By adding an amount of 40 wt% or more or in the range of 40 wt% to 60 wt%, The color on the surface of the resin layer 140 is provided by the color of the phosphor, and the diffusion and wave of light are prevented. In addition, the second resin layer 140 can improve the long-term conversion efficiency of the light emitting device 120. It can reduce the transmission of wavelengths of light emitted from the The light extracted through the resin layer 140 is provided as a surface light source according to the wavelength of the phosphor. The second resin layer 140 may be provided to have a thickness thinner than that of the first resin layer 130 . If the second resin layer 140 is too thick, the light transmittance decreases, and if it is too thin, the wavelength conversion efficiency decreases. This sometimes happens.

[0024] The thickness of the second resin layer 140 may be in the range of, for example, 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. The thickness of the second resin layer 140 is 25% or less of the thickness of the first resin layer 130, for example. For example, the thickness of the second resin layer 140 may be in the range of 16% to 25%. If the thickness is greater than this range, the light extraction efficiency may decrease or the module thickness may increase. If it is smaller than this range, it may be difficult to suppress hot spots or the wavelength conversion efficiency may decrease. In addition, the second resin layer 140 is a layer for wavelength conversion and external protection, and has a thickness within the above range. If it is too thick, the flexibility and design freedom of the module may be reduced. The phosphor or quantum dots added to the second resin layer 140 emit amber light, yellow light, and (low) light, green light, red light or blue light. can.

[0025] The second resin layer 140 includes a phosphor, so that the external color is the color of the phosphor. The surface of the second resin layer 140 or the surface of the lighting module may be When the element 120 is off, a red image is provided, and when the element 120 is on, a red image is provided. In this case, red light having a predetermined luminous intensity is diffused and provided as a red image of the surface light source. When the light element 120 is turned on or off, the color coordinates of the surface color are The second resin layer 140 may have different values ​​within the color hue. The fluorescent material and the ink particles can have the same wavelength. or the same color may be one of the colors of the phosphor. The content of the phosphor in the second resin layer 140 may be 23 wt % or less. For example, the range is 12 wt% to 23 wt%, and the content of the ink particles is 3 wt% or more. For example, the weight of the ink particles may be in the range of 3 wt % to 13 wt %. Since the ink particles are smaller in weight than the phosphor, they are more likely to adhere to the surface of the second resin layer 140 than to the phosphor. The color of the surface of the second resin layer 140 can be distributed in the area adjacent to the surface. The effect is provided by the color of the ink particles. These ink particles can suppress the transmission of light. If the ink particles are red, the hot spots can be reduced. When the light elements 120 are not lit, the exterior surface of the lighting module 100 appears red. The light module 100 appears red whether the light is on or off, so color difference The second resin layer 140 can prevent the appearance of a foreign texture due to the addition of a phosphor. The ink may include a first layer and a second layer to which the ink particles are added, and the first layer may include the first The second layer having the ink particles is separately deposited between the resin layer 130 and the second layer. By layering, the phosphor content of the first layer can be reduced.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2, the second resin layer 140 is formed on the first resin layer 130. 141 and a second region 143 disposed on the side of the first resin layer 130. The first region 141 of the second resin layer 140 is arranged such that N light emitting elements 12 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 110. The first region 141 of the second resin layer 140 can overlap with a part of the first region 141 of the second resin layer 140. The light emitting element 120 is disposed on the outermost edge of the substrate 110. The first region 141 of the second resin layer 140 may be formed so as not to burlap. The first region 141 of the second resin layer 140 may be disposed parallel to the upper surface of the first region 141 of the second resin layer 140. The width of the second resin layer 14 may be smaller than the width of the substrate 110 in the first and second directions. The edge of the first region 141 of the substrate 110 may be located inside the side surface of the substrate 110. The first region 141 of the second resin layer 140 may include a flat surface.

[0027] The second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 is formed from the edge of the first region 141 of the second resin layer 140. The second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 extends from the first region 143 toward the substrate 110. The second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 may include a curved surface that bulges outward. The second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 is disposed on the outermost edge of the upper portion of the substrate 110. The light emitting element 120 may be formed to overlap the substrate 110 in the vertical direction. The first region 141 can be defined as a flat portion or an upper surface portion. 43 can be defined as a side surface portion or a curved surface portion. The thickness of the first region 141 and the thickness of the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 are formed to correspond to each other. However, the thickness of the first region 141 is not limited to this. The thickness of the second region 143 may be the thickness in the direction or the perpendicular distance. It may be the horizontal distance from the outer surface of 140 to the outer surface of the second region 43.

[0028] As described above, the second resin layer 140 is formed so that the side surface has a curved surface. The distance between the corner region of the resin layer 140 and the light emitting element 120 arranged on the outermost edge of the substrate 100 is As a result, the second resin layer 140 can be divided into the first region 141 and the second region In the above, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dark lines at the boundary surface between the light emitting element 143. The explanation focused on the arrangement structure of the resin layer, the layer containing phosphor and ink particles, but the removal of dark lines and In order to improve the uniformity of light, the distance between the light emitting element and the phosphor layer, the second region of the phosphor layer, The relationship between the radius of curvature of the resin layer and the thickness of the phosphor layer plays an important role.

[0029] Therefore, the detailed specifications of each component of the lighting module will be explained in more detail below. As shown in FIG. 3, the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 has a curved surface. The second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 may include a first point P1, a second point P2, The first point P1, the second point P2 and the third point P3 may be included. 3 may be a point on the outer surface of the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140. The light emitting elements 120 include a first light emitting element 121, and the first light emitting element 121 includes a plurality of The light emitting elements are arranged around the outer edge of the first resin layer 120 or on the side of the first resin layer 120. The first point P1 may be a light emitting element adjacent to the first resin layer 130. The second resin layer 140 is positioned horizontally from the center C1 of the first light emitting element 121 that is closest to the surface. The third point P3 may be a region in contact with the outer surface of the region 143. A vertical line from the center C1 of the second resin layer 140 and an area in contact with the outer surface of the second area 143 of the second resin layer 140 are The horizontal direction may be a direction parallel to or horizontal to the upper surface of the substrate 110, The vertical direction may be a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the substrate 110. P2 is any point between the first point P1 and the third point P3 of the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140. It may be one area.

[0030] A first distance L1 between the center C1 of the first light emitting element 121 and a first point P1; a second distance L2 from the center C1 of the first light-emitting element 121 to the second point P2; The third distance L3 from the center C1 to the third point P3 may be formed differently. The third distance L3 from the center C1 of the first light emitting element 121 to the third point P3 is A first distance L1 between the center C1 of the light emitting element 121 and the first point P1, and The distance L2 from the center C1 of the first portion to the second point P2 may be greater than the second distance L2. The second distance L2 between the center C1 of the first light emitting element 121 and the second point P2 is The distance L1 from the center C1 of the first portion C1 to the first point P1 may be greater than the first distance L1. In the following, the second distance L2 between the center C1 of the first light emitting element 121 and the second point P2 is The third distance L3 between the center C1 of the element 121 and the third point P3 and the center C1 of the first light-emitting element 121 The distance L2 between C1 and the first point P1 is significantly greater than the first distance L2. A problem occurred in which a dark line appeared at point P2. The second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 is curved so as to reduce the second distance L2 between the second points P2. By forming the second resin layer 140 so as to have a surface, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dark lines on the second resin layer 140. In addition, in the embodiment, the difference between the first distance L1, the second distance L2, and the third distance L3 is By forming a curved surface so that there is almost no unevenness, the light uniformity on the side surface of the second resin layer 140 can be improved. In addition, the light uniformity between the top surface and the side surface of the second resin layer 140 can be improved. In reality, there are differences in the distance values ​​of the first distance L1, the second distance L2, and the third distance L3, but the second tree The difference in distance between the upper and side surfaces of the fat layer 140 is very small, so it is bright when viewed from the outside. It's hard to recognize the difference in degree.

[0031] The first distance L1 between the center C1 of the first light emitting element 121 and the first point P1 is 0. The first light emitting element 121 and the adjacent light emitting element The light emitting element 120 is arranged so that the distance L4 between the light emitting element 120 and the light emitting element 120 is 5.5 mm to 6.5 mm. The distance L4 between the first light emitting element 121 and the adjacent light emitting element is 6.5 m. If the thickness exceeds m, a hot spot will occur in the area where the light emitting element 120 is located when viewed from the outside. The first distance L1 between the center C1 of the first light emitting element 121 and the first point P1 is , the first light emitting element 121 is spaced apart from the light emitting element 120 so as to be 44% to 55% of the fourth distance L4 between the light emitting elements 120. For example, the distance between the center C1 of the first light emitting element 121 and the first point P1 can be The first distance L1 is determined to be approximately 3 mm. The first distance L1 between the light-emitting elements 120 is less than 44% or 55% of the fourth distance L4 between the light-emitting elements 120. %, the light emitted through the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 becomes too bright. Alternatively, the image may appear dark, resulting in a problem of reduced light uniformity.

[0032] The radius of curvature R of the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 is The radius of curvature R of the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 is determined by the thickness of the second region 143. The thickness t1 of the first resin layer 130 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 110 and the thickness t2 of the first region 1 of the second resin layer 140 are For example, the thickness t2 of the second resin layer 14 may be larger than or equal to the sum of the thicknesses t1 and t2 of the second resin layer 14. The radius of curvature R of the second region 143 is the thickness of the first resin layer 130 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 110. The thickness t1 of the first region 141 of the second resin layer 140 is set to 100% to 110% of the sum of the thickness t2 of the first region 141 of the second resin layer 140 and the thickness t2 of the first region 141 of the second resin layer 140. Here, the thickness t1 of the first resin layer 130 is 3.5 mm to 5 mm. The thickness t2 of the first region 141 of the second resin layer 140 may be 0.5 mm or less, for example For example, the thickness of the second resin layer 14 may be in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. The radius of curvature R of the second region 143 may be 5.5 mm to 6.0 mm. Therefore, when the thickness t2 of the first region 141 of the second resin layer 140 is less than 0.5 mm, the optical efficiency is low. The second resin layer 140 has a first region 141 and a second region 142. The fourth point P4 may be formed on the outer surface of the second resin layer 140. Furthermore, a fifth point P The fourth point P4 of the second resin layer 140 and the fifth point P5 of the substrate 110 may be included. The distance L5 between the first point P1 of the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 and the first light-emitting element 1 21. Also, the distance between the fourth point P4 of the second resin layer 140 and the The distance L5 between the fifth points P5 of the substrate 110 is determined by the curvature of the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140. It may be formed to be smaller than or equal to the radius R.

[0033] The second resin layer 140 has a seventh region where the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 and the substrate 110 are in contact. The seventh point P7 may include a point P7. The seventh point P7 may include a point P7. It may be the inner surface of the second resin layer 140 that is in contact with the first resin layer 130. The distance L7 between the seventh point P7 of the second region 143 and the side surface of the light emitting element 120 is The distance L4 between the electrodes 120 may be smaller than the distance L5 between the electrodes 120. The distance from the point P5 to the seventh point P7 is greater than the distance from the first light emitting element 121 to the curved line. The illumination modules may be arranged in an area smaller than or equal to the radius R. The radius of curvature R of the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 is determined by various conditions of the mold 100. will be done.

The distance L10 to the tenth point P10 of the corner region 137 is 1 to the ninth point P9 of the first resin layer 130. As a result, the light emitted from the corner region 137 of the first resin layer 130 passes through the first The light emitted from the first side surface 133 and the second side surface 135 has the same brightness. .

[0037] As shown in FIG. 6, the outer surface of the corner region 137 of the first resin layer 130 is It can include an eleventh point P11, which is the shortest distance from the center C1 perpendicular to the substrate 110. Therefore, the linear distance L11 from the center C1 of the first light emitting element 121 to the eleventh point P11 is The distance L10 from the center C1 of the first light emitting element 121 to the tenth point P10 is greater than the distance L10. That is, the corner regions 137 of the first resin layer 130 may be formed in the same manner as the side surfaces of the first resin layer 130. The distance from the first light emitting element 121 increases toward the upper surface of the first resin layer 130. The lighting module of the first embodiment can be realized by forming the boundary area between the surfaces into a curved surface. It can be seen that the occurrence of dark lines can be prevented. By forming the light source so as to have a uniform light intensity, it can be seen that the light intensity of the lighting module is uniform overall. do.

The other end of the second resin layer 140 may contact the upper surface of the substrate 110. The height h1 of the region 145 may be smaller than the height h2 of the light emitting element 120. In this example, the thickness of the first region 141 of the second resin layer 140 and the thickness of the second region 143 of the second resin layer 143 are The thickness of the second resin layer 140 and the thickness of the third region 145 of the second resin layer 140 can be formed to correspond to each other. The second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 has a first point P1, a second point P2, and a third point P3. The first point P1, the second point P2, and the third point P3 may include a second tree. The first point P1 may be the outer surface of the second region 143 of the resin layer 140. The distance from the center C1 of the light emitting element 120 disposed so as to be closest to the side of the substrate 110 is It may also be a region that contacts the outer surface of the second region 143 of the second resin layer 140 in the horizontal direction. The first point P1 is a region where the second region 143 and the third region 145 of the second resin layer 140 contact each other.

The fifth point P5 can be included on the substrate 110 at the shortest distance. The distance L5 between the fourth point P4 and the fifth point P5 of the substrate 110 is 143 from the first point P1 to the first light emitting element 121. The distance L5 between the fourth point P4 of the second resin layer 140 and the fifth point P5 of the substrate 110 is The radius of curvature R of the second region 143 of the layer 140 may be smaller than or equal to the radius of curvature R of the second region 143 of the layer 140.

The first cover 210 and the second cover 220 are connected to each other with a predetermined curvature. The cover and the second cover 210, 220 are provided to cover the area other than the light-emitting area of ​​the lighting module 100. The light emitting region can be supported and fixed by a first resin layer on the light emitting element 120.

The area of ​​the upper surface of the substrate 110 may be larger than the area of ​​the lower surface of the first resin layer 130. The outer edge of the plate 110 may extend further outward from each edge of the first resin layer 130. The length D2 of the outer edge of the upper surface of the substrate 110 is the distance from the side surface of the second resin layer 130 to the substrate edge. The distance to the front may be 0.1 times or more the thickness of the lighting module. The length D2 of the outer edge portion may be 1 mm or less, for example, in the range of 0.3 mm to 1 mm. If the thickness is smaller than the range, there is no supporting effect, and if the thickness is larger than the range, material loss and molybdenum may occur.

The material may include a hook or a locking rib structure. The thickness of the second cover 220 is The thickness of the first cover 210 is greater than the thickness of the first cover 210, and the thickness of the second cover 210 is greater than the thickness of the first cover 210. This will happen.

[0046] The second cover 220 has a substrate support portion 221 and a substrate support portion 222 below the substrate 110. The substrate support 221 may include a coupling portion 223 below the substrate 11. The substrate support portion 221 may be disposed under the substrate 110 and bonded to the substrate 110. The substrate 110 has a top width or top area that is larger than the bottom width D1 or bottom area of ​​the substrate 110, The connecting portion 223 is formed from the substrate support portion 221 with a stepped structure. The connecting portion 223 is provided with a hook or a The first cover 210 has a locking groove structure and is connected to the side cover part 213. The support portion may have a support protrusion 235 disposed thereon, but is not limited to this. The first cover 210 and the second cover 211 may have one or more support protrusions.
