Light emitting device and method for manufacturing the same

A light emitting device comprising:

• a metal substrate;
• an insulating base member having a through hole covering the metal substrate;
• a plurality of light emitting elements mounted inside the through hole of the insulating base member on the metal substrate;
• a wiring pattern formed on the insulating base member;
• a first sealing member layer covering the light emitting elements and the through hole;
• and
• externally connecting lands formed on the insulating base member,
• wherein the light emitting elements are electrically connected to the externally connecting lands through the wiring pattern.

A light emitting device comprising:

• a metal substrate;
• an insulating base member formed on the metal substrate;
• metal plates placed on the insulating base member so as to form a spaced portion therebetween;
• light emitting elements mounted on the metal plates;
• a first sealing member layer covering the light emitting elements;
• and
• externally connecting lands formed on the insulating base member,
• wherein the light emitting elements are electrically connected to the metal plates, and
• wherein the light emitting elements are electrically connected to the externally connecting lands through the metal plates.

A method for manufacturing a light emitting device, comprising:

• installing a plurality of light emitting elements on a substrate;
• electrically connecting the light emitting elements to external electrodes;
• forming a first sealing member layer containing fluorescent material in such a manner as to cover the light emitting elements;
• measuring a first chromaticity characteristic of the light emitting device after the formation of the first sealing member layer;
• and
• forming a second sealing member layer containing fluorescent material partially covering the first sealing member layer but not covering each of the plurality of light emitting elements so that the light emitting device has a second chromaticity characteristic.
