Light emitting device and sealing material
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A light emitting device, comprising:
- a light emitting element;
a conducting portion to supply power to the light emitting element;
an element housing portion that houses the light emitting element therein; and
a sealing material that seals the light emitting element housed in the element housing portion,wherein the sealing material comprises a transparent resin material and a transparent filler with a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than the transparent resin material, said transparent filler having a volume ratio relative to said sealing material sufficient to preclude a thermal expansion sufficient to disrupt an electrical contact from said light emitting element, andthe transparent filler has a refractive index nearly equal to the refractive index of the transparent resin material so that the transparent filler does not significantly diffuse light emitted from said light emitting element.

Abstract
A light emitting device has: a light emitting element; a conducting portion to supply power to the light emitting element; an element housing portion that houses the light emitting element therein; and a sealing material that seals the light emitting element housed in the element housing portion. The sealing material contains a transparent resin material and a transparent filler with a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than the transparent resin material, and the transparent filler has a refractive index nearly equal to the transparent resin material.

14. A sealing material, comprising:
-
a transparent resin material to seal a solid-state element; and a transparent filler, wherein the transparent filler has a refractive index nearly equal to the transparent resin material so that said transparent filler does not significantly diffuse light emitted from said solid-state element, and the transparent filler comprises a material with a light transparency proof against light and heat generated from the solid-state element and having a volume ratio relative to said transparent resin material sufficient to preclude a significant thermal expansion. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
