Abstract:
1. A side-view light emitting diode having a light emitting diode window opened to a side to emit light sideward, the light emitting diode comprising: a pair of lead frames each acting as a terminal; a light emitting diode chip attached to a portion of the lead frame and electrically connected thereto; a package body housing the lead frames and having a concave formed around the light emitting chip, the concave acting as the light emitting diode window and the package body electrically insulating the lead frames from each other; a high reflective metal layer formed integrally on an inner wall of the concave; an intermediate layer between the high reflective metal layer and the inner wall of the concave; a transparent encapsulant filled in the concave to encapsulate the LED chip, while forming the light emitting diode window; and an insulating layer formed on a predetermined area of the lead frames so that the lead frames are insulated from the high reflective metal layer.
