Optoelectronic module

The present application relates to an optoelectronic module, in particular for general lighting.

LED modules for general lighting often have comparatively strong inhomogeneities in the

Abstrahlcharakteristik, which may affect in particular the color location and the luminance of the radiated radiation.

One object is to provide an optoelectronic module in which a homogeneous radiation of the module can be realized in a simplified manner.

This object is achieved by an optoelectronic module according to claim 1.

Further embodiments and further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

According to one embodiment, an optoelectronic module has a reflector with an aperture and a structured reflector surface and at least two connection carriers, on each of which at least one component is arranged, which is provided for generating radiation, in particular in the visible spectral range. The connection carriers are arranged at least partially in the interior of the reflector. During operation of the module, at least two components of the module have different emission properties from one another, in particular with respect to the spectral and / or spatial radiation and / or the Luminance of the radiated radiation. The at least two components are each assigned a main emission direction. The radiation emitted by the components along their respective main emission direction is at least partially redirected in the direction of the aperture by means of the structured reflector surface.

The radiation occurs predominantly, in particular to a proportion of at least 50%, only after a deflection, for example due to reflection and / or diffraction, at the structured reflector surface of the optoelectronic module. Thus, the radiation emitted by the components can be mixed in an efficient manner by means of the structured reflector surface such that the radiation emerging from the aperture, in particular in the far field of the optoelectronic module, has a high degree of homogeneity. In the radiation emitted by the optoelectronic module, the individual components become less pronounced as individually perceptible radiation sources, the stronger the mixing of the radiation components.

The main emission direction of the radiation-emitting components expediently extends obliquely or perpendicular to a normal to the aperture of the reflector. This ensures in a simple manner that the radiation generated by the components exits the aperture only after impact with the reflector surface.

Under the far field is in particular the

Abstrahlcharakteristik the optoelectronic module viewed at a distance from the aperture, which is large compared to the minimum distance of the components of the aperture. For example, the optoelectronic module may have a high homogeneity at a distance of about 10 cm from the aperture.

The distance of the components from the aperture is preferably between twice and including twenty times, more preferably between three times and ten times, for example, about five times, an extent of the radiation exit surface of the components.

The homogeneity relates in particular to a spatially uniform emission of the module with regard to the luminance and / or the color locus of the emitted radiation.

Under the interior of the reflector is understood in doubt, in particular the volume, which is limited by the reflector surface and the aperture of the reflector.

In particular, the connection carriers can be arranged completely in the interior of the reflector. An assembly of the connection carrier within the reflector is simplified.

At least two connection carriers are preferably associated with the reflector, components arranged on the connection carriers emitting radiation in the direction of the reflector. Radiation which is radiated during operation of the optoelectronic module of components on different connection carriers can thus be mixed by means of a common reflector and deflected through the aperture of the optoelectronic module. An optoelectronic module, in particular for the General lighting, from which emerges through the aperture of the generated by a plurality of components, preferably incoherent, radiation in high homogeneity, is realized in a simple manner.

In a preferred embodiment, the at least two components are different from each other

Abstrahligenschaften for the generation of radiation with peak wavelengths in different spectral ranges, in particular different spectral ranges of the visible spectral range, provided. The radiation properties are thus different from each other at least in spectral terms. Preferably, the peak wavelengths of the components are chosen such that by means of a mixing of the radiation components of the components for the human eye appearing white radiation can be generated.

For example, white-appearing radiation can be generated by means of a component emitting in the blue and in the yellow spectral range. Furthermore, white-appearing radiation can also be generated by means of three components that emit radiation of a suitable Farbtripeis, for example, radiation in the red, green and blue spectral range.

Alternatively or in addition to the difference in the peak wavelength, the radiation properties of the components may be different with respect to the intensity of the radiation emitted by them. By means of the structured reflector surface, even with a different intensity of the radiated radiation a homogeneous Radiation characteristic for the optoelectronic module can be achieved.

In a preferred embodiment, the optoelectronic module has a mounting body. At least one connection carrier is preferably fastened to the mounting body, more preferably at least two connection carriers are fastened.

The mounting body is provided in particular for heat dissipation of the heat generated in the components during operation.

Preferably, the at least one connection carrier is fastened to the mounting body by means of a heat-conducting connection means. The connecting means may be formed electrically conductive or electrically insulating.

For example, a heat-conducting adhesive, a thermal paste or a suitable for the connecting means

Thermally conductive foil, such as a foil containing graphite or consists of graphite.

The mounting body further preferably has a high thermal conductivity. For example, the mounting body may contain a metal, such as aluminum or copper, or may consist of a metal. A ceramic, such as aluminum nitride, aluminum oxide or boron nitride, can be used for the mounting body.

The mounting body may be designed as a solid body, which may further be formed inside of a structure freely. Such a mounting body is characterized in particular by a simple manufacturability. Deviating from this, at least one cavity can also be formed in the mounting body. In particular, the mounting body can enclose a cooling medium.

By means of such an assembly body heat generated in the components can be improved removed from the components. This can cause an increase in the efficiency of radiation generation. The mounting body can be designed in this case, for example, as a heat pipe (heat pipe).

Furthermore, the mounting body can completely enclose the cooling medium, so that a closed cooling circuit is formed. Alternatively, the mounting body may be provided with at least one supply line and a discharge for the cooling medium.

In a preferred embodiment, at least two connection carriers are fastened to the mounting body. In particular, the mounting body may have at least two side surfaces, to each of which one of the connection carrier of the module is attached. The side surfaces can each form a planar mounting surface for the connection carrier.

Further preferably, two side surfaces of the mounting body are inclined or parallel to each other. Parallel side surfaces may be formed in particular on opposite sides of the mounting body.

For example, the connection carriers can be simplified in such a way that the components arranged on these connection carriers emit radiation in different directions. A thorough mixing of the components Radiated radiation by means of the structured reflector surface is thus achieved in a simplified manner.

In a preferred embodiment, a surface normal of at least one side surface of the mounting body, on which a connection carrier is arranged, points away from the aperture. In other words, an angle between the surface normal of the side surface and the aperture surface is preferably at least 90 °. Components arranged on this connection carrier, whose main emission direction is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the connection carrier, thus radiate such that the radiation exits from the optoelectronic module substantially completely or at least to a predominant extent only after reflection from the structured reflector surface through the aperture , The homogeneity of the radiation of the optoelectronic module is thus further increased.

The mounting body preferably has a

Main axis of extension. The expansion of the mounting body along the main axis of extension is preferably at least 1.5 times as large as in a

Main extension axis vertical direction. The greater the extent of the mounting body along the

Main extension axis is, the more radiation-emitting components can be arranged side by side in the direction of the main axis of extension. The total radiation power that can be generated in the optoelectronic module can thus be increased.

In one embodiment variant, the main extension axis of the mounting body is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the aperture of the reflector. In this case, therefore, side surfaces of the mounting body, which run parallel to the main extension axis, oriented perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the aperture of the reflector. In a radiation of the components with a main emission direction perpendicular to the side surface of the mounting body, the radiation is thus parallel to the aperture of the reflector, so that the radiation predominantly not directly, but only after a deflection at the reflector emerges from the aperture.

In a preferred embodiment, the module has a further mounting body with a further main extension axis. The others

Main extension axis of the other mounting body preferably runs parallel or substantially parallel to the main extension axis of the mounting body. The module can thus have a plurality of mounting bodies which are arranged next to one another in a plane extending parallel to the aperture. For example, the mounting body can be arranged in a row next to each other in equidistant or substantially equidistant intervals. In this way, an optoelectronic module can be produced in a simplified manner, which has an oblong aperture, for example an aperture with a length to width ratio of at least 2: 1, preferably at least 4: 1.

In an alternative embodiment variant, the main extension axis of the mounting body runs parallel or substantially parallel to the aperture of the reflector. In this case, the connection carrier is preferably fastened to a side face of the mounting body whose surface normal points away from the aperture of the reflector. Thus, it is ensured in a simple manner that the radiation generated in the radiation-emitting components predominantly emerges from the aperture of the optoelectronic module after reflection from the structured reflector.

In a preferred embodiment, the mounting body has a cross section with a polygonal basic shape perpendicular to the main extension axis, for example a quadrangular basic shape with bevelled or rounded edges. In a basic form with n corners, the mounting body can have n, in particular flat, side surfaces, on each of which a connection carrier can be fastened in a simplified manner. In particular, a flat side surface is particularly suitable for the attachment of a rigid connection carrier.

The connection carrier is preferably designed as a printed circuit board, in particular as a printed circuit board. For example, a circuit board of type FR2 or FR4 is suitable.

Due to the high thermal conductivity, a printed circuit board with a metal core (MCPCB) is particularly suitable as a connection carrier, in particular for mounting radiation-emitting components with a comparatively high power consumption during operation, for example with a power consumption of 0.2 W or more.

In a further preferred embodiment, the mounting body is segmented. The segmentation is preferably along the main axis of extension. The segments of the mounting body may each have a similar basic shape or be at least partially different from each other.

The, in particular segmented, mounting body may be integrally formed. Thus, the segments can be made of a single workpiece. Alternatively, a multi-piece configuration, in which the mounting body is formed by means of segments joined together, may be provided.

Further preferably, a first segment of the mounting body on a side surface which is formed obliquely to a side surface of a second segment.

The side surfaces of the segments, in particular adjacent segments, can be rotated and / or tilted to each other. The main emission directions of the radiation-emitting components arranged on these connection carriers can thus be shown in different directions in a simplified manner. A thorough mixing of the radiated from the components radiation to a homogeneous radiation of the optoelectronic module is further simplified.

In a preferred embodiment, the mounting body is formed by means of segments which are of a similar design and which are arranged rotated relative to one another with respect to the main extension axis. For example, the segments may each have a cross-section with polygonal, in particular rectangular, approximately square, basic shape, wherein adjacent segments are arranged with respect to the main axis of extension rotated against each other. The reflector is preferably designed such that it has a focus, for example in the form of a focal point or a focal line. The components are preferably arranged in the optoelectronic module such that they are located in the region of the focus. The more components are arranged in the vicinity of the focus, the stronger the radiation of the optoelectronic module through the aperture to a radiation in the form of a pure

Parallel beam be approximated. For example, the reflector in cross-section at least partially have a circular segment-like, elliptical or parabolic basic shape. Furthermore, a curved basic shape of the reflector can be at least partially approximated by suitable straight portions.

The aperture of the reflector, so the

Radiation exit surface of the reflector, at least partially curved, for example circular or elliptical, or polygonal, for example rectangular, be executed.

In an embodiment variant, the structure of the reflector is formed by means of structural elements, which may be designed in a similar manner in particular. The structural elements may in particular be curved, for instance concave or convexly curved. For example, the structural elements may be formed like a spherical segment. Deviating from the structural elements can each be flat or substantially planar executed, the normal pointing to adjacent structural elements expediently in mutually different directions. By means of such a structure, a thorough mixing of the radiation emitted by the components to form a homogeneous overall radiation of the optoelectronic module can be achieved in a simple manner.

The lateral extent of the structural elements can be varied within wide ranges, the lateral extent being selectable in particular between 10 nm and 10 cm inclusive.

The structuring can be embodied, for example, in the form of microstructuring, for example with a lateral extent of at most 50 μm, or in the form of a macrostructuring that can be recognized in particular by the human eye.

In a development, the lateral extent of the structural elements lies in the region of the wavelength of the radiation generated by the optoelectronic module. In particular, the lateral extent may be between 100 nm inclusive and 1 μm inclusive. With such a lateral extent of the structural elements, optical interference effects can be used specifically for influencing the emission characteristic of the optoelectronic module.

In an alternative embodiment variant, the structure of the reflector is irregular. For example, an irregular structure can be done by roughening the reflector. Compared to an unstructured reflector can be done by structuring the reflector improved mixing of the reflector. The components are preferably designed as surface-mountable components (SMD components, surface-mounted device), which furthermore preferably each have at least one semiconductor chip provided for generating, preferably incoherent, radiation. Such components are simplified mounted on the side facing away from the mounting body side of the connection carrier and contacted.

Alternatively, the components may be unpackaged semiconductor chips which are mounted directly on the connection carrier. On a prefabricated housing for the semiconductor chip can be dispensed with in this case.

Further features, embodiments and expediencies of the optoelectronic module will become apparent from the following description of the embodiments in conjunction with the figures.

Figure 7 shows an embodiment of a mounting body.

The same, similar or equivalent elements are provided in the figures with the same reference numerals.

The figures are each schematic representations and therefore not necessarily to scale. Rather, comparatively small elements and in particular layer thicknesses may be exaggeratedly large and / or not shown with the correct ratio for illustration.

A first exemplary embodiment of an optoelectronic module is shown in FIG. 1 on the basis of a schematic plan view and in FIG. 2 on the basis of a side view. In Figure 2, the reflector for improved depictability of the elements arranged in the reflector is partially not shown.

The optoelectronic module 1 has a reflector 4 with a structured reflector surface 41. An aperture 40 of the reflector runs in FIG. 1 parallel to the plane of the drawing. Furthermore, the optoelectronic module comprises a mounting body 5. The mounting body 5 is surrounded in a lateral direction by the reflector surface 41.

A main extension axis of the mounting body 5 is parallel, preferably collinear with a reflector axis perpendicular to the aperture of the reflector.

On the mounting body 5 connection carrier 3 are attached. In each case a plurality of components 2, which are provided for generating radiation, are arranged on the connection carriers 3. The number of components can be varied within wide limits depending on the radiation power to be generated by the optoelectronic module. In this case, it is not necessary for the same number of components to be arranged on the connection carriers 3 in each case.

The radiation-emitting components each have a main emission direction, which runs perpendicular to the connection carriers 3. The components are thus attached to the mounting body in such a way that the radiation emitted by the components predominantly strikes the reflector surface 41 of the reflector 4 and, after at least one reflection at this reflector surface, can exit through the aperture of the reflector.

At least two components of the module have, during operation of the module, in particular with respect to their peak wavelengths, different radiation properties from each other, the radiation properties of the components are preferably selected such that from the optoelectronic module mixed-colored radiation, preferably for the human eye white appearing radiation, exit. Such a module is particularly suitable for general lighting.

By way of example, the optoelectronic module can have components emitting in the green spectral range and emitting in the red spectral range and emitting in the blue spectral range. The radiation emitted by the components is mixed by means of the reflector surface 41, in particular by means of the structure of the reflector surface 41, and deflected in the direction of the aperture of the optoelectronic module. In this way, a radiation characteristic of the module can be achieved, which gives the human eye a homogeneous mixed-color impression, in particular a homogeneous white impression. The individual components can each generate radiation in only one spectral range. In other words, by means of the structured reflector surface, in particular in the far field of the module, it is possible to obtain a homogeneous white impression even with components which in each case emit only radiation in a spectral range.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the structure of the reflector is formed by means of similar structural elements which are convexly curved, in particular spherical-like or spherical-segment-like.

Another structure, for example, with an at least partially concave curvature of the structural elements or each with each other obliquely extending planar surfaces as structural elements, may find application.

The structural elements may have a lateral extent of between 10 nm and 10 mm inclusive, and thus be formed in the form of a microstructure or a macrostructure.

In particular, the lateral extent of the structural elements may be in the region of the wavelength of the radiation emitted by the optoelectronic module. For example, the lateral extent may be between 100 nm inclusive and 1 μm inclusive. In this way, optical interference effects can be used specifically for adjusting the radiation of the optoelectronic module.

The components of the optoelectronic module 1 are preferably arranged in the region of a focus of the reflector 4. The greater the number of components that are arranged in the focus or at least in the vicinity of the focus of the reflector, the more directed the radiation of the module, in particular perpendicular or at least at a small angle to the aperture of the reflector, take place. A bundled radiation is realized so simplified.

The mounting body 5 of the optoelectronic module can be segmented along the main extension axis. This is indicated in FIG. 1 on the basis of segments 55 shown in dashed lines. As an example of a polygonal cross-section, the segments 55 each have a square cross-section. The segments are rotated relative to the main axis of extension of the mounting body to each other. The arranged on the side surfaces of the dashed lines 55 segments connection carrier with the associated components are not shown explicitly in Figure 1 for improved clarity. The mounting body 5 expediently has a high thermal conductivity. For example, the mounting body may contain a metal, such as aluminum or copper, or may consist of a metal. Alternatively or additionally, the mounting body may contain a ceramic, such as aluminum nitride or boron nitride, or consist of a ceramic.

The mounting body may be formed as a solid body. Deviating from the mounting body may also have an inner structure (not explicitly shown), which may for example enclose a cooling medium. For example, the mounting body can be designed as a heat pipe.

On the side surfaces 51 of the mounting body 5, the connection carrier 3 are each secured by means of a heat-conducting connecting means 6. The connecting means may be formed, for example, by means of a thermal paste or a heat conducting foil, for example a graphite foil.

The connection carriers are preferably each designed as a printed circuit board. For example, a circuit board of type FR2 or FR4 is suitable. A printed circuit board with a metal core (MC-PCB) is particularly suitable because of its high thermal conductivity. The heat generated by the components during operation can thus be dissipated particularly efficiently through the connection carriers to the mounting body.

In particular, LED components are suitable as radiation-emitting components 2. Preferably, the LED components are designed as surface mount components. The attachment of the components and the production of an electrically conductive connection with the respective connection carrier can thus take place on the side facing away from the mounting body of the connection carrier 3.

The side surfaces 51 of the mounting body 5, to which the connection supports 3 are fastened, each have a surface normal, which runs parallel to the aperture. In this way, it is simplified to ensure that components mounted on the respective connection carriers radiate radiation predominantly in such a way that the radiation emerges from the aperture only after reflection at the reflector surface 41 of the reflector 4. The mixing of the radiation emitted by the components to form a homogeneous overall impression at a large distance from the aperture is thus further simplified.

As can be seen in FIG. 2, the optoelectronic module has a heat sink 8 arranged outside the reflector 4, to which the mounting body is fastened. The heat sink can absorb the heat generated during operation of the module. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the mounting body 5 extends through the reflector 4. On this outside of the reflector 4 arranged heat sink can be dispensed with deviating but also.

Furthermore, the reflector of the first embodiment shown may also have other basic geometric shapes. For example, the reflector may have an elliptical basic shape. Also an education of the Reflector 4 according to a segment of a paraboloid of revolution may find application.

A second exemplary embodiment of an optoelectronic module is shown schematically in a sectional view in FIG.

This second embodiment substantially corresponds to the first embodiment described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2. In contrast, the reflector 4 has a curved shape, wherein the curvature of the reflector varies locally.

Furthermore, in contrast to the first exemplary embodiment, the mounting body 5 has a triangular basic shape, wherein in each case a connection carrier 3 is fastened to only two side surfaces 51 of the mounting body.

These two side surfaces are those side surfaces whose surface normal points to the reflector surface 41 of the reflector 4. The side surface of the mounting body 5, the surface normal to the aperture of the reflector out, however, is free of a connection carrier. In this way, it is ensured that the components arranged on the connection carriers radiate predominantly in such a way that the radiation is first deflected at the reflector surface before emerging from the aperture of the reflector and thus, in particular due to the structure of the reflector surface, is mixed. Of course, the mounting body may differ from the embodiment shown basic form, for example, a basic shape with four or more corners. A third exemplary embodiment of an optoelectronic module is shown in FIG. 4 in a schematic plan view. This third embodiment substantially corresponds to the first embodiment described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2. In contrast, the structure of the reflector 4 is irregular. An irregular structuring can be achieved for example by means of roughening. For example, a main body of the reflector can be roughened and subsequently provided with a highly reflective coating, for example a metallic coating. Alternatively, the main body of the reflector 4 may be carried out even highly reflective and be patterned by means of a roughening.

Such a structured reflector surface can be produced in a simple manner.

A fourth exemplary embodiment of an optoelectronic module is shown in schematic plan view (FIG. 5A) and associated sectional view along the line AA '(FIG. 5B) in FIGS. 5A and 5B.

This embodiment substantially corresponds to the first embodiment described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2. In contrast, the mounting body 5 as described in connection with Figure 3 has a triangular basic shape.

Deviating from this, it is of course also possible to use another, in particular polygonal, for example quadrangular, basic form. Furthermore, in contrast to the first embodiment, the aperture 40 is elongate, in particular rectangular.

In the plan view, only the mounting body 5 is shown for improved representability, but not the connection surfaces 3 and the associated components 2 fastened to the mounting body.

A main extension axis of the mounting body 5 runs along a focal line of the reflector 4. The focal line runs parallel to the aperture 40 of the optoelectronic module, ie perpendicular to the sectional plane of FIG. 5B.

The main extension axis of the mounting body thus extends parallel to the aperture of the reflector.

The connection carriers 3 are each in turn oriented relative to the reflector 4, in particular to the aperture 40, such that the components 2 arranged on the connection carriers 3 each have a main emission axis which has an angle of at least 90 ° to the aperture of the reflector.

This ensures that the radiated radiation predominantly strikes first the reflector surface 41 and exits the aperture 40 only after thorough mixing at the reflector surface. In this way, an optoelectronic module can be produced, in which the radiation emerging through an oblong aperture has a high degree of homogeneity in the far field. A fifth exemplary embodiment of an optoelectronic module is shown in a schematic plan view (FIG. 6A) and associated sectional view along the line AA '(FIG. 6B) with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B.

This fifth exemplary embodiment essentially corresponds to the first exemplary embodiment described in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein the aperture of the optoelectronic module, as described in connection with FIGS. 5A and 5B, is elongate.

In contrast to the fourth exemplary embodiment described in conjunction with FIGS. 5A and 5B, the optoelectronic module 1 has, in addition to the mounting body 5, two further mounting bodies 50. The mounting bodies 5, 50 each have a main extension axis which run perpendicular to the aperture of the optoelectronic module and furthermore parallel to one another. On the mounting bodies 5 are each arranged on two opposite mounting surfaces 51 connection carrier 3 with components 2 mounted thereon.

The normals of the side surfaces each extend parallel to the aperture of the reflector 4.

The mounting body 5, 50 are arranged side by side along a focal line of the reflector 4. In this way, a radiation characteristic can be achieved in a simplified manner in which the radiation emerges from the optoelectronic module after reflection at the structured reflector surface 41, predominantly at a comparatively small angle to a normal to the aperture 40 of the reflector 4. An embodiment of a mounting body is shown in Figure 7 in a perspective schematic representation.

The mounting body 5 has a plurality of segments 55 which adjoin one another along a main extension axis of the mounting body. The segments 55 are each formed identically and, in the exemplary embodiment shown, each have a square basic shape in cross-section, with the resulting cuboids of the segments 55 each having bevelled edges.

The mounting body 5 is preferably made in one piece. Deviating from the mounting body may also be formed in several pieces.

Relative to the main extension axis, two adjacent segments, for example a first segment 551 and a second segment 552, are each arranged rotated against one another. A side surface 553 of the first segment 551 is thus oblique to a side surface 554 of the second segment 552. Deviating from the embodiment shown, the side surfaces 51 of the segments can also be alternatively or additionally tilted against each other.

The side surfaces 51 of the segments 55 are preferably each made flat. An attachment of, in particular rigid, connection carriers is thereby simplified. Of course, the segments in cross section in another basic form, in particular a polygonal basic shape with one of four different number of corners, for example, with three, five or six corners executed. The invention is not limited by the description with reference to the embodiments. Rather, the invention encompasses any novel feature as well as any combination of features, which in particular includes any combination of features in the patent claims, even if this feature or combination itself is not explicitly stated in the patent claims or the exemplary embodiments.

This patent application claims the priority of German Patent Application 102009010213.2, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
