Abstract

A package includes a substrate with a recess in which a light emitting element is mounted. A surface of the substrate forms an exterior surface of the package. A lid may be attached to the substrate to define a sealed region in which the light emitting element is mounted. The lid is transparent to a wavelength of light emitted by the light emitting element. Electrostatic discharge protection circuitry in the substrate is electrically coupled to the light emitting element.
