Abstract:
1. A glass-encapsulated light-emitting diode, comprising: an LED bare chip; a pair of electrodes, each connected to said LED bare chip on an opposite side thereof; a pair of lead-in wires, each connected to one of said electrodes and thereby arranged for said LED bare chip to be interposed between said lead-in wires along an electrode direction; and a pair of metallic members, each defining a hole through the center thereof, and a glass encapsulation encapsulating said LED bare chip, said electrodes and at least a part of said lead-in wires, wherein: each said metallic member is separately secured at a respective end of said glass encapsulation and each said lead-in wire extends from said glass encapsulation, into said hole in a respective one of said metallic members, but not beyond the end of said metallic member distal from said glass encapsulation.
