SIDE-EMISSION TYPE LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE AND A BACKLIGHT UNIT USING THE LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE

摘要

A side-emission type light-emitting diode including: a first substrate having a concave formed in one of side surfaces of the first substrate, the concave including an inner surface which is configured to be a first reflecting surface; an LED-element-mounting board of thin plate shape, arranged on the lower surface of the first substrate, the board configured to close the concave at the lower surface of the first substrate; an LED element mounted on the board and arranged in the concave; and a light-transmitting resin filled in the concave and configured to seal the LED element.
