Patent ID: 8680546

Claim:
A light-emitting apparatus having at least one semiconductor device which emits light toward a higher position than a substrate and a plurality of external connection terminals, the light-emitting apparatus comprising: a light-reflecting layer, provided on the substrate, which reflects the light emitted by the at least one semiconductor device; and a covering layer which covers at least the light-reflecting layer and which transmits the light reflected by the light-reflecting layer, the at least one semiconductor device having a top surface and a bottom surface, being provided on the covering layer so that the bottom surface faces the covering layer and being electrically connected to the external connection terminals via connecting portions, the covering layer covering the entire bottom surface of the at least one semiconductor device, the at least one semiconductor device and the connecting portions being sealed with a sealing resin so as to be covered, wherein the light-reflecting layer is not connected to any of the external connection terminals, the covering layer covers a side surface of the light-reflecting layer, and the light-emitting apparatus comprises a plurality of semiconductor devices emitting light, and the light-reflecting layer is a single continuous layer that covers bottom surfaces of all of the semiconductor devices.
