Abstract
There is provided a light emitting device including a light emitting element, a covering member for covering a side surface of the light emitting element, and a light-transmissive member disposed on upper surfaces in a light emitting direction of the light emitting element and the covering member and having an end face on substantially the same plane as an end face of the covering member, wherein the covering member has a recess portion or a convex portion on the upper surface, a light emitting surface of the light emitting element and an upper surface other than the recess portion or the convex portion of the covering member are arranged on substantially the same plane, and the light-transmissive member is provided in contact with the recess portion or the convex portion.
Claims18
A light emitting device comprising:
- a light emitting element having an upper light emitting surface and a side surface;
- a covering member covering the side surface of the light emitting element, the covering member having an upper surface and an outer side surface;
- and
- a light-transmissive member disposed on the upper surfaces of the light emitting element and the covering member, the light-transmissive member having a side surface on substantially the same plane as the outer side surface of the covering member,
- wherein the covering member has a recess portion or a convex portion on its upper surface,
- wherein the upper surfaces of the light emitting element and the covering member, other than the recess portion or the convex portion of the covering member, are arranged on substantially the same plane, and
- wherein the light-transmissive member is disposed in contact with the recess portion or the convex portion.
A light emitting device comprising:
- a light emitting element having an upper light emitting surface and a side surface;
- a covering member covering the side surface of the light emitting element such that the upper surface of the light emitting element is exposed from the covering member, the covering member having an upper surface and an outer side surface;
- a light-transmissive member disposed on the upper surfaces of the light emitting element and the covering member, the light-transmissive member having a side surface on substantially the same plane as the outer side surface of the covering member;
- and
- an adhesive layer bonding the covering member to the light-transmissive member,
- wherein the covering member has a recess portion on its upper surface,
- wherein the adhesive layer is disposed in at least the recess portion,
- wherein the upper surfaces of the light emitting element and the covering member, other than the recess portion of the covering member, are arranged on substantially the same plane, and
- wherein at least parts of the light-transmissive member and the covering member are bonded to each other through the adhesive layer disposed in the recess portion.
