Surface-mounted multi-colored light emitting device

A light emitting device, comprising:

• a package for surface mounting, the package comprising a plurality of leads and a dark-colored resin securing at least some of the plurality of leads, three leads of the plurality of leads respectively including an exposed region exposed from the dark-colored resin at a primary surface of the package, with a first recess, a second recess, and a third recess each being defined in the exposed region of a respective one of the three leads;
• a plurality of light emitting elements, said plurality of light emitting elements including a first light emitting element disposed in the first recess and configured to emit first light, a second light emitting element disposed in the second recess and configured to emit second light having a wavelength shorter than a wavelength of the first light, and a third light emitting element disposed in the third recess and configured to emit third light having a wavelength shorter than a wavelength of the second light;
• and
• a mold resin sealing the plurality of light emitting elements, wherein
• the mold resin includes a base portion covering the primary surface of the package and the plurality of light emitting elements, and a plurality of lens portions formed integrally with the base portion,
• each of the plurality of lens portions has a convex shape protruding upwardly from the base portion,
• wherein in a plan view, the plurality of lens portions include a first lens portion overlapping with the first recess and the first light emitting element, a second lens portion overlapping with the second recess and the second light emitting element, and
• a third lens portion overlapping with the third recess and the third light emitting element,
• wherein
• the first lens portion is colored in a similar color as the first light, the second lens portion is colored in a similar color as the second light, and the third lens portion is colored in a similar color as the third light.
