Patent ID: 8735935

Claim:
A light emitting device, comprising: a package body having a first surface, a second surface opposing the first surface thereof and side surfaces disposed therebetween, the package body being formed of a curable resin; first and second external terminal blocks disposed in the package body, respectively, and having an electrical contact part, wherein each of the first and second external terminal blocks has a first surface being substantially coplanar with the first surface of the package body, a second surface opposing the first surface thereof and side surfaces disposed therebetween, at least one of the side surfaces being substantially coplanar with at least one of the side surfaces of the package body to have an exposed portion; a light emitting diode chip disposed between the first and second external terminal blocks in the package body and having an electrode surface where first and second electrodes are disposed and a main surface opposing the electrode surface, the electrode surface facing the second surface of the package body and the main surface being substantially coplanar with the first surface of the package body; and wires disposed in the package body and electrically connected to first and second electrodes of the light emitting diode chip to the electrical contact parts of the first and second external terminal blocks, respectively, wherein: the electrical contact part extends from the inside of the package body to the exposed portion of the side surface of each of the first and second external terminal blocks, and two adjacent side surfaces of at least one of the first and second external terminal blocks are exposed and substantially coplanar with two adjacent side surfaces of the package body, respectively.
