20100207135	LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE - A light emitting device free from void-generation at a bonding between an LED chip and a metal layer provided on a dielectric substrate. This light emitting device is also free from short-circuit between the closely arranged LED chips. This light emitting device includes a plurality of the LED chips, one dielectric substrate (sub-mount member) which is made of a dielectric substrate for holding the LED chips. The dielectric substrate is formed with a plurality of supporting platforms which respectively holds the LED chips. Each supporting platform is provided with a metal layer which is soldered to the LED chip. The supporting platforms are configured to leave a groove between the adjacent ones of the supporting platforms. Each supporting platform is provided at its side surface with a solder-leading portion made of a material having a solder-wettablity higher than that of the supporting platform.	08-19-2010
20110006323	LIGHTING DEVICE - A lighting device comprising an LED chip having a light emitting surface, and being configured to emit a light from the light emitting surface, a mounting substrate being configured to mount the LED chip, a first color conversion member comprising a first light transmissive material and a first phosphor, the first phosphor being excited by the light which is emitted from the LED chip, thereby giving off a first light having a wavelength which is longer than a wavelength of the light emitted from the LED chip, the first color conversion member being directly disposed on the light emitting surface of the LED chip, a second color conversion member comprising a second light transmissive material and a second phosphor, the second phosphor being excited by the light which is emitted from the LED chip, thereby giving off a second light having a wavelength which is longer than the wavelength of the light emitted from the LED chip, the second color conversion member being shaped to have a dome-shape, wherein the LED chip and the first color conversion member are disposed between the mounting substrate and the second color conversion member.	01-13-2011

20090289132	ELECTROSTATICALLY ATOMIZING DEVICE AND ELECTROSTATICALLY ATOMIZING SYSTEM - A high voltage is applied between an emitter electrode in an atomizing barrel and an opposed electrode supported to the atomizing barrel to electrostatically atomize a liquid supplied to the emitter electrode into a mist of charged minute particles. A silencer duct is attached to the front end of the atomizing barrel for reducing noises developed when generating the mist of the charged minute particles. Accordingly, the silencer duct can absorb the noises developed around the emitter electrode and the opposed electrode at immediately downstream thereof for effectively reducing the noises.	11-26-2009
