Abstract:
1. A semiconductor light-emitting device, comprising: an LED chip including a light-emitting surface configured to emit light in a light emitting direction and a chip electrode, and the chip electrode located adjacent the light-emitting surface; a phosphor layer located on the light-emitting surface, wherein a portion of the light-emitting surface is exposed between the chip electrode and the phosphor layer as viewed from the light emitting direction; a bonding wire connected to the chip electrode of the LED chip; a light-reflecting resin having a boundary surface disposed at least on the portion of the light-emitting surface exposed between the chip electrode and the phosphor layer, and the light-reflecting resin configured to reflect light emitted from the portion of the light-emitting surface from the boundary surface of the light-reflecting resin into the LED chip and therefore configured to prevent the LED chip from exhibiting leakage of light from the portion of the light-emitting surface that is exposed and which is not wavelength-converted by the phosphor layer, wherein light emitted from the LED chip when the device is operated is wavelength-converted by the phosphor layer and a different colored light is emitted from the device as compared to a color of light emitted by the LED chip.
