LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE, PRODUCTION METHOD THEREFOR, AND DEVICE USING LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE

摘要

Provided is a light-emitting device that is characterized by: an area that is sandwiched by a pair of translucent insulat - or sheets that each comprise a translucent conductive layer or by a translucent insulator sheet that comprises a plurality of translucent conductor layers and a translucent insulator sheet that does not comprise a translucent conductor layer being filled with a translucent elastomer and one or more light-emitting diodes that each comprise a cathode electrode and an anode electrode that are each electrically connected to each of the translucent conductive layers; the translucent elastomer being present in at least part of the interface between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode of the light-emitting diode and the translucent conductive layer; and a recessed section on the surface of the anode electrode and the cathode electrode being filled with the translucent elastomer. The light-emitting device exhibits excellent bending resistance and thermal cycle characteristics during production and use thereof and makes it possible to maintain lighting against strong bending and a strong thermal load. Also provided is a production method for the light-emitting device that is characterized by vacuum pressing at a temperature that is equal to or slightly higher than the Vicat softening temperature of the translucent elastomer.
