Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、発光ダイオードに係り、特にT字状に形成された側面発光タイプの発光ダイオードに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、携帯電話に代表される小型電子機器の液晶表示では、バックライト用の光源としてチップ型の発光ダイオードが利用されることが多い。このチップ型発光ダイオード1は、例えば図10に示したように、ガラスエポキシ基板2(以下、ガラエポ基板という)の上面に一対の電極3,4をパターン形成し、一方の電極3の上に導電性接着剤(図示せず)を用いて発光ダイオード素子6を固着すると共に、発光ダイオード素子6の上面電極と前記他方の電極4とをボンディングワイヤ7で接続し、このボンディングワイヤ7及び発光ダイオード素子6を透明樹脂体8によって封止した構造であり、プリント配線基板(以下PCBという)に表面実装されるタイプである。
【0003】
上記のチップ型発光ダイオード1を液晶表示のバックライト用の光源として利用する場合、例えば図11に示すように、チップ型発光ダイオード1をPCB9の裏面側に配置し、ガラエポ基板2の上記電極3,4を半田10で固定すると共に、PCB9に開設した孔11の中にチップ型発光ダイオード1の透明樹脂体8を差し込む方法が取られている。発光ダイオード素子6から上方向に発光した光は、PCB9の上面側に配置した導光板13の端部の反射面14に当たって略直角方向に屈折され、導光板13内に真っ直ぐ導かれることで、液晶表示の裏面側を照射する。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記のチップ型発光ダイオード1にあっては、反射面14で直角方向に屈曲した光だけが導光板13内に導かれることから、発光ダイオード素子6で発光しても有効に利用されない光が多く存在すると共に、反射面14でも光の損失が生じてしまうといった問題があった。
【0005】
そこで、本件出願人は、上記の問題を解決するために、特願2000−278087号において、図12及び図13に示すようなT字状の発光ダイオード16を提案した。このT字状の発光ダイオード16は、左右のベース部17a,17bと、このベース部17a,17bの中央から立ち上がる本体部18とで略T字状に形成され、ベース部17a,17bの上面をPCB19の裏面に固定すると共に、本体部18をPCB19に設けた円孔20から上面側に貫通させたものである。このような構成からなる発光ダイオード16では、発光部21がPCB19の上面側で横方向に発光するので、その発光した光をそのまま導光板14の端部に導くことができ、光損失が少なくて済むといった効果がある。
【0006】
ところで、上記提案したT字状の発光ダイオード16にあっては、集合回路基板上に成形した多数の発光ダイオードの集合体をX,Y方向にダイシングする工程で、ベース部17a,17bの上面に形成された外部接続用電極22a,22bの外側部が切断面となることから、該切断面に上方へ向かうバリ23が発生してしまう。そのために、PCB19に発光ダイオード16を実装する際、上記バリ23がベース部17a,17bの上面とPCB19の裏面との間の密着性を低下させてしまい、両者の間に塗布した半田が十分に働かないおそれがある他、発光ダイオード16の直立性も保たれないおそれがあった。
【0007】
そこで、本発明の目的は、T字状の発光ダイオードをPCB上に表面実装する場合に、発光ダイオードのベース部の上面とPCBの裏面との密着性を増し、その間に塗布される半田が確実に働くようにすると共に、PCB上での発光ダイオードの直立性を保つことである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、本発明の請求項1に係る発光ダイオードは、プリント配線基板の裏面に固着され、上面に一対の外部接続用電極が設けられたベース部と、このベース部の略中央部から立ち上がり、前記プリント配線基板に設けられた孔を裏面側から貫通する本体部とで略T字状に形成され、前記本体部には発光部を設けられ、この発光部と前記外部接続用電極とが電気的に接続されると共に発光部が樹脂封止され、且つベース部の上面に形成された外部接続用電極の外側部が切断面からなり、その外側部の切断角部に本体部の前面から後面に向かう凹み部が形成され、前記プリント配線基板の裏面にベース部の上面が密着するようにしたことを特徴とする。
【0009】
この発明によれば、発光ダイオードを略T字状に形成したので、発光ダイオードをPCBの裏面側で固定した場合でも発光ダイオードの発光部を表面側に露出させて側面発光することができる。その結果、液晶表示のバックライト用の光源として使用した場合には、従来のような光の反射を利用することなく発光部で発光した光の多くを導光板内に導けることになる。また、ベース部の上面に形成した外部接続用電極の外側部の角が凹んでいるので、ダイシング工程によって発生するバリの影響を受けずに済む。即ち、集合回路基板上に成形した多数の発光ダイオードの集合体をX,Y方向にダイシングする際、切断面に発生するバリは上記の凹みにできる為に、発光ダイオードのベース部の上面をPCBの裏面に固着する時にバリがPCBの裏面に当たるといったことがなく、ベース部の上面をPCBの裏面に密着させた状態で半田固定することができる。さらに、凹みに半田を溜めることもできるので、発光ダイオードの固着効果が一段と上がることにもなる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、添付図面に基づいて本発明に係る発光ダイオードの実施形態を詳細に説明する。図1及び図2に示した発光ダイオードにおいて、図1はPCBとの関係を示す発光ダイオード全体の外観図、図2は前記図1における発光ダイオードの正面図である。
【0011】
図1及び図2に示されるように、この実施形態に係る発光ダイオード30は、ガラエポ基板やBTレジン(Bismaleimide Triazine Resin)基板などを材料とし、PCB31の裏面側に固着される横長のベース部32a,32bと、このベース部32a,32bの略中央部分から立ち上がる本体部33とで略T字状に形成される。ベース部32a,32bの上面にはそれぞれの外部接続用電極34,35が全面に形成されているが、この外部接続用電極34,35の外側部の角に湾曲状の凹み部40a,40bが形成されている。この凹み部40a,40bは発光ダイオード30の成形工程の中で形成され、その内面にもメッキが施されて外部接続用電極34,35の一部を構成している。後述するダイシング工程では凹み部40a,40bの外側端で切断されることから、該外側端に上方に向かうバリ41が発生する。しかし、このバリ41の発生する位置は凹み部40a,40bの最下位であることから、バリ41が凹み部40a,40bからはみ出して外部接続用電極34,35の一般面まで突出することはない。なお、一方のベース部32aの前面側及び裏面側には発光ダイオード30の極性を示すカソードマーク42が印刷されている。
【0012】
一方、前記ベース部32a,32bの略中央部分から立ち上がる本体部33は直方体形状をしており、その左右側面には前記外部接続用電極34,35から連続して一体に延びる側面電極36,37が形成されている。また、左右の側面電極36,37からは、本体部33の前面側にカソード電極38とアノード電極39が延びており、結果的にこれらカソード電極38及びアノード電極39が前記側面電極36,37を介して外部接続用電極34,35にそれぞれ接続されることになる。
【0013】
前記本体部33の前面側には先に提案した発光ダイオード(特願2000−278087号)と同様の発光部が形成される。即ち、前記カソード電極38の上面には発光ダイオード素子45が載置され、その下面電極が導電性接着剤(図示せず)を介して固着されている。また、発光ダイオード素子45の上面電極はアノード電極39にボンディングワイヤ46で接続されている。そのため、外部接続用電極34,35からカソード電極38及びアノード電極39を介して発光ダイオード素子45に電流が供給され、発光ダイオード素子45の上面から全方向に向けて発光される。なお、上記発光ダイオード素子45の種類や発光色は何ら限定されるものではない。
【0014】
前記発光ダイオード素子45及びボンディングワイヤ46は、本体部33の前面側に設けられた樹脂封止体47によって被覆されている。この樹脂封止体47は、本体部33の前面側にブロック状に形成されるもので、前述の発光ダイオード素子45及びボンディングワイヤ46の他、カソード電極38及びアノード電極39を被覆している。樹脂封止体47の材料には例えば透光性を有するエポキシ系樹脂が用いられる。
【0015】
上記のように樹脂封止体47によって保護された発光ダイオード30は、図1及び図2に示したように、PCB31に開設された円孔43に本体部33を裏面側から貫通させ、円孔43の裏面周縁にベース部32a,32bの上面を密着させる。この時、ベース部32a,32bの上面に形成された外部接続用電極34,35の外側部には凹み部40a,40bが形成されているので、仮に凹み部40a,40bの外側端に上方に向かうバリ41が発生していたとしても、バリ41が凹み部40a,40bからはみ出して上方に突出することはない。その結果、円孔43の裏面にベース部32a,32bの上面を隙間なくぴったりと密着させることができる。そして、外部接続用電極34,35とPCB31の裏面に形成されたプリント配線49a,49bとの間に塗布した半田(図示せず)による両者の固着が確実となり、両者間で確実な導通が図られる。また、上記接着工程ではベース部32a,32bの外部接続用電極34,35に半田を薄く塗布し、リフロを通す時に半田を溶融させてPCB31の裏面に接着するので、両者は薄い半田膜を介して固着されているだけであるが、半田が溶融する際に凹み部40a,40bに半田を溜めることで、この溜り半田52が両者の接着に寄与して半田による固定が確実となる。
【0016】
上記のようにしてPCB31に固定された発光ダイオード30は、発光ダイオード素子45が横向きの状態でPCB31の表面に露出することになる。それ故、これを液晶表示のバックライト用の光源として利用する場合は、図3に示したように、PCB31の表面側に配設された導光板50の側端面51の近傍に発光ダイオード素子45を設定し、側端面51に対向させる。発光ダイオード素子45からは強い光が横方向に向けて発光されるが、その発光方向と導光板50の導光方向とが略一致するので、導光板50の側端面51に入射された光は屈曲することなく、そのまま水平方向に真っ直ぐに導かれる。このような方法では、導光板50への入射光量が増加すると共に、従来のような反射面を利用した光の屈曲がないので、光の損失が極めて少なくなる。
【0017】
次に、上記構成からなる表面実装型の発光ダイオード30の製造工程を説明する。図4は本発明に係る製造方法の全工程を示したもの、図5〜図9は個々の製造工程を順に示したものである。先ず、図4及び図5に示したように、両面に銅箔が形成されたガラエポ基板53にルーター(図示せず)を用いて四角孔54を開設した後、この四角孔54の短辺側の中央部に前記と同じルーターを用いて半円状の凹み部40を形成する(第1工程)。高圧洗浄によって切り子除去などを行なった後、四角孔54の内周面に銅メッキを施し、ガラエポ基板53の表面側と裏面側のとの導通性を確保する。なお、この時に凹み部40の内周面も一緒に銅メッキが施される(第2工程)。
【0018】
次に、ガラエポ基板53の両面に電極パターンのマスクとなる保護膜を被せ、図6に示すように、エッチングによって前述の外部接続用電極34,35、カソード電極38及びアノード電極39をパターン形成し、多数の発光ダイオードを集合させた集合回路基板55を形成する(第3工程)。電極パターンはエッチング以外に金属蒸着によっても形成することができる。
【0019】
次いで、図4及び図7に示したように、前記形成されたカソード電極38の上に導電性接着剤を介して発光ダイオード素子45を接着固定すると共に、発光ダイオード素子45の上面から延びるボンディングワイヤ46の先端をアノード電極39に接合する(第4工程)。
【0020】
次に、図4及び図8に示したように、前記集合回路基板55の上に金型56を被せる。この金型56は、発光ダイオード素子45及びボンディングワイヤ46の配設部分に対応して凹所57が形成されたものであり、集合回路基板55上に被せた時に外部接続用電極34,35及び四角孔54の上方を被覆する。このようにして被せた金型56の凹所57に無色透明のエポキシ樹脂58を充填し、発光ダイオード素子45及びボンディングワイヤ46を樹脂封止する。充填されたエポキシ樹脂58は硬化処理工程を経て硬化する(第5工程)。
【0021】
最後の工程では、図4及び図9に示したように、先ず前記の金型56を取り外す。この時、先の工程で凹所57に充填したエポキシ樹脂58が硬化してすだれ状の樹脂封止体47を形成し、この樹脂封止体47によって発光ダイオード素子45及びボンディングワイヤ46が封止される。次いで、集合回路基板55上に想定されたX軸(X1,X2,…Xn)とY軸(Y1,Y2,…Yn)方向に沿って集合回路基板55をダイシングし、チップ形状の発光ダイオードごとに分割する(第6工程)。Y軸上の切断面は、上記第1工程で四角孔54の短辺の中央部に形成された半円状の凹み部40の真ん中である。上述した一連の工程を経て、図1に示したようなT字状の発光ダイオード30が完成する。
【0022】
なお、本発明における凹み部40の形状は、上記の実施形態のものに限定されないのは勿論であり、外部接続用電極34,35の外側部の角を凹ませる形状であればよい。また、上記の実施形態では本発明の発光ダイオード30を液晶表示のバックライト用の光源として利用した場合について説明したが、これ以外にも利用できることは勿論である。
【0023】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明に係るT字状の発光ダイオードによれば、ベース部の外側部の角を凹ませ、ダイシング工程の際に発生するバリをこの凹みの中に抑えてしまったので、発光ダイオードをPCBに表面実装する場合に前記のバリによる固着不良等を回避することができる。即ち、発光ダイオードのベース部の上面とPCBの裏面との間にはバリが介在しないので両者間の密着性が増し、その間に塗布された半田が確実に働くようになると共に、発光ダイオードの直立性を保つことができた。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a light emitting diode, and more particularly to a side light emitting type light emitting diode formed in a T shape.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a liquid crystal display of a small electronic device typified by a mobile phone, a chip-type light emitting diode is often used as a light source for a backlight. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the chip-type light emitting diode 1 has a pair of electrodes 3 and 4 formed on the upper surface of a glass epoxy substrate 2 (hereinafter referred to as a glass-epoxy substrate) and is electrically conductive on one electrode 3. The light emitting diode element 6 is fixed using a bonding adhesive (not shown), and the upper electrode of the light emitting diode element 6 and the other electrode 4 are connected by a bonding wire 7, and the bonding wire 7 and the light emitting diode element are connected. 6 is sealed with a transparent resin body 8, and is a type that is surface-mounted on a printed wiring board (hereinafter referred to as PCB).
[0003]
When the above chip type light emitting diode 1 is used as a light source for a liquid crystal display backlight, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the chip type light emitting diode 1 is disposed on the back side of the PCB 9 and the electrode 3 of the glass epoxy substrate 2 is disposed. , 4 are fixed with solder 10, and the transparent resin body 8 of the chip type light emitting diode 1 is inserted into the hole 11 formed in the PCB 9. The light emitted upward from the light emitting diode element 6 strikes the reflecting surface 14 at the end of the light guide plate 13 disposed on the upper surface side of the PCB 9, is refracted in a substantially right angle direction, and is guided straight into the light guide plate 13. Irradiate the back side of the display.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-described chip-type light emitting diode 1, only the light bent in the right-angle direction at the reflecting surface 14 is guided into the light guide plate 13, so that the light that is not effectively used even if the light emitting diode element 6 emits light. In addition, there is a problem that light is lost even on the reflecting surface 14.
[0005]
In order to solve the above problem, the present applicant has proposed a T-shaped light emitting diode 16 as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 in Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-278087. The T-shaped light emitting diode 16 is formed in a substantially T shape by left and right base portions 17a and 17b and a main body portion 18 rising from the center of the base portions 17a and 17b, and the upper surfaces of the base portions 17a and 17b are formed. While fixing to the back surface of PCB19, the main-body part 18 is penetrated to the upper surface side from the circular hole 20 provided in PCB19. In the light emitting diode 16 having such a configuration, the light emitting portion 21 emits light laterally on the upper surface side of the PCB 19, so that the emitted light can be directly guided to the end portion of the light guide plate 14, and there is little light loss. It has the effect of being finished.
[0006]
By the way, in the T-shaped light emitting diode 16 proposed above, a large number of light emitting diodes formed on the collective circuit board are diced in the X and Y directions, and then formed on the upper surfaces of the base portions 17a and 17b. Since the outer portions of the formed external connection electrodes 22a and 22b become cut surfaces, burrs 23 are generated on the cut surfaces. Therefore, when the light emitting diode 16 is mounted on the PCB 19, the burr 23 reduces the adhesion between the upper surfaces of the base portions 17 a and 17 b and the back surface of the PCB 19, and the solder applied between the two is sufficient. In addition to the possibility of not working, the uprightness of the light emitting diode 16 may not be maintained.
[0007]
Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to increase the adhesion between the upper surface of the base portion of the light emitting diode and the back surface of the PCB when the T-shaped light emitting diode is surface-mounted on the PCB, and to ensure that the solder applied between them is ensured. And maintaining the uprightness of the light emitting diode on the PCB.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, a light-emitting diode according to claim 1 of the present invention is fixed to the back surface of a printed wiring board, and has a base portion provided with a pair of external connection electrodes on the top surface. Ri rising from the central portion, the formed a hole provided in the printed wiring board in the main body portion you through from the back side in a substantially T-shape, the said body portion provided with a light emitting portion, the light emitting portion And the external connection electrode are electrically connected, the light emitting portion is resin-sealed, and the outer portion of the external connection electrode formed on the upper surface of the base portion is a cut surface, and the outer portion is cut. A recess is formed at the corner portion from the front surface to the rear surface of the main body portion, and the upper surface of the base portion is in close contact with the back surface of the printed wiring board .
[0009]
According to the present invention, since the light emitting diode is formed in a substantially T shape, even when the light emitting diode is fixed on the back surface side of the PCB, the light emitting portion of the light emitting diode can be exposed to the front surface side to emit side light. As a result, when used as a light source for a backlight of a liquid crystal display, much of the light emitted from the light emitting portion can be guided into the light guide plate without using the conventional light reflection. Further, since the corners of the outer portion of the external connection electrode formed on the upper surface of the base portion are recessed, there is no need to be affected by burrs generated by the dicing process. That is, when dicing an assembly of a large number of light-emitting diodes molded on the collective circuit board in the X and Y directions, the burrs generated on the cut surface can be formed into the above-mentioned dents. The burrs do not hit the back surface of the PCB when it is fixed to the back surface of the PCB, and can be soldered in a state where the upper surface of the base portion is in close contact with the back surface of the PCB. Furthermore, since the solder can be stored in the recess, the fixing effect of the light emitting diode is further increased.
[0010]

The recesses 40a and 40b are formed during the molding process of the light emitting diode 30, and the inner surfaces thereof are plated to form part of the external connection electrodes 34 and 35. In a dicing process to be described later, since burrs 41 are cut at the outer ends of the recessed portions 40a and 40b, burrs 41 are generated at the outer ends. However, since the position where the burr 41 is generated is the lowest position of the recesses 40a and 40b, the burr 41 does not protrude from the recesses 40a and 40b and protrude to the general surfaces of the external connection electrodes 34 and 35. . A cathode mark 42 indicating the polarity of the light emitting diode 30 is printed on the front side and the back side of one base portion 32a.
[0012]
On the other hand, the main body portion 33 rising from the substantially central portion of the base portions 32a and 32b has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and side electrodes 36 and 37 extending integrally from the external connection electrodes 34 and 35 on the left and right side surfaces thereof. Is formed. Further, a cathode electrode 38 and an anode electrode 39 extend from the left and right side electrodes 36 and 37 to the front side of the main body 33, and as a result, the cathode electrode 38 and the anode electrode 39 connect the side electrodes 36 and 37. To be connected to the external connection electrodes 34 and 35, respectively.
[0013]
On the front side of the main body 33, a light emitting part similar to the previously proposed light emitting diode (Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-278087) is formed. That is, the light emitting diode element 45 is placed on the upper surface of the cathode electrode 38, and the lower surface electrode is fixed via a conductive adhesive (not shown). The upper surface electrode of the light emitting diode element 45 is connected to the anode electrode 39 by a bonding wire 46. Therefore, a current is supplied from the external connection electrodes 34 and 35 to the light emitting diode element 45 through the cathode electrode 38 and the anode electrode 39, and light is emitted in all directions from the upper surface of the light emitting diode element 45. In addition, the kind and luminescent color of the said light emitting diode element 45 are not limited at all.
[0014]
The light emitting diode element 45 and the bonding wire 46 are covered with a resin sealing body 47 provided on the front side of the main body 33. The resin sealing body 47 is formed in a block shape on the front surface side of the main body 33 and covers the cathode electrode 38 and the anode electrode 39 in addition to the light emitting diode element 45 and the bonding wire 46 described above. As the material of the resin sealing body 47, for example, an epoxy resin having translucency is used.
[0015]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the light emitting diode 30 protected by the resin sealing body 47 has a circular hole 43 formed in the PCB 31 penetrating the main body portion 33 from the back surface side. The upper surfaces of the base portions 32 a and 32 b are brought into close contact with the peripheral edge of the back surface of 43. At this time, since the recessed portions 40a and 40b are formed on the outer sides of the external connection electrodes 34 and 35 formed on the upper surfaces of the base portions 32a and 32b, the tentatively upper portions of the recessed portions 40a and 40b are disposed upward. Even if the burrs 41 are generated, the burrs 41 do not protrude from the recessed portions 40a and 40b and protrude upward. As a result, the upper surfaces of the base portions 32a and 32b can be closely adhered to the back surface of the circular hole 43 without any gap. Then, the soldering (not shown) applied between the external connection electrodes 34, 35 and the printed wirings 49a, 49b formed on the back surface of the PCB 31 is ensured, and reliable conduction between the two is ensured. It is done. In the bonding step, solder is thinly applied to the external connection electrodes 34 and 35 of the base portions 32a and 32b, and when passing through the reflow, the solder is melted and bonded to the back surface of the PCB 31. However, when the solder is melted, the solder is accumulated in the recesses 40a and 40b, so that the accumulated solder 52 contributes to the adhesion between the two and the fixing by the solder is ensured.
[0016]
The light-emitting diode 30 fixed to the PCB 31 as described above is exposed on the surface of the PCB 31 with the light-emitting diode element 45 in a horizontal state. Therefore, when this is used as a light source for a backlight of a liquid crystal display, as shown in FIG. 3, the light emitting diode element 45 is provided in the vicinity of the side end face 51 of the light guide plate 50 disposed on the surface side of the PCB 31. Is set to face the side end face 51. Strong light is emitted from the light emitting diode element 45 in the lateral direction, but the light emission direction and the light guide direction of the light guide plate 50 substantially coincide with each other, so that the light incident on the side end face 51 of the light guide plate 50 is It is guided straight in the horizontal direction without bending. In such a method, the amount of light incident on the light guide plate 50 is increased, and since there is no light bending using a reflection surface as in the prior art, light loss is extremely reduced.
[0017]
Next, a manufacturing process of the surface mount type light emitting diode 30 having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 4 shows all the steps of the manufacturing method according to the present invention, and FIGS. 5 to 9 show the individual manufacturing steps in order. First, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a square hole 54 is opened on a glass epoxy substrate 53 having copper foil formed on both sides using a router (not shown), and then the short side of the square hole 54. A semicircular recess 40 is formed in the central portion of the substrate using the same router as described above (first step). After performing facet removal by high-pressure cleaning, the inner peripheral surface of the square hole 54 is plated with copper to ensure electrical conductivity between the front surface side and the back surface side of the glass epoxy substrate 53. At this time, the inner peripheral surface of the recess 40 is also plated with copper (second step).
[0018]
Next, a protective film serving as an electrode pattern mask is placed on both surfaces of the glass epoxy substrate 53, and the external connection electrodes 34 and 35, the cathode electrode 38 and the anode electrode 39 are patterned by etching as shown in FIG. Then, an aggregate circuit board 55 in which a large number of light emitting diodes are aggregated is formed (third step). The electrode pattern can be formed by metal vapor deposition in addition to etching.
[0019]
Next, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the light emitting diode element 45 is bonded and fixed onto the formed cathode electrode 38 with a conductive adhesive, and the bonding wire extends from the upper surface of the light emitting diode element 45. The tip of 46 is joined to the anode electrode 39 (fourth step).
[0020]
Next, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, a mold 56 is placed on the collective circuit board 55. The mold 56 is formed with a recess 57 corresponding to the portion where the light emitting diode element 45 and the bonding wire 46 are disposed. When the mold 56 is placed on the collective circuit board 55, the external connection electrodes 34, 35 and The upper part of the square hole 54 is covered. A colorless and transparent epoxy resin 58 is filled in the recess 57 of the mold 56 thus covered, and the light emitting diode element 45 and the bonding wire 46 are sealed with resin. The filled epoxy resin 58 is cured through a curing process (fifth process).
[0021]
In the last step, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 9, the mold 56 is first removed. At this time, the epoxy resin 58 filled in the recess 57 in the previous step is cured to form an interdigital resin sealing body 47, and the light emitting diode element 45 and the bonding wire 46 are sealed by the resin sealing body 47. Is done. Next, the collective circuit board 55 is diced along the X-axis (X1, X2,... Xn) and Y-axis (Y1, Y2,. (6th process). The cut surface on the Y axis is in the middle of the semicircular recess 40 formed in the center of the short side of the square hole 54 in the first step. Through the series of steps described above, the T-shaped light emitting diode 30 as shown in FIG. 1 is completed.
[0022]
In addition, the shape of the recessed part 40 in this invention is not limited to the thing of said embodiment, Of course, what is necessary is just the shape which dents the corner | angular part of the external connection electrodes 34 and 35. FIG. In the above embodiment, the case where the light emitting diode 30 of the present invention is used as a light source for a backlight of a liquid crystal display has been described.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the T-shaped light emitting diode according to the present invention, the corners on the outer side of the base portion are recessed, and burrs generated during the dicing process are suppressed in the recesses. In the case where the light emitting diode is surface-mounted on the PCB, it is possible to avoid the fixing failure caused by the burr. That is, since no burr is interposed between the upper surface of the base portion of the light emitting diode and the back surface of the PCB, the adhesion between the two is increased, and the solder applied between them is surely worked, and the light emitting diode is upright. I was able to keep sex.
