`METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE, RESIN PACKAGE

`
`CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
`
`[0001]
`
`This application is a continuation of U.S. Patent Application No. 12/737,940, filed on
`
`May 13, 2011, which issued as U.S. Patent No. 8,530,250 on September 10, 2013.
`
`TECHNICAL FIELD
`
`[0002)
`
`The present invention relates to a light emitting device used for light equipment, a
`
`display, a backlight of a mobile telephone, a movie lighting auxiliary light source, and other
`
`general consumer light sources, and to a method for manufacturing a light emitting device.
`
`BACKGROUND ART
`
`[0003]
`
`A light emitting device using light emitting elements is small, provides good power
`
`efficiency, and emits light of bright color. Further, the light emitting elements are
`
`semiconductor elements, and therefore there is no concern for blowout. The light emitting
`
`elements have characteristics of good initial driving performance and are robust against
`
`vibration and repetition of on and off oflighting. The light emitting elements have these good
`
`characteristics, and therefore light emitting devices using light emitting elements such as light
`
`emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs) are utilized as various light sources.

`
`FIG. 14 is a perspective view illustrating a method for manufacturing a conventional
`
`light emitting device. FIG. 15 is a perspective view illustrating an intermediate ofthe
`
`conventional light emitting device. FIG. 16 is a perspective view illustrating the conventional
`
`light emitting device.
`
`[0005]
`
`Conventionally, as a method for manufacturing a light emitting device, a method is
`
`disclosed for insert-molding a lead frame with a non-translucent, light reflecting white resin,
`
`and molding a resin-molded body which has concave cups at predetermined intervals through
`
`the lead frame (e.g., refer to Patent Document l ). A I though quality of a material of a white
`
`resin is not clearly described, as is insertion-molding performed and as is clear from the
`
`figures, a general thermoplastic resin is used. As a general thermoplastic resin, for example, a
`
`thermoplastic resin such as liquid crystal polymer, PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), and nylon is
`
`often used as a light blocking resin-molded body (e.g., refer to Patent Document 2).
`
`[0006]
`
`However, the thermoplastic resin has little adhesion with a lead frame, and the resin
`
`part and lead frame are likely to be detached. Further, the thermosetting resin has lower resin
`
`fluidity of the resin and therefore is not adequate to mold a resin-molded body of a
`
`complicated shape, and has little light resistance. In recent years in particular, the output of a
`
`light emitting element is remarkably improved and, as the output of a light emitting clement
`
`is increased, light deterioration of a package made of a thermoplastic resin becomes more
`
`distinct.

`

`Atty. Dkt. No. 100415-0134
`
`In order to solve the above problems, a light emitting device using a thermosetting
`
`resin for a material of a resin-molded body is disclosed (e.g., refer to Patent Document 3).
`
`FIG. 17 is a perspective view and sectional view illustrating a conventional light emitting
`
`device. FIG. 18 is a schematic sectional view illustrating a method for manufacturing the
`
`conventional light emitting device. It is disclosed that, with this light emitting device, metal
`
`wires are formed from a metal foil by a common method such as punching or etching and arc
`
`further arranged in a mold of a predetermined shape, and a thermosetting resin is filled in a
`
`mold resin inlet to transfer-mold.
`
`[0008]
`
`I Iowever, this manufacturing method has difficulty in manufacturing multiple light
`
`emitting devices in a short time. Further, there is a problem that a great amount of a resin of a
`
`runner part is discarded per one light emitting device.

`As a different light emitting device and manufacturing method therefor, an optical
`
