| Abstract: |
According to one embodiment, an LED package includes a first lead frame and a second lead frame, an LED chip and a resin body. The resin body covers the LED chip and the top face, a part of the bottom face and a part of the end face, of each of the first and the second lead frames, and exposes the remaining part of the bottom face and the remaining part of the end face. The resin body includes a first part and a second part. The first part is disposed between the top face of the LED chip and a region immediately above the LED chip of the top face of the resin body and transmits light emitted by the LED chip. The second part surrounds the first part and has a transmittance of the light lower than a transmittance in the first part. |

| Claim: |
1. An LED package comprising: a first lead frame and a second lead frame spaced apart from each other; an LED chip provided above the first lead frame and the second lead frame and having one terminal connected to the first lead frame and the other terminal connected to the second lead frame, and a resin body covering the LED chip, covering the top face, a part of the bottom face and a part of the end face, of each of the first and the second lead frames, and exposing the remaining part of the bottom face and the remaining part of the end face, the resin body including: a first part disposed between the top face of the LED chip and a region immediately above the LED chip of the top face of the resin body to transmit light emitted by the LED chip; and a second part surrounding the first part and having a transmittance of the light lower than a transmittance in the first part, an external shape of the resin body defining an external shape of the LED package. |
| Claim: |
2. The package according to claim 1, wherein a reflectance of the light on the external surface of the second part is higher than a reflectance on the external surface of the first part. |
| Claim: |
3. The package according to claim 1, wherein the first part is transparent and the second part is white. |
| Claim: |
4. The package according to claim 1, wherein the first part and the second part are formed of silicone resin. |
| Claim: |
5. The package according to claim 1, wherein the bottom face of the resin body is formed of the second part. |
| Claim: |
6. The package according to claim 1, wherein the top face of the resin body is formed of the first part. |
| Claim: |
7. The package according to claim 1, wherein a part of an interface between the first part and the second part is inclined so as to extend outward from the resin body toward upward. |
| Claim: |
8. The package according to claim 1, further comprising phosphors disposed in the first part. |
| Claim: |
9. The package according to claim 1, wherein one of the first lead frame and the second lead frame includes: a base portion having an end face thereof covered by the resin body; and three extending portions extending from the base portion in directions different from each other, having bottom faces thereof covered by the resin body, and having tip faces thereof exposed on a side face of the resin body, a protrusion is formed in a region of one of the bottom face of the first lead frame and the bottom face of the second lead frame, the region is spaced apart from the other, the bottom face of the protrusion is exposed on the bottom face of the resin body, and the side face of the protrusion is covered by the resin body. |
| Claim: |
10. The package according to claim 1, wherein the second part contains a reflective material including titanium oxide. |
| Claim: |
11. The package according to claim 1, wherein the reflectance on the external surface of the second part is not less than 80% of the light region where the wavelength is in a range of 800 to 350 nm. |
| Claim: |
12. The package according to claim 11, wherein the reflectance on the external surface of the second part is not less than 90% of the light region where the wavelength is in a range of 800 to 350 nm. |
