Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lighting module according to the preamble of claim 1, which has a plate-shaped active element for emitting light, which is arranged on a carrier element.
- the active element may in particular be an OLED (organic light emitting diodes) structure or a QLED (quantum dot light emitting diodes) structure.
- OLEDs or QLEDs are also the focus of attention since novel surface light elements can be realized on the basis of such structures.
- a flat luminaire with a moderate luminance compared to a classic LED an OLED or QLED is ideally suited for the production of flat, diffuse light sources.
- an OLED or QLED has the properties of a so-called Lambertian radiator with a constant luminance at arbitrary emission angles. Accordingly, it is particularly suitable for forming large-area light sources.
- An OLED or QLED represents a current-driven component. Accordingly, a homogeneous current distribution over the luminous area is extremely important in order to achieve a uniform and homogeneous light emission.
- a limitation of this homogeneity is given by the required transparent electrode, which is to be arranged at least on one side of the OLED or QLED structure. This transparent electrode is usually formed on the basis of transparent conductive oxides (TCO) or extremely thin metal layers. Due to the low conductivity of these materials, however, there is a limitation of
- these current conductors are usually made of non-transparent metal films with a high through further interconnects
- FIG. 4 shows the basic structure of a planar OLED or QLED surface illumination element 100, as is known from the prior art, in a plan view.
- the reference numeral 110 designates a carrier substrate, which is usually formed of glass, a transparent plastic film or a similar material.
- the active OLED or QLED structure 111 is arranged, which is supplied via the anode terminals 112 and the cathode terminals 113 with power.
- Edge encapsulation 121 bridge formed and the active surface 111 surrounding area.
- the encapsulation 121 which may typically be of a glass, a plastic film or the like, serves to protect the active structure 111 from external influences. In particular, the penetration of moisture and oxygen into the structure 111 is thereby avoided.
- the interconnects 112a and 113a bridging the encapsulation 121 are usually formed from ITO or alternatively from FTO, ZnO, PEDOT or the like.
- the carrier element 110 has a projection on the outer circumference of the active surface 111, which projection is used to arrange the connections 112 and 113 formed as planar conductor tracks.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a novel solution for realizing a lighting module, in particular based on an OLED or QLED, in which the disadvantages just described are avoided.
- the object is achieved by a lighting module, which has the features of claim 1.
- the core idea of the solution according to the invention is to arrange the electrical connections for the power supply of the active element of the lighting module in a novel manner. As before, these connections are formed by conductor tracks which, however, according to the invention are now arranged perpendicular to the plane of the active element and run at least partially on the outer circumference of encapsulation means which laterally surround the active element.
- a lighting module which has:
- a plate-shaped carrier element having a surface on which the active element is arranged, wherein the carrier element has a region projecting with respect to the active element
- the active element laterally
- the conductor paths forming the electrical connections are arranged perpendicular to the plane of the active element and run at least partially on the outer circumference of the encapsulation means.
- a significant reduction of the required edge area for the lighting module can be obtained by the configuration according to the invention, in particular by the novel arrangement of the electrical connections.
- An at least slight projection of the substrate, on which the OLED or QLED structure is arranged, is furthermore required in order to allow circumferential encapsulation, that is, sufficient protection of the active layer.
- the erfmdungswashe solution allows a significant reduction of this supernatant compared to previously known solutions, so that ultimately the non-luminous frame can be minimized.
- This advantage already comes with However, to carry individual light elements, but in particular also affects arrangements with several lighting modules according to the invention, since now the proportion of non-luminous surface drastically reduced and thus the homogeneous light emission over the entire surface of the arrangement can be improved.
- a plate-shaped encapsulation substrate is arranged on the side of the active element opposite the carrier element, which also protects the side of the active element opposite the substrate.
- the electrical connections which are formed by the conductor tracks are in this case preferably arranged on the outer circumference of the encapsulation substrate.
- the terminals may extend over the entire height of the encapsulant substrate, even with the possibility that the interconnects extend over both the height of the encapsulant substrate and the height of the carrier member. A sufficient width of the conductors forming the electrical connections is thus ensured in each case, which is of high relevance in view of the required power supply to the active element.
- the lateral encapsulants may be formed, for example, by a peripheral frame of the encapsulant substrate.
- Encapsulation substrate itself can be made opaque or alternatively also made of a transparent material, for example of glass or plastic. In the case of a translucent execution is accordingly a
- the support element which usually forms the primary emission surface of the arrangement, is
- a translucent material in particular glass or plastic.
- the active element is preferably formed by an OLED or QLED structure.
- a preferred example of application of the solution according to the invention consists of a planar lighting arrangement, which consists of a plurality of lighting modules, which are connected in series or in parallel with each other.
- the electrical connection of the lighting modules with each other can be done in particular via the laterally arranged electrical connections. Also this advantage of the simple Connection of the light module with each other results from the inventive lateral arrangement of the connections.
- Figures la and lb views of a first embodiment of a lighting module according to the invention
- Figures 2a and 2b are views of a second embodiment of a lighting module according to the invention
- Figures 3a and 3b are views of a third embodiment of a lighting module according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 shows a lighting module according to the known state of the art
- Edge encapsulation is realized, which is why an area is to be provided around the active surface in order to allow a bonding of encapsulation substrate and carrier substrate.
- Such measures limit the possibilities for interconnecting a plurality of light-emitting elements to form larger, homogeneous illuminated areas, since basically non-emitting areas remain between the individual luminous areas, giving the overall impression of the luminous area
- FIGS. la and lb show - in plan view and in sectional view - first a first embodiment of a lighting module 1 according to the invention, which is still very similar to the known from the prior art and shown in Figure 4 module 100. So again is on a flat support element or
- Carrier substrate 10 which is preferably formed of glass or a translucent plastic film, an active, plate-shaped element 11 arranged in the form of an OLED or QLED.
- the side of the active surface 11 opposite the carrier substrate 10 is covered by an encapsulation substrate 12 which, depending on whether light emission on both sides or only in one direction is desired, is again made of a light-transmissive material (for example glass or plastic) or an opaque material can be formed.
- a light-transmissive material for example glass or plastic
- an opaque material can be formed.
- Main task of this encapsulation substrate 20 is primarily to protect the back of the active layer 11 from external influences, in particular to prevent the ingress of moisture, oxygen or the like.
- a lateral sheathing of the active surface 11 is required.
- This is formed in the present case by a peripheral frame 21.
- the frame 21 is preferably integrally connected to the encapsulation substrate 20, so part of the
- Encapsulation substrate 20 but could alternatively be formed by a separate component.
- the encapsulation substrate 20 with the frame 21 thus forms an approximately square recess, in which the active element 11 is inserted.
- Frame 21 is accordingly the active element 11 completely or sheathed on all sides.
- the lateral anode connections 30 can be seen, which are connected to one another at two
- a connection between the terminals 30 and the active element 11 via feeds 13 a which are arranged between the carrier substrate 10 and the peripheral frame 21 and may consist of ITO, FTO, ZnO, PDOT or similar materials.
- the connection between the terminals 30 and the leads 13a via conductive adhesive and / or by bonding or soldering.
- the peculiarity of the solution according to the invention consists in the fact that the terminals 30 are in turn designed as planar printed conductors, but now not aligned parallel to the plane of the active element 11 but perpendicular thereto and arranged on the outer circumference of the encapsulation substrate 20 and the frame 21. Accordingly, despite substantially the same area of these terminals 30 compared to the solution of Figure 4, no further protruding portion of the support substrate 10 is required, so that the thickness of the rotating frame, which does not light, substantially to the dimensions of
- Edge caps 21 is limited. Since such a frame typically has a width of about 1 to 2 mm from the outer edge of the carrier substrate 10, as compared to the solution in Figure 4, a significant reduction in the area requirements, in particular the non-luminous area can be achieved.
- the thickness of the active element 11 to illustrate the inventive concept is shown clearly exaggerated. In reality, this OLED or QLED structure 11 has an extremely small thickness compared to the carrier substrate 10 and / or encapsulation substrate 20. Furthermore, applies both for the embodiment of Figures la and lb as well as for the other exemplary embodiments according to the invention that the invention is not limited to square lighting modules. Instead, the light module may have any shape, in particular a polygonal shape or a rotationally symmetrical or oval shape. However, in particular structures are preferred, which allow a planar merging of several such lighting modules to a gapless larger luminous area.
- FIGS. 2a and 2b A further improvement or reduction of the circulating, non-luminous edge can be achieved according to the variant illustrated in FIGS. 2a and 2b, wherein identical elements are again provided with the same reference numerals.
- the Randverkapselung is replaced by means of the circumferential frame 21 in the first embodiment by a so-called Vollvidverkapselung.
- no circumferential frame 21 is now provided, which protects the lateral extent of the active element 11. Instead, the
- Carrier substrate 10, active element 11 and encapsulation substrate 20 to connect together.
- the encapsulation substrate 20 requires only a very slight lateral projection with respect to the active element 11 in order to allow full encapsulation of the active element 11.
- the feeders 13a are provided, which enable the electrical connection between active element 11 and terminals 30. The terminals 30, so the traces for powering the
- the outer periphery of the luminous module 1 is almost completely formed by the connections 30 or the connections located on the other two side surfaces.
- the interconnects 30 now extend over the entire height of the luminous module 1, that is to say both over the height of the encapsulation substrate 20 and the carrier substrate 10. Due to the increased area of the interconnects 30, an even better Slxom feed can be achieved. In addition, in comparison to the previously discussed embodiments, the conductor thickness can be reduced.
- the interconnects 30 project slightly into the gap between the carrier substrate 10 and the encapsulation substrate 20 in the edge area of the active element 11. In order to facilitate the contact between the contact areas 30 and the feeds 13a, it is preferable for the encapsulation substrate 20 to be in the
- Edge region slightly bevelled, that is sloping outwards.
- the resulting area requirement for the non-luminous frame corresponds to Essentially the space requirement of the second exemplary embodiment.
- the production of the side contact surfaces can also take place by means of printing or dispensing processes, which makes possible a simple and cost-effective variant of the production of OLED or QLED surface radiators.
- connection of a plurality of corresponding lighting modules to a flat luminous element is facilitated.
- the modules can be connected to each other both serially and in parallel, with the particular advantage that the proportion of non-luminous surfaces and spaces can be significantly reduced. Accordingly, a uniform and homogeneous light emission can be achieved over a large area.
