ILLUMINATING APPARATUS

摘要

[PROBLEMS] To provide an illuminating apparatus which is thinly configured and capable of efficiently guiding light emitted from a light emitting element to surrounding areas. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A recessed section (3) is formed on a substrate (2), a bare chip (4) of a light emitting diode is mounted in the recessed section (3); and the bare chip (4) and a conductive section on the substrate (2) are connected by conductive lines (5, 5). On the surface of the substrate (2), a second reflecting member (12), a supporting member (13), and a first reflecting member (11) are assembled, and a core layer (15) is formed by having a liquid synthetic resin flow and cure between the bare chip (4) and the first reflecting member (11). An interval between the bare chip (4) and the first reflecting member (11) is constantly kept fixed by the supporting member (13). Light emitted from the bare chip (4) enters a core layer (15), is reflected by reflecting surfaces (11a, 12a), and is guided to the surrounding areas.
