Patent ID: 7476913

Claim:
A light emitting device, comprising: a light emitting element in which plural types of semiconductor layers engaged in performing light emission are multilayered on a principal surface of a substrate, and in which a first electrode and a second electrode are provided on said principal-surface side of said substrate on which said semiconductor layers are multilayered, a first lead electrically connected to said first electrode of said light emitting element, a second lead electrically connected to said second electrode of said light emitting element, and a transparent resin for sealing surroundings of said light emitting element, a reflection mirror portion being provided on either of said first lead and said second lead and in said surroundings of said light emitting element, said reflection mirror portion extending upwardly from a connection surface with either of said electrodes of said light emitting element, and becoming more distant from center of said light emitting element as moving away from said connection surface, wherein a portion of each of said first lead and said second lead is bending-formed onto said connection-surface side, said portion being connected to each of said first electrode and said second electrode of said light emitting element, said first electrode and said second electrode of said light emitting element being faced to said first lead and said second lead respectively, and being electrically connected via adhesion members to said first lead and said second lead respectively, said reflection mirror portion being provided by bending a cup portion so that said light emitting element will be contained inside an inner space of said cup portion, bottom surface of said cup portion being configured to have an opening, said cup portion being provided by forming an end portion on said opposite side to said portion of either of said first lead and said second lead, said portion being connected to either of said electrodes of said light emitting element.
