Description

  The present invention relates to a light-emitting device that can be used for a backlight device of a display device, a lighting fixture, a display, a liquid crystal display, and the like, and more particularly, to a light-emitting device that is thin / small and has excellent light extraction efficiency and high yield.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various electronic devices having light sources such as light emitting devices (LEDs) mounted thereon have been developed along with the reduction in size and weight of electronic devices. In these light emitting devices, for example, a light emitting element is placed on a double-sided through-hole printed board on which a pair of metal conductor patterns formed on both sides of an insulating substrate is formed, and light is emitted from the metal conductor pattern using a wire or the like. It has a structure for electrically connecting the element.

  However, it is essential for such a light-emitting device to use a double-sided through-hole printed circuit board, and since this double-sided through-hole printed circuit board has a thickness of at least about 0.1 mm, This is a factor that hinders thorough thinning. Therefore, a light emitting device having a structure that does not use such a printed circuit board has been developed (for example, Patent Document 1).

  The light-emitting device disclosed in Patent Document 1 forms a thin metal film on a substrate by vapor deposition or the like, uses this as an electrode, and seals it with a light-transmitting resin together with a light-emitting element. Thinning is possible compared to the device.

  However, the flatness of the metal film formed with such a thin film thickness tends to be lowered when the area is increased. For this reason, the light-emitting element may be placed at an angle. In such a case, the alignment characteristics are difficult to stabilize, and the light extraction efficiency may be reduced.

Accordingly, since the light emitting element can be mounted horizontally, a light emitting device in which the alignment characteristics are stable and the light extraction efficiency is hardly reduced can be obtained.

  The light emitting device according to claim 2 of the present invention is characterized in that the upper surface of the conductive member is located at a position where the outer edge is higher than the central region.

  The light emitting device according to claim 3 of the present invention is characterized in that the upper surface of the conductive member is located at a higher position in the central region than in the outer edge.

  In the light emitting device according to claim 4 of the present invention, the pedestal member is arranged such that the center in the top view is different from the center of the light emitting element, and the center of the light emitting element is arranged at the center of the light emitting device. It is characterized by being.

  The light emitting device according to claim 5 of the present invention is characterized in that the conductive member is a plating.

  According to the present invention, a thin light-emitting device can be easily formed with high yield.

FIG. 1A is a perspective view showing the whole and the inside of a light emitting device according to the present invention. 1B is a cross-sectional view of the light emitting device according to FIG. 1A taken along the line A-A ′.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the form shown below illustrates the light-emitting device for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and is not limited to the following.

  Further, the present specification by no means specifies the member shown in the claims as the member of the embodiment. In particular, the dimensions, materials, shapes, relative arrangements, and the like of the components described in the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention only to the extent that there is no specific description. It is just an example. It should be noted that the size and positional relationship of the members shown in each drawing may be exaggerated for clarity of explanation. Furthermore, in the following description, the same name and symbol indicate the same or the same members, and detailed description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  In the present embodiment, the light emitting device 100 includes a light emitting element 102, a base member 104 on which the light emitting element 102 is placed, a conductive member 101 on which the base member is placed, and outer edges of the conductive members 101 and 101 ′. And a base 103 in contact therewith. The base 103 has a recess S composed of a bottom surface and a side wall, and a part of the upper surface of the conductive members 101 is exposed at the bottom surface of the recess S. The light emitting element 102 is electrically connected to the conductive members 101 and 101 ′ via the conductive wire 105, and the sealing member 106 is provided in the recess S so as to cover these electronic components. . In the present invention, the upper surface of the conductive member 101 has an inclined surface that is inclined from the outer edge 101a toward the central region 101b, and on the inclined surface, the bottom surface of the pedestal member 104 is horizontal. Are connected. Thus, the light-emitting element can be mounted horizontally with respect to the mounting surface of the light-emitting device, so that the light-emitting device having stable orientation characteristics can be obtained.

(Conductive member)
The conductive member functions as a pair of electrodes that are electrically connected directly or indirectly to the light emitting element to energize electricity supplied from the outside. At least one of the conductive members has a pedestal member on the upper surface. The other conductive member provided through the insulating member (base) has a size to which a conductive wire can be connected. The lower surface of the conductive member is exposed so as to form the outer surface of the light emitting device, and can thereby be electrically connected to the outside.

  In this embodiment, the upper surface of the conductive member 101 has an inclined surface that is inclined from the outer edge 101a toward the central region 101b, as shown in FIG. 1B. In this specification, the outer edge and the central region refer to different regions in one conductive member provided as a continuous member, the outer edge refers to a region near the end of the conductive member, The central region refers to a region that is continuous from the end portion and is spaced a certain distance away.

  In FIG. 1B, the conductive member 101 is located at a position where the outer edge 101a is higher than the central region 101b, that is, the thickness of the conductive member 101 gradually decreases from the outer edge 101a toward the central region 101b. It has an inclined surface. Such conductive members having different thicknesses are obtained by a method in which a resist having an opening is formed on a support substrate and a metal film is formed in the opening by electrolytic plating. The higher the area, the greater the difference in elevation. For this reason, the difference between the outer edge and the central region tends to increase and the angle of the inclined surface tends to increase as the thickness increases in consideration of heat dissipation. As in the present invention, by using the pedestal member, a part of the conductive member can be formed relatively thick, and the light emitting element is inclined by placing the pedestal member using the inclined surface. Can be suppressed. In FIG. 1B, the outer edge is higher than the central area, but conversely, the central area may be higher than the outer edge area. The film thickness can be controlled by adjusting the electrolytic plating treatment time and current density.

  About the film thickness of an electrically-conductive member, about 40 micrometers-100 micrometers are preferable at an outer edge, and about 10 micrometers-95 micrometers or less are preferable at a center area | region. The height difference is preferably about 5 to 30 μm, and the maximum inclination angle is preferably about 0.1 to 45 degrees. In the case of a substrate having a recess, it is preferable that the substrate has the same degree as the substrate provided on the bottom surface.

The shape and size of the conductive member in a top view can be arbitrarily selected according to the size of the light emitting device and the number and size of the light emitting elements to be mounted.

  The side surface of the conductive member may be a flat surface, but it is preferable to have a protrusion as shown in FIG. 1B in consideration of adhesion to the substrate. This protrusion is preferably provided at a position separated from the lower surface of the conductive member 101, thereby preventing problems such as the conductive member 101 falling off the base 103. Such a protrusion can be provided at an arbitrary position around the conductive member, and can be provided partially, for example, only on two opposing side surfaces of the conductive member having a quadrangular view in top view. In order to prevent dropping more reliably, it is preferable to form the entire periphery of the conductive member.

  Specific materials that can be used as the conductive member include metals such as copper, aluminum, gold, silver, tungsten, iron, nickel, and cobalt, or iron-nickel alloys, phosphor bronze, iron-containing copper, molybdenum, Au-Sn.

The pedestal member is bonded onto a conductive member having an inclined surface so that the light emitting element placed thereon is horizontal.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, a flat pedestal member 104 is joined on a conductive member 101 whose outer edge 101a is higher than the central region 101b and has an inclined surface on the upper surface. Here, the central region 101 b of the conductive member 101 is formed at a position shifted from the center of the concave portion of the base 103, and an inclined surface is formed near the center of the light emitting device 100. When the light emitting element is placed without using the pedestal member, the light emitting device is inclined when placed at the center of the light emitting device, and when it is placed on the central region 101b of the conductive member 101 so as not to be inclined, the light emitting device is shifted from the center of the light emitting device. End up. In the present invention, the pedestal member 104 is placed on an inclined surface formed on the left and right with the central region 101b as the center, and the light emitting element 102 is placed so that the center of the light emitting element 102 is located at a position different from the center. It can be arranged to be located in the center of the device 100. As described above, even when the inclined surface of the conductive member is formed near the center of the light emitting device, the light emitting element is arranged at the center of the light emitting device by using the pedestal member as in the present invention. Can do.

  The size of the pedestal member is preferably larger than the area of the light emitting element and smaller than the conductive member. Furthermore, when the substrate has a recess as shown in FIG. 1A, it is preferable that the substrate can be placed on the bottom surface of the recess. In addition, the upper surface is preferably a flat plane and the lower surface is also preferably a flat plane so that the light emitting element can be placed horizontally.

As a material for the pedestal member, a material having light resistance to light from the light emitting element is preferable, and a material having a thermal conductivity of 10 W / m · K or more is preferable. Any of insulating, conductive, and semiconductors and combinations thereof may be used. Specific materials include Al ₂ O ₃ , GaN, AlGaN, InGaN, AlN, InN, SiC, ZnO, and ZnSe.

(Substrate)
The base is in contact with the outer edge of the conductive member and integrally holds the pair of conductive members. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the base body 103 has a recess S having a bottom surface and a side wall, and a part of the upper surface of the conductive members 101 and 101 ′ is formed on the bottom surface of the recess S. Are exposed, and the lower surfaces of the conductive members 101 and 101 ′ are also exposed on the back surface of the substrate 103. Here, the base 103 is provided so as to be in contact with all the outer edges of the conductive members 101 and 101 ′, but the conductive members 101 and 101 ′ functioning as a pair of positive and negative electrodes are electrically insulated from each other. For example, the conductive member may be exposed from the side surface of the light emitting device, that is, a part of the outer edge of the conductive member may be exposed and may not be in contact with the base.

The substrate may be any substrate as long as light from the light emitting element can be shielded, and a substrate having a small difference in linear expansion coefficient from the support substrate used during production is preferable. Furthermore, it is preferable to use an insulating member. As preferable materials, resins such as thermosetting resins and thermoplastic resins can be used. Specifically, epoxy resin compositions, silicone resin compositions, modified epoxy resin compositions such as silicone-modified epoxy resins, and epoxy-modified resins. Examples thereof include a modified silicone resin composition such as a silicone resin, a polyimide resin composition, and a modified polyimide resin composition. Then, fine particles such as TiO ₂ , SiO ₂ , Al ₂ O ₃ , MgO, MgCO ₃ , CaCO ₃ , Mg (OH) ₂ , and Ca (OH) ₂ are mixed in these resins as fillers (fillers). It is preferable to adjust the light transmittance so that about 60% or more of the light from the light emitting element is shielded, more preferably about 90%. Here, either the light may be reflected or absorbed by the substrate, but when the light-emitting device is used for illumination or the like, it is more preferable to shield the light by reflecting it. Therefore, it is preferable that the reflectance with respect to the light from the light emitting element is 60% or more, more preferably 90% or more. For example, when TiO ₂ is used, it is preferably added in an amount of 10 to 30 wt%, more preferably 15 to 25 wt%. In the case of use in a display or the like, in order to improve the contrast, it is preferable that the light absorption rate from the light emitting element is 60% or more, more preferably 90% or more. In such cases, as the filler, carbon such as acetylene black, activated carbon, graphite, transition metal oxides such as iron oxide, manganese dioxide, cobalt oxide, molybdenum oxide, or colored organic pigments are used depending on the purpose. I can do it.

  The various fillers as described above can be used alone or in combination of two or more. For example, the filler for adjusting the reflectance and the linear expansion coefficient as described later can be used. It can be used in combination with fillers.

  Further, it is preferable to control the linear expansion coefficient of the substrate so that the difference from the linear expansion coefficient of the support substrate to be removed (peeled) before being separated into pieces is reduced. The difference is preferably 30% or less, more preferably 10% or less. When a SUS plate is used as the support substrate, the difference in coefficient of linear expansion is preferably 20 ppm or less, and more preferably 10 ppm or less. In this case, it is preferable to add 70 wt% or more, preferably 85 wt% or more of the filler. Thereby, since the residual stress between the support substrate and the base can be controlled (relaxed), the warpage of the assembly of the light emitting devices before being separated into pieces can be reduced. By reducing the warpage, internal damage such as cutting of the conductive wire can be reduced, and the positional deviation at the time of singulation can be suppressed, and manufacturing can be performed with high yield.

  From another viewpoint, it is preferable to control the linear expansion coefficient of the base so that the difference from the linear expansion coefficient of the conductive member is small. The difference is preferably 40% or less, more preferably 20% or less. Thereby, in the light-emitting device after separation, it is possible to suppress the peeling of the conductive member and the substrate, and to obtain a light-emitting device with excellent reliability.

(Sealing member)
The sealing member is a member that protects electronic components such as a light emitting element, a light receiving element, a protective element, and a conductive wire from dust, moisture, and external force. In the present embodiment, FIG. As shown in FIG. 1B, the concave portion S of the base 103 is filled.

  As a material for the sealing member, a material having a light-transmitting property capable of transmitting light from the light-emitting element and having light resistance that is not easily deteriorated by them is preferable.

In addition to such materials, a colorant, a light diffusing agent, a light reflecting material, various fillers, a wavelength conversion member (fluorescent member), and the like can be included as desired. The filling amount of the sealing member may be an amount that covers the electronic component.

  The shape of the outer surface of the sealing tree member can be variously selected according to the light distribution characteristics. For example, the directivity can be adjusted by making the upper surface into a convex lens shape, a concave lens shape, a Fresnel lens shape, or the like. In addition to the sealing member, a lens member may be provided. Further, when a phosphor-containing molded body, for example, a phosphor-containing plate-shaped molded body, a dome-shaped molded body, or the like is used, it is preferable to select a material having excellent adhesion as the sealing member. In addition to the resin composition, the phosphor-containing molded body can be made of an inorganic material such as glass.

  Although the light emitting device has been mainly described above, the light receiving device is substantially the same as described above. As a sealing member to be used, the purpose is to increase the light incident efficiency or avoid secondary reflection inside the light receiving device. A colored filler such as white or black may be used. In particular, in order to avoid the influence of visible light, it is preferable to use a black colored filler-containing sealing member for an infrared light emitting device or an infrared detection device.

  Further, instead of the base made of the above light-shielding resin, the conductive member and each electronic component placed thereon may be integrally held with the resin used as the sealing member.

(Joining member)
The joining member is a member that joins the pedestal member onto the conductive member, and is also used as a member that joins the light emitting element, the protection element, and the like to the pedestal member. Here, the joining member used mainly for joining the base member and the conductive member will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the upper surface of the pedestal member 101 has an inclined surface that is inclined from the outer edge 101a toward the central area 101b. Here, the outer edge 101a is higher than the central area 101b. It is. When the flat base member 104 is placed thereon so that the upper surface thereof is horizontal, a gap is generated between the upper surface of the conductive member 101 and the lower surface of the base member 104. In particular, the distance of the gap in the central region 101b where the height is lowest is increased. In such a case, as the joining member, if the conductive member 101 and the pedestal member 104 are provided in the closest region, the upper surface of the pedestal member can be stably joined so as to be horizontal. That is, it is not necessary to provide a joining member on the entire lower surface of the pedestal member 104, and it may be partially provided as long as it can be stably joined horizontally. Here, it may be provided near the outer periphery of the lower surface of the base member 104.

  As a material of the bonding member, either a conductive bonding member or an insulating bonding member can be selected according to the composition of the base member and the light emitting element. As the insulating bonding member, an epoxy resin composition, a silicone resin composition, a polyimide resin composition, a modified resin thereof, a hybrid resin, or the like can be used. In addition, as the conductive bonding member, a conductive paste such as silver, gold, or palladium, solder such as Au—Sn eutectic, or a brazing material such as a low melting point metal can be used.

(Conductive wire)
Examples of the conductive wire that directly or indirectly connects the electrode of the light emitting element to the conductive member or the pedestal member include conductive wires using metals such as gold, copper, platinum, and aluminum, and alloys thereof. In particular, it is preferable to use gold excellent in thermal resistance.

(Wavelength conversion member)
In the sealing member, a fluorescent member that emits light having a different wavelength by absorbing at least a part of light from the light emitting element may be contained as a wavelength conversion member.

  As the fluorescent member, it is more efficient to convert the light from the light emitting element into a longer wavelength. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various fluorescent members such as one that converts light from the light-emitting element into a short wavelength or one that further converts light converted by another fluorescent member can be used. Such a wavelength conversion member may form one type of fluorescent member as a single layer, may form a single layer in which two or more types of fluorescent members are mixed, or one type of fluorescent member. Two or more monolayers may be laminated, or two or more monolayers in which two or more kinds of fluorescent members are mixed may be laminated.

As the fluorescent member, for example, when a semiconductor light-emitting element having a nitride-based semiconductor as a light-emitting layer is used as the light-emitting element, any member that absorbs light from the light-emitting element and converts the light to a different wavelength can be used. For example, nitride phosphors and oxynitride phosphors mainly activated by lanthanoid elements such as Eu and Ce, more specifically, Eu-activated α or β sialon phosphors, various alkaline earths Metal nitride silicate phosphors, lanthanoid elements such as Eu, alkaline earth metal halogenapatite phosphors mainly activated by transition metal elements such as Mn, alkaline earth halosilicate phosphors, alkaline earths Metal silicate phosphor, alkaline earth metal borate phosphor, alkaline earth metal aluminate phosphor, alkaline earth metal silicate, alkaline earth metal sulfide, alkaline earth metal thiogallate, alkaline earth metal Rare earth aluminate, rare earth silicate or E mainly activated by lanthanoid elements such as silicon nitride, germanate, or Ce It is preferably at least one selected from organic and organic complexes mainly activated by a lanthanoid element such as u.

(Light emitting element)
In the present invention, the light emitting element has various structures such as a structure in which positive and negative electrodes are formed on the same surface side, a structure in which positive and negative electrodes are formed on different surfaces, and a structure in which a substrate different from the growth substrate is bonded. A semiconductor element can be used.

Further, a light-emitting element that outputs not only light in the visible light region but also ultraviolet rays and infrared rays can be obtained. Furthermore, a light receiving element or the like can be mounted together with the light emitting element or alone.
<Manufacturing method>
The light emitting device as described above can be obtained as follows.

  First, a support substrate made of a metal plate or the like is prepared. This support substrate is a plate-like or sheet-like member used for forming the conductive member, and is a member that is not provided in the light-emitting device because it is removed before being separated into individual pieces. As the support substrate, in addition to a conductive metal plate such as a SUS plate, a substrate in which a conductive film is formed by sputtering or vapor deposition on an insulating plate such as polyimide can be used. Alternatively, an insulating plate member to which a metal thin film or the like can be attached can be used. In any case, since it is removed at the final stage of the process, that is, it is peeled off from the conductive member or the substrate, it is necessary to use a bendable member. Is preferred. As a specific material, in addition to the above SUS plate, a metal plate such as iron, copper, silver, kovar, nickel, or a resin sheet made of polyimide to which a metal thin film can be attached is preferable.

  A resist is applied to the surface of the support substrate as a protective film. The thickness of the conductive member formed later can be adjusted by the thickness of the resist. The protective film (resist) to be used may be either a positive type or a negative type in the case of a resist formed by photolithography.

  After the applied resist is dried, a mask having an opening is directly or indirectly placed on the resist and exposed to ultraviolet rays for exposure. Then, the protective film which has an opening part is formed by processing with an etching agent. Here, if necessary, acid activation treatment or the like may be performed.

  Next, a conductive member is formed in the opening of the protective film by plating with metal. At this time, the outer edge of the conductive member formed in contact with the protective film is formed so that the thickness of the protective film is increased. The thickness of the central region is thinner than the outer edge without any particular control. The adjustment of the thickness distribution can be controlled by adjusting the current density. Where the current density is high, the film thickness is increased by positive plating. On the other hand, where the current density is low, the film is thin because it is not actively plated.

  Next, a base is formed so as to be in contact with the outer edge of the conductive member. As a forming method, a resin such as injection molding, transfer molding, compression molding or the like can be used. After curing, the molded product can be obtained by taking out from the mold.

  Next, the light emitting element placed on the pedestal member is placed on the conductive member, and the light emitting element and the conductive member are connected using a conductive wire.

  Thereafter, a sealing member is formed by a method such as transfer molding, potting or printing so as to cover the light emitting element and the conductive wire.

  After the sealing member is cured, the support substrate is peeled off and removed, and then the light emitting device of the present invention can be obtained by dividing into pieces.

  The light-emitting device according to the present invention is small and lightweight, and can obtain a light-emitting device with light extraction efficiency, and can also be used for various display devices, lighting fixtures, displays, backlight light sources for liquid crystal displays, and the like. Can do.
