[0031] FIGS. 1 to 7 are exemplary drawings showing a lighting device according to one embodiment, showing a lighting device of a 3*3 pixel array including a 1st layer bulkhead module.
[0032] FIG. 1 is an assembly drawing of a lighting device according to one embodiment, FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a lighting device according to one embodiment, and FIG. 3 to 7 are perspective views showing the partition module and optical module of FIG. 2 in detail.
[0033] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 7, the lighting device (1000) may include a substrate (1100), a plurality of light sources (1200) disposed on the substrate (1100), a partition module (1300) in which a plurality of pixel holes (1310) arranged in array with each light source (1200) are disposed, and an optical module (1400) each inserted into the pixel holes (1310) of the partition module (1300).
[0034] Here, the bulkhead module (1300) and the optical module (1400) can be manufactured by injection molding and assembled or separated from each other.
[0035] For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the bulkhead module (1300) may have an assembly mounting groove (1320) formed on the upper surface around the pixel hole (1310).
[0036] Additionally, the optical module (1400) may have an assembly protrusion (1410) formed around its upper surface so that the assembly protrusion (1410) is seated within the assembly seating groove (1320) of the bulkhead module (1300) and assembled, or the assembly protrusion (1410) may be detached from the assembly seating groove (1320) of the bulkhead module (1300) and separated.
[0037] Additionally, the partition module (1300) may include an assembly border (1330) formed along the periphery of a pixel hole (1310) on the lower surface facing the substrate (1100), as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6.
[0038] Here, the assembly rim (1330) can protrude a predetermined length in the vertical direction.
[0039] Additionally, the assembly frame (1330) may have a thickness of a predetermined length in the horizontal direction.
[0040] Additionally, the lighting device (1000) may further include a support member (1600) disposed between the substrate (1100) and the partition module (1300), wherein a plurality of holes (1610) corresponding to each pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300) are formed as shown in FIG. 2.
[0041] Here, the bulkhead module (1300) can be assembled to the support member (1600) by inserting the assembly edge (1330) of the bulkhead module (1300) into the hole (1610) of the support member (1600).
[0042] For example, one pixel hole (1310) of the bulkhead module (1300) and the corresponding hole (1610) of the support member (1600) can overlap each other in the vertical direction.
[0043] For example, the area of each hole (1610) of the support member (1600) may be greater than the area of each pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300).
[0044] As another example, the vertical thickness of the support member (1600) may be greater than the vertical thickness of the assembly edge (1330) of the bulkhead module (1300).
[0045] Additionally, when the support member (1600) and the bulkhead module (1300) are assembled together, the upper surface of the support member (1600) may come into contact with the lower surface of the bulkhead module (1300), and the inner surface of each hole of the support member (1600) may come into contact with the outer surface of the assembly edge (1330) of the bulkhead module (1300).
[0046] Here, the lower surface of the assembly edge (1330) of the bulkhead module (1300) can be in contact with the upper surface of the substrate (1100).
[0047] In some cases, the lower surface of the assembly edge (1330) of the bulkhead module (1300) may be separated from the upper surface of the substrate (1100).
[0048] In this way, the assembly edge (1330) of the partition module (1300) can improve assembly with the substrate (1100) through the support member (1600) and can block leakage of light emitted from the light source (1200).
[0049] In addition, as an example, the support member (1600) may include at least one of an adhesive material and an elastic material.
[0050] Here, the support member (1600) can be simply assembled by stably fixing the bulkhead module (1300).
[0051] Next, the bulkhead module (1300) may have at least one assembly seating groove (1320) formed on the upper surface around the pixel hole (1310), as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
[0052] Here, the number of assembly mounting grooves (1320) may be equal to the number of assembly protrusions (1410) of the optical module (1400).
[0053] Additionally, the vertical depth of the assembly mounting groove (1320) of the bulkhead module (1300) may be equal to or greater than the vertical thickness of the assembly projection (1410) of the optical module (1400).
[0054] The reason is to enable the bulkhead module (1300) and the optical module (1400) to be assembled easily, simply, and stably.
[0055] Additionally, the horizontal area of the assembly mounting groove (1320) of the bulkhead module (1300) may be equal to or larger than the horizontal area of the assembly projection (1410) of the optical module (1400).
[0056] The reason is to enable the bulkhead module (1300) and the optical module (1400) to be assembled easily, simply, and stably.
[0057] Additionally, when the partition module (1300) and the optical module (1400) are assembled, the inner surface of the pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300) may come into contact with the outer surface of the optical module (1400).
[0058] Here, the inner surface shape of the pixel hole (1310) of the bulkhead module (1300) may be the same as the outer surface shape of the optical module (1400).
[0059] Next, the optical module (1400) may have an insertion groove formed on the lower surface facing the light source (1200) into which the light source (1200) is inserted.
[0060] For example, the vertical depth of the insertion groove of the optical module (1400) may be equal to or greater than the vertical height of the light source (1200).
[0061] Additionally, the optical module (1400) may include, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, one assembly projection (1410) formed by protruding in a lateral direction from the upper edge region, and a plurality of diffusion projections (1420) formed by protruding in the direction of the light source from the lower surface facing the light source (1200) and diffusing the light emitted from the light source (1200).
[0062] Here, the diffusion protrusion (1420) may be formed by being vertically superimposed with respect to the light source (1200) on the lower surface of the optical module (1400), and in some cases, may not be vertically superimposed with respect to the light source (1200).
[0063] For example, the vertical thickness of the diffusion protrusion (1420) may be less than or equal to the vertical thickness of the light source (1200).
[0064] In another case, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, the partition module (1300) may have at least one assembly mounting groove (1320) formed in the upper peripheral area of each pixel hole (1310), and a light mask (not shown) including at least one assembly hole (not shown) may be formed in the lower area of each pixel hole (1310).
[0065] Here, the optical module (1400) may have a first assembly projection (1410) formed by protruding in a lateral direction from the upper edge area and a second assembly projection (1420) formed by protruding in the direction of the pixel hole of the partition module (1300) from the lower area, wherein the first assembly projection (1410) of the optical module (1400) is inserted into the assembly seating groove (1320) of the partition module (1300), and the second assembly projection (1420) of the optical module (1400) is inserted into the assembly hole (not shown) of the partition module (1300) so that the optical module (1400) and the pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300) can be assembled with each other. The side of the second assembly projection (1420) of the optical module (1400) can contact the inner surface of the assembly hole (not shown) of the bulkhead module (1300), and the lower surface of the optical module (1400), excluding the second assembly projection (1420), can contact the upper surface of the optical mask (not shown).
[0066] Additionally, the first assembly protrusions (1410) of the optical module (1400) may have one, two, three, four, or more than four numbers, and the position of the first assembly protrusions (1410) may be placed in at least one of the corner area and the face area of the upper surface edge of the optical module (1400).
[0067] In another case, the optical module (1400) may not have a first assembly projection (1410) formed by protruding laterally from the upper edge area and an assembly seating groove (1320) of the partition module (1300).
[0068] An optical module (1400) in which the first assembly protrusion (1410) and the assembly seating groove (1320) are not formed may be made of an elastic material and may be assembled by being pushed into the pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300).
[0069] Here, the optical module (1400) can be expanded and firmly fixed inside the pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300) due to the elastic material.
[0070] In another case, the second assembly projection (1420) formed by protruding in the direction of the pixel hole of the partition module (1300) in the lower area may not be formed.
[0071] Next, the lighting device (1000) may further include a light blocking module (1500) disposed on the upper surface of the partition module (1300), wherein a plurality of holes (1510) corresponding to each pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300) are formed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
[0072] Here, the light blocking module (1500) can be assembled by contacting the upper surface around the pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300) to cover the boundary area between the pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300) and the optical module (1400).
[0073] In this way, the light blocking module (1500) can block light leaking through the gap between the partition module (1300) and the optical module (1400).
[0074] Here, the light blocking module (1500) may have a composition in which a binder resin comprising an alkali-soluble resin and an epoxy resin is mixed with one or more coloring agents selected from carbon black, a mixture of organic black pigment and a color organic pigment, a metal oxide inorganic pigment and a metal nitride inorganic pigment.
[0075] Meanwhile, the substrate (1100) may include at least one of a resin-based printed circuit board (PCB), a metal core PCB, a flexible PCB, a ceramic PCB, or an FR-4 substrate.
[0076] For example, if the substrate (1100) is a flexible PCB, the lighting device (1000) may have flexible characteristics.
[0077] Additionally, the substrate (1100) has one or more coupling holes, and the lighting device (1000) can be fastened to a bracket (not shown) through the coupling holes using a fastening means (not shown).
[0078] And, the substrate (1100) can be electrically connected to at least one light source (1200).
[0079] The substrate (1100) includes a wiring layer on its upper surface, and the wiring layer can be electrically connected to at least one light source (1200).
[0080] The substrate (1100) may be a single-layer substrate having a single wiring layer or a multi-layer substrate having a plurality of wiring layers.
[0081] When the substrate (1100) is a single-layer substrate, the substrate (1100) may have a protective layer on the upper surface of the wiring layer, an insulating layer on the lower surface of the wiring layer, and a metal layer on the lower surface of the insulating layer.
[0082] For example, a layer of metal material can serve as a heat dissipation heater.
[0083] Additionally, if the substrate (1100) is a multilayer substrate, the substrate (1100) may have a protective layer on the upper surface of the upper wiring layer, an insulating layer on the lower surface of the upper wiring layer, and a layer for lower wiring disposed below the insulating layer, and the layer for lower wiring may be connected to the upper wiring layer through vias.
[0084] Here, the protective layer of the substrate (1100) can be formed of a solder resistor material or a reflective material as a layer for protecting the wiring layer, and the color of the reflective material can be provided as white.
[0085] Next, the light source (1200) emits the largest amount of light in the third direction (Z) or the optical axis direction, where the third direction (Z) is a direction orthogonal to the first and second directions (X,Y), which are horizontal directions, and may be a vertical direction toward the optical module (1400) from the substrate (100).
[0086] The light source (1200) is mounted on the substrate (1100) and can be provided as an LED chip or a package covering the surface of the LED chip with resin.
[0087] The light source (1200) is a light-emitting device having a light-emitting diode chip (LED Chip), and may include various forms such as a package in which the light-emitting diode chip is packaged, a flip-chip, a CSP (Chip scale package), etc.
[0088] Here, the light-emitting diode chip can emit at least one of blue, red, green, ultraviolet (UV), or infrared light, and the light source (1200) can emit at least one of white, blue, red, green, or infrared light, and can emit light in a colored light such as white, blue, or green.
[0089] The thickness (T0) or height of the light source (1200) may be about 0.4 mm or less, or in the range of about 0.25 mm to about 0.4 mm.
[0090] For example, the light-emitting element of the light source (1200) may include a light-emitting diode chip, and the light-emitting diode chip may include a mini LED chip or a micro LED chip.
[0091] One or more light sources (1200) may be placed within a single pixel area.
[0092] Here, the light source (1200) can emit different colors when multiple light-emitting elements are arranged within a pixel area.
[0093] For example, multiple light-emitting elements can emit different colors among blue, green, red, yellow, and white.
[0094] As another example, multiple light-emitting elements can emit the same color among blue, green, red, yellow, and white.
[0095] Here, blue, green, red, yellow, and white may include wavelength bands of each color or similar colors.
[0096] In addition, the light-emitting element may include a light-emitting diode chip and a phosphor layer, and the phosphor layer may be laminated on the surface of the light-emitting diode chip.
[0097] Here, the phosphor layer may include at least one or more of a yellow phosphor, a red phosphor, a red phosphor, or a green phosphor, and may also include a wavelength conversion material such as a quantum dot.
[0098] Such light-emitting devices can emit blue, green, red, yellow, or white light through the mixing of light generated from a light-emitting diode chip and light with a wavelength converted by a phosphor layer.
[0099] Additionally, the light-emitting element can have a light-emitting diode chip mounted on a substrate (100) in a flip-chip manner and can emit light on at least five sides.
[0100] Here, at least five surfaces may include the top surface and four sides of the light-emitting element.
[0101] In some cases, the light-emitting element may include a top-view LED package.
[0102] Meanwhile, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the light-emitting element may include a side-type LED package.
[0103] Next, the partition module (1300) is a light-blocking member that covers the outer side of the pixel area where the light source (1200) is placed, and may have a single partition structure, a multiple partition structure, or a double light-blocking structure.
[0104] Here, the partition module (1300) can block light interference between adjacent light sources (1200) and can block the problem of light penetrating into the pixel area of an adjacent light source (1020).
[0105] Additionally, the partition module (1300) may have a pixel hole (1310) formed in correspondence with a pixel area where a light source (1200) is placed, and the pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300) can determine the size of the pixel area.
[0106] Here, the top view shape of the pixel hole (1310) of the bulkhead module (1300) can be a polygonal shape, such as a triangular, square, or hexagonal shape.
[0107] The polygonal shape may include a shape with angular or curved corners.
[0108] Additionally, the top view shape of the pixel hole (1310) may be a circular shape or an elliptical shape.
[0109] Next, the bulkhead module (1300) may include a metal material or a resin material.
[0110] For example, the metal material may be an alloy of at least one or two of aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and silver (Ag), and the resin material may include epoxy or silicone material.
[0111] As another example, the bulkhead module (1300) can be selected from materials such as polyimide (PI), polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
[0112] Depending on the case, the bulkhead module (1300) may be formed in a single layer or multiple layers.
[0113] Additionally, the partition module (1300) may include a light reflector or a light absorber within a resin material, wherein the light reflector is Al2O3, TiO2, It may include at least one of SiO2, ZnO, and ZrO2, and the light-absorbing material may include a light-absorbing pigment or dye.
[0114] Additionally, the upper surface width between adjacent pixel holes (1310) in the partition module (1300) may be the minimum distance between adjacent pixel areas, such as 1.1 mm or less, for example, in the range of 0.5 mm to 1.1 mm or in the range of 0.7 mm to 1 mm.
[0115] Here, if the upper surface width of the partition module (1300) is larger than the above range, the dark area between pixels may be increased, and if it is smaller than the above range, light leakage may occur or there may be difficulties in manufacturing.
[0116] Additionally, the vertical height of the partition module (1300) may be equal to or greater than the vertical thickness of the light source (1200) with respect to the upper surface of the substrate (1100).
[0117] Additionally, the side of the bulkhead (1300) module may have a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface of the substrate (1100) for light reflection, and the angle may be about 91 degrees or more, for example, in the range of about 91 degrees to about 95 degrees or in the range of about 92 degrees to about 94 degrees.
[0118] Here, if the angle is larger than the above range, light emitted through the pixel area may propagate onto adjacent pixel areas, causing pixel brightness to decrease, and if the angle is smaller than the above range, light extraction efficiency may decrease.
[0119] Additionally, within the pixel area defined by the partition module (1300), a transparent resin layer (not shown) that seals the light-emitting element of the light source (1200) may be further formed.
[0120] Here, the resin layer seals the light-emitting element and is inserted into each pixel hole (1310) of the partition module (1300) to come into contact with the inner surface of the partition module (1300), and in some cases, may also come into contact with the lower surface of the optical module (1400) or may have a certain distance from the lower surface of the optical module (1400).
[0121] The resin layer can protect the light-emitting element from moisture.
[0122] Next, a reflective layer may be disposed between the partition module (1300) and the substrate (1100), and the reflective layer may be an adhesive layer having a reflective material.
[0123] In some cases, the reflective layer may be disposed on the surface of the partition module (1300), and the reflective layer may be disposed extending to the periphery area of the light-emitting element of the light source (1200) on the upper surface of the substrate (1100) to reflect light incident on the upper surface of the substrate (1100).
[0124] For example, the reflective layer may be a material such as silicone or epoxy, or a primer material.
[0125] Additionally, the reflective layer is attached to the surface of the substrate (1100) and may include a reflective material inside, for example, the reflective material may be Al2O3, TiO2, It may include at least one of SiO2, ZnO, and ZrO2.
[0126] Additionally, the optical module (1400) may include a fluorescent material and perform the function of a fluorescent module.
[0127] In this case, the assembly process can be simplified because an additional fluorescent material insertion process is not required.
[0128] In some cases, the optical module (1400) may have a concave or convex curved shape on the lower surface facing the light source (1200).
[0129] In this case, the optical module (1400) can provide pixel lighting with high light uniformity and brightness by simultaneously performing a diffuser function through light diffusion due to a curved shape and a pattern mask function due to the formation of a microhole pattern.
[0130] Additionally, the vertical thickness of the optical module (1400) can be determined based on the vertical height of the bulkhead module (1300), and the maximum thickness of the optical module (1400) can be less than or equal to the maximum vertical height of the bulkhead module (1300).
[0131] For example, the vertical thickness of the optical module (1400) can range from about 1 mm to about 7 mm.
[0132] Additionally, the optical module (1400) may be made of a transparent silicon material.
[0133] In some cases, the optical module (1400) may include a plurality of beads (not shown) to have a diffuser function.
[0134] For example, the composition ratio of the beads may be about 1% to 10% of the total composition of the optical module (1400), but this is only one example and is not limited thereto.
[0135] Meanwhile, the lighting device (1000) displays images or information such as symbols, logos, symbols, or characters by means of light sources (1200) each placed within pixel areas, and can be defined as a lighting module or a display lamp.
[0136] That is, the lighting device (1000) can display images or information such as symbols, logos, symbols, or characters through a display area.
[0137] Additionally, the lighting device (1000) can be implemented as pixel lighting using pixel regions.
[0138] The lighting device (1000) controls the operation of a light source (1200) within a pixel area through a control unit (not shown) according to the image or information to be displayed, and can display the image or information by the light extracted through the pixel area by turning on or off the light source (1200).
[0139] A light source (1200) placed within a pixel area can be turned on or turned off depending on whether power is supplied.
[0140] Here, the pixel area can be implemented as a grid type or a unit cell type and can function as a pixel, which is the smallest unit constituting an image or information.
[0141] That is, a pixel area can be defined as a unit pixel or a unit light-emitting part.
[0142] The top-view shape of the pixel area can be a polygonal shape such as a square or a triangle, or can be provided as a circle or an ellipse.
[0143] The top-view shape of the display area having pixel regions may be a polygonal shape such as a triangular shape or a rectangular shape, or a circular shape or an elliptical shape.
[0144] The top-view shape of the display area having pixel regions may have a shape such as a symbol, logo, symbol, or character.

[0172] The reason is to enable the first bulkhead module (2300) and the second bulkhead module (2700) to be assembled easily, simply, and stably.
[0173] Additionally, the vertical depth of the fastening projection formed in the first bulkhead module (2300) may be equal to or smaller than the vertical height of the fastening groove formed in the second bulkhead module (2700).

[0180] In some cases, as shown in FIG. 12, the light mask (2750) may have at least one through hole (2754) formed therein.
[0181] For example, a through hole (2754) formed in the light mask (2750) may be positioned so as not to overlap with the light source (2200) in the upper direction (i.e., vertical direction) of the light source (2200).
[0182] The reason is to disperse the light emitted from the light source (2200) to provide uniform brightness.
[0183] Meanwhile, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the through hole (2754) formed in the light mask (2750) may be arranged to overlap with the light source (2200) in the upper direction (i.e., in the vertical direction) of the light source (2200).
[0184] However, in this case, the through hole (2754) that overlaps in the vertical direction with the light source (2200) may be smaller in size than the through hole (2754) that does not overlap in the vertical direction with the light source (2200).

[0187] The side of the second assembly projection (2420) of the optical module (2400) can come into contact with the inner surface of the assembly hole (2740) of the second partition module (2700), and the lower surface of the optical module (2400), excluding the second assembly projection (2420), can come into contact with the upper surface of the optical mask (2730, 2750).
[0188] Here, the number of first assembly protrusions (2410) of the optical module (2400) may be the same as the number of assembly seating grooves (2720) of the second bulkhead module (2700).
[0189] And, the number of second assembly protrusions (2420) of the optical module (2400) may be the same as the number of assembly holes (2740) of the second bulkhead module (2700).

[0192] An optical module (2400) in which the first assembly protrusion (2410) and the assembly seating groove (2720) are not formed may be made of an elastic material and may be assembled by being pushed into the second pixel hole of the second partition module (2700).
[0193] Here, the optical module (2400) can be expanded and firmly fixed inside the second pixel hole of the second partition module (2700) due to the elastic material.

[0201] Additionally, when the second partition module (2700) and the optical module (2400) are assembled, the inner surface of the second pixel hole of the second partition module (2700) may come into contact with the outer surface of the optical module (2400).
[0202] Here, the inner surface shape of the second pixel hole of the second bulkhead module (2700) may be the same as the outer surface shape of the optical module (2400).
[0203] Additionally, the first partition module (2300) may include an assembly edge formed along the periphery of the first pixel hole (2310) on the lower surface facing the substrate (2100).

[0205] Additionally, the lighting device (2000) may further include a support member disposed between the substrate (2100) and the first partition module (2300), wherein a plurality of holes corresponding to each of the first pixel holes (2310) of the first partition module (2300) are formed.
[0206] Here, the first bulkhead module (2300) can be assembled to the support member by inserting the assembly edge of the first bulkhead module (2300) into the hole of the support member.
[0207] For example, the area of each hole of the support member may be greater than the area of each first pixel hole (2310) of the first bulkhead module (2300).
[0208] As another example, the thickness of the support member may be greater than the thickness of the assembly edge of the first bulkhead module (2300).
[0209] Additionally, when the support member and the first bulkhead module (2300) are assembled together, the upper surface of the support member contacts the lower surface of the first bulkhead module (2300), and the inner surface of each hole of the support member contacts the outer surface of the assembly edge of the first bulkhead module (2300).
[0210] Here, the lower surface of the assembly edge of the first bulkhead module (2300) can be in contact with the upper surface of the substrate (2100).
[0211] In some cases, the lower surface of the assembly edge of the first bulkhead module (2300) may be separated from the upper surface of the substrate (2100).
[0212] In this way, the assembly edge of the first partition module (2300) can improve assembly with the substrate (2100) through the support member and can block leakage of light emitted from the light source (2200).
[0213] In addition, as an example, the support member may include at least one of an adhesive material and an elastic material.

[0254] As shown in FIGS. 16 to 21, the second partition module (3800) may have a pattern mask formed in the lower region of each second pixel hole (3810).
[0255] For example, the pattern mask may include a light mask (3850) placed in the lower central area of the second pixel hole (3810) and a plurality of bridges (3852) placed in the peripheral area of the light mask (3850) and connected to the body of the second partition module (3800).
[0256] Here, a plurality of bridges (3852) may be arranged at predetermined intervals so that light emitted from a light source (3200) is transmitted into the space (3840) between the bridges (3852).
[0257] In some cases, as shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, the light mask (3850) may have at least one through hole (3854) formed therein.
[0258] For example, a through hole formed in the light mask (3850) may be positioned so as not to overlap with the light source (3200) in the upper direction of the light source (3200).
[0259] The reason is to disperse the light emitted from the light source (3200) to provide uniform brightness.
[0260] Meanwhile, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the through hole (3854) formed in the light mask (3850) may be arranged to overlap with the light source (3200) in the upper direction (i.e., in the vertical direction) of the light source (2200).

[0266] Additionally, the number of pattern holes in the pattern mask may be smaller in the lower central area of the second pixel hole (3810) than in the lower edge area of the second pixel hole (3810).
[0267] For example, the number of pattern holes in the pattern mask may gradually increase from the lower central area of the second pixel hole (3810) to the lower edge area of the second pixel hole (3810).
[0268] Additionally, the pattern hole size of the pattern mask may be such that the lower central area of the second pixel hole (3810) is smaller than the lower edge area of the second pixel hole (3810).
[0269] For example, the pattern hole size of the pattern mask may gradually increase from the lower central area of the second pixel hole (3810) to the lower edge area of the second pixel hole (3810).

[0285] An optical module (3400) in which the first assembly protrusion (3410) and the assembly seating groove (3720) are not formed may be made of an elastic material and may be assembled by being pushed into the third pixel hole of the third partition module (3700) and the second pixel hole of the second partition module (3800).
[0286] Here, the optical module (2300) can be expanded and firmly fixed inside the third pixel hole of the third partition module (3700) and the second pixel hole of the second partition module (3800) due to the elastic material.
[0287] In another case, the second assembly projection (3420) formed by protruding in the direction of the third pixel hole of the third bulkhead module (3700) in the lower area may not be formed.
[0288] Additionally, the vertical depth of the assembly mounting groove (3720) of the third bulkhead module (3700) may be equal to or greater than the vertical thickness of the first assembly projection of the optical module (3400), and the vertical thickness of the assembly hole (3840) of the second bulkhead module (3800) may be less than the vertical thickness of the second assembly projection of the optical module (3400).

[0298] For example, the area of each hole of the support member may be greater than the area of each first pixel hole (3310) of the first bulkhead module (3300).
[0299] As another example, the thickness of the support member may be greater than the thickness of the assembly edge of the first bulkhead module (3300).

[0354] In this way, the light blocking module (1400) can block light leaking through the gap between the third partition module (4700) and the optical module (4400).
[0355] FIGS. 26 to 33 are exemplary drawings showing a lighting device according to another embodiment, showing a lighting device of a 5*5 pixel array including a three-layer bulkhead module.
[0356] The lighting device illustrated in FIGS. 26 to 33 is identical to the lighting device illustrated in FIGS. 22 to 25 except for the configuration of the fastening member, so a detailed description is omitted.
[0357] As illustrated in FIGS. 26 to 33, the lighting device may include a substrate, a plurality of light sources (5200) disposed on the substrate, a first partition module (5300) in which a plurality of first pixel holes aligned with each light source (5200) are disposed, a second partition module (5800) in which a plurality of second pixel holes aligned with each first pixel hole are disposed, a third partition module (5700) in which a plurality of third pixel holes aligned with each second pixel hole are disposed, and an optical module (5400) each inserted into a third pixel hole of the third partition module (5700).
[0358] Additionally, the lighting device may further include a light blocking module (5500) disposed on the upper surface of the third partition module (5700), wherein a plurality of holes corresponding to the third pixel holes of the third partition module (5700) are formed.
[0359] Here, the first, second, and third bulkhead modules (5300, 5800, 5700) and the optical module (3400) can be manufactured by injection molding and assembled or separated from each other.
[0360] A first partition module (5300) may have a plurality of first pixel holes aligned with each light source (5200) and a first coupling member (5360) arranged therein, a second partition module (5800) may have a plurality of second pixel holes aligned with each first pixel hole and a second coupling member (5860, 5870) arranged therein, and a third partition module (5700) may have a plurality of third pixel holes aligned with each second pixel hole and a third coupling member (5710) arranged therein.
[0361] Here, the first partition module (5300) and the second partition module (5800) can be assembled by stacking together through the connection of the first connecting member (5360) and the second connecting member (5870), and the second partition module (5800) and the third partition module (5700) can be assembled by stacking together through the connection of the second connecting member (5860) and the third connecting member (5710).
[0362] For example, the first coupling member (5360) of the first partition module (5300) may include at least one fastening groove formed around the upper part of the first pixel hole, the second coupling member (5860, 5870) of the second partition module (5800) may include at least one fastening projection formed around the lower part of the second pixel hole and at least one fastening groove formed around the upper part of the second pixel hole, and the third coupling member (5710) of the third partition module (5700) may include at least one fastening projection formed around the lower part of the third pixel hole.
[0363] At this time, the fastening groove of the first bulkhead module (5300) and the fastening projection of the second bulkhead module (5800) are arranged in a direction facing each other, and the fastening groove of the second bulkhead module (5800) and the fastening projection of the third bulkhead module (5700) can be arranged in a direction facing each other.
[0364] Additionally, the fastening grooves formed in the first bulkhead module (5300) may be arranged at regular intervals along the upper circumference of each first pixel hole, and the shape of each fastening groove may have a line shape.
[0365] Additionally, the fastening protrusions formed on the second partition module (5800) may be arranged at regular intervals along the lower circumference of each second pixel hole, and the shape of each fastening protrusion may have a line shape.
[0366] Additionally, the fastening grooves formed in the second partition module (5800) may be arranged at regular intervals along the upper circumference of each second pixel hole, and the shape of each fastening groove may have a line shape.
[0367] Additionally, the fastening protrusions formed on the third partition module (5700) may be arranged at regular intervals along the lower circumference of each third pixel hole, and the shape of each fastening protrusion may have a line shape.
[0368] In some cases, a fastening groove formed in the first bulkhead module (5300) may be arranged along the perimeter of each first pixel hole, and the shape of each fastening groove may have a border shape surrounding the first pixel hole.
[0369] Additionally, a fastening projection formed on the second partition module (5800) may be arranged along the lower perimeter of each second pixel hole, and the shape of each fastening projection may have a border shape surrounding the second pixel hole.
[0370] Additionally, a fastening groove formed in the second bulkhead module (5800) may be arranged along the upper perimeter of each second pixel hole, and the shape of each fastening groove may have a border shape surrounding the second pixel hole.
[0371] As another example, the first coupling member of the first partition module (5300) may include at least one fastening projection formed around the upper portion of the first pixel hole, the second coupling member of the second partition module (5800) may include at least one fastening groove formed around the lower portion of the second pixel hole and at least one fastening projection formed around the upper portion of the second pixel hole, and the third coupling member of the third partition module (5700) may include at least one fastening groove formed around the lower portion of the third pixel hole.
[0372] Here, the fastening projection of the first bulkhead module (5300) and the fastening groove of the second bulkhead module (5800) may be arranged in a direction facing each other, and the fastening projection of the second bulkhead module (5800) and the fastening groove of the third bulkhead module (5700) may be arranged in a direction facing each other.
[0373] Additionally, as shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, the first partition module (5300) may have a reflective layer (5340) formed therein, which includes a light source insertion hole (5350) in the lower region of each first pixel hole.
[0374] Here, the light source insertion hole (5350) is aligned with the light source, and the area of the light source insertion hole (5350) may be greater than the upper area of the light source.
[0375] As shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, the second partition module (5800) may have a pattern mask (5850) formed in the lower region of each second pixel hole.
[0376] Here, the pattern mask (5850) may include a plurality of pattern holes (5840).
[0377] The pattern holes (5840) can uniformly diffuse the light emitted from the light source (5200) in an upward direction.
[0378] For example, the pattern hole (5840) of the pattern mask (5850) can be matched with the space (2740) between the bridges (2732) connected to the light mask (2740), as shown in FIG. 11.
[0379] Additionally, the density of the pattern holes (5840) of the pattern mask (5850) may be lower in the lower central region of the second pixel hole than in the lower edge region of the second pixel hole.
[0380] For example, the density of the pattern holes (5840) of the pattern mask (5850) may gradually increase from the lower central region of the second pixel hole to the lower edge region of the second pixel hole.
[0381] Additionally, the number of pattern holes (5840) of the pattern mask (5850) may be smaller in the lower central area of the second pixel hole than in the lower edge area of the second pixel hole.
[0382] For example, the number of pattern holes (5840) of the pattern mask (5850) may gradually increase from the lower central region of the second pixel hole to the lower edge region of the second pixel hole.
[0383] Additionally, the size of the pattern hole (5840) of the pattern mask (5850) may be such that the lower central area of the second pixel hole is smaller than the lower edge area of the second pixel hole.
[0384] For example, the size of the pattern hole (5840) of the pattern mask (5850) may gradually increase from the lower central region of the second pixel hole to the lower edge region of the second pixel hole.
[0385] The reason is to disperse the light emitted from the light source (5200) to provide uniform brightness.
[0386] In the present disclosure, the lower surface of the partition module may have a pattern mask having pattern holes formed thereon, and a light mask may be formed in which spaces are formed between the bridges.
[0387] Here, the space between the pattern holes of the pattern mask and the bridges connected to the light mask can perform the same light dispersion function.
[0388] Additionally, in the present disclosure, a second assembly protrusion may be formed in the lower surface area of the optical module, or the second assembly protrusion may not be formed.
[0389] For example, if a second assembly protrusion is not formed in the lower surface area of the optical module, the entire lower surface area of the optical module may be placed on the same plane as the upper surface of the pattern mask of the partition module, or the entire lower surface area of the optical module may be in contact with the upper surface of the pattern mask of the partition module, or the entire lower surface area of the optical module may be spaced apart from the upper surface of the pattern mask of the partition module by a predetermined distance.
[0390] Additionally, when a second assembly protrusion is formed in the lower surface area of the optical module, the area of the entire lower surface area of the optical module that does not have the second assembly protrusion may be placed on the same plane as the upper surface of the pattern mask of the partition module, or the area of the entire lower surface area of the optical module that does not have the second assembly protrusion may be in contact with the upper surface of the pattern mask of the partition module, or the area of the entire lower surface area of the optical module that does not have the second assembly protrusion may be spaced apart from the upper surface of the pattern mask of the partition module by a predetermined distance.
[0391] Here, the second assembly protrusion formed in the lower surface area of the optical module can be assembled by being inserted into the pattern hole when a pattern mask having a pattern hole is formed on the lower surface of the partition module, or can be assembled by being inserted into the space when an optical mask having spaces between bridges is formed on the lower surface of the partition module, or can be in contact with the upper surface of the pattern mask of the partition module, or can be spaced apart from the upper surface of the pattern mask of the partition module by a predetermined distance.
