Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, an electrode plate 503 having external leads is provided on the inner bottom surface of the front recessed portion 502 of the reflection case 507 having a substantially rectangular shape with an open front surface. A light emitting diode chip 503 is bonded, and an LED light emitting body 500 having a light guide portion formed by filling a transparent or translucent mold material is formed in the concave fitting portion of the reflection case. The LED luminous body 500 has a substantially flat shape and is formed of a transparent or translucent plate having a light-transmitting property. The LED luminous body 500 is disposed at a position along the outer edge thereof.

In an LED luminous body having a lead electrode for electrically connecting a D die and the outside of a package, and a wire for connecting the LED die and the lead electrode, the package includes an LED.
An LED illuminator having a plurality of the recesses in which a die can be arranged and having at least one cutout in a longitudinal direction between the plurality of recesses.

い力で押圧するこにより容易に矯正することができる。When the resin package is deformed due to thermal stress, the cutout tends to be selectively deformed. On the other hand, the notch has a feature that it is easily deformed and easily corrected. Therefore, the warp deformation due to the residual stress during resin molding that occurs at the time of forming the package can be easily corrected by pressing the resin package with a small force in a direction opposite to the warp direction after molding. Similarly, the package warpage caused by wire bond heating or resin curing heating when mounting the LED on the package can be easily corrected by pressing with a weak force opposite to the warping direction.

できる。Further, the portion where the deformation due to the warpage concentrates and the correction portion are cutout portions separated from the LED die mounting portion, and the stress due to the deformation and correction hardly affects the LED die mounting portion. Therefore, due to the package deformation stress,
The LED die and the mount resin, the mount resin and the package, the mold member, and the like are very unlikely to peel off. Therefore, it is possible to provide an LED light emitting element in which reliability due to disconnection of a wire bond or the like is extremely small.

Therefore, the resin can be easily corrected instead of being thin and easily deformed. Further, the mechanical strength can be improved.

By providing a notch in which the resin package is most likely to be deformed and which is likely to intentionally concentrate stress at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction, it is possible to easily correct the LED package without damaging the LED die.

Thereby, the light utilization efficiency from the LED die using the nitride semiconductor having a high rate of emission from the end face of the active layer can be further increased.

Thereby, the reliability can be further improved, and the light can be more smoothly introduced into the planar light source, and the light use efficiency can be improved.

た歪みを導光板と一体時に矯正することができる。In the planar light source of the present invention, the above-mentioned LED light emitter is mounted on an end portion of a light transmitting light guide plate having a predetermined thickness. As a result, a highly reliable planar light-emitting light source having a high light use efficiency can be configured relatively easily. In particular, by pressing the LED light emitter in the direction opposite to the warpage with a relatively weak force that does not destroy the LED light emitter, the package can be easily formed into a horizontally long rectangular shape without warpage. Therefore, when the LED light emitter is assembled to the light guide plate, the occurrence of a gap between the light guide plate and the LED light emitter is reduced,
The light use efficiency can be improved by reducing the light leakage generated from the gap. Also, unlike the case where the LED light emitter is inserted into the fitting groove of the light guide plate, the distortion generated during the formation can be corrected at the time of integration with the light guide plate.

Invented the invention.

直接影響すること及びLED発光体の厚みが樹脂パッケ
ージの応力集中に大きな関係があるためと考えられる。Although the reason for the improvement of the characteristics by the structure of the present invention is not clear, the warpage of the LED luminous body directly affects the vicinity of the LED die and the thickness of the LED luminous body has a great influence on the stress concentration of the resin package. it is conceivable that.

ケージの反りは比較的小さくできるものの量産効率が極
めて悪い。In the case of a horizontally long LED light emitting device, the resin package tends to be deformed due to residual stress after mold release from the package or thermal stress due to heating in a mounting process, so that a significant warpage in the longitudinal direction tends to occur. The time required for cooling of the resin package differs between the vicinity of the resin injection port to the mold and the place farthest from the resin injection port. When the resin is gradually cooled over a long period of about 3 to 5 minutes by insert molding to form a resin package of an LED light emitting body, the warpage of the resin package can be made relatively small, but mass production efficiency is extremely poor.

より顕著に異なる傾向にある。On the other hand, if the time from injection of the resin into the mold to cooling is shortened to about 40 seconds or less to improve mass productivity, the resin package of the LED luminous body has internal stress generated during its formation and warpage. Large and easy to occur. The injected resin has a tendency for the cooling time of the resin to be significantly different depending on the location because the metal serving as the lead electrode of the LED light emitter becomes the resistance of the flow of the resin in the mold.

という問題が生ずる場合もある。The warpage of the resin package constituting the LED luminous body may cause a die bond resin for fixing the LED die, peeling of the mold member, or disconnection of a wire for electrically connecting the LED die to the lead electrode. Also,
At the time of optical connection with the light guide plate, the gap between the LED light emitter and the light guide plate increases. Therefore, the amount of light input to the leak light guide plate decreases. As a result, the utilization efficiency of light emitted from the light guide plate decreases. Further, if the warpage of the LED illuminant increases, there may be a problem that the LED illuminator cannot be mounted on the light guide plate using an automatic mounting machine.

It is formed independently of the opening where the D die is arranged. Further, the warp can be locally corrected by using the notch.

In addition, it is considered that the internal stress is locally applied to a portion where the thickness of the resin changes, with a difference in the thickness. Therefore, mass production, reliability, and light use efficiency can be improved by providing a portion to which a local stress is applied in advance independently of the opening for disposing the LED die in the resin package of the LED light emitter.

づいて、詳述する。The luminous efficiency can be improved by arranging the LED luminous body in the concave portion for each LED die (however, not necessarily one). The light emitted from the LED die includes light emitted from the LED die layer direction in addition to light emitted from the light emission observation surface side of the LED die. Such light is totally reflected at the interface between the LED illuminant and the light guide plate and at the interface with the mold member suitably provided for the LED illuminant. Some of the totally reflected light may be absorbed by an LED light-emitting body or a mold member, in addition to the light extracted to the outside. In the case where the front surface of the horizontally long LED light emitter has an open shape, the light emitted from the LED die in the layer direction reaches the reflective wall for a long distance, and the light is absorbed at a large rate. Therefore, the light use efficiency tends to decrease. Light-emitting elements using nitride semiconductors tend to appear remarkably because the ratio of light emitted from the layer direction is high. Therefore, the present invention can enhance the light use efficiency by arranging the light emitted from the LED dies in the concave portions provided for each LED die. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to specific examples.
