The second reflective layers 230 and 240 have the same area and are aligned with each other on the upper and lower surfaces of the resin layer 220. This allows the resin layer 220 to be oriented in a direction opposite to the light emitting element 105. The light reflected by the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 is diffused and guided laterally. It is possible.
[0076] The resin layer 220 is formed to a thickness Zb that is thicker than the thickness of the light emitting element 105. Therefore, the resin layer 220 protects the upper part of the light emitting element 105 and prevents moisture from penetrating. The light emitting element 105 has a substrate 210 disposed at the bottom and a resin layer 212 disposed at the top. 220 is arranged, the light emitting element 105 can be protected.

The distance or spacing between the first reflective layer 230 and the second reflective layer 240 can be , may be smaller than the distance or interval between the front surface S1 and the rear surface S2 of the resin layer 220. The distance between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 is set to the second direction of the lighting module 200. By arranging the width Y1 or smaller than the minimum width, a line-shaped surface light source is provided, and the luminous intensity is This improves the lighting and prevents hot spots. It is provided with flexible properties that allow it to protrude or recess.
[0078] The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be equal to or less than twice the thickness of the light emitting element 105. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be, for example, 1 to 2 times the thickness of the resin layer 220. The thickness of the resin may be in the range of 5 mm to 1.9 mm or in the range of 1.6 mm to 1.8 mm. The thickness Zb of the layer 220 may be 0.8 times or less than the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200. For example, the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may be in the range of 0.4 to 0.8 times. The resin layer 220 may have a thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 of 1.2 mm or less. Since the light sources are arranged with a difference of 1 / 2, the reduction in light efficiency in the lighting module 200 can be prevented. It can strengthen the sible properties.
[0079] The resin layer 220 may be made of silicone, silicone molding compound (SMC), or epoxy. May contain resinous materials such as epoxy or epoxy molding compound (EMC) The resin layer 220 can be made of a UV (ultraviolet) curable resin or a thermosetting resin material. For example, PC, OPS, PMMA, PVC, etc. may be selectively included. For example, the main material of the resin layer 220 is a urethane acrylate oligomer. For example, a synthetic oligomer such as urethane acrylate can be used. It is possible to use a mixture of a cellulose oligomer with a polyacrylic polymer type. Of course, IBOA (isobornyl acrylate), a low-boiling point dilution type reactive monomer, A mixture of HPA (Hydroxylpropyl acrylate, 2-HEA2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) etc. The polymer may further contain a photoinitiator (e.g., 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phe- nyl-ketone, etc.) or antioxidants, etc. may be mixed.
[0080] The resin layer 220 may include beads (not shown). The resin layer 220 can diffuse and reflect incident light, thereby increasing the amount of light. The phosphor may include a yellow phosphor, a green phosphor, a blue phosphor, a red phosphor, or a It may contain at least one phosphor.
[0081] In the resin layer 220, the regions where the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 are formed are lens portions. The lens portion of the resin layer 220 is provided in a lens shape having a convex curved surface. The lens portion is formed in a semi-spherical shape when viewed from the top. The closer to the center of the light emitting element 105, the farther the distance from the light emitting element 105. The thickness of the lens portion in the third direction may be the thickness Zb of the resin layer 220. The lens part has flat upper and lower surfaces and is curved in the front surface S1 direction. The lens portion can diffuse the light incident in the direction of the front surface S1. The first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 are arranged between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240, respectively, and refract light to the front surface S1. The lens portion can emit light in a region deviated from the optical axis. The light incident on the surface can be refracted at an exit angle greater than the incident angle.
[0082] In the resin layer 220, the recesses C1, C2, and C3 are arranged between the protrusions P1, P2, and P3. 2 is provided as a recess recessed in the direction of the rear surface S2, and the recess The recess of the resin layer 220 may include a curved surface or a curved surface having an inflection point. It is formed as a curved surface recessed from the surface of the resin layer 220 and can refract incident light. The recesses C1 and C2 are formed in the regions between the lens portions so as to prevent the light emitting element 105 from being exposed. It can refract the emitted light and suppress the occurrence of dark areas.
[0083] Here, the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the concave portions C1 and C2 are arranged on the resin layer 220. In this case, the substrate 210 and the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 are The convex portions P1, P2, P3 or lens portions of the resin layer 220 are formed in the corresponding shapes. , may be the same as the number of the light emitting elements 105.
[0084] The first reflective layer 230 can reflect light emitted from the light emitting device 105. The first reflective layer 230 is formed on the upper surface of the substrate 210. 30 may be formed as an upper layer of the substrate 210 or as a separate layer. The first reflective layer 230 is attached to the upper surface of the substrate 210 with an adhesive. The resin layer 220 is adhered to the upper surface of the substrate.
[0085] The first reflective layer 230 has a plurality of holes 232 in an area corresponding to the bottom surface of the light emitting element 105. The light emitting device 105 is connected to the substrate 210 through the hole 232. A portion of the resin layer 220 can contact the substrate 210 through the hole 232 . The hole 232 is the area where the light emitting element 105 is bonded to the substrate 210. That's fine.
[0086] The first reflective layer 230 may be formed as a single layer or a multi-layer structure. The first reflective layer may include a material that reflects light, such as a metal or a non-metal material. When 230 is a metal, it includes a metal layer such as stainless steel, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag). If it is a non-metallic material, it can include white resin material or plastic material. The first reflective layer 230 may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The first reflective layer 230 may be a low-reflection film, a high-reflection film, a diffused-reflection film, or The first reflective layer 230 may include at least one of a specular reflective film, for example. For example, it is provided with a specular reflection film for reflecting incident light to the front surface S1.
[0087] The thickness Zc of the first reflective layer 230 may be smaller than the thickness Za of the substrate 210 . The thickness Zc of the first reflective layer 230 is 0.5 times or more the thickness Za of the substrate 210. Therefore, the transmission loss of the incident light can be reduced. The thickness may be in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, and if it is smaller than this range, light transmission loss occurs. If the thickness is greater than the above range, the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may increase. This becomes the case.
[0088] The second reflective layer 240 is disposed on the resin layer 220. The second reflective layer 240 The second reflective layer 240 is adhered to the upper surface of the resin layer 220. The light source is disposed over the entire upper surface of the device, thereby reducing light loss.
[0089] The second reflective layer 240 may be made of the same material as the first reflective layer 230. The reflective layer 240 is made of the same material as the first reflective layer 230 to reflect light and reduce light transmission loss. The second reflective layer 2 may be made of a material with higher light reflectivity or may have a larger thickness. 40 may have the same or a greater thickness than the first reflective layer 230. The first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 are made of the same material and have the same thickness.
[0090] The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer 240 may be smaller than the thickness Za of the substrate 210 . The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer 240 is 0.5 times or more the thickness Za of the substrate 210. Therefore, the transmission loss of the incident light can be reduced. The thickness may be in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, and if it is smaller than this range, light transmission loss occurs. If the thickness is greater than the above range, the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may increase. This becomes the case.
[0091] The second reflective layer 240 may be formed as a single layer or a multi-layer structure. The second reflective layer may include a material that reflects light, such as a metal or a non-metal material. When 240 is a metal, it includes a metal layer such as stainless steel, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag). If it is a non-metallic material, it can include white resin material or plastic material. The second reflective layer 240 may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The second reflective layer 240 may be a low-reflection film, a high-reflection film, a diffused-reflection film, or The second reflective layer 240 may include at least one of a specular reflective film, for example. For example, a specular reflection film is provided so that incident light travels in the direction of the front surface S1.
[0092] The substrate 210, the first reflective layer 230, the resin layer 220, and the second reflective layer 240 The laminated structure may include the protrusions P1, P2, and P3 and the recesses C1 and C2. The convex portions P1, P2, and P3 have flat upper and lower surfaces and curved or hemispherical surfaces in the first direction. The recesses C1 and C2 may include a curved surface recessed toward the rear surface S2. This can be done.
[0093] The protruding and recessed curved surfaces of the resin layer 220 become haze surfaces. The haze surface is formed by treating the resin layer 220 in such a manner that the haze surface can diffuse light. The surface can be treated to give it a rougher surface, which can diffuse the light that is emitted.
[0094] The lighting module 200 according to the embodiment of the invention provides a thickness Z1 in the third direction in the form of a line. In this way, it is possible to provide a flexible, linear surface light source. The thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200 may be 3 mm or less. In another example, the lighting module may be provided as a linear surface light source having a length of 3 mm or less. 200 is arranged to be 3 mm or more and 6 mm or less, in this case, the thickness of the lighting module 200 increases However, by providing a thicker resin layer 220, the line width is increased and the light distribution area is increased. It can be done.
[0095] Referring to FIG. 2, the thickness of each component in the lighting module 200 is as follows: The thickness of the substrate 210 is Za, the thickness of the resin layer 220 is Zb, and the thickness of the first reflective layer 230 is When the thickness is Zc and the thickness of the second reflective layer 240 is Zd, Zb>Za>Zd≧Zc The relationship between the lower surface of the substrate 210 and the upper surface of the second reflective layer 240 may be: The distance between the light source 200 and the light source 201 is the thickness Z1 of the lighting module 200. The thickness Zb is 0.4 to 0. The ratio of thickness Za to Z1 is 0.14 to 0.18, and the ratio of thickness Zd Alternatively, Zc may have a ratio of 0.08 to 0.12. Zb is 3.5 times that of Za. The Zb can have a ratio of Zc or Zd of 5.8 to 6.4. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 can be set to be greater than the thickness Za of the substrate 210. The light emitting element 105 can be protected and the light can be diffused and guided. It can strengthen bull characteristics.
[0096] Referring to FIG. 4, the maximum width W1 of the protrusions P1, P2, and P3 in the first direction is The distance between the recesses C1 and C2 is equal to or greater than the pitch G1 of the light emitting element 105. The maximum width W1 of the protrusions P1, P2, and P3 may be smaller than the maximum width W1 of the protrusions P1, P2, and P3. If the peach size is larger than G1, two or more light emitting elements 10 are disposed in the regions of the protrusions P1, P2, and P3. 5 can be arranged to increase the luminous intensity. When the maximum width W1 of the light emitting element 105 is smaller than the pitch G1 between the light emitting elements 105, the protrusions P1, P2, The small size of P3 can provide a uniform distribution of light, but the luminous intensity may be reduced. This becomes the case.
[0097] The maximum width W1 of the protrusions P1, P2, and P3 is 15 mm or more, for example, in the range of 15 mm to 20 mm. The maximum width W1 of the protrusions P1, P2, and P3 can be The maximum width W of the protrusions P1, P2, and P3 and the depths C1 and C2 are larger than the depth D4. The ratio of the recess C1 to the depth D4 may be in the range of 1:0.4 to 1:0.7. If the depth of C2 is smaller than the above range, a dark area will appear between the adjacent convex portions P1, P2, and P3. When the depth of the recesses C1 and C2 is greater than the above range, the light emitting element The light travels to the area adjacent to the light emitting element 105, increasing the optical interference between the light emitting elements 105. The depth D4 of the recesses C1 and C2 is a distance from a straight line connecting the vertices of the protrusions P1, P2, and P3. The distance between the bottoms of the recesses C1 and C2 can be defined as a straight-line distance.
[0098] The curved surfaces of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the curved surfaces of the concave portions C1 and C2 may have a curvature. The curvature radius of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 is 8 mm or more, for example, in the range of 8 mm to 14 mm. The curvature radii of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may be in the range of 9 mm to 11 mm. If the value is smaller than the range, the improvement in luminosity will be minimal, and if the value is larger than the range, the dark area will occur.
[0099] The radius of curvature of the recessed portions C1 and C2 is 1 / 8 times the radius of curvature of the protruding portions P1, P2, and P3. The radii of curvature of the recesses C1 and C2 and the radii of curvature of the protrusions P1, P2, and P3 may be small. The ratio of the curvature radii of the recesses C1 and C2 may be in the range of 1:8 to 1:28. If the diameter is smaller than the above range, the amount of light emitted through the recesses C1 and C2 decreases, resulting in a dark area. When the amount of the increase is larger than the above range, the size of the protrusions P1, P2, and P3 becomes smaller. There is a risk that optical interference occurs between the light emitting elements 105. The depth D4 and the radius of curvature of C1 and C2 depend on the position of the light emitting element 105 and the position of the light emitting element 10 5, the light passing through the convex portions P1, P2, P3 and the concave portions C1, C2 is It has scope for improving uniformity and suppressing dark areas in the recesses C1 and C2. The curvature radius of the recesses C1 and C2 may be in the range of 0.5 to 1 mm. The recesses C1 and C2 have a predetermined curvature and are provided in a curved shape, so that the incident light is refracted. This allows light to pass through the recesses C1 and C2, thereby reducing the occurrence of dark areas in the recesses C1 and C2. It is possible.
[0100] The areas between the apexes of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the light emitting element 105 diffuse light. The area for emitting light with a uniform distribution can be defined as a light diffusion area or a light guide area. The distance between the apex of each of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the light emitting element 105 is 13 mm or more. The protrusions P1, P2, and P3 may have a diameter in the range of, for example, 13 mm to 20 mm. When the distance between the apex of the light emitting element 105 and the light emitting element 105 is within the above range, uniform distribution can be achieved through light diffusion. The distance between the protrusions P1, P2, P3 and the light emitting element 105 is less than the above range. If it is smaller than this range, hot spots may occur, and if it is larger than this range, the luminous intensity may become too low. The protrusions P1, P2, and P3 and the emitting portion P4 are connected to each other, and the size of the module is increased. The spacing between the optical elements 105 may be greater than the radius of curvature of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3. For example, 1.3 times or more or 1.3 to 2.0 times the curvature radius of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3. The range may be:
[0101] The recesses C1 and C2 are such that the distance D1 between the straight lines connecting the light emitting elements 105 is The distance D1 may be smaller than the depth D4 of C1 and C2. If the distance D1 is smaller than the depth D of the recesses C1 and C2, the distance D may be in the range of 2 mm. 4 becomes deeper, and the distance D2 between the light emitting element 105 and the protrusions P1, P2, and P3 becomes narrower. The occurrence of dark areas in the recessed portions C1 and C2 or hot spots in the protruding portions P1, P2, and P3 This will occur.
[0102] Referring to FIG. 5, light L1 emitted from the light emitting element 105 travels in the optical axis direction. is transmitted through the centers of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3, and the light L emitted around the optical axis 2 emits light at an exit angle greater than the incident angle, allowing the light to be diffused. 1, Light L3 incident on C2 is refracted and transmitted or reflected by the convex portions P1, P2, and P3. The light is then emitted in a darkened state, thereby reducing the occurrence of dark areas in the recesses C1 and C2. As shown in FIG. 37, the lighting module according to the embodiment of the invention has an emitted luminous intensity as shown in (a). In the distribution, the dark region Rb appears smaller than the bright region Ra, and the iso-luminosity curves are as shown in (b). FIG. 38 shows a lighting module according to an embodiment of the invention, in which a convex portion It is provided as a module as shown in Figure 15, with a structure that has a flat front surface without any recesses. In the luminosity distribution, the dark region Rb becomes larger than the bright region Ra, as shown in (b). It has an iso-luminosity curve distribution.
[0103] Referring to FIG. 6, the line passing through the center of the light emitting element 105 and the center of the protrusion P0 is used as a reference. The angle R0 between the center of the light emitting element 105 and the bottom of the recess C0 is 50 degrees or more, for example For example, the recess C0 may have an angle R in the range of 50 degrees to 80 degrees. 0, the light incident from the light emitting element 105 is refracted and emitted to the outside. The convex portion P0 and the concave portion C0 can be the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 shown in FIGS. 3 and recesses C1, C2.
