Description

本発明は、表示装置、照明器具、ディスプレイ、液晶ディスプレイのバックライト光源などに利用可能な発光装置に関し、特に、薄型/小型タイプで光の取り出し効率に優れ、歩留まり良く得られる発光装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a light-emitting device that can be used for a backlight device of a display device, a lighting fixture, a display, a liquid crystal display, and the like, and more particularly, to a light-emitting device that is thin / small and has excellent light extraction efficiency and high yield.

近年、電子機器の小型化・軽量化に伴い、それらに搭載される発光装置(発光ダイオード)、受光装置(CCD)等の光半導体装置も小型化されたものが種々開発されている。これらの発光装置は、例えば、絶縁基板の両面にそれぞれ形成された一対の金属導体パターンが形成された両面スルーホールプリント基板上に発光素子を載置し、ワイヤなどを用いて金属導体パターンと発光素子とを電気的に導通させるような構造を有している。   2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various electronic devices such as light-emitting devices (light-emitting diodes) and light-receiving devices (CCDs) mounted on them have been developed in association with downsizing and weight reduction of electronic devices. In these light emitting devices, for example, a light emitting element is placed on a double-sided through-hole printed board on which a pair of metal conductor patterns formed on both sides of an insulating substrate is formed, and light is emitted from the metal conductor pattern using a wire or the like. It has a structure for electrically connecting the element.

しかしながら、このような発光装置は、両面スルーホールプリント基板を使用することが必須条件であり、この両面スルーホールプリント基板が少なくとも0.1mm程度以上の厚みがあるため、表面実装型発光装置の徹底した薄型化を阻害する要因となっている。そのため、このようなプリント基板を使用しない構造の発光装置が開発されている(例えば特許文献1)。   However, it is essential for such a light-emitting device to use a double-sided through-hole printed circuit board, and since this double-sided through-hole printed circuit board has a thickness of at least about 0.1 mm, the surface-mount type light-emitting device is thoroughly implemented. This is a factor that hinders the reduction in thickness. Therefore, a light emitting device having a structure that does not use such a printed circuit board has been developed (for example, Patent Document 1).

特開2005−79329号公報JP 2005-79329 A

特許文献1に開示されている発光装置は、基板に蒸着などによって薄い金属膜を形成し、これを電極とし、発光素子とともに透光性樹脂で封止することで、従来の表面実装型の発光装置に比べて薄型化が可能となっている。   The light-emitting device disclosed in Patent Document 1 forms a thin metal film on a substrate by vapor deposition or the like, uses this as an electrode, and seals it with a light-transmitting resin together with a light-emitting element. Thinning is possible compared to the device.

しかしながら、透光性樹脂のみを用いているため、光が発光素子から下面方向に抜けてしまい、光の取り出し効率が低下しやすい。擂鉢状の金属膜を設けて光を反射させるような構造も開示されているが、このような金属膜を設けるには基板に凹凸を設ける必要がある。そうすると、発光装置が小型化されているためこの凹凸も極めて微細なものになり、加工が困難になるだけでなく、凹凸構造により基板の剥離時に破損しやすくなり歩留まりが低下するなどの問題が生じやすい。また、ディスプレイなどに用いる場合、透光性樹脂のみを用いているとコントラストが悪くなり易い。   However, since only the translucent resin is used, the light escapes from the light emitting element in the lower surface direction, and the light extraction efficiency tends to be lowered. Although a structure in which a mortar-shaped metal film is provided to reflect light is disclosed, in order to provide such a metal film, it is necessary to provide unevenness on the substrate. Then, since the light emitting device is miniaturized, the unevenness becomes extremely fine and not only is difficult to process, but the uneven structure easily breaks when the substrate is peeled off, resulting in a decrease in yield. Cheap. Moreover, when using for a display etc., when only translucent resin is used, contrast will deteriorate easily.

以上の目的を達成するため、本発明に記載の発光装置は、凹部を有する基体と、凹部の底面に露出される一対の導電部材と、一対の導電部材のいずれか一方の上に載置される台座部材と、台座部材の上に載置され、導電部材と電気的に接続される発光素子と、を有する発光装置であって、導電部材の下面は、基体の下面と同一面上にあり、基体は、凹部の底面の一対の導電部材の間に設けられる底面部を有し、台座部材は、底面部の上面よりも上側に位置する上面を有することを特徴とする。これにより、薄型で光取り出し効率が高く、配向特性が均一な発光装置を、歩留まり良く容易に得ることができる。
光取り出し効率が高く、薄型の発光装置を、容易に得ることができる。
In order to achieve the above object, a light-emitting device according to the present invention is placed on one of a base having a recess, a pair of conductive members exposed on the bottom surface of the recess, and a pair of conductive members. And a light emitting device mounted on the pedestal member and electrically connected to the conductive member, wherein the lower surface of the conductive member is flush with the lower surface of the substrate The base body has a bottom surface portion provided between the pair of conductive members on the bottom surface of the recess, and the base member has an upper surface located above the upper surface of the bottom surface portion. Accordingly, a light-emitting device that is thin, has high light extraction efficiency, and uniform alignment characteristics can be easily obtained with high yield.
A thin light-emitting device with high light extraction efficiency can be easily obtained.

Furthermore, in the following description, the same name and symbol indicate the same or the same members, and detailed description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

<実施の形態1>
本実施の形態の発光装置100を図1A、図1Bに示す。図1Aは発光装置100の斜視図であり、図1Bは図1AのA−A’断面における断面図である。
<Embodiment 1>
A light-emitting device 100 of this embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B. 1A is a perspective view of the light emitting device 100, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of FIG. 1A.

本実施の形態において、発光装置100は、発光素子102と、発光素子102が載置される台座部材104と、台座部材が載置される導電部材101と、導電部材101の外縁と接する基体103とを有している。基体103は底面部と側壁からなる凹部Sを有しており、凹部Sの底面において、一対の導電部材101の上面の一部が露出している。発光素子102は、導電部材101と、導電性ワイヤ105を介して電気的に接続されており、封止部材106がこれらの電子部品を被覆するよう、凹部S内に設けられている。そして、本発明において、導電部材101の下面は、基体103の下面と同一面上にあり、基体103は、凹部Sの底面の一対の導電部材101の間に設けられる底面部103aを有し、台座部材104は、底面部103aの上面よりも上側に位置する上面を有することを特徴とする。このようにすることで、発光素子102からの光が、底面部103aに当たりにくくすることができ、配向特性にムラを生じにくくすることができる。   In the present embodiment, the light emitting device 100 includes a light emitting element 102, a pedestal member 104 on which the light emitting element 102 is placed, a conductive member 101 on which the pedestal member is placed, and a base body 103 that is in contact with the outer edge of the conductive member 101. And have. The base 103 has a recess S composed of a bottom surface and a side wall, and a part of the upper surface of the pair of conductive members 101 is exposed at the bottom of the recess S. The light emitting element 102 is electrically connected to the conductive member 101 via the conductive wire 105, and the sealing member 106 is provided in the recess S so as to cover these electronic components. In the present invention, the lower surface of the conductive member 101 is on the same plane as the lower surface of the base 103, and the base 103 has a bottom surface portion 103a provided between the pair of conductive members 101 on the bottom surface of the recess S, The pedestal member 104 has a top surface located above the top surface of the bottom surface portion 103a. By doing in this way, the light from the light emitting element 102 can be made difficult to hit the bottom face portion 103a, and unevenness in alignment characteristics can be made difficult to occur.

(基体)
基体は、発光素子からの光を遮光させることで、上面への光取り出し効率を向上させるものであり、一対の導電部材を一体的に保持するものである。本実施の形態では、図1A、図1Bに示すように、基体103は、底面及び側壁からなる凹部Sを有しており、この凹部Sの底面には、基体103の底面部103aを介して設けられる導電部材101の上面の一部が露出している。基体103の裏面においても導電部材101の下面が露出しており、基体103の下面と導電部材101の下面とが同一面上に位置している。
(Substrate)
The base body improves light extraction efficiency to the upper surface by blocking light from the light emitting element, and integrally holds a pair of conductive members. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the base body 103 has a concave portion S having a bottom surface and a side wall, and the bottom surface of the concave portion S is interposed via a bottom surface portion 103a of the base body 103. A part of the upper surface of the provided conductive member 101 is exposed. The lower surface of the conductive member 101 is also exposed on the back surface of the base 103, and the lower surface of the base 103 and the lower surface of the conductive member 101 are located on the same plane.

基体の底面部103aは、凹部Sの底面内において、一対の導電部材101を絶縁させるためのものであり、図1Bに示すように少なくとも1カ所設けられるものである。この底面部103aに発光素子102からの光が直接当たりにくくするには、厚みの薄い底面部とするのが好ましいが、そうすると、製造時において後述する支持基板を剥離する際に導電部材101から脱落し易く、また、鍍金からなる導電部材が非常に薄いため、それよりも薄い底面部となると、強度が低下する。そのため、図1Bに示すように、導電部材101の上面よりも高さが高くなるような底面部103aとするのが好ましく、更に、導電部材101の上面に延在する延在部Xを有するのが好ましい。これにより、基体の底面部強度を向上し、製造時に破損しにくく歩留まりを向上させることができる。基体の底面部103aの上面は、台座部材104の上面部よりも下側に位置するようにするのが好ましく、発光素子102からの光が台座部材104によって遮られるような高さとするのが好ましい。   The bottom surface portion 103a of the base is for insulating the pair of conductive members 101 within the bottom surface of the recess S, and is provided at least at one location as shown in FIG. 1B. In order to prevent light from the light emitting element 102 from directly hitting the bottom surface portion 103a, it is preferable to use a thin bottom surface portion. However, when the support substrate described later is peeled off at the time of manufacture, the conductive member 101 falls off. In addition, since the conductive member made of the plating is very thin, the strength is lowered when the bottom surface is thinner than that. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1B, it is preferable that the bottom surface portion 103 a has a height higher than that of the upper surface of the conductive member 101, and further has an extending portion X that extends to the upper surface of the conductive member 101. Is preferred. As a result, the strength of the bottom surface of the substrate can be improved, and the yield can be improved because it is less likely to be damaged during manufacturing. The upper surface of the bottom surface portion 103a of the base is preferably positioned below the upper surface portion of the pedestal member 104, and preferably has a height such that light from the light emitting element 102 is blocked by the pedestal member 104. .

基体の側壁部103bは、凹部S内に載置される台座部材104とその上に載置される発光素子102とを合わせた高さよりも高くなるように、更に導電性ワイヤ105が突出しないような高さとする。また、側壁部103bは、内側の面が図1Bに示すように凹部の上側に行くに従って内径が大きくなるような傾斜面とするのが好ましく、傾斜面の角度は凹部の中心に対して対称となるような角度とするのが好ましい。   The side wall portion 103b of the base is further prevented from projecting the conductive wire 105 so as to be higher than the combined height of the base member 104 placed in the recess S and the light emitting element 102 placed thereon. With a height. Further, it is preferable that the side wall portion 103b has an inclined surface such that the inner surface increases toward the upper side of the recess as shown in FIG. 1B, and the angle of the inclined surface is symmetrical with respect to the center of the recess. It is preferable that the angle be such that

また、基体103は、導電部材101の外縁(側面)の全てと接するように設けているが、正負一対の電極として機能する導電部材101が、それぞれ電気的に絶縁となるようにそれらの間に形成させればよい。また、発光装置の側面から導電部材が露出するように形成してもよい。   The base 103 is provided so as to be in contact with all the outer edges (side surfaces) of the conductive member 101, but the conductive member 101 functioning as a pair of positive and negative electrodes is electrically insulated between them. What is necessary is just to form. Further, the conductive member may be formed to be exposed from the side surface of the light emitting device.

基体は、発光素子からの光が遮光可能なものであればよく、また、製造時に使用する支持基板との線膨張係数の差が小さいものが好ましい。さらに、絶縁性部材を用いるのが好ましい。好ましい材料としては、熱硬化性樹脂、熱可塑性樹脂などの樹脂を用いることができ、具体的にはエポキシ樹脂組成物、シリコーン樹脂組成物、シリコーン変性エポキシ樹脂などの変性エポキシ樹脂組成物、エポキシ変性シリコーン樹脂などの変性シリコーン樹脂組成物、ポリイミド樹脂組成物、変性ポリイミド樹脂組成物などをあげることができる。そして、これら樹脂中に充填材(フィラー)としてTiO、SiO、Al、MgO、MgCO、CaCO、Mg(OH)、Ca(OH)などの微粒子などを混入させることで光の透過率を調整し、発光素子からの光の約60%以上を遮光するよう、より好ましくは約90%を遮光するようにするのが好ましい。尚、ここでは基体によって光を反射するか、又は吸収するかどちらでもよいが、発光装置を照明などの用途に用いる場合は、より好ましくは反射させることによって遮光するのが好ましい。そのため、発光素子からの光に対する反射率が60%以上であるものが好ましく、より好ましくは90%以上反射するものが好ましい。例えば、TiOを用いる場合は、好ましくは10〜30wt%、より好ましくは15〜25wt%配合させるのがよい。 The substrate may be any substrate as long as light from the light emitting element can be shielded, and a substrate having a small difference in linear expansion coefficient from the support substrate used during production is preferable. Furthermore, it is preferable to use an insulating member. As preferable materials, resins such as thermosetting resins and thermoplastic resins can be used. Specifically, epoxy resin compositions, silicone resin compositions, modified epoxy resin compositions such as silicone-modified epoxy resins, and epoxy-modified resins. Examples thereof include a modified silicone resin composition such as a silicone resin, a polyimide resin composition, and a modified polyimide resin composition. Then, fine particles such as TiO 2 , SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , MgO, MgCO 3 , CaCO 3 , Mg (OH) 2 , and Ca (OH) 2 are mixed in these resins as fillers (fillers). It is preferable to adjust the light transmittance so that about 60% or more of the light from the light emitting element is shielded, more preferably about 90%. Here, either the light may be reflected or absorbed by the substrate, but when the light-emitting device is used for illumination or the like, it is more preferable to shield the light by reflecting it. Therefore, it is preferable that the reflectance with respect to the light from the light emitting element is 60% or more, more preferably 90% or more. For example, when TiO 2 is used, it is preferably added in an amount of 10 to 30 wt%, more preferably 15 to 25 wt%.

また、ディスプレイなどに用いる場合であって、コントラストを向上させたい場合は、発光素子からの光の吸収率が60%以上、より好ましくは90%以上吸収するものが好ましい。このような場合、充填材としては、アセチレンブラック、活性炭、黒鉛などのカーボンや、酸化鉄、二酸化マンガン、酸化コバルト、酸化モリブデンなどの遷移金属酸化物、もしくは有色有機顔料などを目的に応じて利用する事ができる。   In the case of use in a display or the like, in order to improve the contrast, it is preferable that the light absorption rate from the light emitting element is 60% or more, more preferably 90% or more. In such cases, as the filler, carbon such as acetylene black, activated carbon, graphite, transition metal oxides such as iron oxide, manganese dioxide, cobalt oxide, molybdenum oxide, or colored organic pigments are used depending on the purpose. I can do it.

上記のような各種充填材は、1種類のみ、或いは2種類以上を組み合わせて用いることができ、例えば、反射率を調整するための充填材と、後述のように線膨張係数を調整するための充填材とを併用するなどの用い方ができる。   The various fillers as described above can be used alone or in combination of two or more. For example, the filler for adjusting the reflectance and the linear expansion coefficient as described later can be used. It can be used in combination with fillers.

また、基体の線膨張係数は、個片化する前に除去(剥離)される支持基板の線膨張係数との差が小さくなるように制御するのが好ましい。好ましくは30%以下、より好ましくは10%以下の差とするのがよい。支持基板としてSUS板を用いる場合、線膨張係数の差は20ppm以下が好ましく、10ppm以下がより好ましい。この場合、充填材を70wt%以上、好ましくは85wt%以上配合させるのが好ましい。これにより、支持基板と基体との残留応力を制御(緩和)することができるため、個片化する前の発光装置の集合体の反りを少なくすることができる。反りを少なくすることで、導電性ワイヤの切断など内部損傷を低減し、また、個片化する際の位置ズレを抑制して歩留まりよく製造することができる。   Further, it is preferable to control the linear expansion coefficient of the substrate so that the difference from the linear expansion coefficient of the support substrate to be removed (peeled) before being separated into pieces is reduced. The difference is preferably 30% or less, more preferably 10% or less. When a SUS plate is used as the support substrate, the difference in coefficient of linear expansion is preferably 20 ppm or less, and more preferably 10 ppm or less. In this case, it is preferable to add 70 wt% or more, preferably 85 wt% or more of the filler. Thereby, since the residual stress between the support substrate and the base can be controlled (relaxed), the warpage of the assembly of the light emitting devices before being separated into pieces can be reduced. By reducing the warpage, internal damage such as cutting of the conductive wire can be reduced, and the positional deviation at the time of singulation can be suppressed, and manufacturing can be performed with high yield.

また、別の観点から、基体の線膨張係数は、導電部材の線膨張係数との差が小さくなるように制御するのが好ましい。好ましくは40%以下、より好ましくは20%以下の差とするのがよい。これにより、個片化後の発光装置において、導電部材と基体とが剥離するのを抑制し、信頼性に優れた発光装置とすることができる。   From another viewpoint, it is preferable to control the linear expansion coefficient of the base so that the difference from the linear expansion coefficient of the conductive member is small. The difference is preferably 40% or less, more preferably 20% or less. Thereby, in the light-emitting device after separation, it is possible to suppress the peeling of the conductive member and the substrate, and to obtain a light-emitting device with excellent reliability.

(導電部材)
導電部材は、発光素子に直接又は間接的に電気的に接続して外部から供給される電気を通電させるための一対の電極として機能させるものであり、少なくとも一方の導電部材は上面に台座部材が載置可能な大きさを有しており、絶縁部材(基体)を介して設けられる他方の導電部材は導電性ワイヤが接続可能な大きさを有している。導電部材の下面は、発光装置の外面を構成するよう露出されており、これによって外部と導通させることができる。
(Conductive member)
The conductive member functions as a pair of electrodes that are electrically connected directly or indirectly to the light emitting element to energize electricity supplied from the outside. At least one of the conductive members has a pedestal member on the upper surface. The other conductive member provided through the insulating member (base) has a size to which a conductive wire can be connected. The lower surface of the conductive member is exposed so as to form the outer surface of the light emitting device, and can thereby be electrically connected to the outside.

導電部材の膜厚については、10μm〜100μm程度が好ましく、特に45μm〜95μm以下程度が好ましい。このような薄い導電部材は、後述のように支持基板に鍍金することで得ることができる。上記範囲の厚さとすることで、比較的均一な膜厚の導電部材とすることができる。   The film thickness of the conductive member is preferably about 10 μm to 100 μm, and particularly preferably about 45 μm to 95 μm. Such a thin conductive member can be obtained by plating on a support substrate as described later. By setting it as the thickness of the said range, it can be set as the electrically-conductive member of a comparatively uniform film thickness.

本形態において、導電部材は、発光装置の裏面において外表面を形成するよう、すなわち、封止部材等で被覆されず外部(裏面)に露出されるように設けられている。導電部材とも上面視における形状、大きさ等については、発光装置の大きさや載置する発光素子等の数や大きさ等に応じて任意に選択することができる。好ましくは、図1Bに示すように、台座部材104と発光素子102が、凹部底面の略中央に載置されるように、すなわち、基体の底面部103aを、凹部底面の中央から離れた位置に設けるものである。これにより、基体の底面部103aに発光素子102からの光が直接当たりにくくし、台座部材104や基体の側壁部103bによって光を均一に反射させて、配向特性にムラのない光を放出させることができる。   In this embodiment, the conductive member is provided so as to form an outer surface on the back surface of the light emitting device, that is, to be exposed to the outside (back surface) without being covered with a sealing member or the like.

Preferably, as shown in FIG. 1B, the pedestal member 104 and the light emitting element 102 are placed substantially at the center of the bottom surface of the recess, that is, the bottom surface portion 103a of the base is positioned away from the center of the bottom surface of the recess. It is provided. This makes it difficult for light from the light emitting element 102 to directly hit the bottom surface portion 103a of the base, and the light is uniformly reflected by the pedestal member 104 and the side wall portion 103b of the base to emit light with no uneven alignment characteristics.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the outermost conductive member has high reflectivity and high gloss. Specifically, the reflectance in the visible region is preferably 70% or more.

Furthermore, a light receiving element or the like can be mounted together with the light emitting element or alone.

<製造方法>
以上のような発光装置は、以下のようにして得ることができる。
<Manufacturing method>
The light emitting device as described above can be obtained as follows.

まず、金属板などからなる支持基板を用意する。この支持基板は、導電部材を形成するために用いる板状又はシート状部材であり、個片化する前に除去するため、発光装置には具備されていない部材である。支持基板としては、SUS板などの導電性を有する金属板の他、ポリイミドなど絶縁性板にスパッタ法や蒸着法によって導電膜を形成したものを用いることができる。或いは、金属薄膜などを貼り付け可能な絶縁性の板状部材を用いることもできる。いずれにしても、工程の最終段階において除去する、すなわち、導電部材や基体から剥がすため、折り曲げ可能な部材を用いる必要があり、材料にもよるが膜厚10μm〜300μm程度の板状部材を用いるのが好ましい。具体的な材料としては、上記のSUS板の他、鉄、銅、銀、コバール、ニッケルなどの金属板や、金属薄膜などを貼り付け可能なポリイミドからなる樹脂シートなどが好ましい。   First, a support substrate made of a metal plate or the like is prepared. This support substrate is a plate-like or sheet-like member used for forming the conductive member, and is a member that is not provided in the light-emitting device because it is removed before being separated into individual pieces. As the support substrate, in addition to a conductive metal plate such as a SUS plate, a substrate in which a conductive film is formed by sputtering or vapor deposition on an insulating plate such as polyimide can be used. Alternatively, an insulating plate member to which a metal thin film or the like can be attached can be used. In any case, since it is removed at the final stage of the process, that is, it is peeled off from the conductive member or the substrate, it is necessary to use a bendable member. Is preferred. As a specific material, in addition to the above SUS plate, a metal plate such as iron, copper, silver, kovar, nickel, or a resin sheet made of polyimide to which a metal thin film can be attached is preferable.

この支持基板の表面に保護膜としてレジストを塗布する。このレジストの厚みによって後に形成される導電部材の厚みを調整することができる。尚、用いる保護膜(レジスト)はフォトリソグラフィによって形成されるレジストの場合、ポジ型、ネガ型のいずれを用いてもよい。   A resist is applied to the surface of the support substrate as a protective film. The thickness of the conductive member formed later can be adjusted by the thickness of the resist. The protective film (resist) to be used may be either a positive type or a negative type in the case of a resist formed by photolithography.

塗布したレジストを乾燥させた後、その上部に開口部を有するマスクを直接又は間接的に配置させて、紫外線を照射して露光する。その後、エッチング剤で処理することで開口部を有する保護膜が形成される。ここで、必要であれば酸活性処理などを行ってもよい。   After the applied resist is dried, a mask having an opening is directly or indirectly placed on the resist and exposed to ultraviolet rays for exposure. Then, the protective film which has an opening part is formed by processing with an etching agent. Here, if necessary, acid activation treatment or the like may be performed.

次いで、金属を用いて鍍金することで保護膜の開口部内に導電部材を形成させる。   Next, a conductive member is formed in the opening of the protective film by plating with metal.

次いで、導電部材の外縁に接するように基体を形成する。形成方法としては、樹脂を射出成形、トランスファモールド、圧縮成型等の方法を用いる事ができる。このとき、一対の導電部材の間に形成される基体の底面部の上面を、導電部材の上面と同一面、又はそれよりも上側になるようにする。更に、底面部の上面が、後述の台座部材の上面よりも下側に位置するようにする。特に、発光素子からの光が台座部材によって遮られるような高さとする。また、底面部は、導電部材の上面に延在するような延在部を形成するのが好ましい。延在部を形成する場合は、台座部材の配置位置まで延在しないようにする。基体が硬化した後、金型から取り出し、成型品を得ることができる。   Next, a base is formed so as to be in contact with the outer edge of the conductive member. As a forming method, a resin such as injection molding, transfer molding, compression molding or the like can be used. At this time, the upper surface of the bottom surface portion of the base formed between the pair of conductive members is set to be flush with or above the upper surface of the conductive member. Furthermore, the upper surface of the bottom surface portion is positioned below the upper surface of a pedestal member described later. In particular, the height is set such that light from the light emitting element is blocked by the base member. Moreover, it is preferable that the bottom portion forms an extending portion that extends to the top surface of the conductive member. When forming the extension part, it is made not to extend to the arrangement position of the base member. After the substrate is cured, it can be removed from the mold to obtain a molded product.

次いで、台座部材上に発光素子を載置したものを、導電部材の上に載置し、さらに発光素子と導電部材とを導電性ワイヤを用いて接続する。   Next, the light emitting element placed on the base member is placed on the conductive member, and the light emitting element and the conductive member are connected using a conductive wire.

その後、発光素子、導電性ワイヤを被覆するように封止部材をトランスファモールド、ポッティング、印刷等の方法によって形成する。   Thereafter, a sealing member is formed by a method such as transfer molding, potting or printing so as to cover the light emitting element and the conductive wire.

封止部材を硬化後に、支持基板を剥がして除去した後、個片化することで本発明の発光装置を得ることができる。   After the sealing member is cured, the support substrate is peeled off and removed, and then the light emitting device of the present invention can be obtained by dividing into pieces.
