Patent ID: 8690397

Claim:
An optical package element comprising: an optical functional element having a light emitting surface and a non-light emitting surface positioned opposite to the light emitting surface; a packaging resin having light transmitting properties in which the optical functional element is embedded and having a light transmitting surface; a first electrode formed on a portion of the light emitting surface of the optical functional element; a second electrode formed on the non-light emitting surface of the optical functional element; conductive members connected to the optical functional element embedded in the packaging resin, a first side of the conductive members being formed on portions of the first electrode and the light emitting surface of the optical functional element; and a conductive light blocking layer embedded in the packaging resin having light absorbing properties that is provided only on an upper surface a second side of the conductive members that is opposed to the first side, wherein the light blocking layer is made of a material that prevents reflection of light on a surface of at least one of the conductive members, wherein the light blocking layer and the conductive members extend across at least part of the light emitting surface of the optical functional element.
