Patent ID: 7745818

Claim:
A light emitting device, comprising a light emitting element, and a resin layer that has been screen printed to coat said light emitting element, wherein said resin layer comprises a cured product in a dry state formed by curing a curable silicone resin composition, said curable silicone resin composition comprising: (i) an organopolysiloxane with a polystyrene equivalent weight average molecular weight of at least 5×10 3 , represented by an average composition formula (1) shown below: R 1 a (OX) b SiO (4−a−b)/2 (1) wherein, each R 1 represents, independently, an alkyl group, alkenyl group or aryl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, each X represents, independently, a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl group, alkenyl group, alkoxyalkyl group or acyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a represents a number within a range from 1.05 to 1.5, b represents a number that satisfies 0<b<2, and a value of a+b satisfies 1.05<a+b<2, (ii) a condensation catalyst selected from the group consisting of organometallic compounds containing a zinc, aluminium, titanium, tin, or cobalt atom, (iii) a solvent, and (iv) a finely powdered inorganic filler.
