Supporting member and light emitting device using the supporting member

Abstract

A light emitting device includes a support member having a mounting surface. The support member includes an insulating member having top surface and a plurality of side surfaces, a first metal pattern disposed on the top surface of the insulating member, and a second metal pattern disposed on the side surface of the insulating member such that a side surface of the second metal pattern is continuous with a top surface of the first metal pattern. The light emitting device further includes a light emitting element mounted on the mounting surface at a location of the first metal pattern, and a bonding member that bonds the light emitting element to the mounting surface. The bonding member covers at least a portion of the first metal pattern and at least a portion of the second metal pattern.
