Patent ID: 7719012

Claim:
A light-emitting device comprising: a light-emitting element; and a light-guiding member for guiding and emitting therethrough light emitted from the light-emitting element and incident thereon by reflecting or transmitting a portion of the incident light through the light-guiding member; wherein the light-emitting element comprises: a first semiconductor light-emitting element chip that has a peak wavelength in a short wavelength range of the visible spectrum and has a first electrode and a second electrode; a second semiconductor light-emitting element chip that has a peak wavelength in a long wavelength range of the visible spectrum and has a first electrode and a second electrode; a first lead member on which the first semiconductor light-emitting element chip is mounted, said first lead member electrically connected to the first electrode of the first semiconductor light-emitting element chip; a second lead member electrically connected to the second electrode of the first semiconductor light-emitting element chip; a third lead member on which the second semiconductor light-emitting element chip is mounted, said third lead member electrically connected to the first electrode of the second semiconductor light-emitting element chip; a fourth lead member electrically connected to the second electrode of the second semiconductor light-emitting element chip; and a molded member to which a portion of each of the first to fourth lead members is secured; wherein the first lead member has a lead terminal part for electrical connection to an outside electrode, a mounting part through which the first semiconductor light-emitting element chip is mounted on the first lead member, a metallic part for releasing heat generated from the first semiconductor light-emitting element chip, and a connection part for connection between the mounting part and the metallic part; wherein the first lead member is electrically conductive, further wherein the first lead member has the lead terminal part, the mounting part, the connection part, and the metallic part integrally formed with each other in this order, further wherein the lead terminal part and the metallic part oppositely extend outwards from the molded member, and the metallic part is exposed from the molded member and bent.
