Patent ID: 8759867

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device, comprising: a package constituted by the lamination of a first insulating layer having a pair of positive and negative conductive wires formed on its upper face, an inner-layer wire below the first insulating layer, and a second insulating layer below the inner-layer wire; a semiconductor light emitting element disposed within the package; and a sealing member that covers the semiconductor light emitting element, a flange connected to an outer edge of the sealing member, the flange having a thickness with the sealing member having a greater thickness than the thickness of the flange, wherein part of the conductive wires is formed extending in the outer edge direction of the sealing member from directly beneath the semiconductor light emitting element, on the upper face of the first insulating layer, and is connected to the inner-layer wire via a conductive wire disposed in the thickness direction of the package, and the inner-layer wire is disposed so as to be spaced apart from an outer periphery of the semiconductor light emitting element as viewed in a cross-section of the package, the inner-layer wire being disposed on the outside of the outer edge of the sealing member below the flange as viewed in the cross-section of the package.
