DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the light emitting device of an embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First Embodiment
FIG. 1A is a perspective view showing a structure of a light emitting device 100 of the first embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 1B is a section view thereof.
The light emitting device of this the first embodiment comprises, light emitting elements 11a, 11c, a cup 17a that the light emitting elements 11a, 11c are provided on an end of, a lead 17 to which one electrode of the light emitting elements 11a, 11c, a lead 18 to which the other electrode of the light emitting elements 11a, 11c, and a transmitting resin 13 covering the light emitting elements 11a, 11c and end parts of the leads 17, 18.
Here, in particular, the light emitting device of the present first embodiment is characterized in that a conically shaped reflection surface 15 is provided on an upper surface of the transmitting resin 13, and the light emitting elements 11a, 11c are provided at separate positions from the central axis of the conically shaped reflection surface 15 in the cup 17a. 
In addition, in the present specification, the simply referred central axis represents the central axis of the reflection surface 15 as long as not being particularly declared.
Moreover, in the light emitting device of the first embodiment, as a more preferable embodiment, the light emitting elements 11a, 11c are disposed in the both sides of the central axis.
In the light emitting device of the first embodiment constituted as described above, the light emitting elements 11a, 11c are disposed away from the central axis of the reflection surface 15 and therefore, lights output from the light emitting elements 11a, 11c are input with being inclined to one side of the reflection surface 15 respectively, and the respective lights are reflected in the different direction corresponding to plane directions of incident positions in the reflection surface.
In particular, in the present first embodiment, the light emitting elements 11a, 11c are disposed symmetrically with respect to the central axis and therefore, a light output from the one light emitting element 11a is reflected in one side of the reflection surface 15 and output, and a light output from one light emitting element 11c is reflected in the opposite side to the reflection surface 15 and output.
Accordingly, in the light emitting device of the present first embodiment, a light of the light emitting element 11a can be observed in one direction, and a light of the light emitting element 11c can be observed in the opposite direction.
Moreover, in the light emitting device of the first embodiment, the intensities of lights input to the reflection surface 15 are different according to distance or direction from the light emitting element 11a or 11c to the reflection surface 15 and therefore, the intensities of lights are seen to be different according to the visual direction or angle.
From this, according to the light emitting device of the present first embodiment, a light emitting device having excellent decorating characteristics as a light source for illumination can be provided.
Each member of the light emitting device of the present first embodiment will now be described in more detail below.
(Light Emitting Element)
The light emitting element used herein comprises a semiconductor layer of GaAlN, ZnO, ZnS, ZnSe, SiC, GaP, GaAlAs, AlN, InN, AlInGaP, InGaN, GaN, AlInGaN, and the like formed as the light emitting layer.
(Light Transmitting Resin)
Shape of the light transmitting resin may be any one of column-shaped as shown in FIG. 1, quadratic prism-shaped as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, or triangular prism-shaped as shown in FIG. 4. Shape of the reflection surface formed on an upper surface of the light transmitting resin may be either a cone-shaped recess as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5, or a pyramid-shaped column as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
Examples of the light transmitting resin include an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, an acrylic resin, a polycarbonate resin, an amorphous polyolefin resin, a polystyrene resin, a norbornene-based resin, and a cycloolefin polymer (COP) are given and selected accordance with an use.
An epoxy resin is preferable because it is tack free, adhesion of dust can be disrupted. A silicone resin is hardly deteriorated by light, so that it is more preferable for a high output power light emitting device. Moreover, an acrylic resin has high transparency so that yellowing due to deterioration by light hardly occurs. Therefore, deterioration in output with time hardly occur and thus suitably used in the present invention. A polycarbonate resin has excellent impact resistance.
(Lead)
The lead is composed of at least two leads, and a light emitting element is mounted onto at least one of them. The end of the lead may be a cup-shaped defining a recess formed therein, or may be a plane-shaped. Further, the mounting position of the light emitting element is not limited to the end of the lead, and it may be a side surface thereof. Further, a step may be formed on an end of the lead, so that two or more light emitting elements can be mounted using the step.
Further, it is possible to employ a polyhedral shape having two or more mounting positions that have different angles.
A good electric conductive material such as copper, phosphor bronze, iron, and nickel can be used for the lead. Further, a noble metal plating using silver, gold, palladium, rhodium and the like can be applied to the surface of such good electric conductive materials.
(Reflection-Enhancing Member)
A reflection-enhancing member is formed on a reflection surface. When the reflection surface is a cone-shaped or pyramid-shaped recess, the reflection-enhancing member may be formed as a film on the inside surface of the recess, or formed so as to fill the cone-shaped or pyramid-shaped recess. Moreover, the reflection-enhancing member may also be formed either on the entire surface or a part of the surface of the cone-shaped or pyramid-shaped recess. When the reflection-enhancing member is formed partially thereon, it is preferable to form it on the lowest part of the cone-shaped or pyramid-shaped recess.
Examples of the material for the reflection-enhancing member include metals such as Ag, Al, Ni, Au, and Cu, white-color members, or metal oxide films such as SiO2/ZrO2 and SiO2/TiO2. Further, after forming a metal oxide film, a metal member or a white member such as SiO2/Ti and SiO2/white member may also be formed.
The reflectance of a metal member and the reflectance of a white member are independent from the wavelength from the light emitting element. Therefore, when either a metal member or a white member is used, the film thickness thereof is not needed to be controlled. Therefore, a minimum thickness that is sufficient to prevent light from transmitting is needed. Ag having a high reflectance or Al having a high durability is preferably used.
As for the white member, a white coating material (for example, barium sulfate), a white plating (for example, white alumite), and a white sheet (for example, polypropylene) are suitably used. When a metal oxide film is used, relationship between the wavelength and film thickness needs to be considered. Pairs of oxide films having alternate high refractive index and low refractive index are stacked to form an oxide film. Relationship between the thickness (d) and the wavelength (λ) is needed to satisfy the formula λ=4nd. When two or more different wavelengths are emitted from the light emitting element, all the light is needed to be reflected. In this case, two kinds of methods may be used, one is forming a reflection-enhancing member capable of exerting a mirror effect in a wide wavelength range, and another is forming a mirror corresponding to each wavelength.
The reflection-enhancing member that exerts a mirror effect through a wider wavelength range may be realized by widening the difference of refractive index between the oxide films in the pair.
A mirror corresponding to each wavelength can be realized by, for example, alternately stacking reflecting films that are adjusted to 400 nm condition and to 500 nm condition in series configuration, so as to reflect both a light of 400 nm and a light of 500 nm. This is because a light is permeable to a film unsuited to its reflecting condition.
Hereinafter, a method of the light emitting device of the present first embodiment will be described.
In the present method, first, the lead 17 and the lead 18 are held with, for example, a jig so that a predetermined relation of their positions is held.
Next, the light emitting elements 11a, 11c are fixed to predetermined positions on a bottom surface of the cup 17a of the lead 17 by die bonding, and predetermined lines are provided (FIG. 2A).
The fixation of the light emitting elements 11a, 11c into the cup is performed by, for example, a method of implementation with a curing resin or a method of implementation with a eutectic metal, and particularly, is not limited.
In addition, in the case of implementing the light emitting elements with a eutectic metal, a eutectic metal is formed on back surfaces of the light emitting elements by sputtering or like, and thereby the cup 17a of the lead.
On the other hand, in a mold 21 in which a conically-shaped convex portion corresponding to its bottom so that a conically shaped concave portion to be a reflection surface is formed, for example, a heat-curable transmitting resin is filled up by, for example, a dispenser 19 and so forth (FIG. 2B).
Then, the lead 17 in which the light emitting elements 11a, 11c are implemented on the bottom surface of the cup 17a and the lead 18 are inserted into the transmitting resin filled up in the mold 21 along with holding the relation of their positions (FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D) and the resin is cured and then taken out of the mold 21 (FIG. 2E).
Last, a reflection film is formed on the concave portion formed with respect to the convex portion of the mold 21 in the upper surface of the transmitting resin 13 and thereby, the light emitting device of the present first embodiment is accomplished.

Moreover, by controlling the angle of the mounting surfaces, the colors can also be mixed at a discretionary percentage. In addition, the mounting surfaces that are on a convex portion having a triangular conical shape are shown. However, the mounting surfaces are not limited thereto, and may be a polyangular conical shape such as a quadrangular conical shape. Furthermore, the mounting surfaces may have a concave portion having a conical shape as well as a convex shape.
Second Embodiment
As shown in FIG. 6A, a light emitting device 103 of the second embodiment according to the present invention is different from that of the first embodiment at the points that (1) three light emitting elements 11a, 11b, and 11c are triangularly disposed in the cup 17a of the lead 17 of the first embodiment and (2) reflection surfaces 313 having a triangular conical shape are formed in a transmitting resin and its outer shape is set to a triangular prism.
In addition, in the light emitting device 103 of the present the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, each of light emitting elements 11a, 11b, and 11c is disposed so as to face to each of three reflection surfaces 315a, 315b, and 315c that constitute the reflection surface 315 and that have different plane directions. Here, for example, the light emitting element 11a is a red light emitting element, and the light emitting element 11b is a green light emitting element, and the light emitting element 11c is a blue light emitting element.
In the light emitting device 103 of the second embodiment constituted as described above, a red light to be output from the red light emitting element 11a is reflected at the opposed reflection surface 315a, and a green light to be output from the green light emitting element 11b is reflected at the opposed reflection surface 315b, and a blue light to be output from the blue light emitting element 11a is reflected at the opposed reflection surface 315c, and the lights are output mainly from the outer surfaces 313a, 313b, and 313c, respectively.
By the light emitting element 103 of the second embodiment constituted as described above, lights having different colors to be output from the light emitting elements 11a, 11b, and 11c can be output and difference of emission colors according to the visual direction becomes clearer.
Moreover, by the emission device 103 of the present second embodiment, emission colors are complexly changed in angles by the reflection surfaces and angles by outer surfaces and thereby, decorating property can be more improved.
Modified Example 7
In the light emitting device 103 of the second embodiment, each of light emitting elements 11a, 11b, and 11c is disposed so as to face to each of three reflection surfaces 315a, 315b, and 315c, and a red light to be output from the red light emitting element 11a is reflected at the opposed reflection surface 315a, and a green light to be output from the green light emitting element 11b is reflected at the opposed reflection surface 315b, and a blue light to be output from the blue light emitting element 11a is reflected at the opposed reflection surface 315c. In Modified Example 7, the light emitting elements 11a, 11b, and 11c are disposed as follows.
That is, in the Modified Example 7, as shown in FIG. 6C, the red light emitting element 11a is disposed so as to face to a boundary part between the reflection surface 315a and the reflection surface 315b, and the green light emitting element 11b is disposed so as to face to a boundary part between the reflection surface 315b and the reflection surface 315c, the blue light emitting element 11c is disposed so as to face to a boundary part between the reflection surface 315c and the reflection surface 315a. 
By the above described method, a light output from the red light emitting element 11a separates and enters the reflection surface 315a and the reflection surface 315b and is reflected by the respective reflection surfaces 315a, 315b. 
A light output from the green light emitting element 11b separates and enters the reflection surface 315b and the reflection surface 315c and is reflected by the respective reflection surfaces 315b, 315c. A light output from the blue light emitting element 11c separates and enters the reflection surface 315c and the reflection surface 315a and is reflected by the respective reflection surfaces 315c, 315a.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6C, a purple light partaking of red is output in the side near the red light emitting element 11a, and a purple light partaking of blue is output in the side near the blue light emitting element 11c, and a medial purple light is output in the central part.
Moreover in the reflection surface 315b, the red light output from the red light emitting element 11a and the green light output from the green light emitting element 11b are input and, a light having a color of its color-mixed degree according to their positions is output as the reflected light.

As described above, in the light emitting device of the present example 7, a light emitting device by which lights having various colors that are different according to the visual direction can be output.
Third Embodiment
The light emitting device of the third embodiment according to the present invention has a different structure of the emission source in the cup 17a of the lead 17 from that of the light emitting device of the first embodiment. The other parts are the same with the first embodiment. That is, in the first embodiment, different emission parts are constituted by using a plurality of light emitting elements having different emission colors as the emission source. However, in the present third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, one light emitting element 11a is used and thereon, a plurality of phosphor layers having different emission colors are formed and thereby, a plurality of emission parts having different emission colors.
In addition, in FIG. 7 and FIG. 9A, as one example of the third embodiment, an example in which two phosphor layers 401a, 401b having different emission colors are formed on one light emitting element 11a. 
The light emitting device of this third embodiment is fabricated as follows.
First, as shown in FIG. 8A, the lead 17 and the lead 18 are held with, for example, a jig so that a predetermined relation of their positions is held, and the light emitting elements 11a is fixed to predetermined positions on a bottom surface of the cup 17a by die bonding, and predetermined lines are provided.
Next, a first resin containing a first phosphor and a second resin containing a second phosphor are applied to different positions on the light emitting elements 11 and the first resin and the second resin are cured and thereby, the phosphor layer 401a, 401b are formed.
Then, by the same method as the first embodiment, in a mold 21 in which a heat-curable transmitting resin is filled, the lead 17 and the lead 18 are inserted into the transmitting resin along with holding the predetermined relation of their positions, and the resin is cured and then taken out of the mold 21.
Last, the reflection film is formed on the concave portion.
The phosphor that is available for the light emitting device according to the present invention is possible as long as a light from the light emitting element(s) is converted to a light having a longer wavelength. However, the phosphor having high emission efficiency is preferable, and the inorganic phosphor having a high heat-resistance is more preferable. It is preferable that as the particle diameter of the inorganic phosphor, the central particle diameter is in the range of 6 μm to 50 μm, and more preferably, 15 μm to 30 μm. The phosphor having such a particle diameter has high absorbance and conversion efficiency of lights and its excitation wavelength width is large. The phosphor having a size smaller than 6 μm is relatively easy to form an aggregate, and thickens and is precipitated and therefore, is prone to have bad absorbance and conversion efficiency of lights and also to have a narrow width of excitation wavelength, as well as degrading transmittance of lights.
Hereinafter, modified examples of the second embodiment will be described.
In addition, in the following modified examples, as the reflection surface 15, a curved reflection surface is used. In the present invention, such a reflection surface may be used.
Moreover, in FIGS. 9A to 9D and FIGS. 10A to 10D that are referred to in the following description, the reflection surface is drawn nearer to the emission part than that of it fact so that the relation between the central axis of the reflection surface and the emission part is seen well.
Modified Example 8
In the light emitting device of Modified Example 8, as shown in FIG. 9B, the phosphor layers 401a, 401b are formed so that portions of the different phosphor layers overlap.
By the above described method, the two phosphor layers 401a, 401b are used and thereby, three emission parts having different emission colors are formed.
