Patent ID: 7593236

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: at least one light emitting element; a light emitting element mounting member on which said light emitting element is mounted; and a coating member which covers a surface of said light emitting element mounting member where said light emitting element is mounted, wherein: said light emitting element mounting member is provided with a depressed section at a position where said light emitting element is mounted, wherein only one light emitting element is mounted inside the depressed section; said coating member is provided with a through hole at a position corresponding to the depressed section; inner wall surfaces of (i) the depressed section and (ii) the through hole respectively form (i) a first reflection surface and (ii) a second reflection surface; and the second reflection surface has an angle with respect to an optical axis of said light emitting element smaller than an angle of said first reflection surface with respect to the optical axis of said light emitting element, said semiconductor light emitting device further comprising a lead terminal which supplies current to said light emitting element, the lead terminal being formed such that a part thereof is buried in said coating member, the lead terminal extending from an end of an opening of the depressed section in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of a length of the light emitting element mounting member.
