Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a LED which can be mounted at high density on a large area display. Having a hole for heat sink in the ceramic substrate, the LED is superior in heat sink property. In order to fabricate the light emitting device, first, a secondary ceramic sheet is stacked on the ceramic substrate, followed by forming electrodes in a predetermined pattern on the secondary ceramic sheet around the hole for heat sink. On the ceramic substrate, an upper ceramic sheet with an opening is stacked to form a stacked ceramic substrate in such a way that a part of the electrodes are exposed through the opening. After co-firing the stacked ceramic substrate, a light emitting diode chip is mounted on the secondary ceramic sheet at a position corresponding to the hole for heat sink. Then, the electrodes are electrically connected with the LED chip, and the LED chip is sealed with insulating resin. A light emitting device using the LED and a fabrication method therefor are also disclosed.
