Patent ID: 8400051

Claim:
A light-emitting device comprising: an elongated bar-shaped package with left and right ends, the package being formed such that a plurality of leads are formed integrally with a first resin with part of the leads exposed; a light-emitting element that is fixed onto at least one of the leads and that is electrically connected to at least one of the leads; and a second resin sealing the light-emitting element, wherein the leads are formed of metal, an entire bottom surface of the light-emitting element is covered with at least one of the leads, an entire bottom surface of the package is covered with the first resin, the first resin has a side wall that is integrally formed with a portion covering the bottom surface of the package and that is higher than upper surfaces of the leads, the first resin and the second resin are formed of optically transparent resin, the second resin that is filled to a to of the side wall of the first resin and that includes a fluorescent material having a larger specific gravity than that of the second resin, the leads have outer lead portions that are used for external connection and that protrude in a longitudinal direction of the package from the left and right ends wherein the fluorescent material is arranged to concentrate near the light emitting element, and is excited by part of light emitted by the light-emitting element so as to emit a color different from a color of the light emitted by the light-emitting element, and the side wall transmits part of light that is emitted by the light-emitting element and that enters the side wall and part of light emitted from the fluorescent material to the portion covering the bottom surface of the package.
