Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a light-emitting device of which a resin frame serving as a dam of a sealing resin is not readily deformed. The light-emitting device includes: a planar lead frame configured from first and second metal portions which are spaced apart from each other with an insulating resin interposed therebetween; light-emitting elements mounted on the first metal portion and electrically connected by wires to the first and second metal portions; a first resin frame disposed on the lead frame so as to enclose the light-emitting elements; a sealing resin containing a phosphor for converting the wavelength of light emitted from the light-emitting elements, the sealing resin being filled into a region on the lead frame enclosed by the first resin frame to seal the light-emitting elements; and a second resin frame being harder than the first resin frame and covering an outer surface of the first resin frame at an outer edge of the lead frame.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A light-emitting device comprising: a planar lead frame configured from first and second metal portions which are spaced apart from each other with an insulating resin interposed therebetween; light-emitting elements mounted on the first metal portion and electrically connected by wires to the first and second metal portions; a first resin frame disposed on the lead frame so as to enclose the light-emitting elements; a sealing resin containing a phosphor for converting a wavelength of light emitted from the light-emitting elements, the sealing resin being filled into a region on the lead frame enclosed by the first resin frame to seal the light-emitting elements; and a second resin frame being harder than the first resin frame and covering an outer surface of the first resin frame at an outer edge of the lead frame. 2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first resin frame has a Shore A hardness of 30 to 50, and the second resin frame has a Shore D hardness of 30 to 90. 3. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first resin frame is disposed so that a portion thereof immediately above the insulating resin straddles the first and second metal portions.
