Light emitting diode package

摘要

A side-view type light emitting diode package for emitting light, emitted from a light emitting diode chip, toward a side surface is disclosed. The side-view type light emitting diode package comprises a package body having an opening portion for exposing the light emitting diode chip in a light emitting direction; and a light-transmittable resin covering the light emitting diode chip, wherein at least a portion of an inner wall of the opening portion is formed with a step projection for partitioning the opening portion into upper and lower sections, and the lower section of the opening portion below the step projection is filled with the light-transmittable resin. Accordingly, the light-transmittable resin with the convex lens shape may be easily formed, so that the light emission efficiency thereof can be improved.
