Abstract

Alight emitting device includes: a light emitting element; a first substrate having an upper surface comprising an element placement region on which the light emitting element is disposed; a light-transmissive member with a sheet-like shape that covers the light emitting element, wherein an outer edge of a lower surface of the light-transmissive member contacts an outer side of the upper surface of the element placement region of the first substrate; and a first protrusion portion disposed along an outer edge of an upper surface of the light-transmissive member and extending across an upper surface of the first substrate and the upper surface of the light-transmissive member, wherein the first protrusion portion comprises a top portion located higher than an upper surface of the light emitting element.

Claims (36)

1. A light emitting device, comprising:

a light emitting element;

a first substrate having an upper surface comprising an element placement region on which the light emitting element is disposed;

a light-transmissive member with a sheet-like shape that covers the light emitting element, wherein an outer edge of a lower surface of the light-transmissive member contacts an outer side of the upper surface of the element placement region of the first substrate; and

a first protrusion portion disposed along an outer edge of an upper surface of the light-transmissive member and extending across an upper surface of the first substrate and the upper surface of the light-transmissive member, wherein the first protrusion portion comprises a top portion located higher than an upper surface of the light emitting element.

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

the first protrusion portion surrounds the element placement region.

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

the light-transmissive member has a rectangular shape in a plan view; and

the first protrusion portion is disposed in a rectangular frame-like shape in the plan view.

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

the light emitting device comprises a plurality of the light emitting elements aligned in rows in the element placement region.

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

the light emitting device comprises a plurality of the light emitting elements arranged in a matrix pattern forming an overall rectangular shape in the element placement region.

6. The light emitting element according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a reflective member that covers a lateral surface of the light emitting element such that the upper surface of the light emitting element is exposed from the reflective member; and

the light-transmissive member covers the light emitting element and the reflective member.

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

the top portion of the first protrusion portion is located at a position higher than a top portion of the light-transmissive member.

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

the first protrusion portion does not overlap with the light emitting element in a plan view.

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

the light-transmissive member contains a phosphor.

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

a thickness of the light-transmissive member is in a range of 20 μm to 100 μm.

11. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second substrate having an upper surface comprising a substrate placement region on which the first substrate is placed;

a wire that connects a first terminal disposed on an upper surface outward of the element placement region of the first substrate and a second terminal disposed on the upper surface outward of the substrate placement region of the second substrate; and

a covering member that covers the wire, wherein:

the covering member is disposed outward of the first protrusion portion and in contact with the first protrusion portion.

12. The light emitting device according to claim 11 , further comprising:

a second protrusion portion disposed on the upper surface of the second substrate and in contact with the covering member, wherein:

the second protrusion portion surrounds the first substrate, and

the covering member is disposed between the first protrusion portion and the second protrusion portion.

13. The light emitting device according to claim 10 , wherein:

the covering member comprises a white resin.
