LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A light emitting device in which the bottom face of a cup portion has an opening, one electrode of the light emitting device is connected electrically with the cup portion and the other electrode is connected electrically with a lead brought into the inner space of the cup portion from the outside through the opening of the cup portion. Since each electrode of the light emitting device can be connected electrically with the lead without using a bonding wire, occurrence of shadow or unevenness in light reflecting the shape of the bonding wire is prevented and luminous efficiency is enhanced. When the lead is not brought into the inner space of the cup portion from the outside but the lead on the outside of the cup portion and the electrode of the light emitting device are connected electrically by means of a bonding wire brought inside through the opening of the cup portion, the light emitted from the light emitting device is prevented from being intercepted partially by the bonding wire and causing a shadow or unevenness in light, thereby enhancing luminous efficiency.
