Detailed Description

Example one

The present invention provides a high-brightness light emitting device, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an overall structure of a light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a top view structure of a substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention,

fig. 3 is a schematic view of an overall structure of a transparent light guide element according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the light emitting device includes a light source 101, a transparent light guide element 102, a wavelength conversion element 103, a first reflective layer 104, and a substrate 105.

Specifically, the transparent light guiding element 102 includes a first end 1021, a second end 1022 opposite to the first end 1021, and a receiving groove 1023 connecting the first end 1021 and the second end 1022, wherein the size of the first end 1021 is smaller than that of the second end 1022. In this embodiment, the transparent light guide element 102 is made of sapphire.

In other words, the transparent light guide element comprises an upper end face, a lower end face and a side face which is positioned between the upper end face and the lower end face and surrounds the upper end face and the lower end face, the middle part of the transparent light guide element is provided with an accommodating cavity, two openings of the accommodating cavity are respectively positioned on the upper end face and the lower end face, and the size of the upper end face is smaller than that of the lower end face.

The substrate 105 includes a first portion 1051 coupled to the second end 1022 of the transparent light guide element 102. The light source 101 is arranged on the first portion 1051, for example embedded in the substrate 105 by soldering or the like. The light source 101 is located between the receiving groove 1023 and the outer surface 102a of the transparent light guide element 102, and emits excitation light L1 to the transparent light guide element 102. In this embodiment, the outer surface 102a refers to an inclined side surface of the transparent light guiding element 102 facing away from the receiving groove 1023. The substrate 105 is a metal substrate, preferably a copper substrate. In order to facilitate heat dissipation, a heat sink 106 is further disposed below the substrate 105, and heat generated by the wavelength conversion element 103 and the light source 101 can be dissipated through the transparent light guide element 102, the substrate 105 and the heat sink 106.

The wavelength conversion element 103 is disposed in the storage groove 1023, and generates the received laser light L2 under excitation by the excitation light L1. The first reflective layer 104 is disposed between the wavelength converting element 103 and the first portion 1051 of the substrate 105. In this embodiment, the first reflective layer 104 is a specular total reflection layer formed of a dielectric film or a metal film plated on one end of the wavelength conversion element 103 near the substrate 105, and in other embodiments, the first reflective layer may be a diffuse reflective layer made of silica gel and diffuse reflective particles, or a diffuse reflective layer made of glass and diffuse reflective particles, but a dielectric film is preferably used as the reflective layer. The first reflective layer 104 functions to reflect light emitted in a direction toward the substrate 105 from among the received laser light generated by the wavelength conversion element 103, and to emit the light toward one end of the wavelength conversion element 103 away from the substrate 105.

That is, the wavelength conversion element is placed in the housing cavity in conformity with the shape of the housing cavity, converts the incident excitation light into the received laser light, and the received laser light is emitted from the surface of the wavelength conversion element located on the upper end surface.

A total reflection film 1024 is coated on an outer surface 102a of the transparent light guide element 102 facing away from the receiving groove 1023 for guiding light emitted from the light source 101 to the transparent light guide element 102, so that when the light source 101 irradiates the transparent light guide element 102, the excitation light L1 is totally reflected to the surface of the wavelength conversion element 103. A filter 1025 is disposed between the wavelength conversion element 103 and the transparent light guide element 102, and the filter 1025 can transmit the excitation light L1 and reflect the received laser light L2.

In this embodiment, the light source 101 is a blue laser, the excitation light L1 emitted by the blue laser is blue light, and the filter 1025 is a blue light transmission film for transmitting the blue light with an incident angle less than or equal to 17 °, and reflecting the non-blue light and the blue light with an incident angle greater than 17 °. To achieve better effect, the included angle between the outer surface 102a of the transparent light guide element 102 facing away from the containing groove 1023 and the substrate 105 is 45 °, so that the excitation light L1 emitted from the light source 101 is reflected by the total reflection film 1024 and can enter the wavelength conversion element 103 perpendicularly.

The wavelength conversion element 103 is a complex phase fluorescent ceramic, and has a plurality of scattering phases inside, so that light is difficult to transmit inside, and the blue light absorption rate is between 85% and 95%. The complex phase fluorescent ceramic can be YAG Ce + Al2O3 or LuAG Ce, preferably YAG Ce + Al2O 3.

In this embodiment, the transparent light guide element 102 is in a truncated cone shape, the receiving groove 1023 is in a cylindrical shape, and the wavelength conversion element 103 is in a cylindrical shape and is embedded in the receiving groove 1023. The central axis of the wavelength conversion element 103 and the central axis of the housing groove 1023 are the same as the central axis of the transparent light guide element 102.

Cylindrical, in particular, the transparent light guiding element 102 has a height in the range of 5mm-20mm, a diameter at the first end 1021 in the range of 0.5mm-3mm, and a diameter at the second end 1022 in the range of 10mm-40 mm. The wavelength converting element 103 has a diameter in the range of 0.5mm-3mm and a height in the range of 5mm-20 mm. The substrate 105 has a disk shape and a diameter in the range of 10mm to 40 mm. The height of the wavelength conversion element 103 is the same as the height of the transparent light guide element 102, the diameter of the wavelength conversion element 103 is the same as the diameter of the first end 1021, and the diameter of the substrate 105 is the same as the diameter of the second end 1022.

It is understood that the wavelength conversion element 103 may be a prism, but may be designed into other shapes according to actual needs, for example, the wavelength conversion element 103 may also be a square prism, and in this case, the transparent light guide element 102 may be a frustum of a prism. The specific shapes of the wavelength conversion element and the transparent light guide element can be selected as required in practical applications as long as the requirement that the excitation light is incident on the wavelength conversion element at a substantially perpendicular angle is satisfied.

The light source 101 embedded in the substrate 105 is composed of a plurality of lasers distributed on a plurality of concentric circles having different diameters around the center of the second end 1022, and surrounding the periphery of the wavelength conversion element 103. As shown in fig. 2, the plurality of lasers are distributed on concentric circles A, B and C, with the three concentric circles equally spaced. Wherein, the diameter of the concentric circle A is the smallest, and the diameters of the concentric circle B and the concentric circle C are increased in sequence. The number of lasers 1011 disposed on concentric circle a is 15, the number of lasers 1012 disposed on concentric circle B is 12, and the number of lasers 1013 disposed on concentric circle C is 8. That is, the laser arrangement number on the innermost concentric circle a near the wavelength converting element 103 is close, and the laser arrangement number on the outermost concentric circle C one turn is the smallest, after the middle concentric circle B. Obviously, the arrangement density of the lasers gradually decreases in a direction from the vicinity of the wavelength conversion element 103 to the distance from the wavelength conversion element 103, and the arrangement density is distributed in a gradient manner. In practical applications, the specific number of the lasers can be selected according to practical requirements, and is not limited to the number shown in fig. 2.

The above-described arrangement of the light source 101 mainly solves the problem of blue light transmittance, and specifically, in combination with fig. 1 and 2, the laser light emitted from the laser farther from the wavelength conversion element 103 excites the lower end of the wavelength conversion element 103 by reflection of the transparent light guide element 102, where the optical path to the light exit port (the top of the wavelength conversion element 103) is farther, and the blue laser light is easily absorbed and converted into the received laser light, so that the blue light loss is large. The laser emitted by the laser closer to the wavelength conversion element 103 is reflected by the transparent light guide element 102 to excite the upper end of the wavelength conversion element 103, and the optical path from the upper end to the light outlet is closer, so that the blue light loss is less. Based on the principle, the amount of blue light in the light finally emitted by the light-emitting device can be controlled by adjusting the number of the lasers on different concentric circles.

It will be appreciated that in addition to the laser arrangement described above, it is also possible to arrange for the number of lasers to be the same for each of the turns, i.e.: the non-gradient distribution is, according to the above principle, sufficient as long as the number of lasers close to the wavelength converting element 103 is ensured.

The light-emitting device of the invention effectively avoids the problem of efficiency reduction of the wavelength conversion element by irradiating the exciting light emitted by each laser in the light source on different positions of the wavelength conversion element, thereby ensuring the emission of high-brightness light.

Example two

Fig. 4 is a schematic overall structure diagram of a second light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the invention. In the present embodiment, the light emitting device includes a transparent light guide element 202, a wavelength conversion element 203, a substrate 205 in which the light source 201 is embedded, and a heat sink 206.

The substrate 205 includes, in addition to the first portion 2051, a second portion 2052 that is perpendicular to the first portion 2051. The transparent light guiding element 202 is shaped like a half-round table, and the transparent light guiding element 202 includes a first end 2021, a second end 2022, a receiving groove 2023 connecting the first end 2021 and the second end 2022, and a first surface 202b connecting the first end 2021 and the second end 2022 and perpendicular to the first portion 2051 of the substrate 205. The receiving cavity 2023 is opened on the first surface 202b, and the wavelength conversion element 203 is semi-cylindrical and embedded in the receiving cavity 2023.

A filter 2025 is disposed between the wavelength conversion element 203 and the transparent light guide element 202. A first reflective layer 204 is provided between the wavelength converting element 203 and the first portion 2051 of the substrate 205. The second portion 2052 is connected to the first surface 202b of the transparent light guiding element 202, and a second reflective layer 207 is provided between the wavelength converting element 203 and the second portion 2052.

The excitation light emitted from the light source 201 is transmitted through the filter 2025 and enters the wavelength conversion device 203, and the stimulated light generated by the wavelength conversion device 203 is reflected by the filter 2025, the first reflective layer 204 and the second reflective layer 207, so that the stimulated light generated by the wavelength conversion device 203 is finally emitted to the top of the wavelength conversion device 203.

Since both the first portion 2051 and the second portion 2052 of the substrate 205 can dissipate heat, the light-emitting device of the present embodiment has a better heat dissipation effect than the light-emitting device of the first embodiment. Moreover, since the wavelength conversion element 203 is in direct contact with the second portion 2052, heat dissipation of the wavelength conversion element 203 is facilitated, so that the wavelength conversion element of the present embodiment can bear irradiation of a light source with higher power, which is beneficial to improving the brightness of the light emitting device.

The above two embodiments are different examples of the overall structure of the light emitting device, the following three embodiments only describe the different structures of the wavelength converting element one by one, and any one of the following three embodiments can be applied to the light emitting device of the above two embodiments.

EXAMPLE III

Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a three-wavelength conversion element according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the wavelength conversion element 103 is formed by splicing a plurality of pieces of fluorescent ceramics. The wavelength conversion element 103 sequentially includes a green ceramic layer segment 103a, an orange ceramic layer segment 103c, a yellow ceramic layer segment 103b, and a yellow ceramic layer segment from one end close to the light exit toward one end away from the light exit, where the orange ceramic layer segment may also be made of yellow ceramic with a predominant wavelength being red. The height of the ceramic layer segment is not limited as long as the total height matches the height of the transparent light guide element 102.

In this embodiment, the light source is composed of a plurality of lasers distributed on three concentric circles with sequentially increasing diameters, the laser on the concentric circle with the smallest diameter irradiates the green ceramic layer segment 103a, the laser on the concentric circle in the middle irradiates the yellow ceramic layer segment 103b, and the laser on the concentric circle with the largest diameter irradiates the orange ceramic layer segment 103 c. Each ceramic layer section can generate laser light with corresponding color under the irradiation of blue excitation light, because orange light generated by the orange light ceramic layer section 103c can not be absorbed by the yellow light ceramic layer section 103b and the green light ceramic layer section 103a, and yellow light generated by the yellow light ceramic layer section 103b can not be absorbed by the green light ceramic layer section 103a, the quantity of light beams of the excitation light irradiated on different ceramic layer sections can be controlled by adjusting the distribution of lasers in the light source 101, and thus the required emergent light with the red light ratio can be obtained. The length ratios of the green ceramic layer segment 103a, the yellow ceramic layer segment 103b and the orange ceramic layer segment 103c can be adjusted according to the color index requirement of the required emergent light.

Due to the sectional design of the wavelength conversion element and the distribution of a plurality of lasers, emergent light with higher red light occupation ratio can be easily obtained, and high-brightness white light illumination is realized.

Meanwhile, the spectrum of the emergent light can be adjusted by adjusting the light beams irradiated on the ceramic layer sections with different colors. Specifically, the power of a certain circle of lasers is controlled, or the number of the lighted lasers is controlled, so that the power of the excitation light is adjusted, the excited light of the wavelength conversion element section corresponding to the excitation light can be adjusted, the proportion of the excited light with different colors can be adjusted, and the wavelength of the final mixed light can be changed. For example, when the inner ring laser is fully turned on, the blue light component of the finally emitted light is large, the inner ring laser is turned on only by half, and the blue light component of the finally emitted light is small compared with the case of fully turning on.

It is understood that the light emitted in the above embodiment is white light, but the light emitting device of the present invention may emit light other than white light, for example, green light. Since the transparency and blue light absorbance of the wavelength converting element are related to the density of the fluorescent particles in the wavelength converting element, in the case of emitting green light, the density of the green fluorescent particles in the wavelength converting element is high, resulting in low transparency of the wavelength converting element, high blue light absorbance, and most of the blue light is absorbed, so the emitted light is mainly the color of the fluorescence.

Example four

Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a four-wavelength conversion element according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 6, in the present embodiment, the wavelength conversion element is a YAG: Ce fluorescent ceramic, and includes a plurality of layer segments in which the concentration of cerium (Ce) ions gradually decreases from one end close to the light exit to one end far from the light exit. That is, the upper layer 103a 'having the lowest cerium ion concentration, the lower layer 103 c' having the highest cerium ion concentration, and the middle layer 103b 'disposed between the upper layer 103 a' and the lower layer 103c 'may be provided in the order of from top to bottom, and the number of stages of the middle layer 103 b' may be not less than 1, and is not limited to the number of stages shown in FIG. 6. The height of each layer section is not limited, and the total height is matched with the height of the transparent light guide element. The length proportion of each section is adjusted according to the color index requirement of the product.

The light source is composed of a plurality of lasers which are distributed on a plurality of concentric circles with different diameters, the number of the concentric circles is the same as the number of the sections of the wavelength conversion element, and the lasers on the different concentric circles respectively irradiate on different sections of the wavelength conversion element. The reason why the fluorescent ceramic with lower cerium ion concentration is selected near the light outlet is that the laser capable of irradiating the layer segment 103 a' is positioned at a position close to the wavelength conversion element and is more dense, and when the cerium ion concentration is lower, the thermal stability of the fluorescent ceramic is better, the temperature quenching is less, and the generated heat is less. The reason why the fluorescence ceramic doped with cerium ions with higher concentration is selected for the layer section 103 c' far away from the light outlet is that the absorption to blue light is stronger when the concentration of cerium ions is higher, and the blue laser reaches the light outlet through a longer optical path and then has less residual blue light, so that the wavelength conversion element with adjustable blue light transmittance can be manufactured by adjusting the number of the turned-on lasers.

EXAMPLE five

Fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a five-wavelength conversion element according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 7, in this embodiment, a translucent scattering layer 108 is added to the uppermost layer of the wavelength conversion element 103. Typically, the scattering layer 108 has a thickness of less than 1mm, preferably in the range of 0.5mm to 1 mm. The scattering layer 108 may function as a light-equalizing layer.
