Abstract

A light emitting device is provided, including a light emitting element, a package comprised at least partially of metal on which said light emitting element is mounted, and a resin layer coated on said light emitting element. The light emitting element is eutectic bonded to a metal portion of said package, and the resin layer is formed of a cured product of a silicone composition. The composition includes (i) an organopolysiloxane having an average composition formula (1):R1a(OX)bSiO(4−a−b)/2   (1)wherein R1 is an alkyl, alkenyl or aryl group, X is a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxyalkyl or acyl group, a is a number from 1.05 to 1.5, b is a number of 0<b<2, and 1.05<a+b<2, and (ii) a condensation catalyst. The device exhibits improved heat resistance and light resistance, and also exhibits improved adhesion to the resins and metal members used.
