Patent ID: 7671468

Claim:
A light emitting apparatus comprising: a multilayer chip varistor having a varistor element body comprising a varistor layer and a plurality of internal electrodes opposed to each other so as to interpose the varistor layer between the internal electrodes; a semiconductor light emitting element disposed on the multilayer chip varistor and electrically connected to the plurality of internal electrodes so as to be connected in parallel to the multilayer chip varistor; and a reflecting portion disposed between a surface of the multilayer chip varistor opposing the semiconductor light emitting element and a surface of the semiconductor light emitting element opposing the multilayer chip varistor and adapted to reflect light generated by the semiconductor light emitting element; wherein the reflecting portion has: a first reflecting layer for diffusely reflecting incident light, and a second reflecting layer disposed between the first reflecting layer and the multilayer chip varistor and adapted to specularly reflect incident light, wherein the first reflecting layer is a glass layer in which a metal is dispersed, and wherein the second reflecting layer is formed directly on the multilayer chip varistor.
