Patent ID: 8476657

Claim:
A light-emitting device comprising: a base which is electrically insulating; a light-emitting element mounted on one side with respect to the base; a protection element mounted on the side and protecting the light-emitting element; a light-reflecting member which reflects light and which covers the protection element, the light-reflecting member including a flexible transparent member and a filler, wherein the filler is added in the transparent member before the transparent member is cured, the filler reflecting or scattering the light and having a particle diameter larger than a wavelength of light emitted by the light-emitting element; and a light-reflecting wall provided on the side, the light-reflecting wall being light-reflective and surrounding the light-emitting element; wherein: the light-reflecting wall has a recess at a portion thereof, and the protection element is disposed in the recess; the light-reflecting member has a surface continuous with the light-reflecting wall; the surface of the light-reflecting member and the light-reflecting wall form a light-reflecting surface together, the light-reflecting surface reflecting the light from the light-emitting element toward an outside of the light-emitting device; the light-reflecting surface is a continuous surface surrounding the light-emitting element; and, the light-emitting element is not covered with the light-reflecting member.
