflective member.

14. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the second resin portion comprises a first section extending along a first direction parallel to the outer lateral face of the resin package in a top view.

15. The light emitting device of claim 14 , wherein the second resin portion further comprises a second section extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in a top view.

16. The light emitting device of claim 15 , wherein the second resin portion further comprises a circular arc section that connects between the first section and the second section in a top view.

17. The light emitting device of claim 13 , wherein:

the second resin portion comprises:

a first section extending along a first direction parallel to the outer lateral face of the resin package in a top view,

a second section extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in a top view, and

a circular arc section that connects between the first section and the second section in a top view.

18. The light emitting device of claim 17 , wherein the light-reflective member is separated from the light-emitting element.

19. The light emitting device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a protection element disposed on the upper face of the second lead, the protection element embedded in the light-reflective member;

wherein the light-reflective member is separated from the light-emitting element; and

wherein the second resin portion comprises a first section extending along a first direction parallel to the outer lateral face of the resin package in a top view.

20. The light emitting device of claim 4 , further comprising:

a protection element disposed on the upper face of the second lead, the protection element embedded in the light-reflective member;

wherein the light-reflective member is separated from the light-emitting element; and

wherein the second resin portion comprises a first section extending along a first direction parallel to the outer lateral face of the resin package in a top view.
