CHIP TYPE LIGHT EMITTING DIODE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A chip type light emitting diode and method of manufacture the same are provided to be mounted together with other electronic components on a mother board in the same process at one time and to be very useful as a light source for a liquid crystal backlight. CONSTITUTION: The chip type light emitting diode has a base portion mounted to one surface side of the mother board, a body portion extending from the base portion and adapted to pass through a hole in the mother board, and a light emitting portion provided on the body portion to emit light on the other surface side of the mother board. The base portion is provided with a pair of external connection electrodes electrically connected to the light emitting portion. The light emitting portion is sealed with a resin sealant block. The method of manufacturing a chip type light emitting diode performs a plurality of steps to form a plurality of chip type light emitting diodes on a single collective circuit board and a final step of dividing the collective circuit board into individual chip type light emitting diodes.
