Patent ID: 7102283

Claim:
A 4-lead fall-color light emitting device comprising: first through third sub-lead frames respectively having first through third leads each made of a conductive material, and wire bonding pads each formed at one end of an associated one of the first through third leads; a main lead frame having a fourth lead made of a conductive material, and a reflecting cup formed at one end of the fourth lead while having a side wall and a bottom surface, the reflecting cup being formed with a reflecting surface at an inner surface of the side wall while having, at the bottom surface, an insulating portion, and a non-insulating portion electrically connected to the fourth lead; and first through third light emitting diodes (LEDs) of different light emitting wavelengths mounted on the bottom surface of the reflecting cup in the main lead frame, each of the LEDs having first and second electrodes of different characteristics; wherein the first electrode of the first LED and the first electrode of the second LED are commonly electrically connected to the first lead of the first sub-lead frame; wherein the second electrode of the second LED and the first electrode of the third LED are commonly electrically connected to the second lead of the second sub-lead frame; wherein the second electrode of the first LED is electrically connected to the fourth lead of the main lead frame; and wherein the second electrode of the third LED is electrically connected to the third lead of the third sub-lead frame.
