Abstract
An LED light source can include protection members to protect bonding wires. The LED can include a substrate including electrode patterns, a sub mount substrate located on the substrate, at least one flip LED chip mounted on the sub mount substrate and a phosphor rein covering the LED chip. The bonding wires can connect each of the electrode patterns to conductor patterns connecting to electrodes of the LED chip. The protection members can be located so as to surround both sides of the bonding wires. In addition, because each height of the protection members is higher than each maximum height of the bonding wires and is lower than a height of the phosphor resin, the protection members can protect the bonding wires from external pressure while the light flux is not reduced. Thus, the disclosed subject matter can provide a reliable LED light source having a favorable light distribution.
