Patent ID: 7655958

Claim:
A semiconductor light-emitting device comprising: a first lead frame having a first end portion; a second lead frame having a second end portion; a package including a resin molded portion located adjacent the first and second lead frames, the resin molded portion having a recessed portion with an opening, the respective first and second end portions of the first and second lead frames being exposed in the recessed portion; and a semiconductor light-emitting element located adjacent the package and having a light emission direction, the semiconductor light-emitting element being disposed adjacent the first lead frame that is exposed in the recessed portion, the semiconductor light-emitting element having at least one electrode which is connected to the second lead frame via a bonding wire, wherein the first lead frame includes a first protruding portion that protrudes outward from a first side surface of the resin-molded portion, the second lead frame includes a second protruding portion that protrudes outward from a second side surface of the resin-molded portion, the first and second lead frames are bent in a direction opposite to the light emission direction of the semiconductor light-emitting element, and another protruding portion of the first lead frame protrudes outward from at least one other side surface of the resin-molded portion, and the another protruding portion of the first lead frame which protrudes from the at least one other side surface of the resin-molded portion extends in close proximity to the at least one other side surface of the resin-molded portion, and wherein an end surface of the another protruding portion extends generally parallel to the at least one other side surface.
