Abstract
A light emitting device includes an element container and a light emitting element. The element container has a first electrode lead, a second electrode lead, and a resin molded body integrated with the first electrode lead and the second electrode lead and includes an indentation at an outer surface, a wire covered with the resin molded body and extending from the first electrode lead to the indentation. The light emitting element is housed in the element container and electrically connected to the first electrode lead and the second electrode lead.
Claims20
A light emitting device comprising:
- a light emitting element to emit a light;
- an element container accommodating the light emitting element and having an inner surface facing the light emitting element and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface, the element container comprising:
- a first electrode lead electrically connected to the light emitting element to extend to the outer surface;
- a second electrode lead electrically connected to the light emitting element to extend to the outer surface;
- and
- a resin molded body integrated with the first electrode lead and the second electrode lead and having an indentation in the outer surface, the resin molded body being made of a first material;
- a sealing member made of a second material different from the first material and covering the light emitting element such that the light emitting element is provided between the sealing member and the first electrode lead;
- and
- a wire provided in the resin molded body and extending from the first electrode lead to the indentation such that the wire is not provided in the sealing member.
A light emitting device comprising:
- a light emitting element to emit a light;
- an element container accommodating the light emitting element and having an inner surface facing the light emitting element and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface, the element container comprising:
- a first electrode lead electrically connected to the light emitting element and comprising:
- an external terminal region provided on the outer surface;
- and
- an internal terminal region provided in the resin molded body;
- a second electrode lead electrically connected to the light emitting element;
- and
- a resin molded body integrated with the first electrode lead and the second electrode lead and comprising:
- a recess provided in the outer surface and separated from the first external terminal region of the first electrode lead;
- and
- a wire hole via which the recess communicates with the first internal terminal region of the first electrode lead;
- and
- a wire provided to pass through the wire hole to electrically connected to the light emitting element via the first internal terminal region.
