Embodiments of the present invention relate to an illumination module providing a linear surface light source, an illumination device having the illumination module, a lamp unit, a liquid crystal display device, and a vehicle lamp. Background Art
[0002] Illumination applications include vehicle lamps and backlights for displays and signs. Compared with conventional light sources such as fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have advantages such as low power consumption, semi-permanent life, fast response speed, safety, and environmental friendliness. These light-emitting devices are applied to various illumination devices such as various display devices, indoor lamps, or outdoor lamps. Recently, lamps using LEDs have been proposed as light sources for vehicles. Compared with incandescent lamps, the advantage of LEDs is that they consume less power. However, since the emission angle of the light emitted from an LED is small, when using an LED as a vehicle lamp, it is necessary to increase the light-emitting area of the lamp using the LED. Since the size of an LED is small, the degree of freedom in designing the lamp can be increased, and it is relatively economical due to its semi-permanent life. Summary of the Invention

[0035] <Lighting module>
[0036] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the lighting module 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a device that includes a plurality of light-emitting devices 100 and emits the light emitted from the light-emitting devices 100 as linear surface light. The lighting module 200 may have a side surface, an exit surface, or a transparent surface having a line width surrounding the plurality of light-emitting devices 100. The lighting module 200 may be provided with a transparent surface or an exit surface having a predetermined width on one surface of the plurality of light-emitting devices 100. The lighting module 200 may include a first surface S1 facing one surface of the light-emitting device 100, a second surface S2 opposite to the first surface S1, and third surfaces S3 and fourth surfaces S4 extending in a second direction from both ends of the first surface S1 and the second surface S2. The first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may face each other. At least a part of the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 may face each other. As another example, as Figure 21As shown, the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 may not face each other. The minimum distance between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may be less than the minimum distance between the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4.
[0037] The first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may have a longer length in one direction or the first direction X. One direction or the first direction X may be a straight line or may include a curve, such as Figure 21 as shown. The third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 may be perpendicular to the first direction X, or may be perpendicular to the first surface S1 or the second surface S2. The first surface S1 may face the emission surface 111 of the light-emitting device 100, or may be a surface exposed from the first ends of the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 in the second direction. The second surface S2 may be a surface facing the non-emission surface of the plurality of light-emitting devices 100 or a surface exposed from the second ends of the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 in the second direction. The third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 may be different from the first surface S1 and the second surface S2.
[0038] In the lighting module 200, the plurality of light-emitting devices 100 may be arranged in the first direction or in the region between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2. The plurality of light-emitting devices 100 may be arranged in a row. The imaginary line connecting the light-emitting devices 100 arranged in a row may be a straight line or may include a curve with curvature. As another example, the plurality of light-emitting devices may be arranged in two rows, and the light-emitting devices in the second row are arranged between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 in the column direction (e.g., the Y direction). They may be arranged so as not to overlap each other. The plurality of light-emitting devices 100 arranged in the first direction X may respectively face the first surface S1 or the emission surface. Each of the emission surfaces 111 of the plurality of light-emitting devices 100 may face the first surface S1. The light emitted from the light-emitting device 100 may be emitted through the first surface S1, and a part of the light may be emitted through at least one of the second surface S2, the third surface S3, and the fourth surface S4.
[0039] As Figures 2 to 5 shown, the length X1 of the lighting module 200 in the first direction X may be longer than the width Y1 in the second direction Y. The length X1 in the first direction may vary according to the number of the arranged light-emitting devices 100, and may be, for example, 30 mm or more. The width Y1 in the second direction may be 13 mm or more or 16 mm or more. The width Y1 of the lighting module 200 in the second direction Y may provide a region for diffusing the emitted light of the light-emitting device 100 and a region for protecting the rear part of the light-emitting device 100. As Figure 2As shown, based on the light-emitting device 100, the distance D1 between the light-emitting device 100 and the first surface S1 and the distance D5 between the light-emitting device 100 and the second surface S2 can be different from each other. The distance D5 between the light-emitting device 100 and the second surface S2 can be 2 mm or more, for example, it can be in the range of 2 mm to 20 mm. When the distance D5 between the light-emitting device 100 and the second surface S2 is less than the above range, the area where moisture may penetrate or the circuit pattern may be formed can be reduced, while when it is greater than the above range, the size of the lighting module 200 will increase. In the lighting module 200, the first surface S1, the second surface S2, the third surface S3, and the fourth surface S4 can be set as surfaces perpendicular to the third direction Z. The third direction Z can be a direction orthogonal to the first direction X and the second direction Y. The first surface S1, the second surface S2, the third surface S3, and the fourth surface S4 can have the same thickness or the same height in the third direction Z. The lighting module 200 includes a substrate 210, a resin layer 220 on the substrate 210, and a first reflection member 240 on the resin layer 220. The first to fourth surfaces S1, S2, S3, and S4 can be the side surfaces of the resin layer 220. The resin layer 220 includes the first surface S1, the second surface S2, the third surface S3, and the fourth surface S4. The resin layer 220 can be set to surround the devices provided on the substrate 210, such as one or more light-emitting devices 100. At least three or more of the plurality of light-emitting devices 100 can be arranged in the first direction and can be provided in the resin layer 220. The plurality of light-emitting devices 100 can be provided between the substrate 210 and the first reflection member 240. The resin layer 220 can be made of a light-transmitting material such as silicone resin or epoxy resin. The resin layer 220 can include a glass material as another material.
[0040] The lighting module 200 may include a second reflecting member 230 between the resin layer 220 and the substrate 210. The second reflecting member 230 may not be formed, and a reflecting member may be attached to the upper surface of the substrate 210 to serve as the second reflecting member 230. The substrate 210 includes a printed circuit board (PCB), such as a resin-based printed circuit board (PCB), a metal core PCB, a flexible PCB, and a ceramic PCB, or includes an FR-4 substrate. The substrate 210 may be a flexible or non-flexible substrate. A circuit pattern may be provided on the substrate 210. The circuit pattern of the substrate 210 may include a plurality of pads in a region corresponding to the light-emitting device 100. In the region of the substrate 210, the rear region with respect to the light-emitting device 100 is a region opposite to the light-emitting region, and a circuit pattern for connecting the light-emitting device 100 may be provided. The width of the rear region may vary according to the number of the light-emitting devices 100 or the connection method of the light-emitting devices 100. The width of the rear region is the distance D5 between the light-emitting device 100 and the second surface S2, and may be 2 mm or more. Accordingly, a circuit pattern for connecting a plurality of light-emitting devices 100 and suppressing moisture from penetrating from the rear of the light-emitting device 100 may be formed.
[0041] Multiple light-emitting devices 100 may have joints disposed thereunder and may be electrically connected to pads of a substrate 210. The multiple light-emitting devices 100 may be connected in series through a circuit pattern of the substrate 210. As another example, the multiple light-emitting devices 100 may be connected in parallel through the circuit pattern of the substrate 210, or two or more groups connected in series may be connected in parallel. The light-emitting device 100 may include a device having a light-emitting chip or a package encapsulating an LED chip. The light-emitting chip may emit at least one of blue light, red light, green light, and ultraviolet (UV) light. The light-emitting device 100 may emit at least one of white, blue, red, and green light. The light-emitting device 100 may emit light in a lateral direction, and a bottom thereof may be disposed on the substrate 210. The light-emitting device 100 may be a side-view type. As another example, the light-emitting device 100 may be an LED chip, and one surface of the LED chip may be open and a reflecting member may be disposed on the other surface. An emission surface 111 of the light-emitting device 100 may be disposed on a surface adjacent to the substrate 210, for example, on a side adjacent to an upper surface of the substrate 210. The emission surface 111 is disposed on a side surface between a bottom surface and an upper surface of the light-emitting device 100 and emits light in a second direction Y. The emission surface 111 of the light-emitting device 100 may be adjacent to a second reflecting member 230 and may be a surface perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate 210 and an upper surface of the second reflecting member 230. A thickness of the light-emitting device 100 may be less than a length of the light-emitting device 100 in a first direction X. The thickness of the light-emitting device 100 may be 3 mm or less, for example, 2 mm or less. The thickness of the light-emitting device 100 may be in a range of 1 mm to 2 mm, for example, in a range of 1.2 mm to 1.8 mm. Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a pitch G1 between the light-emitting devices 100 may be 10 mm or more, for example, 10 mm to 30 mm. Additionally, a distance G2 between an outermost light-emitting device 100 and a third surface S3 or a fourth surface S4 of the resin layer 220 may be less than the pitch G1 and may be 10 mm or less. A length of the light-emitting device 100 in the first direction X ( Figure 7 L1 in) may be greater than a thickness of the light-emitting device 100, for example, 1.5 times or more the thickness of the light-emitting device 100. Since the light-emitting device 100 has a relatively thin thickness and a relatively long length in the first direction X, a light emission angle in the first direction X (a left-right direction with respect to the center of the light-emitting device 100) may be set to be relatively wide. Here, the light emission angle of the light-emitting device 100 in the first direction X may be greater than the light emission angle in a third direction Z (a vertical direction). The light emission angle of the light-emitting device 100 in the second direction Y may be in a range of 110 degrees to 160 degrees. Here, as Figure 3As shown, the thickness Za of the substrate 210 may be less than the thickness of the light-emitting device 100. The thickness of the light-emitting device 100 may be greater than twice the thickness Za of the substrate 210, for example, it may be in the range of 2 to 4 times. Since the thickness Za of the substrate 210 is thin, the lighting module 200 can be provided as a flexible board.
[0042] The resin layer 220 may be disposed on the substrate 210. The second reflective member 230 may be disposed between the resin layer 220 and the substrate 210. The resin layer 220 may cover the light-emitting device 100, and the first reflective member 240 may cover the upper surface of the resin layer 220. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with the upper surface and the side surfaces of the light-emitting device 100. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with the upper surface of the second reflective member 230. A part of the resin layer 220 may be in contact with the substrate 210 through the opening 232 of the second reflective member 230. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting device 100. The first surface S1, the second surface S2, the third surface S3, and the fourth surface S4 of the resin layer 220 are the side surfaces between the first reflective member 240 and the second reflective member 230. The first surface S1, the second surface S2, the third surface S3, and the fourth surface S4 may be the peripheral surface of the light-emitting device 100 or the surface corresponding to the side surface of the light-emitting device 100. The upper surface area of the resin layer 220 may be the same as the upper surface area of the substrate 210, the upper surface area of the second reflective member 230, or the upper surface area of the first reflective member 240. The length of the resin layer 220 in the first direction may be the same as the length of the substrate 210, the length of the second reflective member 230, or the length of the first reflective member 240. The maximum width Y1 of the resin layer 220 in the second direction may be the same as the maximum width of the substrate 210, the maximum width of the second reflective member 230, or the maximum width of the first reflective member 240. The resin layer 220 may be disposed between the first reflective member 240 and the second reflective member 230. The upper surface of the second reflective member 230 and the lower surface of the first reflective member 240 may be arranged to face each other on the lower surface and the upper surface of the resin layer 220. The upper surface of the first reflective member 230 and the lower surface member 230 of the second reflective member 240 may have the same area. Therefore, the resin layer 220 may diffuse the light emitted from the light-emitting device 100 and the light reflected by the first reflective member 240 and the second reflective member 230 to guide them in the lateral direction. The resin layer 220 may be formed to have a thickness Zb thicker than the thickness of the light-emitting device 100. Therefore, the resin layer 220 may protect the upper part of the light-emitting device 100 and prevent moisture penetration. Since the substrate 210 is disposed on the lower part of the light-emitting device 100 and the resin layer 220 is disposed on the upper part of the light-emitting device 100, the light-emitting device 100 can be protected. Therefore, the interval between the upper surface of the resin layer 220 and the light-emitting device 100 may be 0.6 mm or less, for example, in the range of 0.5 mm to 0.6 mm. The upper part of the resin layer 220 may be arranged to have the same thickness as the gap to protect the upper part of the light-emitting device 100.The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 is the distance between the first reflecting member 240 and the second reflecting member 230, and the distance (e.g., Zb) between the first reflecting member 240 and the second reflecting member 230 can be less than the distance between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2. For example, the distance between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 can include a maximum distance or a minimum distance. The distance or interval between the second reflecting member 230 and the first reflecting member 240 can be less than the distance or interval between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 of the resin layer 220. By setting the distance between the first reflecting member 240 and the second reflecting member 230 to be less than the width Y1 or the minimum width of the lighting module 200 in the second direction, linear surface light is provided, the luminous intensity is increased, and hot spots can be prevented. In addition, a lighting module flexible in the third direction can be provided. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 can be less than or equal to twice the thickness of the light-emitting device 100, for example, greater than 1 time and up to 2 times or less. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 can be, for example, in the range of 1.5 mm to 1.9 mm or in the range of 1.6 mm to 1.8 mm. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 can be 0.8 times or less of the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200, for example, in the range of 0.4 times to 0.8 times the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200. Since the difference between the thickness of the resin layer 220 and the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 is 1.2 mm or less, a decrease in light efficiency in the lighting module 200 can be prevented and the extension characteristics can be enhanced. The resin layer 220 can include a resin material such as silicone resin, silicone resin molding compound (SMC), epoxy resin, or epoxy resin molding compound (EMC). The resin layer 220 can include a UV (ultraviolet) curable resin or a thermosetting resin material. For example, PC, OPS, PMMA, PVC, etc. can be selectively included. The resin layer 220 can include a phosphor. The phosphor can include at least one of a yellow phosphor, a green phosphor, a blue phosphor, and a red phosphor. A light extraction structure such as a concavo-convex structure can be provided on the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220, but the present invention is not limited thereto. On the first surface S1, a first region horizontally overlapping the light-emitting device 100 and a second region horizontally overlapping the region between the light-emitting devices can be provided on the same plane. As another example, the second region can be recessed more in the direction of the second surface than the first region, or the first region can protrude more than the second region.
[0043] The second reflecting member 230 can reflect the light emitted from the light-emitting device 100. The second reflecting member 230 can be formed on the upper surface of the substrate 210. The second reflecting member 230 can be formed as an upper layer of the substrate 210 or as a separate layer. The second reflecting member 230 can be attached to the upper surface of the substrate 210 by an adhesive. The resin layer 220 can be attached to the upper surface of the second reflecting member 230. The second reflecting member 230 has a plurality of openings 232 in a region corresponding to the lower surface of the light-emitting device 100, and the light-emitting device 100 can be connected to the substrate 210 through the openings 232. A part of the resin layer 220 can be in contact with the substrate 210 through the openings 232. The openings 232 can be regions where the light-emitting device 100 can be joined to the substrate 210. The second reflecting member 230 can be formed as a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The second reflecting member 230 can include a material that reflects light, such as a metal or non-metal material. When the second reflecting member 230 is a metal, it can include a metal layer such as stainless steel, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag), and in the case of a non-metal material, it can include a white resin material or a plastic material. The second reflecting member 230 can include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The second reflecting member 230 can include at least one of a low-reflection film, a high-reflection film, a diffused reflection film, and a regular reflection film. The second reflecting member 230 can be provided as, for example, a regular reflection film for reflecting incident light to the first surface S1.
[0044] One end of the second reflecting member 230 can be disposed on the same plane as the first surface S1. The other end of the second reflecting member 230 can be disposed on the same plane as the second surface S2. As another example, one end and the other end of the second reflecting member 230 can be spaced apart from the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 and can be in contact with the resin layer 220. That is, the outer side of the second reflecting member 230 can be covered with the resin layer 220 to prevent moisture penetration. The thickness Zc of the second reflecting member 230 can be less than the thickness Za of the substrate 210. The thickness Zc of the second reflecting member 230 can be 0.5 times or more of the thickness Za of the substrate 210 to reduce the transmission loss of incident light. The thickness Zc of the second reflecting member 230 can be in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm. When it is less than the above range, light transmission loss may occur, and when it is greater than the above range, the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may increase.
[0045] The first reflection member 240 may be disposed on the resin layer 220. The first reflection member 240 may be attached to the upper surface of the resin layer 220. The first reflection member 240 may be disposed on the entire upper surface of the resin layer 220 to reduce light loss. The first reflection member 240 may be made of the same material as the second reflection member 230. In order to reflect light and reduce the light transmission loss, the first reflection member 240 may be made of a material having a higher light reflectivity than that of the second reflection member 230 or may have a thicker thickness. The first reflection member 240 may have the same or thicker thickness as the second reflection member 230. For example, the first reflection member 240 and the second reflection member 230 may be provided with the same material and the same thickness. The first reflection member 230 may be spaced apart from the edge of the substrate 210, and a part of the resin layer 220 may be in contact with the upper surface on the edge side of the substrate 210. When the resin layer 220 is in contact with the edge of the substrate 210, moisture penetration can be suppressed. The thickness Zd of the first reflection member 240 may be less than the thickness Za of the substrate 210. The thickness Zd of the first reflection member 240 is set to be more than 0.5 times the thickness Za of the substrate 210, thereby reducing the transmission loss of incident light. The thickness Zd of the first reflection member 240 may be in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm. When it is less than this range, light transmission loss may occur, and when it is greater than the above range, the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may increase. The first reflection member 240 may be formed as a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The first reflection member 240 may include a material that reflects light, such as a metal or non-metal material. When the first reflection member 240 is a metal, it may include a metal layer such as stainless steel, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag), and in the case of a non-metal material, it may include a white resin material or a plastic material. The first reflection member 240 may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The first reflection member 240 may include at least one of a low reflection film, a high reflection film, a diffused reflection film, and a regular reflection film. The first reflection member 240 may be provided as a regular reflection film such that, for example, incident light propagates in the direction of the first surface S1.
[0046] The exit surface of the resin layer 220 may be processed to be matte so that light can be diffused. The matte surface may be processed to be a rougher surface than the inner surface of the resin layer 220 to diffuse the emitted light.
[0047] The lighting module 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may provide a thickness Z1 in the third direction in the form of a line to provide a surface light source in the form of a ductile line. The thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may be 3 mm or less. That is, the lighting module 200 may be provided as a linear surface light source of 3 mm or less. As another example, the lighting module 200 may be greater than 3 mm and may be arranged to be 6 mm or less. In this case, the thickness of the lighting module 200 increases, but the thickness of the resin layer 220 increases to increase the line width and the light distribution area. Refer to Figure 3 , observing the thicknesses of the respective components in the lighting module 200, the thickness of the substrate 210 is Za, the thickness of the resin layer 220 is Zb, the thickness of the second reflecting member 230 is Zc, and the thickness of the first reflecting member 240 is Zd. There may be a relationship of Zb > Za > Zd ≥ Zc. The interval between the lower surface of the substrate 210 and the upper surface of the first reflecting member 240 is the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200. The ratio of the thickness Zb to Z1 may be 0.4 to 0.8, the ratio of the thickness Za to Z1 may be 0.14 to 0.18, and the ratio of the thickness Zd or Zc to Z1 may be 0.08 to 0.12. The ratio of Zb to Za may be 3.5 to 4. The ratio of Zb to Zc or Zd may be 5.8 to 6.4. By setting the thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 to be thicker than the thickness Za of the substrate 210, the light-emitting device 100 can be protected and the light can be diffused to guide it, and the ductility can be enhanced. In addition, since a linear light-emitting surface having the thickness Zb or height of the resin layer 220 is provided, a linear light-emitting surface can be provided.
[0048] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the resin layer 220 includes holes R0 therein. The holes R0 may penetrate the resin layer 220 from the upper surface of the resin layer 220 toward the substrate 210, or may be recessed through the resin layer 220. One or more holes R0 may be provided. The holes R0 may be provided between each light-emitting device 100 and the first surface S1. At least a part of the holes R0 may horizontally overlap with the emission surface 111 of the light-emitting device 100. The holes R0 may diffuse the light emitted from the light-emitting device 100. The refractive index of the material filling the holes R0 may be different from the refractive index of the resin layer 220. The refractive index of the material filling the holes R0 may be lower than the refractive index of the material of the resin layer 220. A gas may be provided in the holes R0, and the gas may include, for example, air, or at least one of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide gas. The holes R0 may be in a vacuum state. As another example, the holes R0 may be filled with a material having a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the resin layer 220. The material having a high refractive index may include metal oxides or metal nitrides. The holes R0 and each light-emitting device 100 may overlap in the direction from the first surface S1 toward the light-emitting device 100. The area of each hole R0 may be larger than the area of each emission surface of the light-emitting device 100. That is, holes R0 having an area larger than the front area of each light-emitting device 100 may be provided in front of each light-emitting device 100. The maximum length B1 of the holes R0 in the first direction X may be larger than the length L1 of each light-emitting device 100 in the first direction. The maximum length B1 of the holes R0 in the first direction may be larger than the length of the emission surface 111 of each light-emitting device 100 in the first direction. Therefore, the holes R0 may cover the emission-side region of the light-emitting device 100 in the first direction and may diffuse the incident light having a predetermined angular distribution. The length B1 may be more than 1 mm larger than the length L1 of the light-emitting device 100, or may be 115% or more of the length L1. The maximum width B2 of the holes R0 in the second direction may be equal to or larger than the width L2 of the light-emitting device 100. The maximum width B2 of the holes R0 in the second direction may be 1 mm or more, for example, 1 mm to 4 mm. When the maximum width B2 of the holes R0 in the second direction is less than the above range, processing is difficult, while when it is greater than the above range, the improvement rate of light uniformity may not be significant. The holes R0 may be provided in a region of 5% or more, for example, 5% to 60% of the distance D1 between the light-emitting device 100 and the first surface S1.
[0049] The minimum distance D2 between the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220 and the hole R0 can be less than the minimum distance D1 between the light-emitting device 100 and the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220. The minimum distance D2 between the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220 and the hole R0 can be equal to or greater than the minimum distance D3 between the hole R0 and the light-emitting device 100. That is to say, the hole R0 can be arranged to be closer to the light-emitting device 100 than the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220. The minimum distance D1 between the light-emitting device 100 and the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220 can be 4 mm or more, for example, between 4 mm and 10 mm, or between 4 mm and 20 mm. Since the minimum distance D2 is set within the range of 10% to 60% of the distance D1, the incident light can be refracted by the hole R0 and then diffused. The minimum distance D3 between the hole R0 and the light-emitting device 100 can be 2 mm or more, for example, between 2 mm and 4 mm. When the minimum distance D3 is less than the above range, the distribution of the beam angle of the light-emitting device 100 may be affected, and the light extraction efficiency may be reduced. Considering the error between the mounting process of the light-emitting device 100 and the fixing pin (see Figure 23 of 291) inserted when forming the hole R0, the minimum distance D3 can be the minimum distance. The distance G4 between the light-emitting devices 100 can be 5 mm or more, for example, between 5 mm and 18 mm. When the distance G4 is too narrow, the number of the light-emitting devices 100 may increase, and when the distance G4 is too wide, a dark portion may be generated between the light-emitting devices 100. The distance G4 can vary according to the distribution of the orientation angles of the light-emitting devices 100. The holes R0 can be arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the light-emitting devices 100, thereby reducing the hot spots on the central region of the light-emitting devices 100. When a plurality of holes R0 are provided, the distance G3 between the holes R0 can be less than the distance G4 between the light-emitting devices 100. The distance G3 can be 100% or more of the distance G4, for example, within the range of 100% to 200%. When the distance G3 is less than the distance G4, the difference in the luminous intensity between the region passing through the hole R0 and its periphery may increase. Here, the adjacent holes R0 can be connected to each other.
[0050] As Figure 3As shown, the height of the hole R0 is the same as the thickness Zb of the resin layer 220, or within the range of 50% to 100% or 80% to 100% of the thickness Zb of the resin layer 220. The lower surface of the first reflective member 240 may be disposed on the upper surface of the hole R0. On the lower surface of the hole R0, the upper surface of the second reflective member 230 may be disposed, the upper surface of the substrate 210 may be disposed, or a part of the resin layer 220 may be disposed. The hole R0 may be formed by providing fixing pins in the resin layer 220 and removing the fixing pins after the resin layer 220 is cured. Here, when the fixing pins are first provided during the formation of the hole R0 and then the resin layer 220 is dispensed and cured, the resin may not be provided at the bottom of the fixing pins. As another example, when the resin layer 220 is dispensed and the fixing pins are inserted before curing, a part of the resin may be present at the bottom of the fixing pins. Therefore, the height of the hole R0 may be equal to the thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 or within the range of 50% to 100% or 80% to 100% of the thickness Zb of the resin layer 200. The top view shape of the hole R0 may include a polygonal shape or a shape having a curved surface. The polygon may be a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, or a shape with more sides. The hole R0 may include a first surface portion Ra facing the light-emitting device 100, and a second surface portion Rb and a third surface portion Rc facing the first surface S1. The first surface portion Ra may be an area where light is incident. The second surface portion Rb and the third surface portion Rc may be surfaces for emitting light that travels through the first surface portion Ra or another surface portion.
[0051] The first surface portion Ra may have the height of the hole R0 and the maximum length of the hole R0 in the first direction X. The second surface portion Rb and the third surface portion Rc may be provided to be inclined from both ends of the first surface portion Ra. The distance between the second surface portion Rb and the third surface portion Rc may be the largest in the first surface portion Ra and the smallest at the point closest to the first surface S1. The second surface portion Rb and the third surface portion Rc may provide vertices at the intersection thereof. The interior angle C1 of the vertex Rp may be 120 degrees or less, for example, within the range of 60 degrees to 120 degrees. That is, the interior angle C1 of the vertex Rp is the angle between the second surface portion Rb and the third surface portion Rc or the interior angle of the emission region, and may be 60 degrees or more or within the range of 60 degrees to 120 degrees. Here, Figure 20 (A) of is a case where the interior angle C1 of the emission region of the hole R0 is 60 degrees, Figure 20 (B) of is a case where it is 90 degrees, Figure 20 (C) of is a case where it is 120 degrees, and Figure 20 (D) of may be set to 150 degrees. Here, when the interior angle C1 of the emission region of the hole R0 changes, the position and length of the first surface portion Ra are fixed and measured. A luminance map according to the interior angle of the hole R0 may be provided, asFigure 26 As shown. As shown in Table 1, when the inner angle C1 is from 60 degrees to 120 degrees, the light uniformity can be 84% or more, and when the inner angle C1 is 150 degrees, the light uniformity is about 80%.
[0052] [Table 1]
[0053] Interior angle (degrees) 60 90 120 150 Uniformity (%) 85.4% 85.1% 84.8% 79.7% Luminance (nit) 6477 6720 6881 7015
[0054] Therefore, by selecting the inner angle C1 of the emission region of the hole R0 within the range of 60 degrees to 120 degrees, the uniformity of the light emitted through the second surface portion Rb and the third surface portion Rc of the hole R0 can be improved. In the first embodiment, the resin layer 220 is adjacent to the first surface S1 and has a plurality of holes R0 arranged along the first surface S1, and each of the plurality of holes R0 can be respectively provided between each light-emitting device 100 and the first surface S1. Therefore, since the light emitted through the light-emitting device 100 is diffused by the hole R0, the uniformity of the light emitted through the first surface S1 can be improved. In addition, hot spots can be eliminated. In addition, in order to improve the light uniformity on the first surface S1, a convex lens may not be formed. In addition, since the distance between the first surface S1 and the light-emitting device 100 can be reduced, an increase in the module width can be suppressed. Figures 8 to 12 is an example in which the hole of the lighting module according to the first embodiment is modified. For ease of description, the configuration of the first embodiment will be selectively included, and the modified hole will be described. Refer to Figure 8 , the hole R0 may include a first surface portion Ra, a second surface portion Rb, and a third surface portion Rc, and a fourth surface portion Rd facing the first surface portion Ra. The fourth surface portion Rd may be connected between the second surface portion Rb and the third surface portion Rc, and may have a length B3 smaller than the length B1 of the first surface portion Ra. The fourth surface portion Rd may have a shape with the vertex removed Figure 7 . The fourth surface portion Rd can minimize the transmission of the light incident through the first surface portion Ra. A raised pattern may be formed on the first surface S1 facing the fourth surface portion Rd, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Refer to Figure 9 , the hole R0 includes a first surface portion Ra, a second surface portion Rb, and a third surface portion Rc, and the second surface portion Rb and the third surface portion Rc may include a concavo-convex pattern Rr1. The concavo-convex pattern Rr1 may be set in a triangular prism shape and can diffuse the incident light. The light incident through the concavo-convex pattern Rr1 can be diffused through various paths, and the light uniformity can be further improved. Refer to Figure 10 , the fourth surface portion Rd of the hole R0 may include a plurality of concavo-convex patterns Rr2. Since the fourth surface portion Rd has a plurality of concavo-convex patterns Rr2, hot spots caused by the light emitted through the fourth surface portion Rd of the hole R0 can be suppressed. Refer toFigure 11 , the hole R0 includes a first surface portion Ra, a second surface portion Rb, and a third surface portion Rc, and may include a recess Re recessed in a direction toward the light-emitting device in a region between the second surface portion Rb and the third surface portion Rc, and the recess Re may face the light-emitting device 100. A first vertex portion Rp1 may be connected between the recess Re and the second surface portion Rb, and a second vertex portion Rp2 may be connected between the recess Re and the third surface portion Rc. The depth B5 of the recess Re may be more than 10% of the width B2 of the hole R0, for example, in the range of 10% to 50%. The low point of the recess Re may be set closer to the first surface portion Ra than the first vertex portion Rp1 and the second vertex portion Rp2. The center of the recess Re may be set in the same region as the center of the light-emitting device 100. The recess Re adjusts the diffusion degree of incident light according to the depth B5, thereby suppressing hot spots at the center of the light-emitting device 100. Refer to Figure 12 , the hole R01 may include a first surface portion Ra1 protruding in the direction of the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220 and a curved second surface portion Rb1 facing the first surface portion Ra1. The interval between the first surface portion Ra1 and the second surface portion Rb1 may be constant or may become wider toward the center of the hole R01. The outer surface Rk1 between the first surface portion Ra1 and the second surface portion Rb1 may be a horizontal surface or an inclined surface. The first surface portion Ra1 may refract incident light, and the second surface portion Rb2 may refract the refracted light again. The hole RO1 may diffuse light incident through the first surface portion Ra1 and the second surface portion Rb1.
[0055] Figure 13 is a modified example of the hole. The hole R02 may include a first hole portion R21 having a longer length in one direction and a second hole portion R22 protruding from the first hole portion R21 in the direction of the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220. The first hole portion R21 may include a first surface portion Ra2 facing a plurality of light-emitting devices 100, and a second surface portion Rb2 opposite to the first surface portion Ra2 may be an exit surface. The second hole portion R22 includes an exit surface portion Rc having a third inclined surface portion Rc1 and a fourth inclined surface portion Rc2, and the third surface portion Rc1 and the fourth surface portion Rc2 may horizontally overlap each of the light-emitting devices 100. The third surface portion Rc1 and the fourth surface portion Rc2 form vertices in a region adjacent to the first surface S1, and the inner angle of the vertices may be 120 degrees or less, for example, 60 to 120 degrees. The second hole portion R22 may guide incident light and propagate it laterally.
[0056] Figures 14 to 19This is an example of a plan view showing the holes of the lighting module according to the second embodiment. The configuration of the lighting module can be selectively applied to the configuration of the first embodiment, and the changed parts will be described.
[0057] Reference Figure 14 and 15 , the resin layer 220 includes a plurality of holes R1 therein, and the plurality of holes R1 can respectively correspond to the light-emitting devices 100. The plurality of holes R1 can be respectively disposed between the light-emitting devices 100 and the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220. The holes R1 can be strip-shaped or rectangular having an elongated shape in one direction. The length B1 of the holes R1 in the first direction can be longer than the length L1 of the light-emitting devices 100 in the first direction. The plurality of holes R1 can be spaced apart from each other.
[0058] The length B1 of the holes R1 in the first direction can be more than 1 mm longer than the length L1 of the light-emitting devices 100 in the first direction. The width B2 of the holes R1 in the second direction can be 1 mm or more, for example, 1 mm to 3 mm. The distance D3 between the holes R1 and the light-emitting devices 100 can be closer than the distance D2 between the holes R1 and the first surface S1. The holes R1 can include a first surface portion R11 facing the light-emitting devices 100 and a second surface portion R12 facing the first surface S1. An outer surface Rs1 is provided at both ends between the first surface portion R11 and the second surface portion R12, and the outer surface Rs1 can extend perpendicular to at least one or both of the first surface portion R11 and the second surface portion R12. Therefore, the light incident on the holes R1 can be diffused, and the diffused light can be output as line surface light.
[0059] As Figure 16 shown, a single hole R2 can be provided to have a length covering a plurality of light-emitting devices 100. The hole R2 can be strip-shaped or rectangular. The length of the hole R2 in the first direction can be 80% or more of the maximum length of the resin layer 220 in the first direction. The length of the hole R2 in the first direction can be greater than the length connecting the outermost ends of the plurality of light-emitting devices 100. Therefore, the hole R2 can be disposed between each light-emitting device 100 and the first surface S1 and can be disposed to correspond to the region between the light-emitting devices 100. Therefore, since the hole R2 covers the emission side of the light-emitting devices 100 and the external region thereof, the incident light can be diffused and hot spots on the first surface S1 can be prevented. The hole R2 can be provided in a sine wave shape or can include convex portions protruding toward the light-emitting devices 100 and / or concave portions protruding toward the first surface S1. The strip-shaped hole R2 can reduce the straightness of the incident light.
[0060] As Figure 17As shown, the resin layer 220 may include a first hole R1 adjacent to the light-emitting device 100 and a second hole R2 adjacent to the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220. At least one of the first hole R1 and the second hole R2 may be singular or plural. A plurality of holes R1 and R2 may be arranged in at least two rows between the light-emitting device 100 and the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220. The plurality of first holes R1 may be arranged in a first direction and may face each of the plurality of light-emitting devices 100. The first holes R1 may be respectively provided between the light-emitting devices 100 and the second hole R2. A single second hole R2 may be provided in the first direction and may be respectively provided between the first hole R1 and the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220. The length of the longer one of the first hole R1 and the second hole R2 may be two times or more than five times the length of the shorter hole. The long hole R2 among the first hole R1 and the second hole R2 may be spaced apart from the third side surface S3 and the fourth side surface S4. The distance D6 between the first hole R1 and the second hole R2 may be separated by at least 1 mm and may be equal to or less than the distance D3 between the first hole R1 and the light-emitting device 100. At least a part of the first hole R1 and the second hole R2 may be connected to each other, which may vary according to the shape of the fixing pin. The length of the first hole R1 in the first direction X may be equal to or shorter than the length of the second hole R3. On the contrary, the positions of the first hole R1 and the second hole R2 may be changed with each other. The first hole R1 and the second hole R2 are arranged in a double structure and overlap the light-emitting device 100 in the horizontal direction, thereby reducing the hot spot at the center of the light-emitting device.
[0061] As Figure 18 shown, the resin layer 220 may include a first hole R1 adjacent to the light-emitting device 100 and a second hole R3 adjacent to the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220. The first hole R1 and the second hole R3 may be plural. The plurality of first holes R1 may be arranged in a first direction X and face each light-emitting device 100. The first holes R1 may be respectively provided between the light-emitting devices 100 and the second hole R3. The plurality of second holes R3 may be arranged in the first direction X and may be provided between the first hole R1 and the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220. The lengths B11 and B1 of the first hole R1 and the second hole R3 in the first direction are equal to each other, or the length B11 of the second hole R3 may be shorter than the length B1 of the first hole R1. Alternatively, the positions of the first hole R1 and the second hole R3 may be changed with each other. The first hole R1 and the second hole R3 are provided in a double structure and overlap the light-emitting device 100 in the horizontal direction, thereby reducing the hot spot at the center of the light-emitting device.
[0062] As Figure 19As shown, a plurality of holes R2a and R2b have a longer length in the first direction. The plurality of holes R2a and R2b can overlap in the second direction and can include regions that do not overlap in the first direction. The plurality of holes R2a and R2b can be arranged parallel to each other. The first hole R2a adjacent to the light-emitting device 100 among the plurality of holes R2a and R2b can be parallel to the straight line connecting the light-emitting device 100. The second hole R2b adjacent to the first surface S1 among the plurality of holes R2a and R2b can be parallel to the first surface S1. Each of the plurality of holes R2a and R2b can be spaced apart from the third side surface S3 and the fourth side surface S4. The plurality of holes R2a and R2b can be arranged closer to the third side surface S3 and the fourth side surface S4 than the outermost light-emitting device 100. Therefore, the light incident from the entire light-emitting device 100 can be diffused.
[0063] As Figure 21 shown, the lighting module 201 can be arranged in a curved shape based on the horizontal straight line X0. When applied to a vehicle ramp, the lighting module 201 can be combined in a curved ramp shape extending to the rear (or front) and side of the vehicle. In the lighting module 201, the angle between the straight line X0 and the imaginary straight line X2 connecting the two ends of the first surface S1 can be an angle C2 in the range of 10 degrees to 60 degrees, and the imaginary straight line X3 extending tangentially from the first surface S1 provided at one end of the lighting module 201 can have an angle C3 in the range of 5 degrees to 30 degrees. The imaginary lines connecting the adjacent light-emitting devices 100 in the lighting module 201 can include straight lines, oblique lines, or curves. The imaginary lines connecting the plurality of holes R0 can include straight lines, oblique lines, or curves. Here, a part of the line connecting the light-emitting devices 100 can be arranged closer to the first surface direction than the imaginary straight line connecting one end and the other end of the first surface S1 of the lighting module 201.
[0064] As Figure 22 shown, in the lighting module, the third reflection member 245 can be provided behind the resin layer or on the second side surface S2. The third reflection member 245 can be a metal or non-metal material among the materials of the reflection members disclosed above. The third reflection member 245 extends from the side surface of the substrate 210 to the side surface of the first reflection member 240 or can be provided on the side surface of the resin layer 220 at the side surface height of the resin layer 220. The third reflection member 245 can reflect again the light reflected from the holes R0 or the first surface S1.
[0065] Figure 23 of (A) to Figure 23 of (C) are views showing the manufacturing process of the lighting module according to an embodiment. As Figure 23As shown in (A) of FIG. , the fixing pin 291 can penetrate through the resin layer 220 and contact the second reflection member 230 or the substrate 210.
