Light emitting diode device preventing short circuiting between adjacent light emitting diode chips

摘要

A light emitting device free from void-generation at a bonding between an LED chip and a metal layer provided on a dielectric substrate. This light emitting device is also free from short-circuit between the closely arranged LED chips. This light emitting device includes a plurality of the LED chips, one dielectric substrate (sub-mount member) which is made of a dielectric substrate for holding the LED chips. The dielectric substrate is formed with a plurality of supporting platforms which respectively holds the LED chips. Each supporting platform is provided with a metal layer which is soldered to the LED chip. The supporting platforms are configured to leave a groove between the adjacent ones of the supporting platforms. Each supporting platform is provided at its side surface with a solder-leading portion made of a material having a solder-wettablity higher than that of the supporting platform.
