Patent ID: 8017964

Claim:
A light emitting device, comprising: a light emitting element having at least two electrodes disposed at the side of the light output surface thereof; a base member having a recess and lead portions corresponding to the electrodes, the light emitting element being mounted on the base member and received in the recess, wherein the light output surface faces toward opening of the recess that becomes smaller while approaching the light output surface, and the electrodes are respectively in electrical connection with the lead portions that extend from the connection positions to outer edge of the base member for power connection, and a light reflecting portion is disposed in the recess and disposed directly above the light output surface of the light emitting element such that the light emitted from the light emitting element is reflected to walls of the recess to form a substantially collimated light beam, the recess being filled with sealing member to fix the light reflecting portion and the light emitting element to the base member; and a thermal conductor attached to a surface of the light emitting element opposite to the light output surface for heat dissipation.
