Abstract:
1. An injection apparatus comprising: a storage section containing a fluorescence-containing material comprising both resin and fluorescent material; and at least one equalization section configured to restrain disproportion in a mixture ratio of contaminants in the fluorescence-containing material, the at least one equalization section being a stirring section configured to stir the fluorescence-containing material in the injection apparatus, the stirring section being either propeller-shaped blades with a drive device or a dividing wall with a hole, said at least one equalization section comprising: a remaining amount detection section arranged such that light is applied to the fluorescence-containing material and an amount of reflected light from the fluorescence-containing material is detected by a light-receiving element so that a remaining amount of the fluorescence-containing material is detected; and a material injection amount adjustment section configured to adjust an amount of the fluorescence-containing material supplied to a shaping template in accordance with the remaining amount of fluorescence-containing material detected by the remaining amount detection section, wherein the injection apparatus is configured to (i) inject the fluorescence-containing material into the shaping template for screen printing and (ii) cooperate with a manufacturing apparatus configured to apply, by screen printing, the fluorescence-containing material onto a semiconductor light emitting element in a package of a semiconductor light emitting apparatus.
