Abstract:
1. A light emitting device comprising: at least two electrical leads, each provided with an end portion; an emission source, including a plurality of light emitting elements supported on an end portion of one of the electrical leads, each of the light emitting elements emitting light of a color that is different from the color of light emitted by the others of the plurality of light emitting elements; and a transmitting resin for transmitting at least parts of individual lights output from each of the plurality of light emitting elements without blending with lights output from the others of the plurality of light emitting elements, the emission source being potted into the transmitting resin together with the end portions, the transmitting resin having a conically shaped reflection surface for reflecting the lights output from the plurality of light emitting elements, at least one of the light emitting elements being located away from a central axis of the conically shaped reflection surface; whereby different colors of lights reflected from the reflection surface can be discerned from different viewing directions; wherein at least one of the light emitting elements is supported on a surface that is angularly disposed with respect to a surface on which another of the light emitting elements is supported; and wherein the end portion that supports the light emitting elements includes stepped surfaces, and each of the stepped surfaces supports a different one of the plurality of light emitting elements.
