Abstract
A semiconductor light emitting device includes a substrate a semiconductor light emitting element that is disposed on the substrate and that emits light along a direction substantially parallel to a main surface of the substrate a wavelength conversion element that is disposed on a light emitting side of the semiconductor light emitting element, that absorbs a portion of the light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting element, and that emits light having a wavelength different from that of the absorbed light; and a holding member that is disposed on the substrate and holds the wavelength conversion element.
Claims18
A semiconductor light emitting device, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a semiconductor light emitting element on a main surface of the substrate,
- wherein the semiconductor light emitting element is configured to emit a first light along a direction substantially parallel to the main surface of the substrate;
- a wavelength conversion element on a light emitting side of the semiconductor light emitting element,
- wherein the wavelength conversion element is configured to:
- absorb a portion of the first light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting element;
- and
- emit a second light having a wavelength different from that of the absorbed portion of the first light;
- a sealing member in contact with the semiconductor light emitting element, wherein
- the sealing member is configured to cover the semiconductor light emitting element,
- a portion of the sealing member that faces a light emitting face of the semiconductor light emitting element has a lens shape, and
- the portion of the sealing member having the lens shape is configured to collect the first light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting element toward the wavelength conversion element;
- a holding member on the main surface of the substrate, wherein the holding member is configured to hold the wavelength conversion element;
- and
- a pair of electrodes coupled to the holding member.
