Patent ID: 7345322

Claim:
A light emitting diode including a substrate having a pair of terminal electrodes, at least one light emitting diode element mounted on the substrate, and a frame disposed on the substrate around the at least one light emitting diode element, the light emitting diode comprising: a pair of holes, each of the holes disposed adjacent to each of the pair of terminal electrodes and penetrating the substrate, respectively; a pair of concave portions, each of the concave portions provided in a position of the frame facing each of the holes; and a pair of conductive elastic members, each of the members provided between the frame and the substrate, respectively; wherein each of the conductive elastic members includes a large diameter portion inserted in each of the concave portions of the frame and a small diameter portion which is inserted in each of the holes of the substrate and electrically connected to the large diameter portion, wherein each of the large diameter portions is electrically connected to each of the terminal electrodes of the substrate, and wherein each of the large diameter portions has one end portion which is in contact with a bottom surface of the concave portion and each of the small diameter portions has one end which is disposed to project from each of the holes in the substrate.
