Patent ID: 7812364

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a semiconductor light emitting element, a lead frame including a plurality of inner leads having a placement face where said semiconductor light emitting element is mounted and an extraction electrode, and a plurality of outer leads for electrodes, and a mold resin portion to fasten said lead frame, each of said outer leads disposed along a first outer wall face of the mold resin portion perpendicular to a light-emitting plane of said semiconductor light emitting element, and along a second outer wall face of the mold resin portion parallel to and opposite to said light-emitting plane, each of said first and second outer wall faces of said mold resin portion constituting a mount face and including at least one outer lead for each of an anode and a cathode electrically connected to an anode electrode and a cathode electrode of a semiconductor light emitting element, the at least one outer lead for an anode associated with each of said first and second outer wall faces extending inwardly from a common end edge of said first and second outer wall faces, and the at least one outer lead for a cathode associated with each of said first and second outer wall faces extending inwardly from an end edge opposite to said common end edge.
