Description

この発明は、基体に蛍光体、蛍光ガラス等の蛍光物質を担持させて成る蛍光物質担持体及びその製造方法、上記蛍光物質担持体を用いた発光ダイオードに係り、特に、基体に担持させる蛍光物質の量を増大させることができる高輝度な蛍光物質担持体及びその製造方法と、上記蛍光物質担持体を用いた高輝度な発光ダイオードに関する。   The present invention relates to a fluorescent material carrier formed by supporting a fluorescent material such as a fluorescent material or fluorescent glass on a substrate, a method for producing the same, and a light emitting diode using the fluorescent material carrier, and more particularly, a fluorescent material to be supported on the substrate. The present invention relates to a high-brightness fluorescent substance carrier capable of increasing the amount of the phosphor, a manufacturing method thereof, and a high-brightness light emitting diode using the fluorescent substance carrier.

基体に蛍光体、蛍光ガラス等の蛍光物質を担持させて成る蛍光物質担持体として、本出願人は先に、特開２００５−１０５４２３号を提案した。
図１０乃至図１２に示すように、この蛍光物質担持体70は、多数の繊維72絡み合ってシート状に形成された不織布より成る基体74と、上記不織布を構成する繊維72の表面に被着・担持された蛍光物質としての蛍光体76とから成る。 The present applicant has previously proposed Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-105423 as a fluorescent material carrier in which a fluorescent material such as a fluorescent material or fluorescent glass is supported on a substrate.
As shown in FIG. 10 to FIG. 12, this fluorescent material carrier 70 is attached to the surface of a base 74 made of a nonwoven fabric formed in a sheet shape in which a large number of fibers 72 are intertwined, and the fibers 72 constituting the nonwoven fabric. And a fluorescent material 76 as a supported fluorescent material.

多数の上記繊維72が絡み合ってシート状に形成された不織布は、繊維72間に多数の空隙78（図１２参照）が形成されており、また、多数の繊維72が立体的に絡み合っているため、単位体積当たりの繊維72の表面積が極めて大きいものである。   The nonwoven fabric formed in the form of a sheet in which a large number of the fibers 72 are intertwined has a large number of voids 78 (see FIG. 12) formed between the fibers 72, and the numerous fibers 72 are intertwined in three dimensions. The surface area of the fiber 72 per unit volume is extremely large.

上記蛍光物質担持体70の基体74を形成する不織布の繊維72表面の蛍光体76に、紫外線等の光が照射されると、この光が所定波長の可視光等の光に波長変換されて放射されるのである。
而して、上記蛍光物質担持体70にあっては、多数の繊維72が立体的に絡み合って形成され、単位体積当たりの繊維72の表面積が極めて大きい不織布を構成する繊維72の表面に、蛍光体76を担持せしめたことから、基体74に担持する蛍光体76の量を飛躍的に増大させることができるのである。 When the phosphor 76 on the surface of the nonwoven fabric fiber 72 forming the substrate 74 of the fluorescent material carrier 70 is irradiated with light such as ultraviolet rays, the light is wavelength-converted into light such as visible light having a predetermined wavelength and emitted. It is done.
Therefore, in the fluorescent material carrier 70, a large number of fibers 72 are entangled three-dimensionally, and the surface of the fibers 72 constituting the nonwoven fabric in which the surface area of the fibers 72 per unit volume is extremely large is fluorescent. Since the body 76 is carried, the amount of the phosphor 76 carried on the substrate 74 can be dramatically increased.

尚、本出願人は、特開２００６−６００９９号において、上記蛍光物質担持体70を用いた発光ダイオードについても提案を行っている。

JP-A-2005-105423 JP 2006-60099 A

蛍光体76から放射される光の輝度は、蛍光体76の量に略比例することから、蛍光物質担持体70の輝度を向上させるためには、基体74に担持させる蛍光体76の量をできるだけ多くすることが必要である。   Since the luminance of the light emitted from the phosphor 76 is substantially proportional to the amount of the phosphor 76, in order to improve the luminance of the phosphor support 70, the amount of the phosphor 76 supported on the substrate 74 is as much as possible. It is necessary to do more.

出願人が提案した上記従来の蛍光物質担持体70は、単位体積当たりの繊維72の表面積が極めて大きい不織布を構成する繊維72の表面に蛍光体76を担持させることにより、基体74に担持する蛍光体76の量を飛躍的に増大させることができるものであるが、より一層、基体に担持させる蛍光物質の量を増大させることができる高輝度な蛍光物質担持体の実現が望まれていた。   The above-described conventional fluorescent material carrier 70 proposed by the applicant is the fluorescent material carried on the substrate 74 by carrying the fluorescent material 76 on the surface of the fiber 72 constituting the nonwoven fabric having a very large surface area of the fiber 72 per unit volume. Although the amount of the body 76 can be dramatically increased, it has been desired to realize a high-luminance fluorescent material-supporting body that can further increase the amount of the fluorescent material supported on the substrate.

上記基体14を形成する不織布は、繊維12間に多数の空隙16（図３参照）が形成されており、また、多数の繊維12が立体的に絡み合っているため、単位体積当たりの繊維12の表面積が極めて大きいものである。
尚、上記繊維12の繊維密度や、不織布の厚さ、目付等を適宜調整することにより、不織布を構成する繊維12の総表面積を任意に増減可能である。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the fluorescent material carrier according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

レーヨン等のセルロース系の化学繊維、ガラス繊維、金属繊維等の短繊維から成り、その直径は５〜２０μｍ、長さは０．５〜２０mm程度であるが、長さが５０〜１００mm程度の長繊維から成る繊維12を用いることも勿論可能である。
尚、光の透過性の観点から、透光性材料で繊維12を構成するのが好ましい。 The fiber 12 is a resin fiber such as nylon, polyester, acrylic, polypropylene,
It consists of short fiber such as cellulosic chemical fiber such as rayon, glass fiber, metal fiber, etc. The diameter is about 5-20μm and the length is about 0.5-20mm, but the length is about 50-100mm. Of course, it is also possible to use fibers 12 made of fibers.
From the viewpoint of light transmittance, it is preferable that the fiber 12 is made of a light transmissive material.

上記第１の蛍光物質担持体10の基体14を形成する不織布の繊維12表面の蛍光体18、及び、繊維12間の空隙16に充填された結合剤20中の蛍光体18に、紫外線や青色可視光等の光が照射されると、この光が所定波長の可視光等の光に波長変換されて放射されるのである。
而して、上記第１の蛍光物質担持体10にあっては、多数の繊維12が立体的に絡み合って形成され、単位体積当たりの繊維12の表面積が極めて大きい不織布を構成する繊維12の表面に蛍光体18を担持させると共に、繊維12間の空隙16にも蛍光体18を添加した結合剤20を充填したことから、従来の上記蛍光物質担持体70に比べて、基体14に担持する蛍光体18の量を増大させることができ、高輝度な蛍光物質担持体を実現できる。
尚、繊維12間の空隙16に充填された結合剤20は透光性を有しているため、蛍光体18で波長変換された光の透過性も良好である。 The phosphor 18 on the surface of the non-woven fiber 12 forming the substrate 14 of the first phosphor support 10 and the phosphor 18 in the binder 20 filled in the gap 16 between the fibers 12 are exposed to ultraviolet or blue. When light such as visible light is irradiated, this light is converted into light such as visible light having a predetermined wavelength and emitted.
Thus, in the first fluorescent material carrier 10, the surface of the fiber 12 forming a nonwoven fabric in which a large number of fibers 12 are entangled in three dimensions and the surface area of the fibers 12 per unit volume is extremely large. Since the phosphor 18 is supported on the gap 16 and the binder 20 to which the phosphor 18 is added is also filled in the gaps 16 between the fibers 12, the fluorescent material supported on the substrate 14 is compared with the conventional phosphor support 70 described above. The amount of the body 18 can be increased, and a fluorescent substance carrier with high brightness can be realized.
Note that the binder 20 filled in the gaps 16 between the fibers 12 has translucency, and therefore, the transmissivity of light converted in wavelength by the phosphor 18 is also good.

以下において、第１の蛍光物質担持体10の基体14に蛍光体18を担持させる方法について説明する。
先ず、所定長さのシート状の不織布を準備すると共に、粒子状の蛍光体18が分散・添加された液状の結合剤20を液槽（図示せず）内に満たしておく。 Hereinafter, a method for supporting the phosphor 18 on the base 14 of the first phosphor support 10 will be described.
First, a sheet-like non-woven fabric having a predetermined length is prepared, and a liquid binder 20 in which particulate phosphor 18 is dispersed and added is filled in a liquid tank (not shown).

次に、上記不織布を、液槽内の結合剤20中に浸漬した状態で真空雰囲気中に導入して脱気処理を行うことにより、繊維12間の空隙16内の空気と結合剤20とを置換させる。
この結果、不織布を構成する繊維12間の全ての空隙16に、蛍光体18が添加された結合剤20が充填される。
尚、結合剤20に分散・添加された蛍光体18は、液状の結合剤20中で移動するが、固体である繊維12に衝突して移動が妨げられる結果、上記の通り、繊維12表面に被着される蛍光体18の量は、空隙16に充填された結合剤20中の蛍光体18の量よりも多くなり、さらに、空隙16に充填された結合剤20中の蛍光体18の分布状態は、繊維12に近づくに従って蛍光体18の量が多くなる。 Next, the nonwoven fabric is introduced into a vacuum atmosphere in a state where it is immersed in the binder 20 in the liquid tank and subjected to a deaeration treatment, whereby the air in the gaps 16 between the fibers 12 and the binder 20 Replace.
As a result, all the gaps 16 between the fibers 12 constituting the nonwoven fabric are filled with the binder 20 to which the phosphor 18 is added.
The phosphor 18 dispersed and added to the binder 20 moves in the liquid binder 20, but as a result of colliding with the solid fiber 12 and being prevented from moving, as described above, on the surface of the fiber 12. The amount of the phosphor 18 to be deposited is larger than the amount of the phosphor 18 in the binder 20 filled in the gap 16, and the distribution of the phosphor 18 in the binder 20 filled in the gap 16 is further increased. In the state, the amount of the phosphor 18 increases as the fiber 12 is approached.

その後、不織布を所定温度で所定時間加熱して、液状の結合剤20を固化させる。
例えば、結合剤20が熱硬化性樹脂であるシリコン樹脂の場合には、８０〜１５０℃で２〜４時間加熱する。
また、結合剤20が液状のゾルゲルガラス材料の場合には、８０〜１２０℃で０．５〜１時間加熱することにより、ゾルゲルガラス材料を加水分解、重合反応させて固体であるゾルゲルガラスを形成する。
上記ゾルゲルガラスは、金属アルコキシドや金属アセチルアセトネート、金属カルボキシレート等の金属有機化合物を出発物質として、その加水分解、重合反応を利用して合成されるものであり、溶液状態から出発するため、任意の形状のガラスに成形容易である。
上記ゾルゲルガラス材料は、一般式M(OR)n（M:金属元素、R:アルキル基、ｎ：金属の酸化数）の金属有機化合物、水（加水分解のため）、溶媒としてメタノール、DMF（ヂメチルフォルムアミド）、加水分解・重合反応の調整剤としてアンモニアで構成することができ、このゾルゲルガラス材料を加水分解、重合反応させることにより、ゲル化し、硬いガラス状の無機質膜形成が生じてゾルゲルガラスが形成されるのである。
結合剤20を固化した後、不織布を所定形状にカットすることにより、上記第１の蛍光物質担持体10が完成するのである。 Thereafter, the nonwoven fabric is heated at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time to solidify the liquid binder 20.
For example, when the binder 20 is a silicone resin that is a thermosetting resin, the binder 20 is heated at 80 to 150 ° C. for 2 to 4 hours.
When the binder 20 is a liquid sol-gel glass material, the sol-gel glass material is hydrolyzed and polymerized to form a solid sol-gel glass by heating at 80 to 120 ° C. for 0.5 to 1 hour. To do.
The sol-gel glass is synthesized using a metal organic compound such as metal alkoxide, metal acetylacetonate, or metal carboxylate as a starting material, and its hydrolysis and polymerization reaction. It is easy to mold into glass of any shape.
The sol-gel glass material includes a metal organic compound of the general formula M (OR) n (M: metal element, R: alkyl group, n: metal oxidation number), water (for hydrolysis), methanol as a solvent, DMF ( Dimethylformamide), which can be composed of ammonia as a regulator of hydrolysis / polymerization reaction. By hydrolyzing and polymerizing this sol-gel glass material, gelation occurs, resulting in the formation of a hard glassy inorganic film. A sol-gel glass is formed.
After the binder 20 is solidified, the non-woven fabric is cut into a predetermined shape, whereby the first fluorescent material carrier 10 is completed.

上記においては、繊維の集合体として、不織布を用いた場合を例に挙げて説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、多数の繊維を織り込んで形成した織布を用い、該織布を構成する繊維に蛍光体を担持させても良い。この織布も、不織布には及ばないものの、単位体積当たりの繊維の表面積が大きいものである。   In the above, the case where a nonwoven fabric is used as an example of the fiber assembly has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a woven fabric formed by weaving a large number of fibers is used. You may make fluorescent substance carry | support to the fiber which comprises a woven fabric. Although this woven fabric does not reach the nonwoven fabric, it has a large surface area of fibers per unit volume.

図５及び図６は、本発明に係る第２の蛍光物質担持体30を示すものであり、該第２の蛍光物質担持体30は、弾性多孔部材より成るシート状の基体32を有している。上記弾性多孔部材は、発泡ウレタン樹脂等より成るスポンジで構成されている。尚、光の透過性の観点から、透光性材料で弾性多孔部材を構成するのが好ましい。
上基体32を形成する弾性多孔部材は、１０〜５００μｍ程度の多数の微細な空孔34を有しており、単位体積当たりの表面積が極めて大きいものである。 5 and 6 show a second fluorescent material carrier 30 according to the present invention, and the second fluorescent material carrier 30 has a sheet-like substrate 32 made of an elastic porous member. Yes. The elastic porous member is made of a sponge made of foamed urethane resin or the like. In addition, it is preferable to comprise an elastic porous member with a translucent material from a viewpoint of the light transmittance.
The elastic porous member forming the upper substrate 32 has a large number of fine pores 34 of about 10 to 500 μm, and has a very large surface area per unit volume.

また、弾性多孔部材で形成された上記基体32に、蛍光体18を分散・添加した透光性の結合剤20を含浸することにより、空孔34内に、蛍光体18が添加された結合剤20を充填させて成る。
図７に示すように、弾性多孔部材の全ての空孔34内に結合剤20が充填されている。
また、図８に示すように、空孔34内の蛍光体18の分布状態は、空孔34を形成する壁部36の表面に被着される蛍光体18の量が最も多く、壁部36から遠ざかるに従って蛍光体18の量が少なくなっている。 Further, by impregnating the base 32 formed of an elastic porous member with a light-transmitting binder 20 in which the phosphor 18 is dispersed and added, the binder in which the phosphor 18 is added in the pores 34. 20 filled.
As shown in FIG. 7, the binder 20 is filled in all the holes 34 of the elastic porous member.
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the distribution state of the phosphors 18 in the holes 34 is such that the amount of the phosphors 18 deposited on the surface of the wall part 36 forming the holes 34 is the largest, The amount of the phosphor 18 decreases as the distance from the distance increases.

上記第２の蛍光物質担持体30の基体32を形成する空孔34内に充填された結合剤20中の蛍光体18に、紫外線や青色可視光等の光が照射されると、この光が所定波長の可視光等の光に波長変換されて放射されるのである。
而して、上記第２の蛍光物質担持体30にあっては、多数の空孔34を有し、単位体積当たりの表面積が極めて大きい弾性多孔部材を構成する空孔34内に蛍光体18を添加した結合剤20を充填したことから、基体32に担持する蛍光体18の量を増大させることができ、高輝度な蛍光物質担持体を実現できる。
尚、空孔34内に充填された結合剤20は透光性を有しているため、蛍光体18で波長変換された光の透過性も良好である。 When the phosphor 18 in the binder 20 filled in the holes 34 forming the base 32 of the second fluorescent material carrier 30 is irradiated with light such as ultraviolet rays or blue visible light, the light is emitted. The light is converted into light such as visible light having a predetermined wavelength and emitted.
Thus, the second fluorescent material carrier 30 has a large number of holes 34, and the phosphor 18 is placed in the holes 34 constituting an elastic porous member having a very large surface area per unit volume. Since the added binder 20 is filled, the amount of the phosphor 18 carried on the substrate 32 can be increased, and a fluorescent substance carrier with high luminance can be realized.
Note that since the binder 20 filled in the holes 34 has translucency, the transmissivity of light converted in wavelength by the phosphor 18 is also good.

第２の蛍光物質担持体30の基体32に蛍光体18を担持させる方法は、上記第１の蛍光物質担持体10と略同一である。
すなわち、先ず、所定長さのシート状の弾性多孔部材を準備すると共に、蛍光体18が分散・添加された液状の結合剤20を液槽（図示せず）内に満たしておく。
次に、上記弾性多孔部材を、液槽内の結合剤20中に浸漬した状態で真空雰囲気中に導入して脱気処理を行うことにより、空孔34内の空気と結合剤20とを置換させる。
この結果、弾性多孔部材を構成する全ての空孔34に、蛍光体18が添加された結合剤20が充填される。
尚、結合剤20に分散・添加された蛍光体18は、液状の結合剤20中で移動するが、空孔34を形成する壁部36に衝突して移動が妨げられる結果、上記の通り、空孔34を形成する壁部36の表面に被着される蛍光体18の量が最も多く、壁部36から遠ざかるに従って蛍光体18の量が少なくなる。 The method of supporting the phosphor 18 on the base 32 of the second fluorescent material carrier 30 is substantially the same as that of the first fluorescent material carrier 10.
That is, first, a sheet-like elastic porous member having a predetermined length is prepared, and a liquid binder 20 in which the phosphor 18 is dispersed and added is filled in a liquid tank (not shown).
Next, the air in the holes 34 and the binder 20 are replaced by introducing the elastic porous member into the vacuum atmosphere in a state immersed in the binder 20 in the liquid tank and performing a deaeration treatment. Let
As a result, all the holes 34 constituting the elastic porous member are filled with the binder 20 to which the phosphor 18 is added.
The phosphor 18 dispersed and added to the binder 20 moves in the liquid binder 20, but as a result of colliding with the wall portion 36 forming the pores 34 and preventing the movement, as described above. The amount of the phosphor 18 deposited on the surface of the wall portion 36 forming the hole 34 is the largest, and the amount of the phosphor 18 decreases as the distance from the wall portion 36 increases.

その後、弾性多孔部材を所定温度で所定時間加熱して、液状の結合剤20を固化させた後、弾性多孔部材を所定形状にカットすることにより、上記第２の蛍光物質担持体30が完成するのである。   Thereafter, the elastic porous member is heated at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time to solidify the liquid binder 20, and then the elastic porous member is cut into a predetermined shape, whereby the second fluorescent material carrier 30 is completed. It is.

図９は、上記第１の蛍光物質担持体10を用いた発光ダイオード（ＬＥＤ）40を示すものである。該ＬＥＤ40は、樹脂等の絶縁材料より成り、孔42が形成された略リング状の枠体44と、第１のリードフレーム46及び第２のリードフレーム48を有している。
第１のリードフレーム46は、上記枠体44の底面44ａの略全面を覆う先端部46ａと、枠体44を貫通して外方へ向かって水平方向に取り出される後端部46ｂを有している。第１のリードフレーム46の先端部46ａの一部は上記孔42内に露出しており、該孔42内に露出した第１のリードフレーム46の先端部46ａに、ＬＥＤチップ50をダイボンドすることにより、第１のリードフレーム46とＬＥＤチップ50底面の一方の電極（図示せず）とを電気的に接続している。 FIG. 9 shows a light emitting diode (LED) 40 using the first fluorescent material carrier 10. The LED 40 is made of an insulating material such as resin, and has a substantially ring-shaped frame body 44 in which a hole 42 is formed, a first lead frame 46 and a second lead frame 48.
The first lead frame 46 has a front end portion 46a that covers substantially the entire bottom surface 44a of the frame body 44, and a rear end portion 46b that passes through the frame body 44 and is taken out in the horizontal direction. Yes. A part of the tip portion 46a of the first lead frame 46 is exposed in the hole 42, and the LED chip 50 is die-bonded to the tip portion 46a of the first lead frame 46 exposed in the hole 42. Thus, the first lead frame 46 and one electrode (not shown) on the bottom surface of the LED chip 50 are electrically connected.

また、第２のリードフレーム48は、上記枠体44を貫通して孔42内に露出する先端部48ａと、枠体44の外方へ向かって水平方向に取り出されている後端部48ｂを有しており、第２のリードフレーム48の先端部48ａと、上記ＬＥＤチップ50上面の他方の電極（図示せず）とをボンディングワイヤ52を介して電気的に接続して成る。
上記ＬＥＤチップ50は、電圧が印加されると、第１の蛍光物質担持体10及び第２の蛍光物質担持体30に担持された蛍光体18を励起する波長の光を発光し、例えば、窒化ガリウム系半導体結晶で構成されている。 The second lead frame 48 includes a front end portion 48a that penetrates the frame body 44 and is exposed in the hole 42, and a rear end portion 48b that is taken out in the horizontal direction toward the outside of the frame body 44. And is formed by electrically connecting the tip 48a of the second lead frame 48 to the other electrode (not shown) on the upper surface of the LED chip 50 via a bonding wire 52.
When a voltage is applied, the LED chip 50 emits light having a wavelength that excites the phosphor 18 carried on the first phosphor material carrier 10 and the second phosphor material carrier 30, for example, nitriding It is composed of a gallium semiconductor crystal.

上記第１のリードフレーム46の先端部46ａと、第２のリードフレーム48の先端部48ａは、上下方向に所定の間隙を設けて対向配置されることにより、相互に絶縁されている。
而して、本発明のＬＥＤ40にあっては、第１のリードフレーム46の先端部46ａと、第２のリードフレーム48の先端部48ａを同一平面上に配置せず、上下方向に所定の間隙を設けて対向配置したことにより、第１のリードフレーム46の先端部46ａで枠体44の底面44ａの略全面を覆っても、第１のリードフレーム46と第２のリードフレーム48間の絶縁性を確保できるのである。 The distal end portion 46a of the first lead frame 46 and the distal end portion 48a of the second lead frame 48 are insulated from each other by being disposed facing each other with a predetermined gap in the vertical direction.
Thus, in the LED 40 of the present invention, the tip end portion 46a of the first lead frame 46 and the tip end portion 48a of the second lead frame 48 are not arranged on the same plane, but have a predetermined gap in the vertical direction. By providing an opposing arrangement, even if the front end portion 46a of the first lead frame 46 covers substantially the entire bottom surface 44a of the frame body 44, the insulation between the first lead frame 46 and the second lead frame 48 is achieved. It can secure the sex.

また、上記枠体44の孔42内には、シリコン樹脂等より成る透光性のコーティング材54を充填してＬＥＤチップ50を封止して成る。
さらに、上記枠体44の上端には、段部56が形成されており、該段部56上に上記第１の蛍光物質担持体10が載置されている。この結果、上記ＬＥＤチップ50の上方に、第１の蛍光物質担持体10が配置されることとなる。
尚、第１の蛍光物質担持体10とコーティング材54との間には、所定距離の空間58が介在している。 The hole 42 of the frame 44 is filled with a translucent coating material 54 made of silicon resin or the like to seal the LED chip 50.
Further, a step portion 56 is formed at the upper end of the frame body 44, and the first fluorescent material carrier 10 is placed on the step portion 56. As a result, the first fluorescent material carrier 10 is disposed above the LED chip 50.
A space 58 of a predetermined distance is interposed between the first fluorescent material carrier 10 and the coating material 54.

而して、上記第１のリードフレーム46及び第２のリードフレーム48を介してＬＥＤチップ50に電圧が印加されると、ＬＥＤチップ50が発光して、上記蛍光体18を励起させる波長の紫外線や青色可視光等の光が放射される。この光が、ＬＥＤチップ50の上方に配置されている第１の蛍光物質担持体10に担持された蛍光体18に照射され、所定波長の可視光等の光に波長変換された後、外部へ放射されるのである。   Thus, when a voltage is applied to the LED chip 50 via the first lead frame 46 and the second lead frame 48, the LED chip 50 emits light and emits ultraviolet light having a wavelength that excites the phosphor 18. And light such as blue visible light is emitted. This light is applied to the phosphor 18 carried on the first phosphor material carrier 10 disposed above the LED chip 50, converted into light such as visible light having a predetermined wavelength, and then to the outside. It is radiated.

而して、本発明の発光ダイオード40にあっては、単位体積当たりの繊維12の表面積が極めて大きい不織布を構成する繊維12の表面に蛍光体18を担持させると共に、繊維12間の空隙16にも蛍光体18を添加した結合剤20を充填したことにより、基体14に担持する蛍光体18の量を増大させた上記第１の蛍光物質担持体10を用いたことから、高輝度な発光ダイオード40を実現できる。   Thus, in the light emitting diode 40 of the present invention, the phosphor 18 is supported on the surface of the fiber 12 constituting the nonwoven fabric having a very large surface area of the fiber 12 per unit volume, and the gap 16 between the fibers 12 is supported. Since the first fluorescent material carrier 10 in which the amount of the phosphor 18 carried on the substrate 14 is increased by filling the binder 20 to which the phosphor 18 is added, a high-intensity light emitting diode. 40 can be realized.

尚、上記本発明の発光ダイオード40において、第１の蛍光物質担持体10に代えて、第２の蛍光物質担持体30を用いても良い。
この場合も、多数の空孔34を有し、単位体積当たりの表面積が極めて大きい弾性多孔部材を構成する空孔34内に蛍光体18を添加した結合剤20を充填したことにより、基体32に担持する蛍光体18の量を増大させた第２の蛍光物質担持体30を用いることから、高輝度な発光ダイオード40を実現できる。 In the light emitting diode 40 of the present invention, a second fluorescent material carrier 30 may be used instead of the first fluorescent material carrier 10.
Also in this case, the base material 32 is filled with the binder 20 added with the phosphor 18 in the holes 34 constituting the elastic porous member having a large number of holes 34 and having a very large surface area per unit volume. Since the second fluorescent material carrier 30 in which the amount of the phosphor 18 to be carried is increased is used, a high-intensity light emitting diode 40 can be realized.
