Patent ID: 7772597

Claim:
A light emitting diode lamp comprising: a cup portion including a mounting bottom surface and a reflective side surface that flares from the bottom surface; an LED chip mounted on the bottom surface of the cup portion and surrounded by the side surface; a transparent resin member for covering at least the LED chip in the cup portion; and a light-transmitting resin coating covering the LED within the transparent resin member and containing a fluorescent material; the LED chip including a first surface provided with a first electrode, and a second surface located opposite to the first surface and provided with a second electrode; the LED chip also including a lamination of a light emitting layer, an n-type semiconductor layer and a p-type semiconductor layer with the light emitting layer interposed between the n-type semiconductor layer and the p-type semiconductor layer, the lamination being located between the first and second electrodes; and the n-type semiconductor layer including an inclined side surface that tapers from a position adjacent the second electrode toward the first electrode, the inclined side surface being covered by the light-transmitting resin coating; wherein the n-type semiconductor layer also includes a vertical side surface extending from the inclined side surface toward the first electrode.
