It is equipped with a.

LEDチップ10は、青色光を放射するGaN系青色LEDチップであり、結晶成長用基板としてサファイア基板に比べて格子定数や結晶構造がGaNに近く且つ導電性を有するn形のSiC基板を用いており、SiC基板の主表面側にGaN系化合物半導体材料により形成されて例えばダブルへテロ構造を有する積層構造部からなる発光部がエピタキシャル成長法(例えば、MOVPE法など)により成長されているが、結晶成長用基板はSC基板に限らず、例えば、GaN基板などでもよい。ここで、LEDチップ10は、一表面側(図1(b)における上面側)にアノード電極(図示せず)が形成され、他表面側(図1(b)における下面側)にカソード電極が形成されている。上記カソード電極および上記アノード電極は、Ni膜とAu膜との積層膜により構成してあるが、上記カソード電極および上記アノード電極の材料は特に限定するものではなく、良好なオーミック特性が得られる材料であればよく、例えば、Alなどを採用してもよい。また、LEDチップ10の構造は特に限定するものではなく、例えば、結晶成長用基板の主表面側に発光部などをエピタキシャル成長した後に発光部を支持する支持基板(例えば、Si基板など)を発光部に固着してから、結晶成長用基板などを除去したものを用いてもよい。   The LED chip 10 is a GaN-based blue LED chip that emits blue light, and uses an n-type SiC substrate having a lattice constant and a crystal structure close to GaN as compared to a sapphire substrate and having conductivity as a crystal growth substrate. In addition, a light-emitting portion formed of a GaN-based compound semiconductor material and having a double-heterostructure, for example, on the main surface side of the SiC substrate is grown by an epitaxial growth method (for example, MOVPE method). The growth substrate is not limited to the SC substrate, and may be a GaN substrate, for example. Here, the LED chip 10 has an anode electrode (not shown) formed on one surface side (upper surface side in FIG. 1B) and a cathode electrode on the other surface side (lower surface side in FIG. 1B).

The cathode electrode and the anode electrode are composed of a laminated film of a Ni film and an Au film, but the material of the cathode electrode and the anode electrode is not particularly limited, and a material capable of obtaining good ohmic characteristics For example, Al or the like may be employed. Further, the structure of the LED chip 10 is not particularly limited. For example, a light emitting unit is formed by supporting a light emitting unit after epitaxially growing the light emitting unit or the like on the main surface side of the crystal growth substrate. Alternatively, a substrate obtained by removing the crystal growth substrate or the like may be used.

実装基板20は、第1の熱伝導性材料(例えば、Cuなど)からなる矩形板状(本実施形態では、正方形状)の伝熱板21と、伝熱板21よりも小さく且つLEDチップ10よりも大きな平面サイズに形成され伝熱板21の一表面側(図1(b)における上面側)に接合された第2の熱伝導性材料(例えば、AlNなど)からなる矩形板状(本実施形態では、正方形状)のサブマウント部材30と、ポリイミドフィルムからなる有機系絶縁性基材22aの一表面側にLEDチップ10に電気的に接続される上述の配線パターン23が形成されてなり伝熱板21の上記一表面側に埋設された2つの帯状の配線基板22,22とで構成されており、サブマウント部材30における伝熱板21側とは反対側にLEDチップ10が接合されている。したがって、本実施形態では、LEDチップ10が伝熱板21の上記一表面側に搭載されることとなり、LEDチップ10で発生した熱が配線基板22,22を介さずにサブマウント部材30および伝熱板21に伝熱されるようになっている。ここにおいて、各配線基板22,22は、配線パターン23,23の表面が伝熱板21の上記一表面と略面一となるように伝熱板21に埋設されている。なお、有機系絶縁性基材22aの材料としては、FR4、FR5、紙フェノールなどを採用してもよい。   The mounting substrate 20 is a rectangular plate-like (square shape in this embodiment) heat transfer plate 21 made of a first heat conductive material (for example, Cu), and is smaller than the heat transfer plate 21 and the LED chip 10. A rectangular plate made of a second thermal conductive material (for example, AlN) formed in a larger plane size and joined to one surface side (the upper surface side in FIG. 1B) of the heat transfer plate 21 In the embodiment, the above-described wiring pattern 23 that is electrically connected to the LED chip 10 is formed on one surface side of the organic insulating base material 22a made of a polyimide film and the submount member 30 having a square shape. It is composed of two belt-like wiring boards 22 and 22 embedded on the one surface side of the heat transfer plate 21, and the LED chip 10 is bonded to the side opposite to the heat transfer plate 21 side in the submount member 30. ing. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the LED chip 10 is mounted on the one surface side of the heat transfer plate 21, and the heat generated in the LED chip 10 is transmitted to the submount member 30 and the heat transfer plate without passing through the wiring boards 22 and 22. Heat is transferred to the hot plate 21. Here, the wiring boards 22 and 22 are embedded in the heat transfer plate 21 so that the surfaces of the wiring patterns 23 and 23 are substantially flush with the one surface of the heat transfer plate 21. In addition, as a material of the organic insulating base material 22a, FR4, FR5, paper phenol, or the like may be employed.

2つの配線基板22は、平面視においてサブマウント部材30の1つの対角線の延長線上でサブマウント部材30を挟むように配置されており、各配線パターン23は、サブマウント部材30に近い側にボンディングワイヤ14が接続される矩形状の端子部23aを有し、サブマウント部材30から遠い側に円形状の外部接続用電極部23bを有している。なお、配線基板22の配線パターン23は、Cu膜とNi膜とAu膜との積層膜により構成されている。   The two wiring boards 22 are arranged so as to sandwich the submount member 30 on one diagonal extension line of the submount member 30 in plan view, and each wiring pattern 23 is bonded to the side close to the submount member 30. A rectangular terminal portion 23 a to which the wire 14 is connected is provided, and a circular external connection electrode portion 23 b is provided on the side far from the submount member 30. The wiring pattern 23 of the wiring board 22 is composed of a laminated film of a Cu film, a Ni film, and an Au film.

サブマウント部材30は、LEDチップ10と伝熱板21との線膨張率の差に起因してLEDチップ10に働く応力を緩和する応力緩和機能と、LEDチップ10で発生した熱を伝熱板21においてLEDチップ10のチップサイズよりも広い範囲に伝熱させる熱伝導機能を有している。したがって、本実施形態の発光装置では、LEDチップ10がサブマウント部材30を介して伝熱板21に搭載されているので、LEDチップ10で発生した熱をサブマウント部材30および伝熱板21を介して効率良く放熱させることができるとともに、LEDチップ10と伝熱板21との線膨張率差に起因してLEDチップ10に働く応力を緩和することができる。   The submount member 30 includes a stress relaxation function for relaxing stress acting on the LED chip 10 due to a difference in linear expansion coefficient between the LED chip 10 and the heat transfer plate 21, and heat generated by the LED chip 10. 21 has a heat conduction function of transferring heat to a wider range than the chip size of the LED chip 10. Therefore, in the light emitting device of the present embodiment, since the LED chip 10 is mounted on the heat transfer plate 21 via the submount member 30, the heat generated by the LED chip 10 is transferred to the submount member 30 and the heat transfer plate 21. In addition, heat can be efficiently radiated, and stress acting on the LED chip 10 due to a difference in linear expansion coefficient between the LED chip 10 and the heat transfer plate 21 can be reduced.

サブマウント部材30の第2の熱伝導性材料としては、アルミナに比べて熱伝導率が高く且つ絶縁性を有するAlNを採用しており、LEDチップ10は、上記カソード電極がサブマウント部材30におけるLEDチップ10側の表面に設けられ上記カソード電極と接続される導体パターン(図示せず)およびボンディングワイヤ(図示せず)を介して一方の配線パターン23と電気的に接続され、上記アノード電極がボンディングワイヤ14を介して他方の配線パターン23と電気的に接続されている。ここにおいて、LEDチップ10とサブマウント部材30とは、AuSnにより共晶接合され、サブマウント部材30と伝熱板21とも、AuSnにより共晶接合されているが、いずれの共晶接合においても、接合表面にあらかじめAuからなる金属層が形成されている。   As the second heat conductive material of the submount member 30, AlN having higher thermal conductivity and insulation than alumina is adopted, and the LED chip 10 has the cathode electrode in the submount member 30. It is electrically connected to one wiring pattern 23 via a conductor pattern (not shown) and a bonding wire (not shown) provided on the surface of the LED chip 10 and connected to the cathode electrode, and the anode electrode It is electrically connected to the other wiring pattern 23 via the bonding wire 14. Here, the LED chip 10 and the submount member 30 are eutectic bonded by AuSn, and the submount member 30 and the heat transfer plate 21 are also eutectic bonded by AuSn, but in any eutectic bonding, A metal layer made of Au is formed in advance on the bonding surface.

本実施形態では、上述のように、伝熱板21の第1の熱伝導性材料としてCuを採用しているが、Cuに限らず、例えば、Alなどを採用してもよい。また、サブマウント部材30の第2の熱伝導性材料はAlNに限らず、線膨張率がLEDチップ10の結晶成長用基板の材料に比較的近く且つ熱伝導率が高い材料であればよい。なお、サブマウント部材30は、上述の熱伝導機能を有しており、伝熱板21におけるLEDチップ10側の表面の面積はLEDチップ10における伝熱板21側の表面の面積よりも十分に大きいことが望ましい。   In the present embodiment, Cu is adopted as the first heat conductive material of the heat transfer plate 21 as described above, but not limited to Cu, for example, Al may be adopted. Further, the second heat conductive material of the submount member 30 is not limited to AlN, and any material may be used as long as the linear expansion coefficient is relatively close to the material of the crystal growth substrate of the LED chip 10 and the heat conductivity is high. The submount member 30 has the above-described heat conduction function, and the area of the surface of the heat transfer plate 21 on the LED chip 10 side is sufficiently larger than the area of the surface of the LED chip 10 on the heat transfer plate 21 side. Larger is desirable.

なお、サブマウント部材30においてLEDチップ10が接合される側の表面においてLEDチップ10との接合部位の周囲に、LEDチップ10から放射された光を反射する反射膜を形成すれば、LEDチップ10の側面から放射された光がサブマウント部材30に吸収されるのを防止することができ、外部への光取出し効率をさらに高めることが可能となる。ここで、反射膜は、例えば、Ni膜とAl膜との積層膜により構成すればよい。   In addition, if a reflective film that reflects the light emitted from the LED chip 10 is formed around the bonding portion with the LED chip 10 on the surface of the submount member 30 on the side to which the LED chip 10 is bonded, the LED chip 10 is formed. It is possible to prevent the light radiated from the side surface from being absorbed by the submount member 30 and to further increase the light extraction efficiency to the outside. Here, the reflective film may be constituted by a laminated film of a Ni film and an Al film, for example.

色変換部70の平面形状は、ドーナツ状であり、内周線がサブマウント部材30の外周線に沿った矩形状(本実施形態では、正方形状)であり、外周線が伝熱板21の外周線よりも内側に位置する円形状となっている。   The planar shape of the color conversion unit 70 is a donut shape, the inner peripheral line is a rectangular shape (in the present embodiment, a square shape) along the outer peripheral line of the submount member 30, and the outer peripheral line is the heat transfer plate 21. It has a circular shape located inside the outer peripheral line.

ここにおいて、色変換部70は、実装基板20の上記一表面側に一定厚みで設けられ電熱板21に熱結合されている。ここで、色変換部70の一部は配線基板22上に形成されているが、大部分は伝熱板21の上記一表面側に一定厚みで設けられ伝熱板21に熱結合されている。ところで、本実施形態の発光装置は、色変換部70と伝熱板21との間に伝熱板21よりも可視光に対する反射率が高い材料(例えば、Alなど)により形成されLEDチップ10から放射され色変換部70を透過した光や蛍光体から伝熱板21側へ放射された光を反射する反射層40が設けられているが、色変換部70の厚みが大きい場合には反射層40は必ずしも設ける必要はない。   Here, the color conversion unit 70 is provided with a constant thickness on the one surface side of the mounting substrate 20 and is thermally coupled to the electric heating plate 21. Here, a part of the color conversion unit 70 is formed on the wiring substrate 22, but most of the color conversion unit 70 is provided on the one surface side of the heat transfer plate 21 with a constant thickness and is thermally coupled to the heat transfer plate 21. . By the way, the light emitting device of this embodiment is formed of a material (for example, Al) having a higher reflectance with respect to visible light than the heat transfer plate 21 between the color conversion unit 70 and the heat transfer plate 21. A reflection layer 40 is provided to reflect the light emitted and transmitted through the color conversion unit 70 or the light emitted from the phosphor to the heat transfer plate 21 side. When the color conversion unit 70 is thick, the reflection layer 40 is provided. 40 is not necessarily provided.

色変換部70は、透光性材料としてシリコーン樹脂を採用し、蛍光体として黄色蛍光体を採用しているが、色変換部70の透光性材料は、シリコーン樹脂に限らず、例えば、アクリル樹脂、ガラス、有機成分と無機成分とがnmレベルもしくは分子レベルで混合、結合した有機・無機ハイブリッド材料などを採用してもよく、色変換部70の蛍光体も黄色蛍光体に限らず、色調整や演色性を高めるなどの目的で複数種類の蛍光体を用いてもよく、例えば、赤色蛍光体と緑色蛍光体とを用いることで演色性の高い白色光を得ることができる。ここで、複数種類の蛍光体を用いる場合には必ずしも発光色の異なる蛍光体の組み合わせに限らず、例えば、発光色はいずれも黄色で発光スペクトルの異なる複数種類の蛍光体を組み合わせてもよい。また、色変換部70は、少なくとも蛍光体により形成されていればよく、シリコーン樹脂などの透光性材料を用いることなく、蛍光体のみにより形成してもよい。   The color conversion unit 70 employs a silicone resin as the translucent material, and employs a yellow phosphor as the phosphor. However, the translucent material of the color conversion unit 70 is not limited to the silicone resin, for example, acrylic Resin, glass, organic / inorganic hybrid materials in which organic and inorganic components are mixed and combined at the nm level or molecular level may be employed, and the phosphor of the color conversion unit 70 is not limited to a yellow phosphor, but a color A plurality of types of phosphors may be used for the purpose of adjusting and improving the color rendering properties. For example, white light with high color rendering properties can be obtained by using a red phosphor and a green phosphor. Here, when a plurality of types of phosphors are used, the phosphor is not necessarily a combination of phosphors having different emission colors, and for example, a plurality of types of phosphors having an emission color of yellow and different emission spectra may be combined. Moreover, the color conversion part 70 should just be formed with the fluorescent substance at least, and may be formed only with fluorescent substance, without using translucent materials, such as a silicone resin.

また、上述の封止部50は、実装基板20の上記一表面側において半球状に形成されており、頂部に反射部60が設けられている。ここで、封止部50は、平面視における外周線が円形状であり、色変換部70の外周線と略一致するように形成されている。なお、封止部50の形状は半球状の形状に限らず、発光装置の所望の配光特性に応じて適宜設定すればよく、例えば半楕球状の形状としてもよく、この場合には色変換部70の外周形状を楕円形状とすればよい。また、反射部60は、LEDチップ10から放射された光が色変換部70側へ反射するようにLEDチップ10との対向面の形状が設計されている。   Further, the above-described sealing portion 50 is formed in a hemispherical shape on the one surface side of the mounting substrate 20, and the reflection portion 60 is provided on the top. Here, the sealing portion 50 has a circular outer peripheral line in plan view, and is formed so as to substantially coincide with the outer peripheral line of the color conversion unit 70. The shape of the sealing portion 50 is not limited to a hemispherical shape, and may be appropriately set according to a desired light distribution characteristic of the light emitting device. For example, a semi-elliptical shape may be used. The outer peripheral shape of the part 70 may be an elliptical shape. Moreover, the shape of the surface facing the LED chip 10 is designed so that the light emitted from the LED chip 10 is reflected to the color conversion unit 70 side.

封止部50の透光性材料としては、シリコーン樹脂を用いているが、シリコーン樹脂に限らず、例えばアクリル樹脂、ガラスなどを用いてもよく、ガラスを用いれば放熱性を向上させることができるとともに、耐候性および耐熱性を向上させることができる。また、反射部60の材料としては、例えば、白色のシリコーン樹脂、液晶ポリマー系の樹脂、セラミック、金属などを採用すればよい。   As a translucent material of the sealing part 50, although silicone resin is used, not only silicone resin but acrylic resin, glass, etc. may be used, for example, if glass is used, heat dissipation can be improved. In addition, weather resistance and heat resistance can be improved. Moreover, as a material of the reflection part 60, for example, a white silicone resin, a liquid crystal polymer resin, ceramic, metal, or the like may be employed.

ところで、本実施形態の発光装置の製造にあたっては、例えば、図2、図3、図4に示すように、封止部50の大部分を構成する半球状の成形品50aに形成された凹所51および実装基板20の上記一表面側それぞれに上述の封止部50の一部となる液状の透光性材料(例えば、シリコーン樹脂)50c,50bを塗布してから、成形品50aと実装基板20とを近づけて成形品50aを位置決めしてから液状の透光性材料50c,50bを硬化させることにより成形品50aと各透光性材料50c,50bとが一体化された封止部50を形成するようすればよい。ここで、図2では、成形品50aの凹所51の開口形状が色変換部70の外周形状と略同じであり、実装基板20の上記一表面側に塗布する液状の透光性材料50bは、LEDチップ10、サブマウント部材30および色変換部70を覆うように塗布している。また、図3では、成形品50aの凹所51の開口形状が色変換部70の内周形状と略同じであり、実装基板20の上記一表面側に塗布する液状の透光性材料50bはLEDチップ10およびサブマウント部材30を覆うよう塗布している。また、図4では、成形品50aの凹所51の開口形状が色変換部70の内周形状と略同じであり、且つ、成形品50aの凹所51の周部に色変換部70および反射層40が設けられており、実装基板20の上記一表面側に塗布する液状の透光性材料50bはLEDチップ10およびサブマウント部材30を覆うように塗布している。このような図2〜図4のいずれかの製造方法を採用することにより、封止部50にボイドが発生するのを抑制できてボンディングワイヤ14の断線や光出力の低下を防止できる。なお、図2〜図4の例では反射部60を成形品50aに一体成形しているが、反射部60は、成形品50aに接着するようにしてもよい。   By the way, in the manufacture of the light emitting device of the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, a recess formed in a hemispherical molded product 50 a constituting most of the sealing portion 50. 51 and the one surface side of the mounting substrate 20 are coated with liquid translucent materials (for example, silicone resins) 50c and 50b that become a part of the sealing portion 50, and then the molded product 50a and the mounting substrate 20, the molded product 50 a is positioned and then the liquid translucent materials 50 c and 50 b are cured to thereby form the sealing portion 50 in which the molded product 50 a and the translucent materials 50 c and 50 b are integrated. What is necessary is just to form. Here, in FIG. 2, the opening shape of the recess 51 of the molded product 50 a is substantially the same as the outer peripheral shape of the color conversion unit 70, and the liquid translucent material 50 b applied to the one surface side of the mounting substrate 20 is The LED chip 10, the submount member 30 and the color conversion unit 70 are applied so as to cover. In FIG. 3, the opening shape of the recess 51 of the molded product 50 a is substantially the same as the inner peripheral shape of the color conversion unit 70, and the liquid translucent material 50 b applied to the one surface side of the mounting substrate 20 is It is applied so as to cover the LED chip 10 and the submount member 30. In FIG. 4, the opening shape of the recess 51 of the molded product 50 a is substantially the same as the inner peripheral shape of the color conversion unit 70, and the color conversion unit 70 and the reflection are formed around the recess 51 of the molded product 50 a. The layer 40 is provided, and the liquid translucent material 50 b applied to the one surface side of the mounting substrate 20 is applied so as to cover the LED chip 10 and the submount member 30. By employing such a manufacturing method of FIGS. 2 to 4, it is possible to suppress the generation of voids in the sealing portion 50, and to prevent disconnection of the bonding wire 14 and a decrease in light output. 2 to 4, the reflecting portion 60 is integrally formed with the molded product 50a. However, the reflecting portion 60 may be bonded to the molded product 50a.

以上説明した本実施形態の発光装置では、LEDチップ10が第1の熱伝導性材料からなる伝熱板21の上記一表面側に搭載されるとともに、色変換部70が平面視においてLEDチップ10を取り囲む形でLEDチップ10から離間して配置され伝熱板21の上記一表面側に一定厚みで設けられているので、LEDチップ10および色変換部70それぞれで発生した熱を伝熱板21から効率良く放熱することができてLEDチップ10および色変換部70の温度上昇を抑制できるとともに色むらの発生を抑制することが可能となる。また、本実施形態の発光装置では、上述のように、色変換部70と伝熱板21との間に反射層40が設けられているので、色変換部70の厚みを薄くすることが可能となり、色変換部70の温度上昇をより抑制することができるとともに、色変換部70内の温度差をより低減することが可能となる。   In the light emitting device of the present embodiment described above, the LED chip 10 is mounted on the one surface side of the heat transfer plate 21 made of the first heat conductive material, and the color conversion unit 70 is seen in plan view. Is disposed at a certain thickness on the one surface side of the heat transfer plate 21 so that the heat generated in each of the LED chip 10 and the color conversion unit 70 is transferred to the heat transfer plate 21. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently dissipate heat, and it is possible to suppress the temperature rise of the LED chip 10 and the color conversion unit 70 and to suppress the occurrence of color unevenness. In the light emitting device according to the present embodiment, as described above, the reflective layer 40 is provided between the color conversion unit 70 and the heat transfer plate 21, so that the thickness of the color conversion unit 70 can be reduced. Thus, the temperature increase of the color conversion unit 70 can be further suppressed, and the temperature difference in the color conversion unit 70 can be further reduced.

(Embodiment 4)
The basic configuration of the light emitting device of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIG.

(Embodiment 5)
The basic configuration of the light emitting device of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. The structure part 21a is formed, the reflective layer 40 is laminated on the fine concavo-convex structure part 21a, and the color conversion part 70 is laminated on the reflective layer 40. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component similar to Embodiment 3, and description is abbreviate | omitted.

しかして、本実施形態の発光装置では、微細凹凸構造の周期(ピッチ)を適宜設定することにより、LEDチップ10から放射され色変換部70を透過した光や色変換部70の蛍光体から伝熱板21側へ放射された光をより効率良く外部へ取り出すことが可能となる。なお、実施形態2において本実施形態と同様の微細凹凸構造部21aを設けてもよい。   Therefore, in the light emitting device of the present embodiment, by appropriately setting the period (pitch) of the fine concavo-convex structure, light emitted from the LED chip 10 and transmitted through the color conversion unit 70 or transmitted from the phosphor of the color conversion unit 70 is transmitted.

In the second embodiment, the same fine uneven structure portion 21a as in the present embodiment may be provided.

(実施形態6)
本実施形態の発光装置の基本構成は実施形態2と略同じであり、図9に示すように、実装基板20上に、封止部50を囲んで配置され色変換部70から放射される光を封止部50の光出射面53側へ反射するリフレクタ80が設けられており、当該リフレクタ80が、実装基板20側の端縁から内方へ延設された内鍔片81を有し、リフレクタ80の内鍔片81が伝熱板21に固着され、内鍔片81における実装基板20側とは反対側の表面に色変換部70が一定厚みで形成されている点が相違する。なお、実施形態2と同様の構成要素には同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 6)
The basic configuration of the light emitting device of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the light emitted from the color conversion unit 70 is disposed on the mounting substrate 20 so as to surround the sealing portion 50. Is provided on the light emitting surface 53 side of the sealing portion 50, and the reflector 80 has an inner collar piece 81 extending inwardly from an edge on the mounting substrate 20 side, The difference is that the inner collar piece 81 of the reflector 80 is fixed to the heat transfer plate 21, and the color conversion portion 70 is formed with a constant thickness on the surface of the inner collar piece 81 opposite to the mounting substrate 20 side. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component similar to Embodiment 2, and description is abbreviate | omitted.

また、リフレクタ80は、LEDチップ10から放射された光や色変換部70から出射された光が封止部50の光出射面53側へ反射するように内側面の形状が回転放物面状に設計されているが、発光装置の所望の配光特性に応じて適宜設計すればよい。なお、リフレクタ80は、光出射側の端縁から外方へ延設された外鍔片83を有している。   Moreover, the reflector 80 has a paraboloidal shape on the inner surface so that the light emitted from the LED chip 10 and the light emitted from the color conversion unit 70 are reflected toward the light emitting surface 53 side of the sealing unit 50. However, it may be designed as appropriate according to the desired light distribution characteristics of the light emitting device. The reflector 80 has an outer collar piece 83 that extends outward from the edge on the light emitting side.

リフレクタ80の材料としては、例えば、LEDチップ10や色変換部70の蛍光体から放射される光の反射率が高く且つ熱伝導率の高い金属(例えば、Al、Cu)などを採用すればよく、本実施形態では、Alを採用している。ただし、リフレクタ80の材料として金属を採用する場合には、実施形態1にて説明した各配線基板22(図1(a),(b)参照)の配線パターン23(図1(a),(b)参照)と電気的に絶縁する必要があることは勿論である。なお、リフレクタ80の材料としてCuを採用する場合には、内側面にNi層/Ag層、Ni層/Al層などの反射層をメタライズすることが望ましい。また、リフレクタ80の材料は金属に限らず、色変換部70に比べて熱伝導率の高い樹脂やセラミックを採用してもよく、例えば樹脂を採用する場合には、例えば内側面に銅箔を被着し、当該銅箔にNi層/Ag層、Ni/Al層などの反射層をメタライズするようにしてもよい。   As a material of the reflector 80, for example, a metal (for example, Al, Cu) having a high reflectance of light emitted from the phosphor of the LED chip 10 or the color conversion unit 70 and a high thermal conductivity may be employed. In this embodiment, Al is adopted. However, when a metal is adopted as the material of the reflector 80, the wiring pattern 23 (FIGS. 1A and 1B) of each wiring board 22 (see FIGS. 1A and 1B) described in the first embodiment is used. Of course, it is necessary to be electrically insulated from b). When Cu is used as the material of the reflector 80, it is desirable to metallize a reflective layer such as a Ni layer / Ag layer or a Ni layer / Al layer on the inner surface. In addition, the material of the reflector 80 is not limited to metal, and a resin or ceramic having higher thermal conductivity than that of the color conversion unit 70 may be used. For example, when resin is used, a copper foil is used on the inner surface, for example. The reflective layer such as a Ni layer / Ag layer or a Ni / Al layer may be metallized on the copper foil.

しかして、本実施形態の発光装置では、封止部50の外側面52での全反射条件を満たさない向きの光をリフレクタ80により封止部50の光出射面53側へ反射することができて外部への光取り出し効率を高めることができ、しかも、リフレクタ80が放熱部材を兼ねることとなって色変換部70からの放熱経路が増え放熱性が向上するので、光出力の高出力化を図れる。   Thus, in the light emitting device of this embodiment, light that does not satisfy the total reflection condition on the outer surface 52 of the sealing portion 50 can be reflected by the reflector 80 toward the light emitting surface 53 side of the sealing portion 50. In addition, the light extraction efficiency to the outside can be increased, and the reflector 80 also serves as a heat radiating member, so that the heat radiating path from the color conversion unit 70 is increased and the heat radiating performance is improved. I can plan.

(実施形態7)
本実施形態の発光装置の基本構成は実施形態6と略同じであり、図10に示すように、半球状の封止部50が色変換部70の内側に形成されLEDチップ10およびサブマウント部材30を封止している点、リフレクタ80の光取り出し側の開口面を閉塞する形で平板状の透光性カバー90がリフレクタ80の外鍔片83に固着されている点、反射部60が透光性カバー90におけるLEDチップ10との対向面に設けられている点が相違する。ここにおいて、透光性カバー90は、透光性材料(例えば、アクリル樹脂、ガラスなど)により形成されている。なお、透光性カバー90の形状は平板状に限らず、発光装置の所望の配光特性に応じて適宜設定すればよく、例えば、平凸レンズ状の形状に設定してもよい。
(Embodiment 7)
The basic configuration of the light emitting device of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the sixth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, the hemispherical sealing portion 50 is formed inside the color conversion portion 70, and the LED chip 10 and the submount member. 30, a flat translucent cover 90 is fixed to the outer flange 83 of the reflector 80 so as to close the opening surface on the light extraction side of the reflector 80, and the reflecting portion 60 is The point which is provided in the surface facing the LED chip 10 in the translucent cover 90 is different. Here, the translucent cover 90 is formed of a translucent material (for example, acrylic resin, glass, or the like). Note that the shape of the translucent cover 90 is not limited to a flat plate shape, and may be set as appropriate according to desired light distribution characteristics of the light emitting device. For example, the translucent cover 90 may be set to a plano-convex lens shape.

ところで、上記各実施形態の発光装置では、LEDチップ10の厚み方向に離間して反射部60が設けられており、反射部60によりLEDチップ10からの光および色変換部70からの光が遮られるので、反射部60の存在に起因して影となる領域が生じるが、図11に示すように、反射部60に、色変換部70側からの光を通過させ且つLEDチップ10からの直接光を通過させない方向に貫設されたスリット62を形成しておけば、反射部60により影となる領域を少なくしながらもLEDチップ10からの直接光が出射されるのを防止することができる。また、図12(a)に示すように、反射部60の周囲に配置されてLEDチップ10側からの直接光(LEDチップ10の発光ピーク波長をλpとする)I2を反射し且つ色変換部70の光出射面から出射された光I1(蛍光体からの光およびLEDチップ10からの間接光)を透過させる波長選択フィルタ65を設けるようにすれば、反射部60により影となる領域を少なくしながらもLEDチップ10からの直接光I2が出射されるのを防止することができる。なお、図12(b)は波長選択フィルタ65における色変換部70側から入射する光に対する反射特性を示し、図12(c)は波長選択フィルタ65におけるLEDチップ10側から入射する光に対する反射特性を示している。   By the way, in the light emitting device of each of the embodiments described above, the reflection unit 60 is provided in the thickness direction of the LED chip 10, and the light from the LED chip 10 and the light from the color conversion unit 70 are blocked by the reflection unit 60. Therefore, a shadowed area is generated due to the presence of the reflection unit 60. As shown in FIG. 11, the light from the color conversion unit 70 is allowed to pass through the reflection unit 60 and directly from the LED chip 10. If the slit 62 penetrating in the direction not allowing light to pass through is formed, it is possible to prevent direct light from the LED chip 10 from being emitted while reducing the shadow area by the reflecting portion 60. . Also, as shown in FIG. 12A, the color conversion unit is arranged around the reflection unit 60 to reflect the direct light I2 from the LED chip 10 side (the emission peak wavelength of the LED chip 10 is λp) and the color conversion unit. If the wavelength selection filter 65 that transmits the light I1 emitted from the light emitting surface 70 (the light from the phosphor and the indirect light from the LED chip 10) is provided, the area that is shaded by the reflection unit 60 is reduced. However, it is possible to prevent the direct light I2 from the LED chip 10 from being emitted. FIG. 12B shows the reflection characteristic for light incident from the color conversion unit 70 side in the wavelength selection filter 65, and FIG. 12C shows the reflection characteristic for light incident from the LED chip 10 side in the wavelength selection filter 65. Is shown.

なお、上述の各実施形態では、LEDチップ10として、発光色が青色の青色LEDチップを採用しているが、LEDチップ10から放射される光は青色光に限らず、例えば、赤色光、緑色光、紫色光などでもよい。また、上述のLEDチップ10は、上記一表面側に上記アノード電極が形成され、上記他表面側にカソード電極が形成されているが、上記一表面側にアノード電極およびカソード電極が形成されていてもよく、この場合には、アノード電極およびカソード電極の両方ともボンディングワイヤ14を介して配線パターン23,23と直接接続することができる。また、LEDチップ10と伝熱板21との線膨張率差が比較的小さい場合にはサブマウント部材30は必ずしも設ける必要はない。   In each of the above-described embodiments, a blue LED chip whose emission color is blue is adopted as the LED chip 10, but the light emitted from the LED chip 10 is not limited to blue light, for example, red light, green Light, purple light, etc. may be used. The LED chip 10 has the anode electrode formed on the one surface side and the cathode electrode formed on the other surface side.
