Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve efficiency to output light from a light emitting element by connecting an optical attachment of high refractive index in place of sealing the light emitting element with resin. SOLUTION: Both electrodes of the light emitting diode 2 are electrically connected to a circuit pattern 7 with wire 6. The central area of the attachment 5 having the semi-spherical external shape formed of glass material having high refractive index is connected to the light emitting surface of the light emitting diode 2 electrically connected as described above via resin 10 of high refractive index as an optical coupling means. The light emitted from a light emitting layer 3 of n=2.4 enters the attachment 5 of n=1.9 passing through the resin 10 of high refractive index of n=1.7. Since the high refractive index is maintained as described above, the light emitted from the light emitting layer 3 enters the attachment 5 with high efficiency and also enters almost perpendicularly a radiating surface of the attachment 5 formed semi-spherically with the light emitting layer 3 as the origin. Accordingly, the light is radiated to the external side with extremely high efficiency.
