Patent ID: 8680557

Claim:
A method for producing a light emitting diode device, provided with a base board including a terminal and a light emitting diode element flip mounted on the base board, comprising: the steps of preparing a phosphor layer formed in a sheet state; forming a light semiconductor layer on one surface in a thickness direction of the phosphor layer; forming an electrode portion on one surface in the thickness direction of the light semiconductor layer so as to be connected to the light semiconductor layer; forming an encapsulating resin layer containing a light reflecting component so as to cover the light semiconductor layer and the electrode portion; producing the light emitting diode element including the phosphor layer, the light semiconductor layer, and the electrode portion by partially removing the encapsulating resin layer so as to expose one surface in the thickness direction of the electrode portion; and allowing the light emitting diode element to be disposed in opposed relation to the base board in the thickness direction, and the electrode portion to be electrically connected to the terminal, so that the light emitting diode element is flip-chip mounted on the base board, wherein the light emitting diode element comprises: the phosphor layer formed in a sheet state, the light semiconductor layer formed on one surface in the thickness direction of the phosphor layer, the electrode portion formed on one surface in the thickness direction of the light semiconductor layer so as to be connected to the light semiconductor layer, and the encapsulating resin layer embedding the light semiconductor layer and the electrode portion and exposing only one surface in the thickness direction of the electrode portion, containing a light reflecting component, and wherein the one surface in the thickness direction of the encapsulating resin layer and the one surface in the thickness direction of the electrode portion are flush with each other.
