The thickness b of the resin layer 31 is 5 times or more, for example, 5 to 9 times, the thickness of the substrate 11. The thickness of the first resin layer 31 may be in the range. Therefore, the light emitting device 21 can be sealed on the substrate 11 to prevent moisture from penetrating. The first resin layer 31 and the substrate 11 are made of a flexible plastic. The thickness b of the first resin layer 31 is 2.7 mm or less, for example, 2 The thickness b of the first resin layer 31 may be in the range of 2.7 mm to 2.7 mm. If it is small, the distance between the light emitting element 21 and the first diffusion layer 41 is reduced, or the thickness of the diffusion layer is increased. If the thickness is greater than the above range, the module thickness may increase or the luminous intensity may decrease. There is.
[0076] The first resin layer 31 is disposed between the substrate 11 and the first diffusion layer 41. The light emitted from the element 21 is guided to the first diffusion layer 41. The resin layer 31 may be a transparent layer to which no impurities are added. Since there are no impurities, light can pass through in a straight line.
[0077] The light emitted from the light emitting element 21 is emitted through the top surface S1 and the side surface S2. Light emitted through the surface S1 and the side surface S2 can travel through the first resin layer 31.

It can emit blue light in the 470 nm range.
[0078] The first diffusion layer 41 may be in contact with the first resin layer 31. The diffusion layer 41 is formed of a resin material containing a diffusion agent after the first resin layer 31 is hardened. Here, the amount of the diffusing agent is determined based on the amount of the first diffusing layer 41 in the process. The first diffusion layer 41 may be doped in a range of 1.5 wt % to 2.5 wt %. Resin materials, such as UV (Ultra violet) resin, epoxy Alternatively, the first diffusion layer 41 may be made of a resin material similar to silicone. For example, the range may be 1.1 to 1.8 or 1.4 to 1.6. The refractive index may be lower than that of the diffusing agent.
[0079] The UV resin is made, for example, of urethane acrylate oligomer as the main material. For example, synthetic oligomers can be used. A urethane acrylate oligomer having a low boiling point and a dilute urethane acrylate oligomer can be used.

As an additive, a photoinitiator (e.g., 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl l-ketone, Diphenyl), Diphenyl(2, 4, 6-trimet hylbenzoyl phosphine oxide) or antioxidants The UV resin can be mixed with 10 to 21% of oligomer and 30% of monomer. In this case, the composition may be formed by containing 1.5 to 6% of the above-mentioned components. The monomers are IBOA (isobornyl acrylate) 10-21%, HB A (Hydroxybutyl Acrylate) 10~21%, HEMA (Hydr It can be composed of a mixture of 10-21% of oxy methyl acrylate The additive can be made to function as a photoinitiator by adding 1 to 5% of a photoinitiator. , and formed as a mixture that can improve yellowing phenomenon by adding 0.5 to 1% of antioxidant. The resin layer formed using the above-mentioned composition can be formed by using a UV resin instead of a light guide plate. The layer is formed with a resin such as acrylic resin, making it possible to adjust the refractive index and thickness, and The composition can be used to satisfy all of the requirements for adhesive properties, reliability, and mass production speed. can.
[0080] The first resin layer 31 and the first diffusion layer 41 may be made of the same resin material. When the resin layer 31 and the first diffusion layer 41 are made of the same resin material, the first resin layer 31 and the second diffusion layer 41 The first diffusion layer 41 is in close contact with the first resin layer 31 and the first diffusion layer 41 at the interface between them. As shown in FIG. 27, the first resin layer 31 and the first diffusion layer 4 When the refractive index of the resin material in 1 is 1.4 or more at the emission wavelength, the light uniformity is 90% or more. The refractive index of such a resin material is 1.8 or less, for example, 1.1 or The refractive index of the diffusing agent may be in the range of 1.8 or in the range of 1.4 to 1.6. As shown in FIG. 28, the refractive index of the resin material of the first resin layer 31 and the first diffusion layer 41 is It can be seen that when is in the range of 1.1 to 1.8, the light efficiency is 95% or more.
[0081] The first diffusion layer 41 is formed to a thickness c that is thinner than the thickness b of the first resin layer 31, where b>c. The thickness c of the first diffusion layer 41 may be 80% or less of the thickness b of the first resin layer 31. For example, the first diffusion layer 41 may be provided with a small thickness. Therefore, the flexibility of the lighting module can be ensured.
[0082] The first diffusion layer 41 has a diffusion agent (beads or dispersing agent) therein. The first diffusion layer 41 may include the first resin layer 31 and the second diffusion layer 42. The diffusing agent may be disposed between the diffusing layer 51 and the light emitting layer 52. The diffusing agent may have a refractive index in the range of 1.4 to 2 at the emission wavelength. and its size can be in the range of 4 μm to 6 μm. The diffusing agent is spherical in shape. As shown in FIG. 29, the refractive index of the diffusing agent is 1.4 or more. For example, in the case of 1.4 or 2, the light uniformity is 90% or more. As shown in FIG. 30, when the size of the diffusing agent is in the range of 4 μm to 6 μm, The light uniformity can be over 90%.
[0083] The diffusing agent of the first diffusing layer 41 diffuses the light incident through the first resin layer 31. Therefore, the hole formed by the light emitted through the first diffusion layer 41 can be diffused. The diffusion agent can reduce the occurrence of hot spots. The size of such a diffusing agent can be larger than the wavelength of the irradiated light. The large size and arrangement can improve the light diffusion effect.
[0084] The content of the diffusing agent in the first diffusion layer 41 is 5 wt % or less, for example, 2 wt % or less. If the content of the diffusing agent is less than the above range, the hot stamping There is a limit to how low the pot can be, and if it is higher than this range, the light transmittance may decrease. Therefore, the diffusing agent is disposed in the first diffusion layer 41 at the above content. This diffuses the light and reduces hot spots without reducing light transmittance. .
[0085] The second diffusion layer 51 is made of a material different from the resin material of the first resin layer 31 and the first diffusion layer 41. The second diffusion layer 51 may be a transparent layer and may contain a phosphor therein. The second diffusion layer 51 contains one or more kinds of phosphors, for example, red phosphor, amber (am At least one of the following phosphors may be included: By adding a phosphor to the second diffusion layer 51, the diffused light can be The wavelength conversion efficiency of the second diffusion layer 51 can be increased. The second diffusion layer 51 may include a material such as SiO2. The refractive index of the second diffusion layer 51 may be in the range of 1.6. The second diffusion layer 51 may be formed by bonding the first resin layer 31 and the first diffusion layer 52 together. The refractive index of the second diffusion layer 51 may be higher than that of the second diffusion layer 41. If the temperature is lower than this range, the uniformity of light will be reduced, and if the temperature is higher than this range, the light transmittance will be reduced. Accordingly, the refractive index of the second diffusion layer 51 is provided within the above range to improve the light transmittance and The second diffusion layer 51 has a phosphor therein, so that the light can be uniformly irradiated. The surface color of the second diffusion layer 51 can be red or The surface color of the second diffusion layer 51 can be the same as that of the phosphor when the light emitting element is turned off. As another example, the surface color of the second diffusion layer 51 is shown in the The phosphor may be of a different color.
[0086] The phosphor may be added in the same amount as the resin material forming the second diffusion layer 51 . The ratio of the phosphor to the resin material of the second diffusion layer 51 is 40% to 60%. For example, the third phosphor and the resin material of the second diffusion layer 51 may be added at a ratio of 100 to 40%. The ingredients may be added in equal proportions to each other, for example, a 50% to 50% mix. The phosphor may be in the range of 40 wt % to 60 wt %. The content of the phosphor may be in the range of 40 wt% to 60 wt%. The ratio of the resin material to the scattering layer 51 may have a difference of 20% or less or 10% or less. Here, as shown in FIG. 31a-b, the density of the diffusing agent (beads) added to the first diffusion layer is It can be seen that the amount of phosphor required for the color coordinates Cx and Cy decreases as the intensity increases. This shows that the amount of phosphor is adjusted according to the degree of light diffusion by the diffusing agent.
[0087] In the embodiment, the content of the phosphor in the second diffusion layer 51 is 40 wt % or more, or By adding the SiO 2 in the range of t% to 60wt%, the surface of the second diffusion layer 51 Color can be provided by the color hue of the phosphor, and light diffusion and wavelength conversion efficiency can be improved. The wavelength of the light emitted from the light emitting element 21 through the second diffusion layer 51, for example, In addition, the blue light extracted through the second diffusion layer 51 can be reduced. The emitted light can be provided to a surface light source at the wavelength of the phosphor. For example, the phosphor emits red light. In this case, the red wavelength may include the range of 625 nm to 740 nm.
[0088] The second diffusion layer 51 is formed by adding a fluorescent substance to a resin material and then curing the resin material. The second diffusion layer 51 may be formed directly on the first diffusion layer 41. The second diffusion film manufactured in the form of a film can be formed separately and then bonded. The second diffusion layer 51 may be bonded to the surface of the first diffusion layer 41. An adhesive may be placed between the layers 41 .
[0089] The adhesive is a transparent material, such as UV adhesive, silicone or epoxy. The second diffusion layer 51 is provided in a film form, so that the inner It can provide uniform phosphor distribution and provide a certain level of surface color. It is possible.
[0090] The second diffusion layer 51 is made of a resin film, so that polyester ( Compared to using PET film, it is possible to provide a module with high flexibility. The second diffusion layer 51 is a protective film containing a phosphor or a protective film containing a phosphor. The second diffusion layer 51 may be a release film. It may be provided as a film that can be attached to or separated from the first diffusion layer 41 .
[0091] The second diffusion layer 51 has a thickness d, d which is smaller than the thickness c of the first diffusion layer 41. <c<bで For example, the thickness of the second diffusion layer 51 may be in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. The thickness d is 25% or less of the thickness c of the first diffusion layer 41, for example, in the range of 16% to 25%. The thickness d of the second diffusion layer 51 may be 18% of the thickness b of the first resin layer 31. The thickness d of the second diffusion layer 51 may be in the range of, for example, 14% to 18%. If the thickness is greater than the above range, the light extraction efficiency may decrease or the module thickness may increase. If the wavelength is smaller than the above range, it may be difficult to suppress hot spots or the wavelength conversion efficiency may be low. The second diffusion layer 51 is a layer for wavelength conversion and external protection. If the thickness is greater than the above range, the flexibility of the module may be poor and the design itself may be compromised. The degree of freedom may be reduced.
[0092] The phosphor converts the wavelength of the light emitted from the light emitting element 21. The light source can emit light with a wavelength longer than that of the light emitted from the light emitting element 21 . When the phosphor is a red phosphor, the light is converted into red light. The wavelength of most of the light emitted from the first diffusion layer 41 can be converted. The light is uniformly diffused through the powder, and the diffused light is added to the second diffusion layer 51. In another example, the phosphor may be, for example, amber ( Amber phosphor, yellow phosphor, green phosphor, red phosphor , or blue phosphors.
[0093] The second diffusion layer 51 includes a phosphor, so that the color of the appearance appears to be the color of the phosphor. For example, when the phosphor is red, the surface color of the second diffusion layer 51 may be The surface of the second diffusing layer 51 or the surface of the lighting module may appear red. The surface may be provided with a red image when the light emitting element 21 is off, and the light emitting element 21 When the LED is lit, red light with a certain luminance is diffused and provided as a red image of a surface light source. According to whether the light emitting element 21 is turned on or off, the color coordinates of the surface color are obtained as follows: The phosphor may have other values within its color range.
[0094] The lighting module 100 according to the embodiment has a thickness of 5.5 mm or less, and has a surface through the top surface. The lighting module 100 can emit light and has flexibility. can emit light through the sides.

A lighting module according to an embodiment may include: The light is guided in the first resin layer 31 in a radial direction or a linear direction so as to spread, The light is diffused through the diffusing agent of the first diffusion layer 41 and converted into wavelength light through the phosphor of the second diffusion layer 51. This allows the light to be converted and diffused through the illumination module. The light emitted from the light source is then emitted to the surface light source. The light emitting element 21 is flip-type and has five faces on a flexible substrate. The light emitted through the first and second diffusion layers 41 and 51 and the light emitted through the first and second diffusion layers 41 and 51 are directed in the direction of the first diffusion layer 41 and the second diffusion layer 51.

[0102] The content of the diffusing agent added to the first resin layer 32 is 5 wt% or less, for example, 2 wt%. If the content of the diffusing agent is less than the above range, the hot There is a limit to how low the spot can be, and if it is greater than this range, the light transmittance will decrease. Therefore, the diffusion agent is disposed in the first resin layer 32 at the above content. This diffuses the light and reduces hot spots without reducing light transmission. Cut.
[0103] The phosphor added in the first resin layer 32 is intimately connected to the resin material of the first resin layer 32. The difference in content may be 25% or less, or 15% or less. The content may be 35 wt% or more, or in the range of 35 wt% to 45 wt%. The content of the phosphor in the first resin layer 32 may be five times or more higher than the content of the diffusing agent. Accordingly, the color on the surface of the first resin layer 32 is provided by the color of the phosphor. This can improve the light diffusion and wavelength conversion efficiency. 32, the wavelength of light emitted from the light emitting element 21, for example, blue light, is reduced from passing through. In addition, the light extracted through the first resin layer 32 is converted into a fluorescent material having a wavelength. The thickness of the first resin layer 32 is 3 mm or more, for example, 3 mm to The first resin layer 32 may be formed to a thickness of 5 mm.

Such a diffusing agent may have a size larger than the wavelength. , the light diffusion effect can be improved.
[0109] The content of the diffusing agent in the first resin layer 33 is 5 wt % or less, for example, 2 wt %. If the content of the diffusing agent is less than the above range, the hot spot There is a limit to how low the pot can be, and if it is higher than this range, the light transmittance may decrease. Therefore, the diffusing agent is disposed in the first resin layer 33 in the above-mentioned amount. This diffuses the light and reduces hot spots without reducing light transmission. It is possible.

The phosphor may contain at least one or more of the following diffusing agents: , red phosphor, amber phosphor, yellow phosphor, green phosphor, or white phosphor The diffusing agent may include at least one of PMMA (PolyMethoxymethylcellulose). Meth Acrylate), TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3, silicon The diffusing agent may have a refractive index of less than 1.4 at the emission wavelength. The size of the diffusing agent may range from 1 μm to 100 μm. As shown in FIG. 29, the diffusing agent has a refractive index of 1.4. If the uniformity of the light is 90% or more, the uniformity of the light can be 90% or more. Thus, when the size of the diffusing agent is in the range of 1 μm to 30 μm, the uniformity of the light is 9. The light uniformity can be 0% or more. Light uniformity of 90% or more can be provided.
[0152] The ink particles are at least one of a metallic ink, a UV ink, and a hardening ink. The size of the ink particles may be smaller than the size of the phosphor. The surface color of the ink particles is one of green, red, yellow, and blue. The type of ink is PVC (Poly vinyl chloride) ink. ink, PC (Polycarbonate) ink, ABS (acrylonitrile e butadiene styrene copolymer ink, UV resin ink Ink, epoxy ink, silicone ink, PP (polypropylene) ink , water-based ink, plastic ink, PMMA (poly methyl methac Selective application of either acrylate ink or PS (Polystyrene) ink wherein the width or diameter of the ink particles is 5 μm or less, or 0. At least one of the ink particles may be in the range of 0.5 μm to 1 μm. It may be smaller than the length.
[0153] The color of the ink particles includes at least one of red, green, yellow, and blue. For example, the phosphor may emit red wavelengths and the ink particles may contain red color. For example, the red color of the ink particles is greater than the color of the phosphor or the wavelength of light. The ink particles may be thick and have a different color than the light emitted from the light emitting element 21. The ink particles can have a blocking or blocking effect on incident light. The ink particles may contain the same color system as the phosphor.
[0154] The lighting module 101 according to the second embodiment has a first resin layer 61 containing phosphor and ink particles. The ink particles can block the light emitted from the light emitting element 21. The ink particles increase the phosphor concentration to For example, in the case of a lighting module without ink particles, the phosphor The content of phosphor can be increased to more than 35%, and in the case of lighting modules containing ink particles, the content of phosphor The content can be reduced to 23% or less. The surface of the lighting module 101 or the surface of the first resin layer 61 is a surface cover when emitting light. That is, the light emitting element 21 can be turned on / off to provide a light emitting device. This can reduce the chromaticity or color difference on the surface of the first resin layer 61.
[0155] The first resin layer 61 may contain phosphor, diffusing agent and ink particles. The content of the composite diffusing agent may be 3 wt% or less, for example, in the range of 1 wt% to 3 wt%, The phosphor content is 23 wt% or less, or is added in the range of 10 wt% to 23 wt%. The ink particles are added in an amount of 12 wt % or less, for example, in the range of 4 wt % to 12 wt %. In the first resin layer 61, the amount of the diffusing agent is determined by the amount of the diffusing agent. The content of the phosphor can reduce the amount of light emitted from the glass and prevent the light transmittance from decreasing. This prevents a decrease in wavelength conversion efficiency, and the surface coverage can be controlled by the content of the ink particles. This can reduce the color difference and reduce hot spots.
[0156] When the first resin layer 61 contains phosphor and ink particles, the diffusing agent is 0 wt %. In such a structure, the content of the phosphor is 23 wt% or less, or 10 wt% or less. The ink particles may be added in a range of 12 wt% or less, for example, 4 wt%. The phosphor content in the first resin layer 61 may be in the range of 0.1 wt % to 12 wt %. The content of the ink particles is 3 wt% or more, or in the range of 3 wt% to 13 wt% Since the weight of the ink particles is smaller than the weight of the phosphor, The ink particles may be distributed in an area adjacent to the surface of the first resin layer from the phosphor. Accordingly, the color of the surface of the first resin layer 61 can be provided by the color of the ink particles. These ink particles can reduce light transmission, reducing hot spots. It is possible.
[0157] The color on the surface of the first resin layer 61 can be provided by the color of the ink particles. The difference in color of the appearance image due to the on / off of the optical element 21 can be reduced, and the wavelength conversion efficiency In addition, the light emitted from the light emitting element 21 through the first resin layer 61 can be prevented from decreasing. The first layer can reduce the transmission of light of a certain wavelength or blue light. The light emitted through the phosphor layer 61 can be provided to a surface light source according to the wavelength of the phosphor. The thickness of the resin layer 61 may be 3 mm or more, for example, in the range of 3 mm to 5 mm. The thickness of the first resin layer 61 is equal to the spacing between the light emitting elements 21, or There are small things.

[0161] In the lighting module 101, the first structural example is a structure in which the first resin layer 47 is provided with a diffusing agent and The first diffusion layer 62 may contain ink particles. In the example, the first resin layer 47 contains a diffusing agent, and the first diffusing layer 62 contains a phosphor and an insulator. In the third structural example, the first resin layer 47 is a layer without impurities. The first diffusion layer 62 may contain phosphor, ink particles, and a diffusion agent. The first resin layer 47 is doped with a fluorescent material, and the first diffusion layer 62 contains ink particles. In the fifth structural example, the first resin layer 47 is a layer without impurities, and the first diffusion layer The layer 62 may be a layer containing phosphor and ink particles. In other words, the first resin layer 47 and the first diffusion layer 62 may not contain a diffusion agent.
[0162] The content of the diffusing agent in the first resin layer 47 is 3 wt % or less, for example, 1 wt %. If the content of the diffusing agent is less than the above range, the hot spot There is a limit to how much pot can be reduced, and if it is greater than the above range, the light transmittance will decrease. Therefore, the diffusion agent is disposed in the first resin layer 47 in the above-mentioned amount. This diffuses the light and reduces hot spots without reducing light transmission. do.
[0163] The content of the phosphor added to the first resin layer 47 or the first diffusion layer 62 is 23 wt. % or less or in the range of 10 wt to 23 wt%. The first diffusion layer can improve the light diffusion and wavelength conversion efficiency in the module. 62, the wavelength of light emitted from the light emitting element 21, for example, blue light, is reduced from passing through. In addition, the light extracted through the first diffusion layer 62 is diffused in a plane depending on the wavelength of the phosphor. The phosphor may be, for example, a red phosphor, an amber phosphor, a yellow phosphor, or the like. The light source may include at least one of a phosphor, a green phosphor, or a white phosphor.
[0164] The content of ink particles added to the first diffusion layer 62 is 12 wt % or less, or 4 wt % or less. The amount of the added SiO2 can be in the range of 10 to 12 wt %. It can improve the surface color and prevent light diffusion and hot spots. The color of the phosphor particles can be the same as the color of the light wavelength-converted by the phosphor. The color of the ink particles may be the same as the color of the phosphor.
[0165] The first resin layer 47 molds the light emitting device 21 and covers the upper surface of the substrate 11. The thickness of the first resin layer 47 is 3 mm or more, for example, 3 The first resin layer 47 may be provided in a thickness range of 1 mm to 4 mm. Since the first resin layer 47 is provided in the vicinity of the first resin layer 47, the light diffusion property can be improved. When at least one of a diffusing agent and a phosphor is disposed inside, the light diffusion property is improved. It can be done.
[0166] The first diffusion layer 62 is made of a transparent resin material, for example, a UV (Ultra Violet) resin. The material may be a resin, such as resin, epoxy, or silicone. The refractive index of the diffusion layer 62 is 1.8 or less, for example, in the range of 1.1 to 1.8 or less than 1.4. The refractive index of the first diffusion layer 62 may be in the range of 1.6 or lower than that of the diffusing agent. The thickness of the first diffusion layer 62 may be smaller than that of the first resin layer 47. can be formed to a thickness of 0.3 mm or more, for example, in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm.
[0167] The phosphor added to the first diffusion layer 62 is mixed with the resin material of the first diffusion layer 62. The difference in the amount may be 20% or less, or 10% or less. The content of may be 10 wt% or more, or may be added in the range of 10 wt% to 23 wt%. Accordingly, the color on the surface of the first diffusion layer 62 can be provided by the color of the phosphor. The first diffusion layer 62 can improve the light diffusion and wavelength conversion efficiency. It is possible to reduce the transmission of light of a wavelength, for example, blue light, emitted from the light emitting element 21. In addition, the light extracted through the first diffusion layer 62 is provided to the surface light source according to the wavelength of the phosphor. The first diffusion layer 62 can diffuse light by being provided in the above-mentioned thickness range. Such a lighting module can be provided as a surface light source. The red color of the first diffusion layer 62 when the light emitting element 21 is turned off is When the light source 21 is turned on, the color of the light emitted through the first diffusion layer 62 is more intense. That is, the surface saturation of the light-emitting element in the off state can be as low as or higher than the For example, in the off state of the light emitting device, the surface saturation may be lower than that in the on state. The surface chroma of the first diffusion layer 62 is close to medium chroma, and the light emitting element is in an on state. In this case, the surface saturation of the first diffusion layer 62 and the surface saturation of the emitted light are close to high saturation. There is.
[0168] The thickness of the lighting module 101 is 220% or less of the thickness of the first resin layer 47, e.g. For example, in the range of 180% to 220%, or the thickness of the lighting module 101 may be the distance from the lower surface of the substrate 11 to the upper surface of the first diffusion layer 62. The thickness of the first diffusion layer 62 may be thinner than that of the first resin layer 47. The thickness is 80% or less of the thickness of the first resin layer 47, for example, in the range of 40% to 80%. Since the first diffusing layer 62 is provided with a small thickness, the flexibility of the lighting module can be improved. The lighting module 101 is provided with a thickness of 5.5 mm or less. This allows the light source to be provided as a flexible and slim surface light source module.
[0169] The lighting module according to the embodiment has a thickness of 5.5 mm or less and has a surface light source through the upper surface. The lighting module can emit light and has a flexible characteristic. The lighting module can be flexible or curved. It can include structure.
[0170] FIG. 16 shows a modification of the lighting module shown in FIG. 15, and the same components as those shown in FIG. 15 are the same as those shown in FIG. 16, the lighting module 102 is The first diffusion layer 62 is disposed on the first resin layer 47 that covers the light emitting element 21 disclosed in the embodiment. The first diffusion layer 62 includes a side portion 62a that covers the side surface of the first resin layer 47. The first diffusion layer 62 can be defined as a second resin layer.
[0171] The side surface portion 62a of the first diffusion layer 62 is disposed along the side surface of the first resin layer 47. The side surface portion 62a covers the side surface of the first resin layer 47.

In other words, the color caused by the ink particles is relatively far away. When viewed from a distance, the color is clearer and more intense, even when the light emitting element 21 is turned off. Accordingly, even if the light emitting element 21 is in an on / off state, the illumination module The color difference on the surface of the module can be reduced. The content of the ink particles in the upper surface of the first diffusion layer 62 is the same as or greater than that of the upper surface of the first diffusion layer 62. can be quite high.

The phosphor in the first diffusion layer 62 is disposed on the upper surface of the first resin layer 47, and the light-emitting element The phosphor and ink particles in the first diffusion layer 62 can be separated from the molecules 21. The phosphor and ink particles may be disposed on the top surface of the first resin layer 47. The phosphor may be disposed on the upper surface of the first resin layer 47, spaced apart from the light emitting element 21. The wavelength conversion efficiency can be improved as the ink particles are farther away from the light emitting element 21. The further away from the light emitting element 21 or the closer to the surface of the first diffusion layer 62, the less visible the surface color. It can improve sexuality.

When the light emitting element 21 is in an on state, the surface color increases due to the increase in the content of the phosphor. The color tone can be brighter, and the luminous flux can be reduced due to the increased ink particle content. It can be seen that...
