Description

Light-emitting diode (LED) module
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of light-emitting diode (LED) module.
Background technology
Along with information industry is flourishing day by day, digitization tools such as mobile phone, digital camera, digital code camera, mobile computer, desktop PC develop towards direction more convenient, multi-functional and attractive in appearance invariably, and in recent years, the display screen of most of digitization tools is a main flow with display panels (LCD panel) all.Yet, because display panels itself does not have luminous function, so below display panels, must provide a backlight module (backlight unit) to provide liquid crystal panel required area source, make LCD can reach luminous voluntarily display effect.Simultaneously, by this backlight module, liquid crystal panel can obtain enough brightness and contrast, and then reaches the function of demonstration.
Generally speaking, backlight module generally is divided into two kinds of side incident type and straight-down negatives usually.Wherein, the backlight module of side incident type need be converted to the required area source of liquid crystal panel with point-source of light or line source by light guide plate (light guide plate), its cost is low, so be widely used in the undersized liquid crystal panel, the backlight module of straight-down negative then can dispose light guide plate, therefore the area source of the required even and high briliancy of liquid crystal panel just can directly be provided, have the liquid crystal panel of the large scale of high requirements or high brightness etc. to adopt direct type backlight module usually to backlight module.In addition, the area source that present direct type backlight module is provided constitutes in two ways, one of them is by many line sources, as cathode fluorescent tube (cold cathodefluorescent lamp, CCFL) or external electrode fluorescent lamp pipe (external electrode fluorescentlamp, EEFL) be arranged in parallel and form, another kind of mode is then by the point-source of light of densification, arranges as a plurality of light-emitting diodes (light emitting diode) to form.Because light-emitting diode has high color saturation, not mercurous, high life, low temperature and can adjust characteristic such as colour temperature by drive current, therefore is widely used in the backlight module gradually.
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of existing light-emitting diode (LED) module 10.As shown in Figure 1, light-emitting diode (LED) module 10 comprises base material 12, is arranged at a plurality of light-emitting diodes 14 on the base material 12, the lead frame 16 that connects light-emitting diode 14, a plurality of metal pins (figure does not show) that are electrically connected light-emitting diode 14 and lead frame 16 and the lens 18 that are covered in light-emitting diode 14 surfaces.Wherein, base material 12 can be enclosed seat, the formed carrier of material (carrier) such as PPA resin for example, and the group formed of light-emitting diode 14 optional free red light emitting diodes, green LED, blue LED, white light-emitting diode or other colorful light-emitting diode.
Secondly, the lens 18 that are covered on the light-emitting diode 14 are made up of epoxy resin (epoxy) or silica resin (silicone), and lens 18 have curved surface 20 usually, as shown in FIG..Generally speaking, the light of light-emitting diode (LED) module 10 is produced by light-emitting diode 14 earlier, sees through lens 18 then and refracts light into external environment.Yet, because light-emitting diode (LED) module 10 adopts multiple light courcess to share the design of single curved surface, therefore when the light refraction that is produced when the light-emitting diode 14 of different qualities is to the curved surface 20 of lens 18, will cause the phenomenon of Energy distribution inequality, and then influence the mixed light efficient of light-emitting diode (LED) module 10.
Summary of the invention
Therefore main purpose of the present invention is for providing a kind of light-emitting diode (LED) module, to improve the problem that existing light-emitting diode (LED) module causes light to disperse because of the design of adopting multiple light courcess to share identical curved surface.
The present invention discloses a kind of light-emitting diode (LED) module, it comprises base material, a plurality of light-emitting diode and a plurality of lens.Wherein, described light-emitting diode is located at this substrate surface, and described lens then are arranged on this base material and cover described light-emitting diode, and respectively the upper surface of these lens all has the corresponding respectively respectively curved surface of this light-emitting diode.
The present invention forms corresponding lens on each light-emitting diode, utilize the angle of the curvature changing of curved surface of each lens and inverted cone corner structure to change the shear-face angle of controlling by low-angle emitted light of light-emitting diode own and sidewall then and control the light that is sent by the wide-angle of light-emitting diode own, and then make high angle scattered light reach the effect of optically focused or diverging light.Simultaneously, the present invention can effectively disperse the stronger light of light-emitting diode energy that forward sends by the angle variation of inverted cone corner structure on each lens again, and then the bright spot phenomenon of avoiding lens central authorities to be caused because of the energy undue concentration.In other words, by curved surface, sloped sidewall and the inverted cone corner structure of adjusting each lens, leaded light mechanism of the present invention can effectively extend light-emitting diode (LED) module angle Energy distribution (candela distribution), widen the angle of visibility of light-emitting diode and under the suitable condition of the uniformity, significantly increase spacing between the light-emitting diode, and then reduce the usage quantity and the manufacturing cost of light-emitting diode.
