LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A light-emitting diode apparatus, comprising:
- a base including an upper surface, a lower surface opposite the upper surface and a peripheral edge side surface provided between the upper surface and the lower surface and having thermal conductivity;
an insulative substrate including an upper surface provided with electrodes, a lower surface opposite the upper surface and a pass-through hole provided to pass through the upper surface and the lower surface, the lower surface of the insulative substrate being attached to the upper surface of the base;
at least one base-mounting area that is exposed part of the upper surface of the base, exposed within the pass-through hole of the substrate;
a plurality of light-emitting diode elements mounted on the base-mounting area and electrically connected to the electrodes which are provided along opposite sides of the pass-through hole; and
a frame disposed to surround the base-mounting area and configured to form a light-emitting area.
