Patent ID: 7816691

Claim:
A light-emitting diode having a flexible substrate comprising: a flexible substrate in the form of a sheet; a first electrode pattern and a second electrode pattern disposed on the flexible substrate and covering substantially entire upper and lower surfaces of the flexible substrate, each of the first and second electrode patterns comprising an upper electrode portion, a lower electrode portion, and a side electrode portion connected to the upper and lower electrode portions; an upper space formed between the upper electrode portions and a lower space formed between the lower electrode portions of the first and second electrode patterns; a light-emitting element mounted on the upper electrode portion of the first electrode pattern; and a light-transmitting sealing resin body that is disposed on the flexible substrate and seals the light-emitting element and the upper space between the upper electrode portions, the lower electrode portion of the first electrode pattern having a larger area than the lower electrode portion of the second electrode pattern, and the lower space between the lower electrode portions being positioned outside the sealing resin body in top plan view.
