Light-emitting unit and method for producing same as well as lead frame used for producing light-emitting unit
First Claim
1. A light-emitting unit of surface mount type composed of a light-emitting device, a first lead connected electrically with a first electrode of said light-emitting device, a second lead connected electrically with a second electrode of said light-emitting device, and a clear insulator for sealing said light-emitting device, a connecting section of said first electrode of the light-emitting device and said first lead, and a connecting section of said second electrode of the light-emitting device and said second lead wherein connecting terminal sections of said first lead and said second lead for connecting them with external devices, respectively, are placed on a surface of said insulator, comprising:
- an end of said first lead being molded into a cup-shaped portion having a flat bottom;
said light-emitting device being bonded to the bottom inside a reflecting section corresponding to said molded cup-shaped portion of said first lead; and
said reflecting section of said first lead comprising a first surface on which said light-emitting device is bonded and a second surface that is opposed to the first wherein said second surface is exposed without being covered with said insulator.
