Abstract
In a chip-type light emitting device in which first and second terminal electrodes are formed on both ends of an insulating substrate with a light emitting device chip being mounted on the surface side, the LED chip is directly formed on the insulating substrate, and at least a portion of the insulating substrate on which the LED chip is mounted is formed by a whitish material. Alternatively, in a lamp-type semiconductor light emitting device in which the LED chip is mounted on the top of a lead, and is covered with a dome-shaped package, or in a chip-type semiconductor light emitting device, a bonding material used for bonding the LED chip is made of a whitish material. Therefore, it becomes possible to reflect light that proceeds toward the back surface side of the LED chip efficiently, and consequently to increase the necessary luminosity even if the light-emitting efficiency inside the LED chip remains the same.
