Light-emitting apparatus and method of producing the same
First Claim
1. A light-emitting apparatus comprising:
- a package comprising (a) a support having a central section and a peripheral section around the central section, the central section being raised upwardly from the peripheral section, providing a pedestal for supporting a light-emitting device, and (b) an insulating substrate having a central through-hole therein, an inner wall of the substrate that defines the central through-hole having an annular ledge protruding from a lower portion of the inner wall of the substrate with a side surface of the ledge being spaced apart from a peripheral surface of the pedestal, forming a recess, wherein the support is disposed in the central through-hole of the substrate such that an uppermost surface of the support is positioned higher than an upper surface of the ledge;
a light-emitting device secured on the uppermost surface of the pedestal and having electrodes;
electrically conductive members provided on a peripheral region of the package and electrically connected to the electrodes of the light-emitting device;
a color conversion layer covering the light-emitting device, the uppermost surface of the support and the upper surface of the ledge; and
a light-transmitting member formed in the package, sealing at least the light-emitting device together with the color conversion layer;
wherein the pedestal has its side surface at least partially exposed from the color conversion layer, and the color conversion layer is separated at the recess.

Abstract
A light-emitting apparatus includes a package including a support having a central section and a peripheral section around the central section. The central section is raised upwardly from the peripheral section, providing a pedestal for supporting a light-emitting device. A light-emitting device secured on an upper surface of the pedestal and has electrodes. Electrically conductive members are provided on a peripheral region of the package and electrically connected to the electrodes of the light-emitting device. A color conversion layer covers the light-emitting device. A light-transmitting member is formed in the package, sealing at least the light-emitting device together with the color conversion layer. The pedestal has its side surface at least partially exposed from the color conversion layer.

13. A light-emitting apparatus comprising:
-
a package comprising an insulating substrate including a central through-hole therein, an inner wall of the substrate that defines the central through-hole having an annular ledge protruding therefrom, and a support including a central projection and a peripheral section around the central section, the support being disposed in the through-hole such that a side surface of the ledge is spaced apart from a peripheral surface of the central projection, forming a recess, and an upper surface of the support is positioned higher than an upper surface of the ledge; a light-emitting device on the upper surface of the central projection and including electrodes; electrically conductive members provided on a peripheral region of the package and electrically connected to the electrodes of the light-emitting device; a color conversion layer on the light-emitting device, the upper surface of the support and the upper surface of the ledge; and a light-transmitting member on at least the light-emitting device and the color conversion layer, wherein a side surface of the central projection is at least partially exposed from the color conversion layer, and the color conversion layer is separated at the recess. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
