Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a light-emitting device, a lighting fixture, and a street lamp.
Background Art
[0002] Light sources of lighting fixtures installed outdoors such as street lamps and road lighting lamps have a longer lifespan and higher efficiency than incandescent bulbs. Therefore, HID lamps such as high-pressure mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, and high-pressure sodium lamps are widely used. The light sources using these lamps use mercury in the light-emitting material, and with the regulations of the Minamata Convention on mercury, there is a demand for alternatives to lighting fixtures using safe light-emitting materials.
[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a street lamp lighting fixture in which a lighting LED is arranged at the center, a viewing LED having a lower brightness than the lighting LED or a wide viewing angle is arranged outside the lighting LED, a partition wall for partitioning between the lighting LED and the viewing LED is arranged, and a lighting opening for emitting lighting light is formed at the open end of the partition wall.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] Light emitted from a luminaire used outdoors may stimulate the vision of a driver or a pedestrian of a moving vehicle, causing glare that gives a feeling of discomfort or difficulty in seeing things. Glare is a sensation caused by an inappropriate luminance distribution and an extreme luminance contrast within the visual field, and is accompanied by discomfort and a decrease in the ability to see (JIS Z9110). Luminaires used outdoors are required to not overly stimulate the vision of a driver or a pedestrian of a moving vehicle and to make it easier to see things. Luminaires used outdoors include, in addition to streetlights and road lighting fixtures installed outdoors, for example, headlights that can be worn on a person's head, flashlights, or portable lanterns using LEDs, for which outdoor use is assumed. Also, even for luminaires used indoors but assumed to be used in locations near the outdoors such as near entrances or windows, it is desired to reduce glare. An aspect of the present invention aims to provide a light-emitting device, a luminaire, and a streetlight capable of reducing glare.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments shown below are examples for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following light-emitting devices, lighting fixtures, and streetlights. Also, the members shown in the claims are by no means limited to the members of the embodiments. In particular, the dimensions, materials, shapes, relative arrangements, etc. of the components described in the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention only to those, but are merely illustrative examples. Note that the relationship between color names and chromaticity coordinates, the relationship between the wavelength range of light and the color names of monochromatic light, etc. follow JIS Z8110. In this specification, the content of each component in the composition means the total amount of the plurality of substances present in the composition when there are a plurality of substances corresponding to each component in the composition, unless otherwise specified. The full width at half maximum means the wavelength width of the emission peak showing the emission intensity of 50% of the maximum emission intensity in the emission spectrum.
[0017] The light-emitting device according to the first embodiment is a light-emitting device including a light-emitting element having an emission peak wavelength in the range of 400 nm or more and 490 nm or less, and a first phosphor having an emission peak wavelength in the range of 570 nm or more and 680 nm or less. The light-emitting device has a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 1950 K or less, an average color rendering evaluation index Ra of 51 or more, a full width at half maximum of an emission peak having the maximum emission intensity in the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device of 110 nm or less. Taking the luminance of the light emission of the light-emitting device in the range of 380 nm or more and 780 nm or less into consideration of the photopic standard relative luminous efficiency defined by the CIE (International Commission on Illumination) as L, and taking the first effective radiant luminance Ls1 of the light emission of the light-emitting device in the range of 380 nm or more and 780 nm or less into consideration of the photopic standard relative luminous efficiency of the human and the sensitivity of the S cones of the human, the first glare index Ls1 / L of the first effective radiant luminance Ls1 with respect to the luminance L defined by the following formula (1) is 0.493 or less, and emits light.
[0018] [Number] (In formula (1), S(λ) is the spectral radiant luminance of the light emission of the light-emitting device, V(λ) is the photopic standard relative luminous efficiency curve defined by the CIE (International Commission on Illumination), and Gs(λ) is the spectral sensitivity of the S cones of the human in the range where the wavelength λ nm is 380 nm or more and 550 nm or less.)
[0019] For example, high-pressure sodium lamps, which are used as light sources for outdoor fixtures such as street lamps and road lighting fixtures, have a correlated color temperature of about 2,000 K to 2,500 K in catalog values and emit light with a large amount of yellow to orange components. As light sources for outdoor fixtures, light sources such as HID lamps, halogen lamps, and light-emitting devices using LEDs are used depending on characteristics such as luminous flux and energy. Due to differences in light sources, glare that causes a dazzling and uncomfortable feeling and apparent brightness are different. Non-Patent Document 1 discloses that LED light sources with a high color temperature of, for example, 6,600 K are evaluated as dazzling by humans regardless of whether they are elderly or non-elderly (Non-Patent Document 1: Hiroshi Hashimoto et al., "Influence of Color Temperature Difference of White LEDs on Dazzle," Japan Automobile Research Institute, Inc., Preventive Safety Research Department, October 2006, Automobile Research, Vol. 28, No. 10, pp. 569 to 572). Glare that makes humans feel uncomfortable also differs depending on a decrease in human retinal illuminance and deterioration of rod cells, and the degree of dazzle may change depending on a human's age. Among cone cells, which are photoreceptor cells present in the human retina, S cones respond to short-wavelength light. S cones have a peak wavelength of sensitivity at around 440 nm. Non-Patent Document 2 discloses the following formula (3) for a new spectral luminous efficiency V K (λ) corresponding to glare, which takes into account the spectral sensitivity Gs(λ) of human S cones at wavelength λ in the photopic standard luminosity curve V(λ) of humans used in the side-light system of the CIE1931 color system (Non-Patent Document 2: Shoji Kobayashi et al., "Research on the Influence of Spectral Distribution of Headlamp Light Sources on Uncomfortable Glare," Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc., Preprint of Academic Lecture, Nos. 5 to 10, pp. 9 to 14).
[0020]
Equation
[0021] Figure 1A shows the spectral sensitivity Gs(λ) of the human S cones disclosed in Non-Patent Document 2. Based on Figure 1A, the numerical values of the spectral sensitivity Gs(λ) of the human S cones can be derived. The spectral sensitivity Gs(λ) of the human S cones has a peak of spectral sensitivity within the range of 380 nm or more and 550 nm or less. Figure 1B shows the human photopic standard relative luminous efficiency curve V(λ) defined by the CIE and disclosed in Non-Patent Document 2. The relative values shown in Figures 1A to 1C are values with the peak top of the human photopic standard relative luminous efficiency curve V(λ) defined by the CIE set to 1. Based on Figure 1B, the numerical values of the human photopic standard relative luminous efficiency curve V(λ) defined by the CIE can be derived. Figure 1C is a curve corresponding to V K (λ):K = 1.260, and is an example of the spectral luminous efficiency V K (λ) that takes into account the human photopic standard relative luminous efficiency curve defined by the CIE and the spectral sensitivity of the human S cones corresponding to glare. K is a coefficient that determines the proportion contributed by the spectral sensitivity Gs(λ) of the human S cones.
[0022] The luminance L of the light emission of the light-emitting device is derived by the following formula (4). The luminance L of the light emission of the light-emitting device is the integrated value of the spectral radiance S(λ) of the light-emitting device in the range of 380 nm or more and 780 nm or less and the human photopic standard relative luminous efficiency curve V(λ) defined by the CIE.
[0023]
Equation
[0024] The first effective radiance Ls1 of the light emission of the light-emitting device is derived by the following formula (5). The first effective radiance Ls1 of the light emission of the light-emitting device is the integrated value of the spectral radiance S(λ) of the light-emitting device in the range of 380 nm or more and 780 nm or less and the human spectral luminous efficiency V K (λ)(= 1.260 × Gs(λ) + V(λ)) corresponding to glare represented by the above formula (3), divided by 2.3 which is the peak top of V K (λ) derived by the above formula (3) using the coefficient K(= 1.260) in the case of an incandescent lamp.
[0025]
Number
[0026] The first glare index Ls1 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device is the ratio of the first effective emission luminance Ls1 of the light emission of the light-emitting device considering the CIE-defined photopic standard relative sensitivity curve of the human eye and the spectral sensitivity of the human S cone to the luminance L of the light emission of the light-emitting device considering the CIE-defined photopic standard relative sensitivity curve of the human eye. The first glare index Ls1 / L represents the degree of glare of the light emission of the light-emitting device.
[0027] The light-emitting device of the first embodiment is a light-emitting device including a light-emitting element having a light emission peak wavelength in the range of 400 nm or more and 490 nm or less, and a first phosphor having a light emission peak wavelength in the range of 570 nm or more and 680 nm or less, and the light-emitting device emits light in which the first glare index Ls1 / L derived from the formula (1) is 0.493 or less.
[0028] If the first glare index Ls1 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device is 0.493 or less, light that reduces glare that makes a human feel dazzling and uncomfortable can be emitted from the light-emitting device provided in, for example, a luminaire used outdoors. If the first glare index Ls1 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device is 0.493 or less, even when the luminaire is not equipped with two types of LEDs, namely, a lighting LED and a viewing LED with a lower luminance or a wide viewing angle than the lighting LED, light with reduced glare can be emitted. When the first glare index Ls1 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device exceeds 0.493, light approaching the luminance L of the light emission of the light-emitting device that does not consider the spectral sensitivity of the S cones of the human eye is emitted. For example, as the light emitted from a luminaire used outdoors, a human feels dazzling and the glare is not reduced. For example, as a light-emitting device provided in a luminaire used outdoors or a luminaire used indoors in a place near outdoors such as near a window, in order to reduce the glare that makes a human feel dazzling and uncomfortable, the first glare index Ls1 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device is preferably 0.492 or less, may be 0.490 or less, or may be 0.485 or less. Considering the spectral sensitivity of the S cones of the human eye, the first glare index Ls1 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device may be 0.100 or more, or may be 0.200 or more.
[0029] The light-emitting device that emits light with the first glare index Ls1 / L of 0.493 or less preferably emits light with the second glare index Ls2 / L of 1.082 or less, which will be described later. The light-emitting device that emits light with the first glare index Ls1 / L of 0.492 or less and the second glare index Ls2 / L of 1.082 or less, which will be described later, can reduce the glare that makes a human feel dazzling and uncomfortable, whether looking at a relatively narrow range of areas or a relatively wide range of areas.
[0030] The light-emitting device according to the third embodiment is a light-emitting device including a light-emitting element having an emission peak wavelength in the range of 400 nm or more and 490 nm or less, and a first phosphor having an emission peak wavelength in the range of 570 nm or more and 680 nm or less. The light-emitting device has a correlated color temperature of 1950 K or less, an average color rendering evaluation index Ra of 51 or more, a full width at half maximum of an emission peak having the maximum emission intensity in the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device of 110 nm or less. Taking the luminance of the light emission of the light-emitting device in the range of 380 nm or more and 780 nm or less into account the photopic standard specific sensitivity of humans defined by the CIE (International Commission on Illumination) as L, and the second effective radiant luminance Ls2 of the light emission of the light-emitting device in the range of 380 nm or more and 780 nm or less taking into account the photopic standard specific sensitivity of humans and the sensitivity of the S cones of humans when shifted by -10 degrees to +10 degrees with respect to the central visual field angle defined by the CIE, when the second glare index Ls2 / L of the second effective radiant luminance Ls2 with respect to the luminance L defined by the following formula (2) is 1.082 or less, it emits light.
[0031]
Equation
[0032] The glare that humans feel dazzling and uncomfortable also varies depending on the size of the area that humans see. In the CIE1931 color system, a relatively narrow field of view with an angle subtended at the human eye (viewing angle) of about 1 degree to about 4 degrees is also called the 2-degree field of view equal-energy function, and a relatively wide field of view exceeding a viewing angle of 4 degrees is also called the 10-degree field of view equal-energy function. In Non-Patent Document 3, the photopic standard visual sensitivity curve V at a viewing angle of 10 degrees used in the side-light system of the CIE1931 color system 10(λ) (the photopic standard sensitivity curve when shifted by -10 degrees to +10 degrees with respect to the central visual field angle defined by the CIE), the spectral sensitivity Gs(λ) of the human S cones at wavelength λ, and the spectral visual sensitivity V corresponding to glare, considering the viewing angle coefficient k with respect to the central visual field angle DG (λ) is disclosed in the following formula (6) (Non-Patent Document 3: J.D. Bullough, “Spectral sensitivity for extrafoveal discomfort glare”, Journal of Modern Optics, vol. 56, No. 13, 20 July 2009, 1518 - 1522). Non-Patent Document 3 discloses that the constant k at a viewing angle of 10 degrees is 0.75. FIG. 2 shows the spectral visual sensitivity V corresponding to glare considering a viewing angle of 10 degrees with respect to the central visual field angle disclosed in Non-Patent Document 3 DG (λ) is an illustration.
[0033]
Equation
[0034] The second effective radiance Ls2 of the light-emitting device considering the human viewing angle when viewing a relatively wide area is derived by the following formula (7). The second effective radiance Ls2 is the spectral radiance S(λ) of the light-emitting device in the range of 380 nm or more and 780 nm or less, and the human spectral visual sensitivity V corresponding to glare considering a viewing angle of 10 degrees for viewing a relatively wide area represented by the above formula (6) DG (λ) (= 0.75 × Gs(λ) + V 10 (λ)) and is the integral value.
[0035]
Equation
[0036] The second glare index Ls2 / L of the light-emitting device is the CIE-defined human photopic standard specific sensitivity curve V considering a human viewing angle of 10 degrees for viewing a relatively wide area with respect to the luminance L of the light emission of the light-emitting device considering the CIE-defined human photopic standard specific sensitivity curve10 It is the ratio of the second effective radiance Ls2 of the light emission of a light-emitting device considering the spectral sensitivity of the human S cones when viewing (λ) and a relatively wide area (viewing angle 10 degrees). The second glare index Ls2 / L indicates the degree of glare of the light emission of the light-emitting device when viewing a relatively wide area.
[0037] If the second glare index Ls2 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device is 1.082 or less, even when viewing a relatively wide range of areas, light that reduces the glare that humans feel dazzling and uncomfortable is emitted from the light-emitting device. If the second glare index Ls2 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device is 1.082 or less, there are no two types of LEDs, namely, an illumination LED and a viewing LED with a lower luminance or a wide directivity angle than the illumination LED, provided in the luminaire, and even when viewing a relatively wide area, light with reduced glare can be emitted. When the second glare index Ls2 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device exceeds 1.082, as the light emitted from a luminaire used outdoors, for example, or a luminaire used indoors in a location close to the outdoors such as near a window, humans feel dazzling and the glare is not reduced. For example, for a light-emitting device provided in a luminaire used outdoors or indoors in a location close to the outdoors and thus requiring viewing of a relatively wide area, in order to reduce the glare that humans feel dazzling and uncomfortable, the second glare index Ls2 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device is preferably 1.081 or less, more preferably 1.080 or less, and may also be 1.079 or less. Considering the spectral sensitivity of the human S cones, the second glare index Ls2 / L of the light emission of the light-emitting device may be 0.200 or more or 0.500 or more.
[0038] The light-emitting device emits light with a correlated color temperature of 1950 K or less. The light-emitting device emits light with a correlated color temperature that is about the same as or slightly lower than the light emitted by, for example, a high-pressure sodium lamp. When the correlated color temperature of the light emitted by the light-emitting device is 1950 K or less, even when the light-emitting device is used as a light source for outdoor luminaires such as streetlights and road lights that use a high-pressure sodium lamp as a light source, light that does not cause a sense of discomfort is emitted. The correlated color temperature of the light emitted from the light-emitting device may be 1920 K or less, or may be 1900 K or less. In order for the light emitted from the light-emitting device not to cause a sense of discomfort to humans as the light emitted from, for example, an outdoor luminaire, the correlated color temperature is preferably 1000 K or more, may be 1200 K or more, may be 1500 K or more, or may be 1700 K or more.
[0039] The average color rendering evaluation number Ra of the light emission of the light-emitting device may be 5 or more, may be 10 or more, may be 20 or more, may be 30 or more, may be 40 or more, is preferably 51 or more, and more preferably 62 or more. The average color rendering evaluation number of the light emission of the light-emitting device can be measured in accordance with JIS Z8726. The closer the value of the average color rendering evaluation number Ra of the light emission of the light-emitting device is to 100, the closer the color rendering property is to that of a reference light source. Color rendering property represents the degree of how an irradiated object looks. Outdoor luminaires such as streetlights and road lights only need to emit light with an average color rendering evaluation number Ra of 5 or more, and may emit light with an average color rendering evaluation number Ra of more than 30 and less than 40.
[0040] The special color rendering evaluation number R9 of the light emission of the light-emitting device is an index for evaluating red. Light-emitting devices used in luminaires installed in outdoor or indoor locations that are close to the outdoors, such as streetlights and road lights, often have little need to confirm red. The special color rendering evaluation number R9 of the light emission of the light-emitting device may be a negative value. The special color rendering evaluation number R9 of the light emission of the light-emitting device may be within the range of -150 or more and +99 or less, may be within the range of -140 or more and +98 or less, or may be within the range of -135 or more and 95 or less.
[0041] The light-emitting device has a full width at half maximum of a light-emitting peak having the maximum light-emitting intensity in the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device of 110 nm or less, which may be 100 nm or less, 95 nm or less, 90 nm or less, 3 nm or more, 40 nm or more, 60 nm or more, or 70 nm or more. In the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device, if the full width at half maximum of the light-emitting peak having the maximum light-emitting intensity is large, the component of light on the long-wavelength side that is difficult for humans to perceive tends to increase, or the component of light on the short-wavelength side that is likely to cause dazzling glare tends to increase. When the component of light on the long-wavelength side increases, the luminance of the light emitted from the light-emitting device tends to decrease. When the component of light on the short-wavelength side increases, it tends to cause discomfort and reduce the ability to see. Also, in the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device, if the full width at half maximum of the light-emitting peak having the maximum light-emitting intensity is small, the component of light in a specific wavelength range tends to increase. In the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device, when the light-emitting peak having the maximum light-emitting intensity is on the short-wavelength side, the short-wavelength emission that is likely to cause dazzling glare is not suppressed, making it difficult to reduce glare. Further, in the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device, when the light-emitting peak having the maximum light-emitting intensity is on the long-wavelength side and the component of light on the long-wavelength side that is difficult for humans to perceive increases, it becomes difficult to suppress the decrease in luminance. In order to provide a light-emitting device that emits light with reduced glare, it is preferable that the full width at half maximum of the light-emitting peak having the maximum light-emitting intensity in the emission spectrum is 110 nm or less.
[0042] The full width at half maximum of the emission peak having the maximum emission intensity in the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device may be narrower than the full width at half maximum of the emission peak having the emission peak wavelength of the first phosphor provided in the light-emitting device or the full width at half maximum of the emission peak having the emission peak wavelength of the second phosphor. For example, when the first phosphor and the second phosphor having emission peak wavelengths in different wavelength ranges are provided, the emission intensity of the overlapping portion of the emission spectrum of the first phosphor and the emission spectrum of the second phosphor changes, and as a result, the emission spectrum of the mixed-color light emitted from the light-emitting device is different from the emission spectrum of the first phosphor or the emission spectrum of the second phosphor, and may be narrower than the full width at half maximum of the emission peak having the emission peak wavelength of the first phosphor or the full width at half maximum of the emission peak having the emission peak wavelength of the second phosphor.
[0043] It is preferable that the emission peak wavelength having the maximum emission intensity in the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device is in the range of 570 nm or more and 680 nm or less, may be in the range of 575 nm or more and 680 nm or less, and may be in the range of 575 nm or more and 670 nm or less.

Thereby, the light-emitting device has a correlated color temperature that does not give a sense of incongruity when illuminating the outdoors, satisfies the color rendering property required for the light for illuminating the outdoors, and emits light with reduced glare. At least a part of the light emission of the light-emitting element is used as excitation light for the first phosphor, and when the second phosphor is included, it is used as excitation light for the second phosphor. Also, a part of the light emission of the light-emitting element is used as the light emitted from the light-emitting device. The full width at half maximum of the emission peak having the emission peak wavelength in the emission spectrum of the light-emitting element is preferably 30 nm or less, more preferably 25 nm or less, and still more preferably 20 nm or less. As the light-emitting element, for example, a semiconductor light-emitting element using a nitride-based semiconductor is preferably used.

The full width at half maximum having the emission peak wavelength in the emission spectrum of the first phosphor is preferably in the range of 3 nm or more and 15 nm or less, or in the range of 60 nm or more and 120 nm or less.

[0064] The light-emitting device preferably emits light having a color deviation Duv, which is a deviation from the blackbody radiation locus, of -0.008 or more and +0.008 or less. The color deviation Duv is a deviation from the blackbody radiation locus of the light emitted from the light-emitting device and is measured in accordance with JIS Z8725. Even when the correlated color temperature is relatively low, such as 1950 K or less, if the color deviation Duv from the blackbody radiation locus (Duv = 0.000) on the CIE1931 chromaticity diagram is within the range of -0.008 or more and +0.008 or less, light that makes the color of the irradiated object natural and does not give a sense of discomfort is emitted from the light-emitting device. The light-emitting device preferably emits light having a color deviation Duv, which is a deviation from the blackbody radiation locus of 1950 K or less, within the range of -0.008 or more and +0.008 or less, more preferably within the range of -0.006 or more and +0.006 or less, and even more preferably within the range of -0.003 or more and +0.003 or less.

Figure 3B shows a partially enlarged view of Figure 3A, showing the black body radiation locus in the range where the x value of the chromaticity coordinates in the CIE1931 chromaticity diagram is 0.300 or more and 0.600 or less and the y value is 0.250 or more and 0.500 or less, and the color deviation from the black body radiation locus, the loci of Duv = -0.020, Duv = -0.010, Duv = -0.008, Duv = +0.008, Duv = +0.010, and Duv = +0.020. In Figure 3B, the straight lines intersecting the black body radiation locus (Duv = 0.000) are the isochromatic temperature lines at each correlated color temperature (CCT = 1700K, 1950K, 2000K, 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, 6500K). When the color deviation of the mixed light emitted from the light emitting device is Duv = 0, there is no deviation from the black body radiation locus and it approximates the black body radiation locus.
[0066] The light emitting device preferably emits light such that the second emission luminance in the range of 650 nm or more and 750 nm or less is 50% or less with respect to the first emission luminance of 100% in the range of 400 nm or more and 750 nm or less.

When the ratio Lp of the second emission luminance to the first emission luminance of the light emission of the light emitting device is 50% or less, among the mixed light emitted from the light emitting device, the light of the red component is relatively less, and light that reduces glare without causing discomfort to humans and without reducing the luminance is emitted from the light emitting device. The ratio Lp of the second emission luminance to the first emission luminance of the light emission of the light emitting device may be 45% or less, may be 40% or less, may be 35% or less, or may be 30% or less. The ratio Lp of the second emission luminance to the first emission luminance of the light emission of the light emitting device may be 5% or more or may be 8% or more in order to emit light having good color rendering properties.
[0067] The ratio Lp of the second luminance to the first luminance of the light emission of the light-emitting device is derived by the following formula (8). The ratio Lp of the second luminance in the range of 650 nm or more and 750 nm or less to the first luminance of 100% in the range of 400 nm or more and 750 nm or less of the light emission of the light-emitting device indicates the ratio of the light of the long-wavelength red component in the mixed-color light emitted from the light-emitting device.

[0069] The light-emitting device preferably emits light with a first relative glare index (Ls1 / L) / (Ls10 / L0) of 99.9% or less. The first relative glare index (Ls1 / L) / (Ls10 / L0) refers to the ratio (%) of the first glare index Ls1 / L derived from the above formula (1) of a light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature of 1950 K or less, when the reference first glare index Ls10 / L0 is set to 100%. The reference first glare index Ls10 / L0 can be the lowest value of the first glare index among the light-emitting devices to be measured that emit light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950 K, as the reference first glare index Ls10 / L0. When the first relative glare index (Ls1 / L) / (Ls10 / L0) is 99.9% or less, glare can be reduced compared to a light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950 K. The first relative glare index (Ls1 / L) / (Ls10 / L0) is preferably 20% or more. When light with a first relative glare index (Ls1 / L) / (Ls10 / L0) of less than 20% is emitted from the light-emitting device, although the effect of reducing glare becomes greater compared to a light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950 K, the color balance of the light is disrupted and the color rendering property deteriorates. In order to satisfy the color rendering property required for luminaires used outdoors and reduce glare, the light-emitting device preferably emits light within the range where the first relative glare index (Ls1 / L) / (Ls10 / L0) is 20% or more and 99.9% or less. A light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature of 1950 K or less may have a first relative glare index (Ls1 / L) / (Ls10 / L0) within the range of 30% or more and 99.8% or less, 40% or more and 99.7% or less, 50% or more and 99.6% or less, 60% or more, 80% or more, 90% or more, or 95% or more.
[0070] The reference first glare index Ls10 / L0 of a light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950 K can be derived by the following formula (9).

Equation
[0072] The first relative glare index (Ls1 / L) / (Ls10 / L0) (%) can be derived by the following Equation (10).
[0073] [Number]
[0074] The light-emitting device preferably emits light with a second relative glare index (Ls2 / L) / (Ls20 / L0) of 99.9% or less. The second relative glare index (Ls2 / L) / (Ls20 / L0) refers to the ratio of the second glare index Ls2 / L derived from the following formula (2) of a light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature of 1950 K or less, when the reference second glare index Ls20 / L0 of a light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950 K is set to 100%. The reference second glare index Ls20 / L0 can be the lowest numerical second glare index among the light-emitting devices to be measured that emit light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950 K. When the second relative glare index (Ls2 / L) / (Ls20 / L0) is 99.9% or less, glare can be reduced compared to a light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950 K, even when viewing a relatively wide range of areas. The second relative glare index (Ls2 / L) / (Ls20 / L0) is preferably 20% or more. When light with a second relative glare index (Ls2 / L) / (Ls20 / L0) of less than 20% is emitted from the light-emitting device, the effect of reducing glare is greater than that of a light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950 K considering a human viewing angle of 10 degrees when viewing a relatively wide range of areas, but the color balance of the light is disrupted and the color rendering property deteriorates. In order to satisfy the color rendering property required for luminaires used outdoors and reduce glare, the light-emitting device preferably emits light with a second relative glare index (Ls2 / L) / (Ls20 / L0) within the range of 20% or more and 99.9% or less. A light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature of 1950 K or less may have a second relative glare index (Ls2 / L) / (Ls20 / L0) within the range of 30% or more and 99.8% or less, 40% or more and 99.7% or less, 50% or more and 99.6% or less, 60% or more, 80% or more, 90% or more, or 95% or more.
[0075] The reference second glare index Ls20 / L0 considering a human viewing angle of 10 degrees when viewing a relatively wide range of areas of a light-emitting device that emits light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950 K can be derived by the following formula (11).

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the cross-sectional shape of the extended light-transmissive bonding member 32 can also be an inverted triangle that spreads in the direction of the light reflection member 43. As the light-transmissive member 30 and the bonding member 32, a resin having light-transmissivity can be used. The support 1 is a member for mounting the light-emitting element 10, the sealing member 50, etc. on the upper surface. The support 1 includes an insulating base material and a conductive member 4 such as a wiring pattern for mounting the light-emitting element on the surface of the base material.

In the step of forming the light-transmitting member and the bonding member, a light-transmitting adhesive is applied to the upper surface of the light-emitting element, and the wavelength conversion member is bonded to the upper surface of the light-emitting element. The adhesive protruding from the interface between the light-emitting element and the wavelength conversion member adheres and extends from the side surface of the light-emitting element to the periphery of the wavelength conversion member, is cured in a fillet shape, and the light-transmitting member and the bonding member are formed. In the step of arranging the light-reflecting member, on the upper surface of the support, a white resin is arranged and cured so as to cover the side surfaces of the wavelength conversion member and the light-transmitting member, and the light-reflecting member is arranged. Finally, a sealing member is arranged on the upper surfaces of the wavelength conversion member and the light-reflecting member.

It is preferable that the outer surface of the covering member 44 and the side surface of the wavelength conversion member 23 be the same surface. The covering member 44 covers the light-emitting device 10 such that at least a part of each of the pair of electrodes 12p and 12n is exposed.

In the step of forming the covering member, the covering member is formed on the wavelength conversion member so as to embed the light-emitting element. By removing a part of the covering member, the electrodes of the light-emitting element are exposed. If necessary, it is cut and separated for each unit area. Thus, the light-emitting device of the third configuration example can be manufactured.

A phenyl silicone resin was used as the translucent material constituting the wavelength conversion member 21. The phosphors shown in Table 3 were used as the first phosphor 71 and the second phosphor 72. The composition for a wavelength conversion member was formulated with a first phosphor 71 and a second phosphor 72 as shown in Table 3 such that the correlated color temperature of the mixed color light of the light from the light-emitting element 10 and the light of the phosphor 70 containing the first phosphor 71 and the second phosphor 72 would be close to 1850 K with respect to 100 parts by mass of the translucent material. The composition for a wavelength conversion member was also formulated with 15 parts by mass of silicon dioxide as a filler with respect to 100 parts by mass of the phenyl silicone resin. Next, the prepared composition for a wavelength conversion member was filled into the recess of the molded body 41.

The composition for a wavelength conversion member was also formulated with 2 parts by mass of aluminum oxide as a filler with respect to 100 parts by mass of the silicone resin. Next, the prepared composition for a wavelength conversion member was heated at 180 °C for 2 hours to be cured into a sheet shape, thereby preparing a sheet-shaped wavelength conversion member 22.
[0118] Arrangement step of the translucent member and the light-emitting element A phenyl silicone resin, which is a light-transmissive adhesive, was applied to the upper surface of the wavelength conversion member 23, and the same light-emitting element 10 as in Example 1 was bonded. Further, a light-transmissive adhesive was applied to the interface between the light-emitting element 10 and the wavelength conversion member 23 and cured at 150 °C for 4 hours to form a cured light-transmissive member 33 in a fillet shape extending from the side surface of the light-emitting element 10 to the periphery of the wavelength conversion member 23.
[0119] Forming step of the coating member As a composition for the coating member, a composition for the coating member containing a phenyl silicone resin and titanium oxide particles having an average particle diameter (catalog value) of 0.25 μm and containing 60 parts by mass of titanium oxide particles with respect to 100 parts by mass of the phenyl silicone resin was prepared. On the upper surface of the wavelength conversion member 23, it was placed in the composition for the coating member, which is a white resin, so as to cover the side surfaces of the wavelength conversion member 23 and the light-transmissive member 33 and embed the light-emitting element 10, and cured to form the coating member 44. By removing a part of the coating member 44, the electrodes 12p and 12n of the light-emitting element 10 were exposed. It was diced so as to be approximately 0.350 mm larger in both length and width than the planar shape of the light-emitting element 10, having a substantially square planar shape of about 1.7 mm on each side, and the total thickness including the wavelength conversion member 33 and the coating member 44 was about 350 μm, and a light-emitting device 400 of the third configuration example that emits light with a correlated color temperature of 1950 K or less was manufactured.

The light-emitting device 200 of the first configuration example includes a first phosphor 71 and a second phosphor 72, and reference can be made to FIG. 5. In the step of preparing the wavelength conversion member, except that a composition for the wavelength conversion member containing the first phosphor 71 and the second phosphor 72 was prepared such that the total amount of the phosphor 70 and the blending ratio of the first phosphor 71 and the second phosphor 72 were the amounts shown in Table 3 so that the correlated color temperature of the mixed-color light of the light from the light-emitting element 10 and the light of the phosphor 70 including the first phosphor 71 and the second phosphor 72 became close to 1950 with respect to 100 parts by mass of the light-transmissive material, a light-emitting device 200 of the first configuration example that emits light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950 K and becoming 2000 K or less was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 5.

The measurement of the emission spectrum of each light-emitting device was performed at room temperature (20°C to 30°C). Figures 11 to 16 show the emission spectra (spectral radiance) S(λ) of each light-emitting device. Figures 11 to 16 show the emission spectra of each light-emitting device when the luminance L derived from the above formula (4) of each light-emitting device was set to the same numerical value.

[0124] Ratio Lp of the second radiance to the first radiance Based on the above formula (4), from the emission spectrum (spectral radiance) S(λ) of each light-emitting device, the ratio Lp (%) of the second radiance in the range of 650 nm or more and 750 nm or less was calculated with the first radiance in the range of 400 nm or more and 750 nm or less being 100%.
[0125] First glare index Ls1 / L For each light-emitting device, the measured emission spectrum (spectral radiance) S(λ), the spectral sensitivity Gs(λ) of the human S cone obtained from Figure 1A, and the CIE-defined photopic standard relative luminosity curve V(λ) of a human obtained from Figure 1B were incorporated into the above formula (1) to obtain the first glare index Ls1 / L of each light-emitting device.

The first relative glare index (Ls1 / L) / (Ls10 / L0), which is the ratio of the first glare index Ls1 / L of each light-emitting device to the reference first glare index Ls10 / L0, was calculated based on Equation (10).
[0127] Second glare index Ls2 / L For each light-emitting device, each emission spectrum (spectral radiance) S(λ) measured, the spectral sensitivity Gs(λ) of the human S cone obtained from FIG. 1A, and the photopic standard visual sensitivity curve V 10 (λ) and the photopic standard visual sensitivity curve V(λ) of humans defined by the CIE were incorporated into Equation (2) to obtain the second glare index Ls2 / L of each light-emitting device.
[0128] Second relative glare index (Ls2 / L)(Ls20 / L0) Among the light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 that emit light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950K, the second glare index of the light-emitting device of Comparative Example 3, which has the lowest numerical value of the second glare index Ls2 / L, was used as the reference second glare index Ls20 / L0.

[0129]
Table 3
[0130] As shown in Table 1, the light-emitting devices according to Examples 1 to 6 had a correlated color temperature of 1950 K or less, and emitted light with a correlated color temperature similar to or slightly lower than that of light emitted by, for example, a high-pressure sodium lamp. When the light-emitting devices of Examples 1 to 6 were used as a light source for a luminaire used outdoors, for example, even when the light-emitting device was used as an alternative to a high-pressure sodium lamp, light was emitted such that the color tone of the irradiated object was natural and did not give a sense of discomfort. Further, in the light-emitting devices according to Examples 1 to 6, the full width at half maximum of the emission peak having the maximum emission intensity in the emission spectrum was in the range of 3 nm or more and 110 nm or less. Further, the emission peak wavelength in the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device was in the range of 570 nm or more and 680 nm or less. Since the full width at half maximum of the emission peak having the maximum emission intensity in the emission spectrum of the light-emitting device was 3 nm or more and 110 nm or less, it was possible to suppress the component of light on the long wavelength side that was difficult for humans to perceive. Further, the light-emitting devices according to Examples 1 to 6 emitted light with a first glare index Ls1 / L derived from the above formula (1) of 0.493 or less, and the glare was reduced. Further, the light-emitting measures according to Examples 1 to 6 emitted light with a second glare index Ls2 / L of 1.082 or less, and the glare was reduced even when considering a viewing angle of 10 degrees when viewing a relatively wide range of regions.
[0131] The light-emitting devices according to Examples 1 to 6 emitted light with a color deviation Duv, which is the deviation from the blackbody radiation locus, of -0.001 or 0.000, and even when emitting light with a correlated color temperature of 1950 K or less, light was emitted from the light-emitting device such that the color tone of the irradiated object was natural and did not give a sense of discomfort.
[0132] The light-emitting devices according to Examples 1 to 6 emitted light with a ratio Lp of the second radiance in the range of 650 nm or more and 750 nm or less to the first radiance in the range of 400 nm or more and 750 nm or less of 50% or less. Among the mixed-color light emitted from the light-emitting devices according to Examples 1 to 6, light was emitted in which the light of the red component was relatively less and the glare was reduced without giving a sense of discomfort to humans.
[0133] The light-emitting devices according to Examples 1 to 6 had a first relative glare index (Ls1 / L) / (Ls10 / L0) of 99.6% or less, and were able to reduce glare more than light-emitting devices that emit light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950K.
[0134] The light-emitting devices according to Examples 1 to 6 had a second relative glare index (Ls2 / L) / (Ls20 / L0) of 99.6% or less, and were able to reduce glare more than light-emitting devices that emit light with a correlated color temperature exceeding 1950K even when viewing a relatively wide range of areas.
[0135] The light-emitting devices according to Examples 1 to 3, 5, and 6 had an average color rendering index Ra of 51 or more, and emitted light with sufficient color rendering properties even when illuminating, for example, roads with high traffic volume or many people coming and going.
[0136] The light-emitting device according to Example 4 had an average color rendering index Ra of 30 or more, and had sufficient color rendering properties for illuminating roads and the like.
[0137] The light-emitting devices according to Comparative Examples 1 to 3 emitted light with a correlated color temperature slightly higher than that of the light emitted by a high-pressure sodium lamp. When used as a light source for a luminaire used outdoors and replacing the high-pressure sodium lamp, for example, the color tone of the irradiated object did not look natural and there was a possibility of causing a sense of discomfort. Also, the light-emitting devices according to Comparative Examples 1 to 3 emitted light with a first glare index Ls1 / L exceeding 0.492, and the glare was not reduced. Further, the light-emitting devices according to Comparative Examples 1 to 3 emitted light with a second glare index Ls2 / L exceeding 1.082, and the glare was not reduced even when viewing a relatively wide range of areas.
[0138] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the spectral radiant luminance of the light-emitting devices according to Examples 1 and 2 was lower than that of the light-emitting devices according to Comparative Examples 2 and 3 in the range of 400 nm to 500 nm on the short-wavelength side where the S cone photoreacts to light.
[0139] As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the spectral emission luminance of the light-emitting devices according to Examples 3 and 4 was lower than that of the light-emitting devices according to Comparative Examples 2 and 3 in the range of 400 nm to 550 nm on the short-wavelength side where the S cones photoreact.
[0140] As shown in FIG. 15, the spectral emission luminance of the light-emitting device according to Example 5 was lower than that of the light-emitting devices according to Comparative Examples 2 and 3 in the range of 450 nm to 500 nm on the short-wavelength side where the S cones photoreact.
[0141] As shown in FIG. 16, the spectral emission luminance of the light-emitting device according to Example 6 was lower than that of the light-emitting devices according to Comparative Examples 2 and 3 in the range of 400 nm to 470 nm on the shorter-wavelength side where the S cones photoreact.
