[0002] Lighting includes not only vehicle lighting but also backlights for displays and signboards. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have advantages such as low power consumption, semi-permanent lifespan, fast response speed, safety, and environmental friendliness compared to existing light sources such as fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps. Such light-emitting devices are applied to various display devices and various lighting devices such as interior and exterior lights. Recently, lamps using light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes as vehicle light sources have been proposed. Compared to incandescent lamps, light-emitting diodes have the advantage of low power consumption. However, light-emitting diodes emit light in the form of a point light source, and one light-emitting diode is matched for each individual image of a three-dimensional lighting, so multiple light-emitting diodes are required to realize all of the multiple individual images. In addition, when the same light-emitting diodes are used, the width of each individual image of the three-dimensional lighting is the same, so there is a problem that the diversity of images cannot be expressed. Therefore, when light-emitting diodes are used as vehicle lamps, there is a demand for reducing the number of light-emitting diodes and realizing various images.

[0009] 1 to 5, the lighting device 101 may include a lighting module 100 and a lens plate 70. The lighting module 100 may emit a point light source with uniform intensity in one direction through an opening 53 arranged on an output surface. The opening 53 may be arranged in one or more, and the number of stereoscopic images of the lighting device 101 is determined according to the number of the openings 53. The lens plate 70 may be arranged in a light output direction of the lighting module 100. The lens plate 70 outputs the incident light as a stereoscopic image or a stereoscopic illumination. The stereoscopic image or the stereoscopic illumination may be realized as a contrast ratio having a difference between the brightest area and the darkest area, or may give a stereoscopic effect in a three-dimensional form by using a depth of luminosity or a difference in luminosity. The lighting module 100 may include a substrate 11, light sources 21 and 22 arranged on the substrate 11, a resin layer 31 covering the light sources 21 and 22, and a light-shielding layer 51 having an opening 53 on the resin layer 31. The lighting module 100 may have one or more first transparent layers 41 disposed between the light-shielding layer 51 and the resin layer 31. The first transparent layer 41 may be a layer without impurities or a layer having at least one of a diffusing agent and a phosphor, or both. The light passing through the first transparent layer 41 is realized as a surface light source having uniform intensity, and after passing through the opening 53, it may be emitted as a point light source having uniform intensity corresponding to the shape of the opening 53. At least one of the openings 53 may be disposed on an area closest to at least one of the light sources 21 and 22, or one or more may be disposed between the upper areas of the light sources 21 and 22. The thickness of the lighting module 100 is the vertical distance from the lower surface of the substrate 11 to the surface from which the light is emitted or the upper surface of the light-shielding layer 51, and may be 5 mm or less, for example, in the range of 2 mm to 5 mm or 2.5 mm to 3 mm. The lighting module 100 may be provided with a thin thickness, and thus may be applied to a flexible structure or to a lamp housing or bracket having various curves or curved surfaces. The thickness of the lighting module 100 may be 200% or less of the thickness of the resin layer 31, for example, in the range of 150% to 200%.If the thickness of the lighting module 100 is less than the above range, the light diffusion space is reduced and hot spots are generated, and if the thickness is greater than the above range, the module thickness reduces spatial installation constraints and design freedom. In the embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the lighting module 100 is provided to be 5 mm or less, and a curved structure is possible, so that design freedom and spatial constraints can be reduced. The lighting module 100 can be applied to various modules or lamp devices that require three-dimensional lighting or three-dimensional effects, such as vehicle lamps, home lighting devices, and industrial lighting devices. For example, in the case of a lighting module applied to a vehicle lamp, it can be applied to head lamps, width lamps, side mirror lamps, fog lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, back up lamps, stop lamps, daytime running lights, vehicle interior lighting, door scarfs, rear combination lamps, backup lamps, etc.

[0010] <Substrate 11> The substrate 11 may include a printed circuit board (PCB) having wiring. The substrate 11 may include, for example, a resin-based printed circuit board (PCB), a metal core PCB, a flexible PCB, a rigid PCB, a ceramic PCB, or an FR-4 substrate. The substrate 11 includes a wiring layer (not shown) on an upper portion thereof, and the wiring layer is electrically connected to the light sources 21 and 22. When the light sources 21 and 22 are arranged on the substrate 11, the light sources 21 and 22 may be connected in series, in parallel, or in series-parallel by the wiring layer. The substrate 11 may function as a base member or a support member located under the light sources 21 and 22 and the resin layer 31. The length of the substrate 11 in the first direction Y and the length of the second direction X may be the same or different, for example, the length of the first direction Y may be equal to or greater than the length of the second direction X. The first direction Y and the second direction X may be perpendicular to each other. The thickness of the substrate 11 may be 0.5 mm or less, for example, in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. Since the substrate 11 is provided to be thin, the thickness of the lighting module is not increased. In the lighting module 100, the light sources 21 and 22 may be arranged to face at least one side, both sides opposite to each other, different sides, or all sides of the substrate 11. The substrate 11 may have a connector in a part thereof to supply power to the light sources 21 and 22. The region of the substrate 11 where the connector is arranged may be a part of the substrate 11 as a region where the resin layer 31 is not formed. When the connector is arranged on the bottom surface of the substrate 11, the region may be removed. The substrate 11 may have a top view shape of a rectangle, a rectangle, or another polygonal shape, or may have a bar shape having a curved surface. The substrate 11 may include a member having a protective layer or a reflective layer on an upper portion. The protective layer or the reflective layer may include a member having a solder resist material, and the solder resist material may be a white material and may reflect incident light.

[0011] <Reflection layer 15> The reflective layer 15 is attached to the upper surface of the substrate 11 or disposed between the substrate 11 and the resin layer 31. An adhesive layer, such as a UV adhesive, silicone, or epoxy, may be formed between the reflective layer 15 and the substrate 11. The reflective layer 15 may be provided as a film made of any one of a resin material, transparent PET, white PET (white polyethylene terephthalate), and Ag sheet. A plurality of reflective dots are disposed on the reflective layer 15 to reflect incident light. The plurality of reflective dots may include ink, and may be printed with a material including any one of TiO2, CaCO3, BaSO4, Al2O3, silicon, and PS. The plurality of reflective dots may be disposed such that the distance between the plurality of reflective dots decreases or the cross-sectional area increases as the distance from the light sources 21 and 22 increases. Here, the reflective layer 15 may have an open area, and the light sources 21 and 22 may be disposed through the open area. The reflective layer 15 may be formed on the entire upper surface of the substrate 11, or may be disposed on a single region or multiple regions having a predetermined shape. As another example, a layer containing a phosphor may be disposed on the region of the reflective layer 15. That is, a phosphor layer may be disposed between the upper surface of the substrate 11 and the resin layer 31. The phosphor layer disposed under the resin layer 31 provides wavelength-converted light in the direction of the emission surface.

[0012] <Resin layer 31> The resin layer 31 is disposed on the substrate 11. The light sources 21 and 22 are covered or sealed by the resin layer 31 on the substrate 11. The light sources 21 and 22 may be adjacent to at least one side or both sides of the side surfaces Sa and Sb of the resin layer 31. For example, the first light source 21 may be disposed adjacent to the first side surface Sa of the resin layer 31, and the second light source 22 may be disposed adjacent to the second side surface Sb opposite to the first side surface Sa. At least one or more of the side surfaces of the resin layer 31 may be straight or curved, and may be the same vertical plane as the side surface of the substrate 11. The resin layer 31 emits light through the upper surface Sc and / or the side surface. The upper surface of the resin layer 31 may be a flat horizontal surface or may include a concave or convex surface. The resin layer 31 may be bonded to the upper surface of the substrate 11, or may be bonded to the substrate 11 and the reflective layer 15. The resin layer 31 may be formed of a transparent material. The resin layer 31 may include a transparent resin material such as silicone or epoxy, or a plastic material. The resin layer 31 may be a transparent resin material, for example, a resin material such as UV (Ultra Violet) resin, epoxy, or silicone. The UV resin may be, for example, a resin (oligomer type) whose main material is urethane acrylate oligomer. The resin layer 31 using the above-mentioned composition is formed of a resin such as silicone, epoxy, or UV resin instead of a light guide plate, so that the refractive index and thickness can be easily adjusted, and adhesive properties, reliability, and mass production speed can be satisfied. As another example, a diffusing agent may be added to the resin layer 31 to diffuse light. The diffusing agent may include at least one of PMMA (Poly Methyl Meth Acrylate), TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3, and silicone.

[0013] <Light source 21, 22> The plurality of light sources 21, 22 may include a plurality of first light sources 21 and / or a plurality of second light sources 22. The first light source 21 may be adjacent to or facing a first side surface Sa of the resin layer 31, and the second light source 22 may be adjacent to or facing a second side surface Sb of the resin layer 31. The first light source 21 may be arranged in at least one column on the first region of the substrate 11, and the second light source 22 may be arranged in at least one column on the second region of the substrate 11. Any one of the first or second light sources 21, 22 may be arranged in two or more columns. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 13, when the first and second light sources 21, 22 are arranged in an N×M matrix on the substrate 11, N may be one or more rows, and M may be one or more columns. The light sources 21, 22 may emit light in at least one direction. For example, the first light source 21 may emit light in the direction of the second light source 22 or the second side surface Sb. The second light source 22 may emit light in the direction of the first light source 21 or the first side surface Sa. Each of the light sources 21 and 22 may be implemented as a side-view type package having an LED chip. As another example, each of the light sources 21 and 22 may be implemented as a top-view type package having an LED chip or an LED chip. For example, the light sources 21 and 22 may be implemented as a flip chip, horizontal chip, or vertical chip. The package includes a body or a reflective body disposed around the LED chip, and may adjust the directivity angle of the LED chip and protect the LED chip. The light sources 21 and 22 in such a package form may emit light in one direction or on one side. The LED chip may include at least one or all of a blue LED chip, a red LED chip, and a green LED chip. Each of the packages may have one LED chip or different LED chips, and at least one or both of the first and second light sources 21 and 22 may emit at least one or more of blue, green, red, and white. The first light source 21 may emit light through a first surface S1, and the second light source 22 may emit light through a second surface S2.The first surface S1 may be a surface facing the second light source 22, and the second surface S2 may be a surface facing the first light source 21. The first light source 21 and the second light source 22 may be arranged to face each other or to be offset from each other. As another example, the light sources 21 and 22 may include OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes).

[0014] <First transparent layer 41> The first transparent layer 41 is disposed on the resin layer 31. The first transparent layer 41 may be attached to the upper surface of the resin layer 31 in the form of a film or may be formed of a resin material. The first transparent layer 41 may be attached by the adhesive force of the resin layer 31 itself without a separate adhesive. This can reduce the process of attaching an adhesive separately, and it is not necessary to use an adhesive that is harmful to the human body, so that waste of processes and materials can be reduced. The first transparent layer 41 may be removed. The first transparent layer 41 may diffuse light emitted through the resin layer 31. The first transparent layer 41 may diffuse and mix light since a specific color may not be mixed when the luminosity of light is high. The material of the first transparent layer 41 may be a diffusion material or a light guide material. The first transparent layer 41 may include at least one of a polyester (PET) film, a PMMA (Poly Methyl Methacrylate) material, and PC (Poly Carbonate). The first transparent layer 41 may be provided as a film made of a resin material such as silicone or epoxy. The first transparent layer 41 may include a single layer or multiple layers. The thickness of the first transparent layer 41 may be thinner than the thickness of the resin layer 31. The thickness of the first transparent layer 41 may be 25 μm or more, for example, in the range of 25 to 250 μm or 100 to 250 μm. The first transparent layer 41 may provide the light incident within the thickness range as uniform surface illumination. The first transparent layer 41 may include at least one or more of a diffusing agent such as beads, a phosphor, and ink particles. The phosphor may include at least one of a red, amber, yellow, green, or white phosphor. The ink particles may include at least one of a metal ink, a UV ink, or a curable ink. The size of the ink particles may be smaller than the size of the phosphor. The surface color of the ink particles may be any one of green, red, yellow, and blue.

[0015] <Light blocking layer 51> The light-shielding layer 51 may be disposed on the top layer of the lighting module 100. The light-shielding layer 51 may be disposed closest to the lens plate 70 among the layers of the lighting module 100. The light-shielding layer 51 may include a metal or non-metal material. The light-shielding layer 51 may include an absorbing material or a reflective material. The light-shielding layer 51 may be a layer printed on the first transparent layer 41 or a layer separately attached. The light-shielding layer 51 may absorb or reflect visible light, infrared light, or a part of ultraviolet light. For example, the light-shielding layer 51 may absorb or reflect a wavelength in the range of 380 nm to 800 nm. For example, the light-shielding layer 51 may be a black ink or a black printed layer. The light-shielding layer 51 may be an absorbing material having carbon or carbon nanotubes, a black resist material, or a black matrix material. As another example, the light-shielding layer 51 may be a reflective layer, and may be formed of, for example, a layer having aluminum (Al) or silver (Ag), or an alloy layer having at least one of the metals. The light-shielding layer 51 may be a single layer or a multi-layer. For example, in the case of a multi-layer, the light-shielding layer 51 may include a first layer of a black material and a second layer of a reflective material, in which case the first layer may be disposed on the upper side of the second layer. The light-shielding layer 51 may be realized using a masking film. The light-shielding layer 51 may have a thickness of 0.1 μm or more, for example, in the range of 0.1 to 5 μm. If the thickness of the light-shielding layer 51 is greater than the range, the improvement in light-shielding efficiency is small, and if the thickness is less than the range, the transmittance is high. The light-shielding layer 51 may include one or more openings 53. The openings 53 may penetrate vertically from the upper surface to the lower surface of the light-shielding layer 51. The top view shape of the openings 53 may be a polygon such as a rectangle, oblong, triangle, or pentagon, a circle, an ellipse, or an irregular shape. The openings 53 may have a length D1 in the first direction Y and a length D3 in the second direction X that are the same or different. The openings 53 may be spaced apart from each other. The spacing between adjacent openings 53 can be greater than the length D1, D3 of each opening 53 in any one direction.That is, interference between adjacent openings 53 can be minimized and the three-dimensional effect can be maximized depending on the interval between the openings 53. The openings 53 may be arranged at regular intervals in a first direction and / or a second direction, or may be arranged at different intervals.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the openings 53 may have the same shape or different shapes. At least one or more of the openings 53 may be arranged on a straight line through which the first and second light sources 21 and 22 pass, for the luminosity of the light emitted from the light sources 21 and 22. The openings 53 of the light-shielding layer 51 may be an air region or may be made of a resin material for the linearity of light. The length D1, D3 of the openings 53 in one direction may be smaller than the interval G1 between the light-shielding layer 51 and the lens plate 70, i.e., the minimum interval. That is, the interval G1>lengths D1, D3 may be satisfied. The length D1, D3 of the openings 53 in one direction may be at least 3 mm or more, and may have, for example, a range of 3 mm to 10 mm or a range of 4 mm to 8 mm. If the length D1, D3 of the openings 53 is larger or smaller than the range, the three-dimensional effect is reduced. Here, at least one or all of the openings 53 may be arranged in an area that does not overlap the light sources 21, 22 in the vertical direction or the light emission direction. The sum of the areas of the openings 53 in the light-shielding layer 51 may be 50% or less of the area of ​​the upper surface of the resin layer 31, for example, in the range of 1% to 50% or 1% to 25%. If the sum of the areas of the openings 53 is larger than the range, the three-dimensional effect of the openings 53 decreases. The first light-transmitting layer 41 and the light-shielding layer 51 may be in close contact with the upper surface of the resin layer 31 or may be separated from the upper surface of the resin layer 31. The first light-transmitting layer 41 and the light-shielding layer 51 may be arranged in an area between the resin layer 31 and the lens plate 70.

[0017] <Lens plate 70> The lens plate 70 may include a transmissive portion 72 and a plurality of convex portions 71. The plurality of convex portions 71 may be disposed on one surface or the other surface of the transmissive portion 72. The plurality of convex portions 71 may be disposed on one surface where light is incident toward the transmissive portion 72, or on the other surface where light is emitted from the transmissive portion 72. The convex portions 71 may have a lenticular lens shape or a semi-cylindrical microlens shape. The transmissive portion 72 may be a member supporting the plurality of convex portions 71. The transmissive portion 72 is provided in the form of a plate or a film, and emits light incident therein in an outgoing direction. As shown in FIG. 5, the transmissive portion 72 and the plurality of convex portions 71 may be integrally formed. As another example, the plurality of convex portions 71 may be attached to one surface or the other surface of the transmissive portion 72 using a light-transmitting material. The material of the transmissive portion 72 may be resin or glass, and the resin may include a thermoplastic polymer or a photocurable polymer. Also, the material of the transmissive portion 72 may include polycarbonate, PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylate) or polystyrene, and polyethylene terephthalate. The material of the transmissive portion 72 may be an ultraviolet curing resin containing an oligomer, and more specifically, may be a resin mainly made of urethane acrylate oligomer. That is, a resin in which a synthetic oligomer, urethane acrylate oligomer, and a polymer type, polyacrylic, are mixed may be used. The convex portion 71 may be formed of a thermoplastic polymer or a photocurable polymer, or may be formed of the same material as the transmissive portion 72. The convex portion 71 may be formed through a photomask process on one side or the other side of the transmissive portion 72. The convex portion 71 may have a refractive index difference of 0.2 or less with the transmissive portion 72, thereby minimizing light loss due to the refractive index difference. The thickness of the transmitting portion 72 may be 0.1 mm or more, for example, in the range of 0.1 mm to 10 mm, or in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.25 mm.If the thickness of the transmissive portion 72 is smaller than the range, the three-dimensional effect is reduced, and if the thickness is larger than the range, the improvement in the three-dimensional effect is slight and the thickness of the lighting device increases. As shown in Figs. 2 to 5, the plurality of convex portions 71 may be arranged in a first direction Y on the lower surface (or one surface) or upper surface (or the other surface) of the transmissive portion 72, and may have a long length in a second direction X. The convex portions 71 may be arranged in the second direction X according to a three-dimensional image of the lighting device 101, and may have a long length in the first direction Y. The convex portions 71 may be stripe or bar shaped having a long length in the second direction X, or may have a sinusoidal or sawtooth shape. The plurality of convex portions 71 may be arranged in a combination of lens portions or unit patterns arranged on one surface or the other surface of the transmissive portion 72. The convex portions 71 may have a side cross-sectional shape in the second direction X that is hemispherical, semi-elliptical, or polygonal. The convex portion 71 may be a member that is provided in a shape capable of refracting incident light and capable of forming a three-dimensional effect. The lens plate 70 may be provided with an area equal to or larger than the area of ​​the upper surface of the lighting module, and may be arranged to be extended in a direction (e.g., X direction) perpendicular to the direction (e.g., Y direction) in which light is emitted from the light sources 21 and 22, or to be extended to an area between the X direction and the Y direction, so that the length of the convex portion 71 is longer than the length of the lighting module. The convex portion 71 may reflect and / or refract incident light and form a three-dimensional effect on an image based on light emitted through the other surface of the transmission portion 72. The lens plate 70 may extract a point light source of uniform intensity incident through the convex portion 71 as a three-dimensional image or three-dimensional illumination. Here, the lens plate 70 may have a flat surface on the side opposite to the surface on which the convex portion 71 is formed (e.g., the upper surface or the other surface). 3, the width R2 of the convex portion 71 is the maximum length in a direction (e.g., a first direction) perpendicular to the length direction of the convex portion 71, and may be 5 μm or more, for example, in the range of 5 to 100 μm or in the range of 10 to 80 μm. The smaller the width R2 of the convex portion 71, the more improved the clarity of the stereoscopic image. The height R1 of the convex portion 71 may be a protruding height and may be smaller than the width R2.For example, the width R2 may be 0.5 or less, for example, in the range of 0.1 to 0.48. If the height R1 of the convex portion 71 is larger than the range, the size of the unit pattern (i.e., the convex portion) becomes large and the three-dimensional effect decreases, and if it is smaller than the range, the difference in the clarity of the three-dimensional image decreases. The interval R3 between the convex portions 71 may be 1 μm or more, for example, in the range of 1 to 100 μm or 1 to 10 μm. The width R2 and height R1 of the convex portion 71 may be selected within the range in consideration of the difference in the clarity of the three-dimensional image or the three-dimensional surface illumination. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower surface Sc1 of the light-shielding layer 51 or the upper surface Sc1 of the first transparent layer 41 may emit surface illumination through the opening 53. The light L1 emitted through the opening 53 of the light-shielding layer 51 is emitted in the shape of a point light source with uniform intensity, and the light L2 refracted and transmitted through the curved surface 73 of the convex portion 71 of the lens plate 70 forms a three-dimensional image in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the convex portion 71 in the upper region Rz of the opening 53. At this time, the center region Rc perpendicular to the opening 53 may have the highest luminous intensity, and both side regions Ra and Rb may have a lower luminous intensity than the center region Rc. The three-dimensional image of the lighting device 101 is realized by such a difference in luminous intensity. As shown in FIG. 4, the three-dimensional image on the lens plate 70 changes in the region Rc1, Rc2 where the three-dimensional image is formed according to the gap G1, or the shape and size of the three-dimensional image change. The gap G1 is realized as a first air layer 55, and the first air layer 55 may be a region between two layers or a region where a bracket is attached to the outer edge.

[0018] According to an embodiment of the invention, the lens plate 70 and the light-shielding layer 51 may be spaced apart by a predetermined distance. The distance G1 may be a distance at which light incident through the openings 53 of the light-shielding layer 51 can be diffused and a distance at which the size of a stereoscopic image can be adjusted. The distance G1 may be 5 mm or more, for example, in the range of 5 mm to 50 mm or in the range of 5 mm to 20 mm. If the distance G1 is smaller than this range, the size of the stereoscopic image is small, making it difficult to obtain a stereoscopic effect due to the difference in luminance, and if it is larger than this range, the size of the stereoscopic image increases and the stereoscopic effect decreases.

[0019] The lens plate 70 may be parallel to the upper surface of the light-shielding layer 51, inclined to a first direction Y, inclined to a second direction X, or inclined to the first and second directions Y and X. Here, the inclination in the first direction Y may cause the distance between the lens plate 70 and the light-shielding layer 51 to gradually decrease or increase from one end of the lens plate 70 in the first direction Y to the other end. The inclination in the second direction X may cause the distance between the lens plate 70 and the light-shielding layer 51 to gradually decrease or increase from one end of the lens plate 70 in the second direction X to the other end. Depending on the inclination angle or inclination direction of the lens plate 70, various three-dimensional effects may be provided according to the luminosity and path difference of the light outputted through the lens plate 70, and for example, the three-dimensional image may include a curvature other than a straight line. The lens plate 70 may rotate based on an axis (e.g., Z direction) perpendicular to the center of the first direction Y of the resin layer 31. When the lens plate 70 rotates on the blocking layer 51, a three-dimensional image or three-dimensional illumination may be provided in a rotated form according to the rotation angle. At this time, the clarity of the stereoscopic image may be provided in a gradually decreasing form. For example, (A) to (E) of FIG. 26 show an example in which the lens plate 70 is rotated on the light-shielding layer 51 or the opening 53, and the stereoscopic image Im-1 may be displayed in a form in which the lens plate 70 is rotated 3 degrees to 6 degrees (A of FIG. 26), 8 degrees to 12 degrees (B of FIG. 26), 18 degrees to 22 degrees (C of FIG. 26), 35 degrees to 45 degrees (D of FIG. 26), or 45 degrees to 55 degrees (E of FIG. 26). The rotation angle of the lens plate 70 is provided in the range of 1 degree to 180 degrees. At this time, the clarity of the stereoscopic image may be decreased according to the rotation angle, and may be displayed in a mutual interference form. That is, there is an effect that various stereoscopic images or stereoscopic illuminations can be provided according to the rotation angle of the lens plate 70.

[0020] The inclination of the lens plate 70 in the second direction X can be defined as the tilt of the image. Since the convex portion 71 is disposed with a long length in the second direction X, the stereoscopic image or the stereoscopic illumination can be tilted. As shown in (A) to (D) of FIG. 27, the stereoscopic image Im-2 can be changed into a tilted form according to the inclination angle of the lens plate 70 in the second direction X. (A) of FIG. 27 is a front image, and when the inclination angle gradually increases from (B) to (D), the stereoscopic image can be displayed in a tilted form at a gradually increasing angle. (A) of FIG. 27 is a case where the tilt angle is 0 degrees, (B) is a case where the tilt angle is 13 degrees to 18 degrees, (C) is a case where the tilt angle is 18 degrees to 22 degrees, and (D) is a case where the tilt angle is 30 degrees to 40 degrees. The tilt angle may be 15 degrees or more, for example, in the range of 15 to 40 degrees, and if it is larger or smaller than the range, the tilt degree of the image is excessive or insufficient. The present invention can provide various stereoscopic images or illuminations according to the tilt angle of the lens plate 70. Also, the area with the highest luminance in each stereoscopic image Im-2 or the center area may be the area corresponding to the opening 53. That is, various stereoscopic images or illuminations can be provided according to the tilt angle of the lens plate 70. Here, FIG. 28 shows an example of tilting and rotating the lens plate 70. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 28, the stereoscopic image Im-3 can be displayed in various image stereoscopic forms as shown in (A), (B) and (C) by tilting and rotating the lens plate 70. FIG. 29 shows an example of stereoscopic images according to the distance G1 between the lens plate 70 and the light-shielding layer 51. As shown in Figures 29 (A) to (D) and Figure 3, the stereoscopic image Im-4 can be seen when the spacing G1 is 5 mm or less (Figure 29 (A)), 8 to 12 mm (Figure 29 (B)), 13 mm to 15 mm (Figure 29 (C)), or 18 mm to 21 mm (Figure 29 (D)). It can be seen that when the spacing G1 is 12 mm or less, a stereoscopic image effect can be given without a decrease in clarity.The direction in which the patterns such as the convex portion 71 are arranged and the three-dimensional image are arranged in a mutually orthogonal direction, i.e., offset at an angle of 90 degrees, and the three-dimensional image can be rotated while maintaining the angle (i.e., 90 degrees) by rotating the patterns such as the convex portion 71. The lighting device 101 according to the embodiment of the invention can show various three-dimensional images or three-dimensional illumination depending on the distance between the lens plate 70 and the light-shielding layer 51 and the rotation and / or tilt angle of the lens plate 70. Such three-dimensional illumination is provided as a long image in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the convex portion 71 centered on the opening 53, and is provided with the highest luminance above the opening 53 and with lower luminance as it moves away from the highest luminance region. That is, the three-dimensional image is provided with a shape in which the luminance of the three-dimensional image gradually decreases based on the upper region of the opening 53, or with an image having different depths.

[0021] Fig. 6 is a first modified example of Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 6, the light-shielding layer 51 may be disposed on the upper surface of the resin layer 31. The light-shielding layer 51 may be attached to the upper surface of the resin layer 31. In such a lighting device, the first light-transmitting layer 41 is removed, and the light-shielding layer 51 is disposed on the resin layer 31, thereby reducing the thickness of the lighting device. The opening 53 of the light-shielding layer 51 may be an air region or may be filled with a resin material for linearity of light.

[0022] FIG. 7 is a second modified example of FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 7, a first light-transmitting layer 41 and a second light-transmitting layer 45 may be included between the light-shielding layer 51 and the resin layer 31. The first light-transmitting layer 41 is disposed on the resin layer 31, and the second light-transmitting layer 45 is disposed between the first light-transmitting layer 41 and the light-shielding layer 51. As another example, the first light-transmitting layer 41 having a diffusing agent may be disposed on the resin layer 31, and the second light-transmitting layer 45 having no impurities or having impurities may be disposed on the first light-transmitting layer 41. At least one of the first and second light-transmitting layers 41 and 45 may be doped with phosphor and / or ink particles. A second air layer 55A may be disposed between the first light-transmitting layer 41 and the second light-transmitting layer 45. The second air layer 55A may be an empty area between two layers or an area filled with air, and a bracket supporting the lighting module 100 may be coupled to the outer edge of the second air layer 55A. By disposing the second air layer 55A on the resin layer 31, it is possible to reduce hot spots of light, and a three-dimensional effect can be realized by the difference in depth of light depending on the refracted angle or path.

[0023] 8 and 9, the convex portion 71A of the lens plate 70 may be disposed on a surface from which light is emitted, i.e., the other surface or the top surface. The convex portion 71A may be formed in a hemispherical, semi-elliptical or polygonal shape. The convex portion 71A may be integrally formed with the transmission portion 72A or may be attached with a separate lens material. The lower surface of the lens plate 70 may be a flat surface, and the distance G1 between the lens plate 70 and the light-shielding layer 51 may be within the range disclosed above. The light emitted through the convex portion 71A may be dispersed to the left / right with respect to the central axis according to the emission angle refracted on the surface of the convex portion 71A to form a stereoscopic image.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 10, the plurality of convex portions 71, 71A of the lens plate 70 have hemispherical curved surfaces 74 (74A, 74B, 74C), and the angle R0 between the direction Z perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the convex portions 71, 71A and the tangents of the curved surfaces 74A, 74B, 74C is provided to be 5 degrees or more, for example, in the range of 5 to 85 degrees. The angle R0 can adjust the reflection and refraction angles of the incident light or the outgoing light. The width R2 of the plurality of convex portions 71, 71A can be 5 μm or more, for example, in the range of 5 to 100 μm or 10 to 80 μm. The connection portion 76 between the convex portions 71, 71A is a portion that connects both the convex portions 71, 71A, and the distance or interval R3 thereof can be 1 μm or more, for example, in the range of 1 to 100 μm or 1 to 10 μm. Such a plurality of protruding portions 71, 71A may be disposed below or above the transmitting portions 72, 72A.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 11, the convex portion 71B of the lens plate 70 has a polygonal angular surface 75 (having 75A, 75B, 75C), and the inclination angles R01, R02 between the direction Z orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the convex portions 71B and the angular inclined surface S71 are provided in the range of 5 degrees or more, for example, 5 to 85 degrees. The angles R01, R02 are provided at an angle that becomes wider as it is farther from the central axis Z (R01 < R02), and the reflection and refraction angles of the incident light or the emitted light can be adjusted. Here, the width R4 of each center region S72 of each convex portion 71B is arranged to be 10 μm or less, and a decrease in the light incident efficiency can be prevented. The outer inclined surface S71 of the center region S72 may be arranged with the same width as or a larger width than the width of the center region S72. The inner angle between the center region S72 and the inclined surface S71 may be less than 180 degrees, for example, an obtuse angle. A decrease in the efficiency of the light incident or emitted by the center region S72 and the inclined surface S71 can be prevented. The width R2 of the plurality of convex portions 71B can have a range of 5 μm or more, for example, 5 to 100 μm or 10 to 80 μm. The connecting portion 76 between the convex portions 71B is a portion connecting both convex portions 71B, and the distance or interval R3 can have a range of 1 μm or more, for example, 1 to 100 μm or 1 to 10 μm. Such a plurality of convex portions 71B may be arranged below or above the transmissive portion 72B.

[0026] Referring to Fig. 12, the lens plate 70 is arranged on the illumination module 100. The lens plate 70 can include a transmissive portion 72C and convex portions 71C. The convex portions 71C are arranged in a prism pattern shape, that is, a triangular shape, and the inclination angle R03 between the direction Z orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the convex portions 71C and the inclined surface 77 is provided in the range of 5 degrees or more, for example, 5 to 85 degrees. The reflection and refraction angles of the incident light or the emitted light can be adjusted by the angle R03. The interval R5 between the vertices of the convex portions 71C can have a range of 5 μm or more, for example, 5 to 100 μm or 10 to 80 μm. Such a plurality of convex portions 71C may be arranged below or above the transmissive portion 72C.

[0027] FIG. 23 is a modified example of FIG. 6. In the lighting module, a reflector 15A may be disposed between the resin layer 31 and the substrate 11. The reflector 15A according to the modified example may be disposed in a region vertically overlapping the opening 53 of the light-shielding layer 51, which is a partial region of the substrate 11, unlike the reflector 15 according to the first embodiment. The reflector 15A may be formed with a predetermined width D11 on the emission surface S1 of the light-emitting element 21, and may be formed with horizontal and vertical sizes ranging from 2 mm×2 mm to 15 mm×15 mm, for example. As a result, the light emitted from the light-emitting element 21 travels directly through the opening 53, or is reflected by the reflector 15A and emitted through the opening 53. This structure can emit a part of the light reflected by the reflector 15A through the opening 53 to eliminate a direct hot spot caused by the light source 21 on the opening 53, improve the light efficiency for a stereoscopic image, and prevent a decrease in luminous intensity.

[0028] Fig. 24 is a modified example of Fig. 23. A plurality of reflective portions 15A are arranged on the substrate 11, and a plurality of openings 53 are arranged in the light-shielding layer 51 at a predetermined interval G4. The reflective portions 15A and the openings 53 may be arranged in the same direction, for example, in the direction in which light is emitted. The predetermined interval G4 may be provided to be wider than the width (horizontal width) of each convex portion 71A. Since the upper surface area of ​​each reflective portion 15A may be larger than the area of ​​each of the openings 53, the reflective portion 15A can improve the efficiency of incidence of light through the openings 53.

[0029] <Second Example> FIG. 13 is an example of a side cross-sectional view of a lighting device according to a second embodiment of the invention. The description of the second embodiment refers to the configuration disclosed above, and may include the same configuration. Referring to FIG. 13, the lighting device includes a lighting module 100A, and a lens plate 70 is disposed on the lighting module 100A. The lighting module 100A may include a plurality of light sources 25 disposed on a substrate 11. Each of the plurality of light sources 25 may be embodied as a top-view type package having an LED chip or an LED chip. For example, the package may be embodied as a flip chip, a horizontal chip, or a vertical chip. The package includes a body or a reflective body disposed around the LED chip, and may adjust the directivity angle of the LED chip and protect the LED chip. The light source 25 in such a package form may emit light in an upward or lateral direction. The LED chip may include at least one or all of a blue LED chip, a red LED chip, and a green LED chip. Each of the packages may have one LED chip or different LED chips, and the plurality of light sources 25 may emit at least one or more of blue, green, red, and white. The resin layer 31 may cover or seal the plurality of light sources 25. A reflective layer 15 is disposed between the resin layer 31 and the substrate 11, and the light sources 25 are mounted on the substrate 11 through the reflective layer 15. Here, when the flip chip is disposed on the substrate 11, the flip chip may emit light through the top surface and four side surfaces S3 and may be reflected by the reflective layer 15. The flip chip may include a first transparent layer 41 disposed on the resin layer 31 and a second transparent layer 45 disposed on the first transparent layer 41, and only one of the first transparent layer 41 or the second transparent layer 45 may be disposed. At least one of the first and second transparent layers 41 and 45 may include a phosphor and / or a diffusing agent, and ink particles. A light-shielding layer 51 is disposed on the second transparent layer 45, and a point light source with uniform intensity is emitted to the lens plate 70 through an opening 53 of the light-shielding layer 51. For the light-shielding layer 51, refer to the description of the first embodiment disclosed above.At least one of the openings 53 of the light-shielding layer 51 may vertically overlap with the light source 25. The lens plate 70 has a plurality of convex portions 71 on one surface or the other surface of a transmission portion 72 and is disposed apart from the light-shielding layer 51, so that a point light source with uniform intensity incident through the openings 53 of the light-shielding layer 51 can be illuminated as a three-dimensional illumination or a three-dimensional image.

[0030] 14 and 15 are first and second modified examples of the lens plate of the first and second embodiments. As shown in FIG. 14, the lens plate 80 includes a transmission portion 82 and a convex portion 81 on one or the other surface of the transmission portion 82. When the convex portion 81 is disposed on the upper portion of the transmission portion 82, light is emitted through a curved surface 83 of the convex portion 81. The lens plate 80 may include inclined portions 82A and 82B inclined from a center portion 82C toward a center of the lighting module 100A in a first direction Y. The inclined portions 82A and 82B are disposed at an acute angle R5 with respect to a straight line horizontal to the center portion 82C. The lens plate 80 has regions where the interval G2 between the inclined portions 82A and 82B and the light-shielding layer 51 is different with respect to the first direction Y, and is disposed on the lighting module 100A, so that various three-dimensional effects can be realized by changing the interval G2. Here, in order to prevent the problem of mutual interference of three-dimensional illuminations in the center region C1 of the lens plate 80, the interval between the openings 53 of the light-shielding layer 51 can be maximized or the interval G2 between the lens plate 80 can be minimized to reduce the interference between the three-dimensional images. Alternatively, the interval between the convex portions 81 of the lens plate 80 can be further increased to reduce the interference between the three-dimensional images.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 15, the lens plate 80 includes a transmission portion 82 and a convex portion 81 on one or the other surface of the transmission portion 82. When the convex portion 81 is disposed on the transmission portion 82, light is emitted through a curved surface 83 of the convex portion 81. The lens plate 80 includes a center portion 85A that is inclined and a first extension portion 85B that extends horizontally from one end of the center portion 85A and a second extension portion 85C that extends horizontally from the other end. The length of the center portion 85A may be greater than the lengths of the first and second extension portions 85B and 85C. The inclination angle R6 of the center portion 85A may be an acute angle, and the first extension portion 85B may be disposed higher than the position of the second extension portion 85C. The first and second extension portions 85B and 85C are spaced apart in a first direction, and the convex portion 81 of the lens plate 80 is arranged in a first direction Y and is provided with a long length in a second direction X. Such a lens plate has regions with different intervals G3 between the light-shielding layer 51 along the first direction Y and is disposed on the lighting module 100A, and various three-dimensional effects can be realized by changing the interval G3. Here, in order to reduce interference between the three-dimensional images on the center portion 85A and the second extension portion 85C of the lens plate 80, the interval between the openings 53 of the light-shielding layer 51 can be maximized or the interval G3 between the lens plate 80 can be reduced. Alternatively, the interval between the convex portions 81 of the lens plate 80 can be further increased to reduce interference between the three-dimensional images.

[0032] 16 and 17 are first and second modified examples of the lighting module in the lighting device of the invention, and the same parts as those described above may be omitted and selectively applied. As shown in FIG. 16, the lighting module 100B may include a substrate 11, a resin layer 31, a light source 25, and a first transparent layer 61. The light source 25 may be provided as an LED chip or package type, and may be arranged in a flip chip form, for example. The resin layer 31 may cover or seal the light source 25. The reflective layer 15 is disposed on the resin layer 31 and the substrate 11. The resin layer 31 may be formed of a transparent resin material and may be closely attached to the substrate 11 and the reflective layer 15. The first transparent layer 61 may be disposed on the upper surface and side surface of the resin layer 31. The first transparent layer 61 may be provided in a form surrounding the resin layer 31. The side 61A of the first transparent layer 61 may extend to the outside of the resin layer 31 and contact the reflective layer 15 and / or the substrate 11. A diffusion agent may be added to the resin layer 31, and the first transparent layer 61 may include at least one or both of a phosphor and ink particles. The phosphor and ink particles are described above. The light-shielding layer 51 has an opening 53 and is disposed on the first transparent layer 61. The first transparent layer 61 may be made of a resin material such as silicone or epoxy. The lens plate 70 may selectively adopt the embodiment or modified example disclosed above, and the convex portion 71 may be disposed on one side or the other side of the transmission portion 72. As shown in FIG. 17, a number of transparent layers 61 and 63 may be disposed on the resin layer 31 of the lighting module.

The light source 21 may be sealed in the resin layer 31. The resin layer 31 may cover the light source 21 and emit light through the front surface or the output surface Sc2. The rear surface of the resin layer 31 is the opposite surface of the front surface and may be separated from the light source 21. The light source 21 may be embodied as a package having a body 21B and an LED chip 21C in the body 21B. The body 21B is a body made of a reflective resin material, and the LED chip 21C is connected to the substrate 11 through a lead frame. The light sources 21 may include a first surface S1 facing the light exit surface Sc2 or the light blocking layer 51. Light emitted from the light sources 21 may be blue, green, red, or white. As shown in Fig. 21, the light sources 21 may be arranged on the same straight line, or a straight line connecting the centers of the light sources 21 may become gradually more distant from one end of the lens plate 70 to the other end.The first and second reflective layers 15 and 19 reflect the light generated from the light source 21, and the reflected light or the light emitted from the light source 21 proceeds to the exit surface as line illumination along the resin layer 31.

The light-shielding layer 51 has an opening 53, and can emit linear illumination in the shape of a point light source with uniform intensity through the opening 53. The light-shielding layer 51 can be in contact with or spaced apart from the exit surface of the resin layer 31. The light-shielding layer 51 can be in contact with or spaced apart from the first and second reflective layers 15 and 19. The vertical length of the light-shielding layer 51 may be equal to or greater than the linear length from the lower surface of the substrate 11 to the upper surface of the second reflective layer 19.

[0036] <Fifth Example> FIG. 22 is an example of a side cross-sectional view of a lighting device according to a fifth embodiment of the invention, and the same parts as those in the description disclosed above may be omitted and selectively applied. Referring to FIG. 22, the lighting module may include a light-shielding part 52 disposed between the resin layer 31 and the light-shielding layer 51. The light-shielding part 52 may be formed of a material having a reflectance of 30% or more and / or a transmittance of 80% or less. The light-shielding layer 51 may be attached to the upper surface of the resin layer 31 by an adhesive layer 52A, and the adhesive layer 52A may be disposed on the periphery of the light-shielding part 52, and the light-shielding part 52 may be disposed in an area overlapping with the opening 53 of the light-shielding layer 51. The light-shielding part 52 covers the entire area of ​​the opening 53 with an area larger than the area of ​​the opening 53. The light-shielding part 52 is disposed on the rear surface of the light-emitting element 21 in an area covering the front surface (emission surface), and hot spots can be suppressed. The light-shielding part 52 is disposed between the opening 53 and the resin layer 31, or between the opening 53 and the light-emitting element 21. As a result, the light blocking portion 52 suppresses hot spots, and the light emitted through the light blocking portion 52 is emitted as a point light source having a more uniform intensity through the opening 53, and the point light source can proceed to a plurality of convex portions 71A of the lens plate 70. As a result, the point light source emitted from the opening 53 is emitted as a three-dimensional image through two or more convex portions 71A.

[0037] The output image of the lighting device according to the change in the shape and size of the opening 53 disclosed in FIG. 25(A) is different from the output image of the lighting device according to the change in the gap G1 between the light-shielding layer 51 and the lens plate 70. Here, one region of the opening 53 of the light-shielding layer 51 may be disposed at the shortest distance from the upper end of the light-emitting element 21. The shortest distance may be equal to or less than the thickness of the resin layer 31. The position of the opening 53 of the light-shielding layer 51 may be formed within a distance of up to 15 mm or up to 12 mm from the center of the light-emitting element 21 in the emission direction (Y direction, forward direction or lateral direction) of the light-emitting element 21, and may be ±7.5 mm or less or 6 mm or less from the center of the light-emitting element 21 in the direction perpendicular to the emission direction (X direction, lateral direction or vertical direction). The horizontal or vertical size of the opening 53 may be disposed in the range of n1×m1 to n2×m2, where n1 and m1 are 2 mm or more, and n2 and m2 are 15 mm or less. The opening 53 may be arranged with each light emitting element 21 in a one-to-one or many-to-one relationship, and the stereoscopic image may be 1:n (n is 2 or more). In this way, when the opening 53 and each light emitting element 21 are arranged in a one-to-one relationship, a plurality of stereoscopic images can be realized with a minimum number of light emitting elements 21 by utilizing the shape of the opening 53 and the number of convex portions 71A, and when the opening 53 and each light emitting element 21 are arranged in a many-to-one relationship, a stereoscopic image can be realized with a minimum number of light emitting elements 21, and the number and luminance of the output image can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the opening 53. It can be seen that when only the horizontal size is changed in the range from 2mm×2mm to 10mm×2mm in the horizontal and vertical sizes of the opening 53 disclosed in the above embodiment, the output image also increases in the horizontal direction. It can also be seen that when only the vertical size is changed in the range from 2mm×2mm to 2mm×10mm in the horizontal and vertical sizes of the opening 53, the output image also increases in the vertical direction and in the thickness direction. That is, when the size of the opening 53 increases in the same direction as the arrangement direction of the stereoscopic image (horizontal direction), the thickness of the image increases, and when the opening 53 increases in the opposite direction to the arrangement direction (vertical direction), the image at the center appears in a straight line. As a result, the number of stereoscopic images can be realized without using a separate diffusion plate or diffusion film between the light-shielding layer 51 and the lens plate 70.Also, the number of the openings can be increased to adjust the number of the stereoscopic images. The gap G1 between the light-shielding layer 51 and the lens plate 70 can be provided by diffusing the light emitted through the openings 53 as the height of the first air layer 55. The area where the light is incident on the lens plate 70 increases according to the gap G1, and the stereoscopic image is output through two or more convex portions 71A. Here, the gap G1 is provided in the range of 1 mm to 20 mm, and it can be seen that the output image is larger when the gap G1 is from 0 mm to 14 mm. For example, the output image is output in the range of 2 to 5 times or 3 to 5 times the gap G1. The output image may be an area having a luminous intensity higher than the average value. The length of the stereoscopic image can be adjusted by adjusting the gap G1.
