Patent ID: 8088635

Claim:
A production method of a light emitting device having a vertical geometry light emitting diode as a light source, comprising the steps of: preparing a vertical geometry light emitting diode package aggregate comprising a metal sheet having formed thereon a number of vertical geometry light emitting diode package units, each package unit comprising two or more substrate portions as parts of the metal sheet, which are separated by a slit, and a reflector having a penetrating opening and being adhered to said two or more substrate portions to cover parts of said slit such that the vertical geometry light emitting diode-mounting position is exposed in the inner side of the opening, and the end parts of said slit are exposed in the outer side of said reflector, and mounting a vertical geometry light emitting diode on one of said substrate portions of each package unit through a lower electrode thereof, and connecting an upper electrode of said vertical geometry light emitting diode to the substrate potion different from the substrate portion on which said vertical geometry light emitting diode is mounted, through a conductive connecting member, wherein the mounting and the connection are carried out by use of solder.
