Description

本発明は、ＬＥＤ素子を備え、白色光を発する発光装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a light emitting device that includes an LED element and emits white light.

従来、ＬＥＤ素子と蛍光体との組合せにより、白色光を発する発光装置が知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。特許文献１に記載の発光装置は、３００〜４７０ｎｍの光を発するＬＥＤ素子を備え、この光により励起される蛍光体によって部分的に又は完全により長波長の光に変換されることにより、白色光を生成している。尚、蛍光体は、ＬＥＤ素子を封止する封止樹脂に分散されている。
また、赤色ＬＥＤ素子、緑色ＬＥＤ素子及び青色ＬＥＤ素子の組合せにより、白色光を生成可能な発光装置も知られている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。
特表２００３−５３５４７８号公報 特開２００８−０８５３２４号公報 Conventionally, a light-emitting device that emits white light by a combination of an LED element and a phosphor is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The light-emitting device described in Patent Document 1 includes an LED element that emits light of 300 to 470 nm, and is converted into light having a longer wavelength by partial or complete conversion to light having a longer wavelength by a phosphor excited by this light. Is generated. The phosphor is dispersed in a sealing resin that seals the LED element.
A light emitting device capable of generating white light by a combination of a red LED element, a green LED element, and a blue LED element is also known (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
Special table 2003-535478 gazette JP 2008-085324 A

しかしながら、特許文献１に記載の発光装置では、封止樹脂中の蛍光体の耐熱性が低く、装置の使用時に発光装置の温度が上昇すると発光効率が低下する。また、ＬＥＤ素子の発熱量が制限されるので、ＬＥＤ素子へ大きな電流を流して光量を増大させることは困難である。
ここで、特許文献２に記載の発光装置のように、蛍光体を用いずに赤色、緑色及び青色の各ＬＥＤ素子により白色光を得ることが考えられる。しかしながら、各ＬＥＤ素子の半値幅は蛍光体と比べて極めて小さく、得られる白色光の演色性が低くなってしまう。 However, in the light emitting device described in Patent Document 1, the heat resistance of the phosphor in the sealing resin is low, and the luminous efficiency decreases when the temperature of the light emitting device rises during use of the device. In addition, since the amount of heat generated by the LED element is limited, it is difficult to increase the amount of light by flowing a large current through the LED element.
Here, as in the light emitting device described in Patent Document 2, it is conceivable that white light is obtained by the red, green, and blue LED elements without using a phosphor. However, the half-value width of each LED element is extremely small as compared with the phosphor, and the color rendering property of the obtained white light is lowered.

本発明は、前記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、装置の使用時に発光効率が低下することがなく、ＬＥＤ素子へ大きな電流を流して光量を増大させることができ、かつ、良好な演色性の白色光を得ることのできる発光装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to reduce the light emission efficiency when the apparatus is used and to increase the amount of light by flowing a large current to the LED element. Another object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting device capable of obtaining white light with good color rendering properties.

Provided is a light-emitting device including a housing made of an inorganic material and containing the SiC fluorescent substrate.

本発明によれば、ＳｉＣ蛍光板は高い耐熱性を有するので、装置の使用時に従来のように発光効率が低下することはないし、装置自体の耐熱性が向上するので、ＬＥＤ素子へ大きな電流を流して光量を増大させることが可能となる。さらにまた、ＳｉＣ蛍光板は、第１ＬＥＤ素子から発せられた光により励起されると、ＬＥＤ素子等と比べて半値幅の大きな光を発するので、良好な演色性の白色光を得ることができる。   According to the present invention, since the SiC fluorescent plate has high heat resistance, the light emission efficiency does not decrease as in the prior art when the device is used, and the heat resistance of the device itself is improved, so that a large current flows to the LED element. As a result, the amount of light can be increased. Furthermore, when the SiC fluorescent plate is excited by light emitted from the first LED element, it emits light having a larger half-value width than that of the LED element or the like, so that white light with good color rendering can be obtained.

The terminal portion 4 includes a cylindrical portion 4a that is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the flange 2c of the housing 2, an inclined portion 4b that is formed continuously with the lower end of the cylindrical portion 4a and is narrowed downward, and the inclined portion 4b. A first electrode portion 4c provided at the lower end and having an external thread formed on the outer surface, an insulating portion 4d formed continuously with the lower end of the first electrode portion 4c and extending radially inward, and the radially inner side of the insulating portion 4d closed And a second electrode 4e. The cylindrical portion 4a, the inclined portion 4b, and the insulating portion 4d are made of an insulating ceramic, and the first electrode 4c and the second electrode 4e are made of a conductive metal. The cylindrical portion 4a, the inclined portion 4b, and the insulating portion 4d are preferably made of the same material as that of the housing 2. The first electrode 4 c and the second electrode 4 e are electrically connected to the screw 5 by the internal conductor 6. In the present embodiment, the screw 5 is made of a conductive metal, and is electrically connected to the wiring pattern of the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 when screwed with the SiC fluorescent substrate 10.

レンズ３は、ガラスからなり、出射面が上方へ凸の形状を呈して筐体２から出射される光を集光する。ここで、ガラスは、透過する光に紫外光が含まれる場合、単体で例えば７０％以上の紫外光をカットする。また、本実施形態においては、レンズ３の筐体２の内側の面に、後述する紫外ＬＥＤ素子１１から発せられた光を反射し無機材料からなる多層反射膜（ＤＢＲ膜）が形成されている。多層反射膜は、例えばＳｉＯ２／ＴｉＯ２の構成とすることができる。尚、多層反射膜でなく、紫外光に対してガラスよりも反射率の高い無機材料を、レンズ３のガラスの内側の面に塗布してもよい。 The lens 3 is made of glass and condenses light emitted from the housing 2 with an emission surface having a convex shape upward. Here, when ultraviolet light is contained in the transmitted light, the glass cuts, for example, 70% or more of ultraviolet light alone. In the present embodiment, a multilayer reflective film (DBR film) made of an inorganic material that reflects light emitted from the ultraviolet LED element 11 described later is formed on the inner surface of the housing 2 of the lens 3. . The multilayer reflective film can be made of SiO 2 / TiO 2 , for example. In addition, instead of the multilayer reflective film, an inorganic material having a higher reflectance than glass for ultraviolet light may be applied to the inner surface of the glass of the lens 3.

ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０は、６層ごとに周期的な構造をとる６Ｈ型のＳｉＣ結晶からなる。ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０は、ドナー不純物としてＮを含むとともに、アクセプタ不純物としてＡｌ及びＢを含んでいる。ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０には、Ａｌが例えば２×１０１８ｃｍ−３、Ｂが例えば１×１０１９ｃｍ−３、Ｎが例えば１．５×１０１９ｃｍ−３の濃度でドープされている。尚、Ａｌ、Ｂ及びＮの濃度は任意であるが、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０を励起させて発光させるには、ＡｌとＢの濃度の和が、Ｎの濃度よりも小さくなければならない。ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０は、紫外光により励起されると、ドナーとアクセプタの再結合により蛍光を生じる。この蛍光は、ＬＥＤ素子から発せられる光と比べると、極めて大きな半値幅を有している。ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０の製造方法は任意であるが、例えば昇華法、化学気相成長法によってＳｉＣ結晶を成長させて製造することができる。このとき、結晶成長中の雰囲気における窒素ガス（Ｎ２）の分圧を適度に調整することにより、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０における窒素濃度を任意に設定することができる。一方、Ａｌ及びＢを単体で、または、Ａｌ化合物及びＢ化合物を原料に対して適量混合させることにより、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０におけるＡｌ濃度及びＢ濃度を任意に設定することができる。 The SiC fluorescent substrate 10 is made of a 6H type SiC crystal having a periodic structure every six layers. The SiC fluorescent substrate 10 includes N as a donor impurity and Al and B as acceptor impurities. The SiC fluorescent substrate 10 is doped with Al at a concentration of 2 × 10 18 cm −3 , B at 1 × 10 19 cm −3 , and N at 1.5 × 10 19 cm −3 , for example. The concentrations of Al, B, and N are arbitrary, but in order to excite the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 to emit light, the sum of the concentrations of Al and B must be smaller than the concentration of N. When the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 is excited by ultraviolet light, fluorescence is generated by recombination of a donor and an acceptor. This fluorescence has an extremely large half-value width as compared with light emitted from the LED element. Although the manufacturing method of the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 is arbitrary, it can be manufactured by growing a SiC crystal by, for example, a sublimation method or a chemical vapor deposition method. At this time, the nitrogen concentration in the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 can be arbitrarily set by appropriately adjusting the partial pressure of nitrogen gas (N 2 ) in the atmosphere during crystal growth. On the other hand, the Al concentration and the B concentration in the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 can be arbitrarily set by mixing Al and B alone or by mixing appropriate amounts of the Al compound and the B compound with the raw material.

図３はＳｉＣ蛍光基板の拡大図であり、（ａ）は一部縦断面図、（ｂ）は一部平面図である。
図３（ａ）に示すように、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板３は、各ＬＥＤ素子の搭載面及び搭載面と反対側の面に所定の周期構造が形成されている。周期構造は多数の略円錐状の凸部１０ｅによって構成されており、各凸部１０ｅがＳｉＣ蛍光基板３の搭載面に沿った方向に周期的に配列されている。尚、各凸部１０ｅを三角錐、四角錐のような多角錘形状としてもよいし、周期構造を設けるか否かも任意である。 3A and 3B are enlarged views of the SiC fluorescent substrate, in which FIG. 3A is a partial longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. 3B is a partial plan view.
As shown in FIG. 3A, the SiC fluorescent substrate 3 has a predetermined periodic structure formed on the mounting surface of each LED element and the surface opposite to the mounting surface. The periodic structure is constituted by a large number of substantially conical convex portions 10e, and each convex portion 10e is periodically arranged in a direction along the mounting surface of the SiC fluorescent substrate 3. Each convex portion 10e may have a polygonal pyramid shape such as a triangular pyramid or a quadrangular pyramid, and whether or not to provide a periodic structure is also arbitrary.

図３（ｂ）に示すように、各凸部１０ｅは、平面視にて、所定の周期で三角格子状に整列して形成される。各凸部１０ｅの平均周期は、任意であるが、本実施形態では２００ｎｍとされている。なお、平均周期は、互いに隣接する凸部１０ｅの平均ピーク間距離で定義される。各凸部１０ｅは、略円錐状に形成され、平均的なボトム直径が１５０ｎｍであり、平均高さが４００ｎｍとなっている。このように、紫外ＬＥＤ素子１１が発する光の光学波長に対して十分に小さな周期構造を形成することにより、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０の表面にて光が反射することが防止できる。従って、各紫外ＬＥＤ素子１１から発せられる近紫外光をＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０へ効率よく入射させるとともに、近紫外光が波長変換された白色光をＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０から効率よく出射させることができる。   As shown in FIG. 3B, the convex portions 10e are formed in a triangular lattice pattern with a predetermined period in plan view. Although the average period of each convex part 10e is arbitrary, in this embodiment, it is set to 200 nm. The average period is defined by the average peak-to-peak distance between the adjacent convex portions 10e. Each convex portion 10e is formed in a substantially conical shape, has an average bottom diameter of 150 nm, and an average height of 400 nm. Thus, by forming a periodic structure that is sufficiently small with respect to the optical wavelength of the light emitted from the ultraviolet LED element 11, it is possible to prevent light from being reflected from the surface of the SiC fluorescent substrate 10. Therefore, near ultraviolet light emitted from each ultraviolet LED element 11 can be efficiently incident on the SiC fluorescent substrate 10, and white light obtained by converting the wavelength of near ultraviolet light can be efficiently emitted from the SiC fluorescent substrate 10.

図４は、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板の模式平面図である。
図４に示すように、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０は、平面視にて正方形状に形成され、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４が前後方向及び左右方向に所定の間隔をおいて搭載されている。本実施形態においては、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４は、平面視にて約３５０μｍ角に形成され、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４同士の間隔は約２０μｍとなっている。本実施形態においては、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４は、封止されていない。また、本実施形態においては、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０には、７列及び７行で計４９個の各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４が搭載される。詳しくは、紫外ＬＥＤ素子１１が４１個、青色ＬＥＤ素子１２が２個、緑色ＬＥＤ素子１３が４個、赤色ＬＥＤ素子１４が２個となっている。 FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view of the SiC fluorescent substrate.
As shown in FIG. 4, the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 is formed in a square shape in plan view, and the LED elements 11, 12, 13, and 14 are mounted at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. . In this embodiment, each LED element 11, 12, 13, 14 is formed in about 350 micrometers square in planar view, and the space | interval of each LED element 11, 12, 13, 14 is about 20 micrometers. In this embodiment, each LED element 11, 12, 13, 14 is not sealed. In the present embodiment, a total of 49 LED elements 11, 12, 13, and 14 are mounted on the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 in seven columns and seven rows. Specifically, there are 41 ultraviolet LED elements 11, 2 blue LED elements 12, 4 green LED elements 13, and 2 red LED elements 14.

第１ＬＥＤ素子としての紫外ＬＥＤ素子１１は例えばピーク波長が３８０ｎｍの光を発し、第２ＬＥＤ素子としての青色ＬＥＤ素子１２は例えばピーク波長が４５０ｎｍの光を発し、第２ＬＥＤ素子としての緑色ＬＥＤ素子１３は例えばピーク波長が５５０ｎｍの光を発し、第２ＬＥＤ素子としての赤色ＬＥＤ素子１４は例えばピーク波長が６５０ｎｍの光を発する。尚、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４は、材質が特に限定されることはなく、例えば、ＡｌＩＮＧａＮ、ＡｌＧａＮ、ＩｎＧａＮ、ＧａＮ、ＺｎＳｅ、ＧａＰ、ＧａＡｓＰ、ＡｌＧａＩｎＰ、ＡｌＧａＡｓ等の材料を用いることができる。   For example, the ultraviolet LED element 11 as the first LED element emits light having a peak wavelength of 380 nm, the blue LED element 12 as the second LED element emits light having a peak wavelength of 450 nm, for example, and the green LED element 13 as the second LED element is For example, light having a peak wavelength of 550 nm is emitted, and the red LED element 14 as the second LED element emits light having a peak wavelength of 650 nm, for example. The LED elements 11, 12, 13, and 14 are not particularly limited in material. For example, materials such as AlINGaN, AlGaN, InGaN, GaN, ZnSe, GaP, GaAsP, AlGaInP, and AlGaAs are used. it can.

ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０は、絶縁性の無機材料からなり、表面に配線パターン１０ａが形成されている。また、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０は、４つの角部にてねじ５により筐体２に締結されている。４つのねじ５のうち、対角に位置する２つのねじ５に配線パターン１０ａが電気的に接続されている。   The SiC fluorescent substrate 10 is made of an insulating inorganic material, and has a wiring pattern 10a formed on the surface thereof. The SiC fluorescent substrate 10 is fastened to the housing 2 by screws 5 at four corners. Of the four screws 5, the wiring pattern 10 a is electrically connected to the two screws 5 positioned diagonally.

図５は、ＬＥＤ素子のＳｉＣ蛍光基板への搭載方法の一例を示す説明図であり、（ａ）はＬＥＤ素子を搭載する前のＳｉＣ蛍光基板の平面図、（ｂ）はＬＥＤ素子を搭載する際のＳｉＣ蛍光基板の側面図、（ｃ）はＬＥＤ素子を搭載した後のＳｉＣ蛍光基板の側面図である。
図５（ａ）に示すように、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０には、例えばＡｕからなる配線パターン１０ａが形成され、各ＬＥＤ素子１１との電気接続位置にはＳｎ膜１０ｂが形成されている。尚、図５（ａ）においては、フリップチップ型の各ＬＥＤ素子１１を図示している。
一方、図５（ｂ）に示すように、各ＬＥＤ素子１１の一対の電極には、Ａｕ膜１１ａが形成されている。そして、図５（ｂ）中の矢印に示すように、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０のＳｎ膜１０ｂ上に、Ａｕ膜１１ａを下方として各ＬＥＤ素子１１を載置する。
この状態で、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０を、水素ガスと窒素ガスの混合ガスよりなるフォーミングガスが流動する雰囲気において加熱して、各ＬＥＤチップ１１をＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０に接合する。これにより、図５（ｃ）に示すように、各ＬＥＤチップ１１は、ＡｕＳｎ合金１０ｃによりＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０の配線パターン１０ａに接続される。 FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing an example of a method for mounting the LED element on the SiC fluorescent substrate, (a) is a plan view of the SiC fluorescent substrate before mounting the LED element, and (b) is mounting the LED element. The side view of the SiC fluorescent substrate at the time, (c) is a side view of the SiC fluorescent substrate after mounting the LED element.
As shown in FIG. 5A, a wiring pattern 10 a made of, for example, Au is formed on the SiC fluorescent substrate 10, and an Sn film 10 b is formed at an electrical connection position with each LED element 11. In FIG. 5A, each flip-chip type LED element 11 is shown.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, an Au film 11 a is formed on the pair of electrodes of each LED element 11. Then, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 5B, each LED element 11 is placed on the Sn film 10b of the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 with the Au film 11a facing downward.
In this state, the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 is heated in an atmosphere in which a forming gas composed of a mixed gas of hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas flows to bond each LED chip 11 to the SiC fluorescent substrate 10. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5C, each LED chip 11 is connected to the wiring pattern 10a of the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 by the AuSn alloy 10c.

このように各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４をＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０に接合する場合、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０及び各ＬＥＤチップ１１，１２，１３，１４にＡｕＳｎ合金による合金膜を予め形成する必要はない。また、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４が自重によりＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０に接合されることになるので、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４を必ずしも加圧する必要はないし、加圧の不均一性に起因する弊害を抑制することができる。さらには、ＡｕＳｎ合金１０ｃには柱状結晶が形成されるようになるので、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４は電流に対する高い発光効率を得ることができ、ＡｕＳｎ合金１０ｃによる接合部に優れた耐熱性及び熱伝導性が付与される。   Thus, when each LED element 11, 12, 13, 14 is joined to the SiC fluorescent substrate 10, it is necessary to previously form an alloy film of AuSn alloy on the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 and each LED chip 11, 12, 13, 14 Absent. Further, since the LED elements 11, 12, 13, and 14 are bonded to the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 by their own weight, it is not always necessary to pressurize the LED elements 11, 12, 13, and 14, and the pressurization is not required. Detrimental effects caused by uniformity can be suppressed. Furthermore, since columnar crystals are formed in the AuSn alloy 10c, each of the LED elements 11, 12, 13, and 14 can obtain a high luminous efficiency with respect to current, and is excellent in a joint portion by the AuSn alloy 10c. Heat resistance and thermal conductivity are imparted.

以上のように構成された発光装置１では、端子部４を外部のソケットへ螺合することにより、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４へ電力を供給可能な状態となる。そして、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４に電流を印加すると、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４から所定波長の光が発せられる。   In the light emitting device 1 configured as described above, the terminal portion 4 is screwed into an external socket, so that power can be supplied to the LED elements 11, 12, 13, and 14. When a current is applied to each LED element 11, 12, 13, 14, light having a predetermined wavelength is emitted from each LED element 11, 12, 13, 14.

紫外ＬＥＤ素子１１からＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０側へ発せられた紫外光は、搭載面からＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０へ入射し、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０に吸収されて白色に変換された後、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０から出射する。ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０から出射した白色光は、レンズ３を透過して筐体２の外部へ放射される。尚、紫外ＬＥＤ素子１１から波長変換されることなくレンズ３へ入射した紫外光は、レンズ３の多層反射膜によりＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０側へ反射された後、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０へ入射し、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０に吸収されて白色に変換された後、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０から出射する。   The ultraviolet light emitted from the ultraviolet LED element 11 toward the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 enters the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 from the mounting surface, is absorbed by the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 and converted into white, and then is emitted from the SiC fluorescent substrate 10. To do. White light emitted from the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 passes through the lens 3 and is emitted to the outside of the housing 2. The ultraviolet light incident on the lens 3 without being wavelength-converted from the ultraviolet LED element 11 is reflected to the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 side by the multilayer reflective film of the lens 3 and then incident on the SiC fluorescent substrate 10, and the SiC fluorescence. After being absorbed by the substrate 10 and converted to white, it is emitted from the SiC fluorescent substrate 10.

ここで、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０の搭載面及び搭載面と反対側の面に周期構造が形成されていることから、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０内へ紫外光が効率よく入射するとともに、白色光がＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０から効率よく出射する。また、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０内においては、紫外光を励起光としてドナー・アクセプタ・ペアによって発光している。本実施形態においては、アクセプタとしてＡｌとＢがドープされており、緑色領域にピーク波長を有する青色領域から赤色領域にかけてのブロードな波長の発光により純白色の発光が得られることになる。この純白色の発光のみであっても、青色ＬＥＤ素子と黄色蛍光体を組み合わせた従来の発光装置よりも高い演色性の白色光を得ることができる。本実施形態の発光装置１は、ＬＥＤ素子を用いて、従来のハロゲンランプの代替品の照明装置として利用することができる。   Here, since the periodic structure is formed on the mounting surface of the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 and the surface opposite to the mounting surface, the ultraviolet light efficiently enters the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 and the white light is incident on the SiC fluorescent substrate. 10 is emitted efficiently. Further, in the SiC fluorescent substrate 10, light is emitted by a donor-acceptor pair using ultraviolet light as excitation light. In this embodiment, Al and B are doped as acceptors, and pure white light emission is obtained by light emission of a broad wavelength from a blue region having a peak wavelength in the green region to a red region. Even with this pure white light emission, it is possible to obtain white light with higher color rendering than a conventional light emitting device combining a blue LED element and a yellow phosphor. The light emitting device 1 of the present embodiment can be used as an illumination device as an alternative to a conventional halogen lamp using an LED element.

また、紫外ＬＥＤ素子１１を除く各ＬＥＤ素子１２，１３，１４から発せられた可視光（本実施形態においては、青色光、緑色光及び赤色光）は、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０へ入射し、波長変換されることなくＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０の表面から出射する。これは、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０は、４０８ｎｍ以下の波長の光で励起され、４０８ｎｍを超える波長の光に対しては透明であることによる。ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０から出射した可視光は、レンズ３を透過して筐体２の外部へ放射される。   Moreover, visible light (in this embodiment, blue light, green light, and red light) emitted from the LED elements 12, 13, and 14 other than the ultraviolet LED element 11 is incident on the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 and wavelength-converted. The light is emitted from the surface of the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 without being emitted. This is because the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 is excited by light having a wavelength of 408 nm or less and is transparent to light having a wavelength exceeding 408 nm. Visible light emitted from the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 passes through the lens 3 and is emitted to the outside of the housing 2.

このように、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４へ通電すると、ＳｉＣ蛍光板３の蛍光による白色光と、ＳｉＣ蛍光板３を透過した青色光、緑色光及び赤色光と、の混合光が外部へ放出される。従って、ＳｉＣ蛍光板３の純白色の蛍光に加えて、青色成分、緑色成分及び赤色成分を青色ＬＥＤ素子１２、緑色ＬＥＤ素子１３及び赤色ＬＥＤ素子１４で補うことができ、極めて高い演色性を有する白色光を得ることができる。   As described above, when the LED elements 11, 12, 13, and 14 are energized, mixed light of white light due to fluorescence of the SiC fluorescent plate 3 and blue light, green light, and red light transmitted through the SiC fluorescent plate 3 is externally transmitted. Released. Therefore, in addition to the pure white fluorescence of the SiC fluorescent plate 3, the blue component, the green component, and the red component can be supplemented by the blue LED element 12, the green LED element 13, and the red LED element 14, and the white having extremely high color rendering properties. Light can be obtained.

また、レンズ３が紫外光をカットするようにしたので、紫外光が筐体２の外へ放射されることはない。さらに、レンズ３により紫外光が筐体２内へ反射されるようにしたので、紫外光を筐体２内へ閉じ込めて、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０の励起を効率良く行うことができる。   In addition, since the lens 3 cuts off the ultraviolet light, the ultraviolet light is not radiated out of the housing 2. Furthermore, since the ultraviolet light is reflected into the housing 2 by the lens 3, the ultraviolet light can be confined in the housing 2 and the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 can be excited efficiently.

また、本実施形態においては、可視光を発する各ＬＥＤ素子１２，１３，１４のうち、緑色ＬＥＤ素子１３の数を、青色ＬＥＤ素子１２及び赤色ＬＥＤ素子１４の数よりも多くしたので、出射する白色光を利用者に対してより明るく感じさせることができる。これは、人間の視感度は、緑色領域で最も高いからである。   In the present embodiment, among the LED elements 12, 13, and 14 that emit visible light, the number of the green LED elements 13 is larger than the number of the blue LED elements 12 and the red LED elements 14, and thus the light is emitted. White light can be felt brighter to the user. This is because human visibility is highest in the green region.

また、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４が発光した際には、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４が発熱する。本実施形態の発光装置１では、筐体２、レンズ３、端子部４、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０等が無機材料により構成されているので、ＬＥＤ素子を蛍光体含有樹脂で封止したり、樹脂製のレンズを有する従来の発光装置と比べ、耐熱性を飛躍的に向上することができる。従って、従来必要とされていた放熱機構を省略したり、各ＬＥＤ素子１１，１２，１３，１４へ流す電流を増大させて発光量を増大させたりすることができ、実用に際して極めて有利である。尚、耐熱性の観点からは、発光装置１に樹脂を一切使わない構成とすることが好ましい。   Further, when each LED element 11, 12, 13, 14 emits light, each LED element 11, 12, 13, 14 generates heat. In the light emitting device 1 of the present embodiment, since the housing 2, the lens 3, the terminal portion 4, the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 and the like are made of an inorganic material, the LED element is sealed with a phosphor-containing resin or made of resin. Compared with a conventional light emitting device having the above lens, the heat resistance can be drastically improved. Therefore, it is possible to omit the heat dissipation mechanism that has been conventionally required, or to increase the amount of light emitted by increasing the current flowing to the LED elements 11, 12, 13, and 14. This is extremely advantageous in practical use. From the viewpoint of heat resistance, it is preferable that the light emitting device 1 has no resin.

尚、前記実施形態においては、レンズ３が紫外光を反射する反射膜を形成したものを示したが、レンズ３は紫外カット膜を有するものであってもよい。紫外カット膜は、例えば無機ポリマーに無機紫外吸収剤を含有させてなり、レンズ３の少なくとも一方の面に形成してもよいし、合わせガラスの中間の膜としてもよい。尚、レンズ３は、筐体２から発せられる可視光に対して透過性を有していれば、ガラス以外の無機材料から形成してもよい。この場合も、レンズ３を、紫外成分を吸収する材料、紫外成分を反射する構造等を用いることにより、紫外光の少なくとも一部をカットすることが望ましい。   In the above embodiment, the lens 3 is formed with a reflective film that reflects ultraviolet light. However, the lens 3 may have an ultraviolet cut film. The ultraviolet cut film may be formed, for example, by adding an inorganic ultraviolet absorber to an inorganic polymer and may be formed on at least one surface of the lens 3 or may be an intermediate film of laminated glass. The lens 3 may be formed of an inorganic material other than glass as long as it has transparency to visible light emitted from the housing 2. In this case as well, it is desirable to cut at least part of the ultraviolet light by using a material that absorbs the ultraviolet component, a structure that reflects the ultraviolet component, or the like.

例えば、レンズ３を、ドナー不純物としてＮを含むとともに、アクセプタ不純物としてＡｌ及びＢを含むＳｉＣ蛍光板としてもよい。レンズ３をＳｉＣ蛍光板とすることにより、レンズ３により紫外光を吸収しつつ、レンズ３から可視光を放出することができる。この場合、レンズ３のＳｉＣ蛍光板の両面に、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０と同様に周期構造を形成することが望ましい。また、例えば、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０にはＢ及びＮをドープして黄色光を生じさせるとともにレンズ３のＳｉＣ蛍光板にはＡｌ及びＮをドープして青色光を生じさせたり、この逆に、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０にＡｌ及びＮをドープしてレンズ３のＳｉＣ蛍光板にはＢ及びＮをドープするなど、ＳｉＣ蛍光基板１０とレンズ３とが異なる波長で発光するようにしてもよい。   For example, the lens 3 may be a SiC fluorescent plate containing N as a donor impurity and Al and B as acceptor impurities. By making the lens 3 an SiC fluorescent plate, visible light can be emitted from the lens 3 while absorbing ultraviolet light by the lens 3. In this case, it is desirable to form a periodic structure on both surfaces of the SiC fluorescent plate of the lens 3 similarly to the SiC fluorescent substrate 10. Further, for example, the SiC fluorescent substrate 10 is doped with B and N to generate yellow light, and the SiC fluorescent plate of the lens 3 is doped with Al and N to generate blue light.

図１２（ａ）では、計２１個のＬＥＤ素子がＳｉＣ蛍光基板５１０に搭載され、ワイヤボンディングを用いて直列に接続された３つのＬＥＤ素子を単位とする回路が、７つ並列に設けられている。電源として交流１２Ｖが用いられ、各ＬＥＤ素子には約４Ｖの電圧が印加される。
図１２（ｂ）では、計３３個のＬＥＤ素子がＳｉＣ蛍光基板５１０に搭載され、全ＬＥＤ素子がワイヤボンディングを用いて直列に接続されている。電源として交流１００Ｖが用いられ、各ＬＥＤ素子には約３Ｖの電圧が印加される。 For example, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, a rectifier circuit 510b that rectifies alternating current into direct current may be provided on the SiC fluorescent substrate 510 together with the main circuit pattern 510a. The SiC fluorescent substrate 510 shown in FIG. 12A and the SiC fluorescent substrate 510 shown in FIG. 12B are used for LED lamps, respectively.

Further, it is not necessary to provide all of the blue LED element 12, the green LED element 13, and the red LED element 14, for example, if a warm white color is obtained, the ratio of the red LED 14 is increased without providing the blue LED element 12, If a cold white color is to be obtained, the ratio of the blue LEDs 14 may be increased without providing the red LED elements 14. That is, if an LED element that emits ultraviolet light is used as the first LED element and an LED element that emits visible light is used as the second LED element, the emission wavelength of each LED element is arbitrary. However, since the SiC fluorescent plate 3 is excited by light of 408 nm or less, it is desirable that the peak wavelength of the first LED element is 408 nm or less and the peak wavelength of the second LED element exceeds 408 nm.

When the acceptor is only Al and the donor is N, fluorescence having a peak wavelength in the blue region is emitted, and when the acceptor is only B and the donor is N, fluorescence having a peak wavelength in the yellow region is emitted. That is, if a warm white color is to be obtained, it is preferable that the acceptor is only B, and if a cool white color is to be obtained, it is preferable that the acceptor is only Al. In addition, it is needless to say that specific detailed structures and the like can be appropriately changed.
