Patent ID: 7560748

Claim:
A light emitting diode unit, comprising: a base made of a material having a high heat conductivity; a printed board including a predetermined conductive pattern and an opening, and disposed on the base; at least one light emitting diode chip disposed on the base within the opening of the printed board and electrically connected to the conductive pattern; a lens member including a lens section configured to collect light emitted from the light emitting diode chip and a case having a concave portion that covers the light emitting diode chip and is attached to the printed board to create a space between the light emitting diode chip and the lens member, the lens section being provided on an outer surface of the case opposite to the concave portion; and a sealing resin filling the space and configured to seal the light emitting diode chip, the case including at least two sealing resin-injection holes adapted to fill the space with the sealing resin.
