Patent ID: 7687823

Claim:
A light-emitting apparatus comprising: a package comprising (a) a support having a central section and a peripheral section around the central section, the central section being raised upwardly from the peripheral section, providing a pedestal for supporting a light-emitting device, and (b) an insulating substrate having a central through-hole therein, an inner wall of the substrate that defines the central through-hole having an annular ledge protruding from a lower portion of the inner wall of the substrate with a side surface of the ledge being spaced apart from a peripheral surface of the pedestal, forming a recess, wherein the support is disposed in the central through-hole of the substrate such that an uppermost surface of the support is positioned higher than an upper surface of the ledge; a light-emitting device secured on the uppermost surface of the pedestal and having electrodes; electrically conductive members provided on a peripheral region of the package and electrically connected to the electrodes of the light-emitting device; a color conversion layer covering the light-emitting device, the uppermost surface of the support and the upper surface of the ledge; and a light-transmitting member formed in the package, sealing at least the light-emitting device together with the color conversion layer; wherein the pedestal has its side surface at least partially exposed from the color conversion layer, and the color conversion layer is separated at the recess.
