Abstract

A side-emission type LED package is provided. The LED package includes an LED chip, a lower structure, and an upper structure. The lower structure has a lower mirror and a transparent sealing member. The lower structure supports the LED chip. The lower mirror is extended upward and outward@ from the LED chip so as to reflect light from the LED chip upward. The transparent sealing member is formed around the LED chip inside the lower mirror. The upper structure is combined to an upper portion of the lower structure so as to reflect the light reflected upward by the lower structure to a radial lateral direction. As described above, the lower structure and the upper structure are separately provided and combined with each other, whereby molding efficiency of the sealing member is improved and the side-emission type LED package can be manufactured in an easy manner.
