As a light source for lighting equipment, as a light source for flat-screen TVs, liquid crystal displays, mobile phones, various information terminals, and indoor and outdoor billboard advertisements, it has been widely developed.

特開2009−231148号公報JP 2009-231148 A

これらLEDを光源とする発光装置は、大光量化、高効率化が進み、これらを得るための技術として、LEDを実装する基板のより一層の光の反射特性と放熱性が求められ、また使用環境としても誘導灯、非常灯などに使用される場合には、耐熱性も必要とされる。これらに対応するためアルミニウム等のメタル基板やセラミックス基板が用いられている。   Light emitting devices using these LEDs as light sources have been increasing in light quantity and efficiency, and as a technology for obtaining these, further light reflection characteristics and heat dissipation of the substrate on which the LEDs are mounted are required and used. When it is used as an environment for a guide light, an emergency light, etc., heat resistance is also required. In order to cope with these, metal substrates such as aluminum and ceramic substrates are used.

メタル基板の場合は、実装されるLEDとの電気絶縁を図るために絶縁層を設ける必要があり、一般的にはエポキシ系の有機材が用いられている。このために、大光量化・大ワット化の際に有機材からのガス放出により、長期ライフでの光束維持率が低下する問題が生じる。   In the case of a metal substrate, it is necessary to provide an insulating layer in order to achieve electrical insulation from the mounted LED, and generally an epoxy organic material is used. For this reason, there is a problem that the luminous flux maintenance factor in the long-term life is lowered due to gas emission from the organic material when the light quantity is increased and the wattage is increased.

これを対策する手段として用いられるオール無機材料のセラミックス基板は、一般的には純度96%のアルミナ基板が用いられる。しかし、一般的なアルミナでは、反射率が88〜91%と低く、また熱伝導率が23w/mKで低く、反射特性と放熱性の必要な照明用LEDの基板として用いる際には課題があった。また、窒化アルミの場合には、熱伝導率は100〜170w/mKと高いが、母材がクリーム色またはグレー色で反射率が低い。このように、一般的なセラミックス基板においては、放熱性と反射特性を如何に両立させ発光効率を向上させるかが課題となっている。   As an all-inorganic material ceramic substrate used as a measure for this, an alumina substrate having a purity of 96% is generally used. However, general alumina has a low reflectance of 88 to 91% and a low thermal conductivity of 23 w / mK, and there are problems when used as a substrate for an LED for lighting that requires reflection characteristics and heat dissipation. It was. In the case of aluminum nitride, the thermal conductivity is as high as 100 to 170 w / mK, but the base material is cream or gray and the reflectance is low. As described above, in general ceramic substrates, there is a problem of how to improve the light emission efficiency by achieving both heat dissipation and reflection characteristics.

また、透光性セラミックス基板として、透光性アルミナを用いることも提案されているが、材質として透光性アルミナ(PCA(多結晶))は、透光性アルミナ(サファイア(単結晶))よりは光の直線透過率が劣り、透光性アルミナ(PCA(多結晶))や窒化アルミをLEDの基板として用いるには、さらなる改善・工夫が必要である。一方、LED電球やGX53形口金対応ユニット等におけるLED光源における課題は、上記発光効率の向上に加え、目的とする配光、特に広い配光角を如何にして実現するかが重要な課題となっている。   It has also been proposed to use translucent alumina as the translucent ceramic substrate. However, translucent alumina (PCA (polycrystalline)) is made of translucent alumina (sapphire (single crystal)) as a material. The linear transmittance of light is inferior, and further improvement and ingenuity are required in order to use translucent alumina (PCA (polycrystalline)) or aluminum nitride as an LED substrate. On the other hand, the problem with LED light sources in LED bulbs, GX53-type cap-compatible units, etc. is an important issue in addition to the improvement in luminous efficiency, how to achieve the desired light distribution, especially a wide light distribution angle. ing.

本発明は、上記課題に鑑みてなされたもので、高純度で熱伝導率が高い透光性セラミックスを用いて基板を構成し、発光効率を向上させ、かつ所望の配光を得ることが可能な発光装置、光源体および照明器具を提供しようとするものである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is possible to construct a substrate using translucent ceramics having high purity and high thermal conductivity, to improve luminous efficiency, and to obtain a desired light distribution. A light emitting device, a light source body, and a lighting fixture are provided.

以下、本発明に係る発光装置、光源体および照明器具の実施形態について説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of a light emitting device, a light source body, and a lighting fixture according to the present invention will be described.

実施形態1Embodiment 1

先ず、発光装置の構成につき説明する。本実施形態の発光装置は、一般照明用の白熱電球に代替可能な口金付ランプからなる光源体の光源として用いられるもので、図1、図2に示すように、発光装置10は、透光性セラミックスからなる基板11と、基板の一面側に配設され、基板の少なくとも他面側に透光性セラミックスを介して光を放射する発光素子12で構成する。 First, the configuration of the light emitting device will be described. The light emitting device according to the present embodiment is used as a light source of a light source body composed of a lamp with a cap that can be substituted for an incandescent bulb for general illumination. As shown in FIGS. a substrate 11 made of sexual ceramics, is disposed on one side of the substrate, composed of a light-emitting element 12 to emit light through the translucent ceramic at least on the other side of the substrate.

基板11は、純度が97%以上で熱伝導率が25w/mK以上の透光性セラミックス、本実施形態では、純度が99.99%で、熱伝導率が33w/mKの透光性アルミナ(PCA(多結晶))からなり、厚さ約0.5mmの薄い平板で四隅をカットした略正方形をなすように構成した。ここで純度が97%以上の透光性セラミックスは、アルミナ等の含有率が97%以上の透光性セラミックスであり、含有率が正確に97%以上に設定されたものが最適であるが、製造誤差等の範囲で97%を下回る含有率であってもよく、要は略97%以上の含有率を有していればよい。同様に、熱伝導率が25w/mK以上の透光性セラミックスとは、熱伝導率が正確に25w/mK以上に設定されたものが最適であるが、製造誤差等の範囲で25w/mKを下回る熱伝導率であってもよく、要は略25w/mK以上の熱伝導率を有していればよい。   The substrate 11 is a translucent ceramic having a purity of 97% or more and a thermal conductivity of 25 w / mK or more. In this embodiment, the substrate 11 is a translucent alumina having a purity of 99.99% and a thermal conductivity of 33 w / mK ( PCA (polycrystal)), and a thin flat plate having a thickness of about 0.5 mm was formed to have a substantially square shape with four corners cut. Here, the translucent ceramic having a purity of 97% or more is a translucent ceramic having a content of 97% or more such as alumina, and the content is optimally set to 97% or more. The content may be less than 97% within the range of manufacturing error, and the point is that the content may be about 97% or more. Similarly, a translucent ceramic having a thermal conductivity of 25 w / mK or more is optimally set to a thermal conductivity of exactly 25 w / mK or more. The thermal conductivity may be lower, and the point is that the thermal conductivity is approximately 25 w / mK or more.

基板11の一面側(表面側)には、内周面が略正方形をなす土手部11aを形成することにより、浅い略正方形の収容凹部11bを形成する。土手部は、白色の合成樹脂製で基板の一面側に塗布されることにより構成される。この収容凹部11bの底面、すなわち、基板11の表面に銀、銀パラジウム、金、銅などの金属ペーストをスクリーン印刷して配線パターンを形成する。この際、基板11はセラミックスで構成されており電気絶縁性を有しているので、配線パターンとの間にはエポキシ系の有機材からなる電気絶縁処理を施す必要がなくなり、ガスの放出がなく長期ライフでの光束維持率が低下することがない。また、コスト的に有利となる。   On one surface side (front surface side) of the substrate 11, a bank portion 11 a whose inner peripheral surface forms a substantially square shape is formed, thereby forming a shallow substantially square accommodating recess portion 11 b. The bank is made of white synthetic resin and is applied to one surface of the substrate. A wiring pattern is formed by screen printing a metal paste such as silver, silver palladium, gold, or copper on the bottom surface of the housing recess 11b, that is, the surface of the substrate 11. At this time, since the substrate 11 is made of ceramics and has electrical insulation, it is not necessary to perform an electrical insulation treatment made of an epoxy organic material between the wiring pattern and there is no gas emission. The luminous flux maintenance factor in the long-term life does not decrease. Moreover, it becomes advantageous in cost.

この基板11には、COB技術を使用して基板の収容凹部11bにおける配線パターンに対して、複数の発光素子12、本実施形態では発光ダイオード(以下「LED」と称す)を略マトリックス状にボンディングして実装する。また、略マトリックス状に規則的に配置された各LED12は、隣接する配線パターンとボンディングワイヤによって直列に接続される。本実施形態のLED12は、高輝度、高出力の青色LEDチップで構成する。その構成は、図1(b)に示すように、透光性のサファイア素子基板12aに発光層12bが積層され、発光層はn型窒化物半導体層とInGaN発光層とp型窒化物半導体層とが順次積層されて略直方体をなすように形成されている。   A plurality of light emitting elements 12, in the present embodiment, light emitting diodes (hereinafter referred to as “LEDs”) are bonded to the substrate 11 in a substantially matrix shape with respect to the wiring pattern in the housing recess 11 b of the substrate using COB technology. And implement. The LEDs 12 regularly arranged in a substantially matrix form are connected in series by adjacent wiring patterns and bonding wires. The LED 12 of the present embodiment is composed of a blue LED chip with high brightness and high output. As shown in FIG. 1B, the light emitting layer 12b is laminated on a translucent sapphire element substrate 12a, and the light emitting layer includes an n-type nitride semiconductor layer, an InGaN light emitting layer, and a p-type nitride semiconductor layer.

上記に構成された基板11の収容凹部11bには、光変換手段、本実施形態では蛍光体層11cが配設される。この蛍光体層は蛍光体含有樹脂、本実施形態では、透明なシリコーン樹脂に黄色蛍光体を分散・混合した封止部材で形成され、収容凹部11bに塗布または充填されて蛍光体層11cが構成される。   In the housing recess 11b of the substrate 11 configured as described above, a light conversion means, in the present embodiment, a phosphor layer 11c is disposed. This phosphor layer is formed of a phosphor-containing resin, in this embodiment, a sealing member in which a yellow phosphor is dispersed and mixed in a transparent silicone resin, and is applied or filled in the housing recess 11b to form the phosphor layer 11c. Is done.

蛍光体層11cは、上述した青色LEDチップから放射される青色光を透過させると共に、青色光によって黄色蛍光体を励起して黄色光に変換し、透過した青色光と黄色光が混光して白色の光を放射する。なお、上記蛍光体層11cが、基板11の一面側(表面側)の上側蛍光体層を構成する。   The phosphor layer 11c transmits the blue light emitted from the blue LED chip described above, and excites the yellow phosphor by the blue light to convert it into yellow light. The transmitted blue light and yellow light are mixed. Emits white light. The phosphor layer 11c constitutes an upper phosphor layer on one side (front side) of the substrate 11.

なお、蛍光体層11cを形成する手法としては、次のものがある。すなわち、土手部11aの中に蛍光体樹脂を流し込む方法、さらに他の方法として、成型機によって蛍光体層を形成する方法、ディッピングによって形成する方法がある。   As a method for forming the phosphor layer 11c, there are the following methods. That is, there are a method in which a phosphor resin is poured into the bank portion 11a, and another method includes a method in which a phosphor layer is formed by a molding machine and a method in which dipping is performed.

また、図2(a)に示すように、配線パターンから基板11の側縁部に、それぞれ延長して入力端子部を構成する一対の給電端子11dが設けられる。この各給電端子11dは、透光性アルミナの上に銀(Ag)層が形成される。一方が+側の給電端子、他方が−側の給電端子を構成する。なお、基板11には、各給電端子11dに接続されたコネクタ11eが設けられる。これにより、発光素子であるLED12が一面側に実装されて配設された略正方形の発光面Aを有する基板11が構成される。なお、図中x−x線は光軸である。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, a pair of power supply terminals 11d that respectively extend from the wiring pattern to the side edge portion of the substrate 11 and constitute an input terminal portion are provided. Each power supply terminal 11d has a silver (Ag) layer formed on translucent alumina. One constitutes the + side power supply terminal and the other constitutes the − side power supply terminal. The board 11 is provided with a connector 11e connected to each power supply terminal 11d. Thereby, the board | substrate 11 which has the substantially square light emission surface A by which LED12 which is a light emitting element was mounted and arrange | positioned by the one surface side is comprised. In the figure, the xx line is the optical axis.

そして、基板11の他面側(裏面側)には、導光体13および熱伝導部材14が配設される。導光体13は、透光体、本実施形態では透明なポリカーボネイト樹脂で、縦断面形状が略鼓形をなす円筒体となるように一体に構成され、その頂面が基板11の他面側の略中央部に透明な透光性を有する接着剤13aで固着され、導光体13の軸心が光軸x−xに略合致するようにして支持される。導光体13の頂面は、透光性アルミナからなる基板11の発光面Aから、基板を透過して他面側に放射される光を全て取り込むことができるように、略正方形をなす発光面Aを覆うことができる直径の頂面を有する円筒体に形成する。なお、本実施形態において、透光性を有する接着剤13aはジェル状のシリコーン樹脂からなる接着剤を用いた。   And the light guide 13 and the heat conductive member 14 are arrange | positioned at the other surface side (back surface side) of the board | substrate 11. FIG. The light guide 13 is made of a translucent material, which is a transparent polycarbonate resin in the present embodiment, and is integrally formed so as to be a cylindrical body having a substantially drum shape in the longitudinal section, and the top surface is the other surface side of the substrate 11. The light guide 13 is supported so that the axial center of the light guide 13 substantially coincides with the optical axis xx. The top surface of the light guide 13 emits light in a substantially square shape so that all the light transmitted through the substrate and emitted to the other surface side can be taken in from the light emitting surface A of the substrate 11 made of translucent alumina. It is formed into a cylindrical body having a top surface with a diameter that can cover surface A. In the present embodiment, the adhesive 13a having translucency is an adhesive made of a gel-like silicone resin.

上記により、図1(b)に示すように、青色LEDチップにおける発光層12bから、チップの他面側(裏面側)の透光性サファイア素子基板12aを透過して放射される光b(図1(b)中下方に向かう光)を、光軸x−xに沿って他面側、すなわち、口金付ランプを構成した場合にはランプの背面側(口金側)に導き、背面発光を加えて配光角を広くした両面発光機能を1枚の基板によって果たすことが可能になる。   As described above, as shown in FIG. 1B, light b (FIG. 1) is emitted from the light emitting layer 12b of the blue LED chip through the translucent sapphire element substrate 12a on the other surface side (back surface side) of the chip. 1 (b), the light traveling downward in the middle) is guided along the optical axis xx to the other side, that is, the back side of the lamp (base side) when a lamp with a base is constructed, Thus, it is possible to achieve a double-sided light emitting function with a wide light distribution angle by a single substrate.

熱伝導部材14は、熱伝導性の良好な銅やアルミニウム等の金属、本実施形態ではアルミニウムからなる中実の円柱状に形成され、円筒体からなる導光体13の軸心に沿って挿入嵌合され、その頂面を基板11の他面側の一部、本実施形態では、略中心部に熱伝導性を有する耐熱性の接着剤13aで熱的に密着させて固着し、熱伝導部材14の軸心が光軸x−xと略合致するようにして支持される。なお、本実施形態において、熱伝導性を有する耐熱性の接着剤13aはジェル状のシリコーン樹脂からなる接着剤を用いた。上記により、LED12から発生する熱を円柱状の熱伝導部材14に伝達して放熱させることが可能になる。なお、これら放熱作用に関し、上述した導光体13は無くても問題はない。   The heat conducting member 14 is formed in a solid columnar shape made of a metal such as copper or aluminum having good heat conductivity, aluminum in this embodiment, and is inserted along the axis of the light guide 13 made of a cylindrical body. The top surface of the substrate 11 is fitted and fixed to a part of the other surface side of the substrate 11, in this embodiment, substantially in the center by heat-adhering with a heat-resistant adhesive 13 a having thermal conductivity, and heat conduction. The member 14 is supported such that the axis of the member 14 substantially coincides with the optical axis xx. In the present embodiment, the heat-resistant adhesive 13a having thermal conductivity is an adhesive made of a gel-like silicone resin. As described above, the heat generated from the LED 12 can be transmitted to the cylindrical heat conducting member 14 to be dissipated. In addition, regarding these heat radiation effects, there is no problem even if the light guide 13 described above is not provided.

図中15は、円柱状の熱伝導部材14の下端部が固着されることにより、発光装置10全体を支持するための支持部材で、この支持部材15は放熱体の作用も兼ねるために、熱伝導部材14と同様に熱伝導性の良好な銅やアルミニウム等の金属、本実施形態ではアルミニウムからなる円筒状をなす形状に形成され、円筒の内面に円柱状の熱伝導部材14の下端部が挿入され熱伝導性を有する耐熱性の接着剤で固定される。本実施形態において、熱伝導性を有する耐熱性の接着剤はジェル状のシリコーン樹脂からなる接着剤を用いた。   In the figure, reference numeral 15 denotes a support member for supporting the entire light emitting device 10 by fixing the lower end portion of the cylindrical heat conducting member 14, and this support member 15 also serves as a heat radiator. Like the conductive member 14, it is formed in a cylindrical shape made of a metal such as copper or aluminum having good thermal conductivity, aluminum in this embodiment, and the lower end portion of the columnar heat conductive member 14 is formed on the inner surface of the cylinder. It is inserted and fixed with a heat-resistant adhesive having thermal conductivity. In the present embodiment, an adhesive made of a gel-like silicone resin was used as the heat-resistant adhesive having thermal conductivity.

これにより、LED12から発生する熱は、円柱状の熱伝導部材14から円筒状の支持部材15に伝達され、外部に効果的に放熱させることが可能になる。上記により、発光素子であるLED12が基板11の一面側に配設され、基板の他面側(背面側)に透光性セラミックスを介して光を放射することが可能な発光装置10が構成される。   Thereby, the heat generated from the LED 12 is transmitted from the columnar heat conducting member 14 to the cylindrical support member 15 and can be effectively radiated to the outside. As described above, the light emitting device 10 is configured in which the LED 12 as a light emitting element is disposed on one surface side of the substrate 11 and can emit light to the other surface side (back surface side) of the substrate through the translucent ceramic. The

次に、上記に構成された発光装置10を光源として用いた光源体の構成につき説明する。本実施形態の光源体は、一般照明用の白熱電球に代替可能な口金付ランプ20を構成するもので、図3に示すように、上述した発光装置10と、発光装置を支持し発光装置に電源を供給する電気接続部21と、発光装置を覆うように設けられる透光性のカバー部材22と、発光装置を点灯する点灯装置23で構成する。   Next, a configuration of a light source body using the light emitting device 10 configured as described above as a light source will be described. The light source body of the present embodiment constitutes a lamp 20 with a cap that can be substituted for an incandescent light bulb for general illumination. As shown in FIG. 3, the light emitting device 10 and the light emitting device described above are supported by the light emitting device. It comprises an electrical connecting portion 21 for supplying power, a translucent cover member 22 provided so as to cover the light emitting device, and a lighting device 23 for lighting the light emitting device.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the electrical connecting portion 21 is composed of a base member constituting an Edison type E26 type. The base member 21 includes a cylindrical shell portion 21a made of a copper plate having a thread and a conductive eyelet portion 21c provided on the top of the lower end of the shell portion via an electrical insulating portion 21b.

そして、シェル部21aの開口部に発光装置10およびカバー部材22が支持される。すなわち、発光装置の円筒状の支持部材15が、シェル部21aの開口部に嵌合され、支持部材15の外周面とシェル部21aの内面との隙間に対して、熱伝導性を有するシリコーン樹脂やエポキシ樹脂等からなる接着剤を充填して固着し、発光装置10全体が電気接続部である口金部材21に支持される。同時に、LED12から発生する熱は、円柱状の熱伝導部材14から支持部材15を経由してシェル部21aすなわち口金部材21に伝達され、外部に効果的に放熱させることが可能になる。なお、支持部材15は、後述する点灯装置23を収納するための凹部15aが内側に形成されている。   And the light-emitting device 10 and the cover member 22 are supported by the opening part of the shell part 21a. That is, the cylindrical support member 15 of the light emitting device is fitted into the opening of the shell portion 21a, and a silicone resin having thermal conductivity with respect to the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the support member 15 and the inner surface of the shell portion 21a. An adhesive made of epoxy resin or the like is filled and fixed, and the entire light emitting device 10 is supported by a base member 21 that is an electrical connection portion. At the same time, heat generated from the LED 12 is transmitted from the cylindrical heat conducting member 14 to the shell portion 21a, that is, the base member 21 via the support member 15, and can be effectively radiated to the outside. The support member 15 is formed with a recess 15a for accommodating a lighting device 23 described later.

発光装置10を覆うように設けられる透光性のカバー部材22は、ランプのグローブを構成するもので、例えば、厚さが薄いガラスや合成樹脂などの材質で構成され、透明または光拡散性を有する乳白色などの半透明、本実施形態では乳白色のポリカーボネイト(PC)樹脂で構成した。そして、本実施形態のカバー部材22は、発光装置10の発光部Aを主として覆う上側カバー部22aと、導光体13を主として覆う下側カバー部22bの2つに分割して発光面積を増やすように構成した。上側カバー部22aと下側カバー部22bの分割線は、発光装置10の発光部Aを略通過する水平方向の線、換言すれば、グローブの略最大径部付近で光軸x−xと略直交する線y−yを境にして2分割する。   The translucent cover member 22 provided so as to cover the light emitting device 10 constitutes a globe of the lamp. For example, the translucent cover member 22 is made of a thin material such as glass or synthetic resin, and is transparent or light diffusing. In this embodiment, it is made of milky white polycarbonate (PC) resin. And the cover member 22 of this embodiment divides | segments into two, the upper side cover part 22a which mainly covers the light emission part A of the light-emitting device 10, and the lower side cover part 22b which mainly covers the light guide 13, and increases a light emission area. It was configured as follows. The dividing line between the upper cover portion 22a and the lower cover portion 22b is a horizontal line that substantially passes through the light emitting portion A of the light emitting device 10, in other words, approximately the optical axis xx in the vicinity of the substantially maximum diameter portion of the globe. Dividing into two with the orthogonal line yy as the boundary.

上側カバー部22aは、下方に開放した開口部22a1を有する略半球面状をなし、その球面の形状は、一般白熱電球のボール部分のシルエットに近似させた滑らかな曲面状に形成する。下側カバー部22bは、上方に上側カバー部22aの開口部22a1に合致する開口部22b1を有し、下方に径の小さい開口部22b2を有し、その外側面が、下方に向けて緩やかに湾曲させることにより、外観が一般照明用の白熱電球におけるネック部のシルエットと同様の形状になるように形成する。なお、上側カバー部22aと下側カバー部22bは、これらの開口部22a1、22b1同士の突合せ面が超音波溶接等の手段により固着されて一体化され一つのグローブとして構成される。そして、下側カバー部22bの下方の径の小さい開口部22b2が口金部材21のシェル部21aの開口部に嵌合されて耐熱性を有するシリコーン樹脂やエポキシ樹脂等の接着剤によって固着され支持される。   The upper cover portion 22a has a substantially hemispherical shape having an opening 22a1 opened downward, and the shape of the spherical surface is formed as a smooth curved surface approximated to the silhouette of a ball portion of a general incandescent bulb. The lower cover portion 22b has an opening portion 22b1 that matches the opening portion 22a1 of the upper cover portion 22a at the upper side, and has an opening portion 22b2 having a small diameter at the lower side, and its outer surface is gently lowered toward the lower side. By curving, it is formed so that the appearance is similar to the silhouette of the neck portion in a general lighting incandescent bulb. Note that the upper cover portion 22a and the lower cover portion 22b are configured as a single glove by abutment surfaces of these openings 22a1 and 22b1 being fixed by means such as ultrasonic welding. An opening 22b2 having a small diameter below the lower cover portion 22b is fitted into the opening of the shell portion 21a of the base member 21, and is fixed and supported by an adhesive such as a heat-resistant silicone resin or epoxy resin. The

点灯装置23は、図3に示すように、発光装置10におけるLED12の点灯回路を構成する回路部品23aと、回路部品を実装した回路基板23bからなる。点灯回路は、交流電圧100Vを3.1V程度の直流電圧に変換してLED12に定電流の直流電流を供給するように構成される。回路基板23bは短冊状をなすガラスエポキシ材からなり、片面または両面に小形の電子部品が実装される。   As shown in FIG. 3, the lighting device 23 includes a circuit component 23 a that constitutes a lighting circuit of the LED 12 in the light emitting device 10 and a circuit board 23 b on which the circuit component is mounted. The lighting circuit is configured to convert the AC voltage 100V to a DC voltage of about 3.1V and supply a constant DC current to the LED 12. The circuit board 23b is made of a glass epoxy material having a strip shape, and small electronic components are mounted on one side or both sides.

そして、点灯装置23は、口金部材21のシェル部21a内に収納されて支持される。すなわち、回路基板23bを縦方向にし、上方部分がPBT樹脂等の合成樹脂からなるホルダ24の空洞内に挿入され、中間から下方部分がシェル部21a内に配置されて支持される(図3)。回路基板を支持したホルダ24は、円筒状をなす支持部材15の凹部15aに嵌合されて支持され、点灯装置23が口金部材21内に電気絶縁を図った状態で収納される。なお、回路基板23bとホルダ24、ホルダと支持部材の凹部15aさらにシェル部21a内面と回路基板23bとの間には、シリコーン樹脂やエポキシ樹脂等の耐熱性で熱伝導性を有し、かつ電気絶縁性を有する接着剤を充填することによって固着するようにするとよい。   The lighting device 23 is housed and supported in the shell portion 21 a of the base member 21. That is, the circuit board 23b is set in the vertical direction, the upper part is inserted into the cavity of the holder 24 made of a synthetic resin such as PBT resin, and the lower part is arranged and supported in the shell portion 21a from the middle (FIG. 3). . The holder 24 that supports the circuit board is fitted and supported in the recess 15 a of the cylindrical support member 15, and the lighting device 23 is accommodated in the base member 21 in a state of electrical insulation. Between the circuit board 23b and the holder 24, the recess 15a of the holder and the support member, and the inner surface of the shell 21a and the circuit board 23b, the circuit board 23b has heat resistance and heat conductivity such as silicone resin and epoxy resin, and is electrically It is good to fix by filling the adhesive which has insulation.

そして、回路基板23bの出力端子には電線w1が接続され、この電線がホルダ24、支持部材15の電線挿通孔(図示せず)を挿通して基板11のコネクタ11eに接続される。また、回路基板23bの入力端子には口金部材21に接続される入力線(図示せず)が接続される。なお、点灯装置23は、上記のように、電球内に内蔵させて、一般照明用の白熱電球とそのまま代替ができるように構成することが好適であるが、コンパクト形蛍光ランプのように点灯装置はランプを装着する器具側に別置きにして設け、電球側には内蔵させないように構成してもよい。   And the electric wire w1 is connected to the output terminal of the circuit board 23b, and this electric wire passes through the holder 24 and the electric wire insertion hole (not shown) of the support member 15, and is connected to the connector 11e of the board 11. An input line (not shown) connected to the base member 21 is connected to the input terminal of the circuit board 23b. As described above, the lighting device 23 is preferably built in the light bulb so that it can be directly replaced with an incandescent light bulb for general illumination. However, the lighting device 23 is a compact fluorescent lamp. May be provided separately on the side of the appliance on which the lamp is mounted and may not be built in the bulb side.

上記により、一般照明用の白熱電球と同様に、頂部の前面側から側面周囲にわたって発光面積を増やすようにグローブが形成されたPS形状のカバー部材22を有し、他端側にE26形の口金部材21が設けられ、全体の外観形状が一般照明用の白熱電球全体のシルエットと同様の外観形状をなした電球形の口金付ランプ10が構成される。   As described above, similarly to the incandescent light bulb for general lighting, it has the PS-shaped cover member 22 in which the globe is formed so as to increase the light emitting area from the front surface side of the top portion to the periphery of the side surface, and the E26 type cap on the other end side The member 21 is provided, and the light bulb-shaped lamp with cap 10 is configured in which the overall appearance is the same as the overall silhouette of an incandescent bulb for general lighting.

次に、光源体である上記構成の口金付ランプの組み立て手順について説明する。先ず、発光装置10と点灯装置23を予め組み立てる。円筒状の支持部材15に対し、ホルダ24を介して回路基板23bを嵌合して支持し、回路基板23bの出力端子の電線w1を基板11のコネクタ11eに接続する。さらに点灯装置23の入力線(図示せず)を引き出しておく。   Next, a procedure for assembling the lamp with the cap having the above-described structure as the light source body will be described. First, the light emitting device 10 and the lighting device 23 are assembled in advance. The circuit board 23b is fitted and supported to the cylindrical support member 15 via the holder 24, and the electric wire w1 of the output terminal of the circuit board 23b is connected to the connector 11e of the board 11. Further, an input line (not shown) of the lighting device 23 is drawn out.

次に、上記のように点灯装置23を組み込んで構成された発光装置10を、下側カバー部22bの大きな径の開口部22b1から発光装置10の支持部材15を下側にして挿入し、さらに下方の径の小さな開口部22b2を通して突出させる。そして、引き出された入力線を、口金部材21のシェル部21aおよびアイレット部21cに接続する。   Next, the light-emitting device 10 configured to incorporate the lighting device 23 as described above is inserted through the large-diameter opening 22b1 of the lower cover portion 22b with the support member 15 of the light-emitting device 10 on the lower side, and It protrudes through the opening 22b2 having a small diameter below. Then, the drawn input line is connected to the shell portion 21a and the eyelet portion 21c of the base member 21.

次に、下側カバー部22bの下方の開口部22b2から突出した支持部材15を、口金部材21のシェル部21aの開口部に嵌合して接着剤で固着する。さらに、下側カバー部22bの下方の開口部22b2を、シェル部21aの開口部に嵌合して接着剤により固着する。   Next, the support member 15 protruding from the opening 22b2 below the lower cover portion 22b is fitted into the opening of the shell portion 21a of the base member 21 and fixed with an adhesive. Furthermore, the opening 22b2 below the lower cover portion 22b is fitted into the opening of the shell portion 21a and fixed with an adhesive.

次に、上側カバー部22aの開口部22a1を下側カバー部22bの径の大きな開口部22b1に被せ、開口部同士の突合せ面を超音波溶接により固着する。これにより、点灯装置23を電球内に内蔵した口金付ランプ10が構成される。   Next, the opening 22a1 of the upper cover 22a is placed over the opening 22b1 having a large diameter of the lower cover 22b, and the butted surfaces of the openings are fixed by ultrasonic welding. Thereby, the lamp | ramp 10 with a nozzle | cap | die which incorporated the lighting device 23 in the light bulb is comprised.

次に、上記に構成された口金付ランプ10の作動につき説明する。図3に示すように、口金付ランプ10に口金部材21を介して電源を供給し点灯させると、発光装置10における青色LEDチップの発光層12bから一面側に向かって光aが放射される。この光aは略正方形の面状をなす発光部Aにおける上側蛍光体層11cの黄色蛍光体を介して白色の光となり、上側カバー部22aの内面に向かって放射されて透過し頂部の前面側を主として照射する。   Next, the operation of the cap-equipped lamp 10 configured as described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, when the lamp with cap 10 is supplied with power through the cap member 21 and is lit, light a is emitted from the light emitting layer 12 b of the blue LED chip in the light emitting device 10 toward the one surface side. The light a becomes white light through the yellow phosphor of the upper phosphor layer 11c in the light emitting part A having a substantially square surface, and is emitted and transmitted toward the inner surface of the upper cover part 22a. Is mainly irradiated.

また、青色LEDチップにおける発光層12bから、チップの他面側(裏面側)の透光性サファイア素子基板12aを透過して放射される光b(図1(b)、図3中下方に向かう光)は、透光性アルミナからなる基板11を透過し、導光体13によって光軸x−x方向に沿って他面側、すなわち、口金付ランプ10の背面側(口金部材21側)に導かれ、円筒状の鼓形をなす導光体13内で屈折されて拡散され、導光体13の外周部から下側カバー部材22bの内面に向かって放射されて透過し、側面周囲を主として照射する。なお、青色LEDチップから透光性アルミナ製の基板11を透過して放射され下方に向かう光bは、黄色蛍光体を介さずに放射されるため青みをおびた白色の光が放射される。   Further, light b (FIG. 1B) emitted from the light emitting layer 12b of the blue LED chip through the translucent sapphire element substrate 12a on the other surface side (back surface side) of the chip is directed downward in FIG. Light) is transmitted through the substrate 11 made of translucent alumina, and is guided to the other side along the optical axis xx direction by the light guide 13, that is, to the back side (base member 21 side) of the base lamp 10. Guided, refracted and diffused in the cylindrical light guide 13, radiated from the outer periphery of the light guide 13 toward the inner surface of the lower cover member 22 b and transmitted, mainly around the side surface Irradiate. Note that the light b that is emitted from the blue LED chip through the translucent alumina substrate 11 and is directed downward is emitted without passing through the yellow phosphor, and thus bluish white light is emitted.

これにより、一般照明用の白熱電球と同様に、頂部の前面側から側面周囲にわたって略全体が均等に光るように配光角θ1を広くした背面発光も行うことが可能になり、一般照明用の白熱電球と同様の所望の配光特性を有する照明を行うことができる。   As a result, in the same way as incandescent light bulbs for general lighting, it is possible to perform back light emission with a wide light distribution angle θ1 so that the entire light is emitted evenly from the front side of the top to the periphery of the side surface. Illumination having desired light distribution characteristics similar to incandescent bulbs can be performed.

この際、熱伝導部材14は、電球の中心軸である光軸x−xに設けられているので、導光体13の外周部から下側カバー部材22bの内面に向かって放射される光bが、熱伝導部材14によって殆んど遮られることなく、光の取り出し効率を向上させることができる。同時に、一部が影となっても、その陰影は周囲に均等に分散されることから色むらが生じ難くなる。   At this time, since the heat conducting member 14 is provided on the optical axis xx that is the central axis of the bulb, the light b emitted from the outer peripheral portion of the light guide 13 toward the inner surface of the lower cover member 22b. However, the light extraction efficiency can be improved without being substantially blocked by the heat conducting member 14. At the same time, even if a part becomes a shadow, the shading is evenly distributed in the periphery, so that uneven color is less likely to occur.

同時に、口金付ランプ10が点灯されると、LED12の温度が上昇し熱が発生する。その熱は、熱伝導率の高い透光性アルミナ製の基板11から、熱伝導率の良好な銅またはアルミニウム製の熱伝導部材14に伝達され、さらに熱伝導部材の下端部が固着された銅またはアルミニウム製の支持部材15に伝達され、さらに熱伝導性の良好な銅板からなる口金部材21に伝達され、同様に銅板で構成された器具側のソケットを介して外部に放熱される。ソケットから器具への熱伝導率を上げるため、ソケット外器材は、熱伝導セラミックスまたは樹脂を用いる。そして、この放熱作用は、点灯中において常に継続して行われることにより、LED12における発光効率の低下を抑制することが可能になる。   At the same time, when the lamp with cap 10 is turned on, the temperature of the LED 12 rises and heat is generated. The heat is transferred from the translucent alumina substrate 11 having high thermal conductivity to the copper or aluminum thermal conductive member 14 having good thermal conductivity, and the lower end of the thermal conductive member is fixed to the copper. Alternatively, it is transmitted to the support member 15 made of aluminum, further transmitted to the base member 21 made of a copper plate having good thermal conductivity, and radiated to the outside through a socket on the side of the appliance which is similarly formed of a copper plate. In order to increase the thermal conductivity from the socket to the appliance, the socket external device is made of thermally conductive ceramics or resin. And since this heat dissipation action is continuously performed during lighting, it becomes possible to suppress a decrease in light emission efficiency in the LED 12.

また、同時に点灯装置23の回路基板23bが口金部材21内に熱伝導性の良好な接着剤を充填して支持されることにより、内蔵された回路基板23bの熱も接着剤で拡散され、さらに銅板からなるシェル部21aを介して外部に放熱されることから、回路部品23aの温度上昇も抑制することができ、電子部品の信頼性を高めることも可能になる。上記作用によって、高純度で熱伝導率が高い透光性アルミナを用いて基板を構成することにより、発光効率を向上させ、かつ所望の配光を得ることが可能な発光装置および光源体を構成することが可能になる。   At the same time, since the circuit board 23b of the lighting device 23 is supported by filling the base member 21 with an adhesive having good thermal conductivity, the heat of the built-in circuit board 23b is also diffused by the adhesive. Since heat is radiated to the outside through the shell portion 21a made of a copper plate, the temperature rise of the circuit component 23a can be suppressed, and the reliability of the electronic component can be improved. By the above action, a light emitting device and a light source body that can improve luminous efficiency and obtain a desired light distribution by configuring a substrate using translucent alumina having high purity and high thermal conductivity are configured. It becomes possible to do.

実施形態2Embodiment 2

本実施形態の発光装置は、実施形態1の発光装置10において、青色LEDチップから透光性アルミナ製の基板11を透過して放射され、下方に向かう青みをおびた白色の光bを、上方に向かう光aと同様に、より白色の光となるようにして色むらを改善するとともに、熱伝導部材14として、より放熱性能の高いヒートパイプを用いることによって発光効率を一層向上させたものである。なお、本実施形態を示す図4〜図6には、実施形態1と同一部分に同一の符合を付すことにより、詳細な説明は省略する。   The light emitting device of the present embodiment is the same as that of the light emitting device 10 of the first embodiment. The blue light emitting bluish white light b emitted from the blue LED chip through the translucent substrate 11 is emitted upward. Similar to the light a toward the light source, the color unevenness is improved by making the light whiter, and the luminous efficiency is further improved by using a heat pipe with higher heat dissipation performance as the heat conducting member 14. is there. 4 to 6 showing the present embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same portions as those in the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

すなわち、実施形態1と同様に、純度が99.99%で、熱伝導率が33w/mKの透光性アルミナ(PCA(多結晶))からなる基板11の他面側(裏面側)に対し光変換手段、本実施形態では蛍光体層11c1(以下「下側蛍光体層」と称す)を配設する。本実施形態では、シート状をなす黄色蛍光体を透明なシリコーン樹脂等からなる接着剤で基板11の他面側に貼付して構成した。このシート状の蛍光体層は、後述する熱伝導部材であるヒートパイプを避けて貼付する。これにより、青色LEDチップから透光性アルミナ製の基板11を透過して放射され、下方に向かう青色光bは、下側蛍光体層11c1の黄色蛍光体を介することにより、上方に向かう光aと同様に白色の光となる。なお、下側蛍光体層11c1は、シート状ではなく上側蛍光体層11cと同様に、土手部11aの収容凹部11bに蛍光体含有樹脂である封止部材を充填して構成してもよい。   That is, as in the first embodiment, with respect to the other surface side (back surface side) of the substrate 11 made of translucent alumina (PCA (polycrystalline)) having a purity of 99.99% and a thermal conductivity of 33 w / mK. A light conversion means, in this embodiment, a phosphor layer 11c1 (hereinafter referred to as “lower phosphor layer”) is provided. In the present embodiment, a sheet-like yellow phosphor is attached to the other surface side of the substrate 11 with an adhesive made of a transparent silicone resin or the like. This sheet-like phosphor layer is pasted while avoiding a heat pipe which is a heat conducting member described later. As a result, the blue light b emitted from the blue LED chip through the translucent alumina substrate 11 and traveling downward is transmitted through the yellow phosphor of the lower phosphor layer 11c1 to the upward light a. It becomes white light as well. Note that the lower phosphor layer 11c1 may be configured by filling the housing recess 11b of the bank portion 11a with a sealing member that is a phosphor-containing resin, in the same manner as the upper phosphor layer 11c instead of the sheet shape.

また、本実施形態における熱伝導部材14は、円柱状のアルミニウムに替えて、細く長いヒートパイプで構成する。このヒートパイプ14は、銅パイプからなり作動液として代替フロンが封入されている。そしてヒートパイプ14の上端部が連結部材30に固着され、下端部が実施形態1と同様に、放熱体を兼ねる支持部材15に固着されている。連結部材30は、ヒートパイプ14と同様に銅で構成し、上端部に鍔状部を有する円筒体に形成され、ヒートパイプ14の上端部が円筒内に挿入され、側面からネジにより固定される。なお、本実施形態において、支持部材15は、ヒートパイプ14と同様に銅で構成した。   Further, the heat conducting member 14 in the present embodiment is constituted by a thin and long heat pipe instead of the columnar aluminum. The heat pipe 14 is made of a copper pipe, and substitutes chlorofluorocarbon as a working fluid. And the upper end part of the heat pipe 14 is fixed to the connecting member 30, and the lower end part is fixed to the support member 15 that also serves as a heat dissipator, as in the first embodiment. The connecting member 30 is made of copper like the heat pipe 14 and is formed in a cylindrical body having a bowl-shaped portion at the upper end, and the upper end of the heat pipe 14 is inserted into the cylinder and fixed from the side by screws. . In the present embodiment, the support member 15 is made of copper like the heat pipe 14.

上記に構成されたヒートパイプ14は、連結部材30の鍔状部の頂面を、基板11の他面側(裏面側)の略中央部に熱伝導性を有する白色のシリコーンジェルからなるシート31を介し、さらに固定部材32によって基板11の他面側に密着させて固定する。   The heat pipe 14 configured as described above is a sheet 31 made of a white silicone gel having thermal conductivity at the substantially central portion on the other surface side (back surface side) of the substrate 11 on the top surface of the hook-shaped portion of the connecting member 30. Further, the fixing member 32 is closely attached to the other surface side of the substrate 11 and fixed.

固定部材32は、アクリル等の透明な合成樹脂で構成され、一端が連結部材30の外周面に固着され、他端が鉤状をなして先端に係合爪32aを一体に形成した一対の弾性を有する支持脚32bからなる。そして、一対の支持脚32bを基板11の両側縁部に対向させ、支持脚の弾性を利用して係合爪32aを基板11の一面側(表面側)係合させ、連結部材30の頂面を基板11の他面側(裏面側)にシリコーンジェルからなるシート31を介し押付けて固定する。これにより、連結部材30の頂面およびヒートパイプ14の上端面が、支持脚32bの弾性力によって基板11の他面側に密着して固定される。同時にシリコーンジェルからなるシート31は、熱伝導性を有し、かつ柔軟性を有することから熱的にも、より一層密着して固定される。同時に、柔軟性を有して固定されることから電球の落下等の衝撃に対してもシリコーンジェルからなるシート31が衝撃力を吸収し強固な電球を構成することが可能になる。上記構成により、LED12から発生する熱は、ヒートパイプ14の上部から下部の支持部材15に伝達され、外部に効果的に放熱させることが可能になる。   The fixing member 32 is made of a transparent synthetic resin such as acrylic, one end is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member 30, and the other end has a hook shape, and a pair of elastic claws 32a are integrally formed at the tip. It consists of the support leg 32b which has. Then, the pair of support legs 32 b are opposed to both side edges of the substrate 11, and the engaging claws 32 a are engaged with one surface side (front surface side) of the substrate 11 using the elasticity of the support legs, and the top surface of the connecting member 30. Is fixed to the other surface side (back surface side) of the substrate 11 through a sheet 31 made of silicone gel. Thereby, the top surface of the connecting member 30 and the upper end surface of the heat pipe 14 are fixed in close contact with the other surface side of the substrate 11 by the elastic force of the support legs 32b. At the same time, the sheet 31 made of silicone gel has thermal conductivity and is flexible, so that it is fixed more closely and thermally. At the same time, since it is fixed with flexibility, the sheet 31 made of silicone gel absorbs the impact force against an impact such as a drop of the bulb, and a strong bulb can be constructed. With the above configuration, the heat generated from the LED 12 is transmitted from the upper part of the heat pipe 14 to the lower support member 15 and can be effectively radiated to the outside.

上記に構成された発光装置10は、図6に示すように、実施形態1と同様に支持部材15が口金部材21のシェル部21aに固着されて支持されて、一般照明用の白熱電球に代替可能な電球形の口金付ランプ20が構成される。   As shown in FIG. 6, the light emitting device 10 configured as described above is replaced with an incandescent light bulb for general illumination, with the support member 15 fixed and supported on the shell portion 21 a of the base member 21 as in the first embodiment. A possible bulb-shaped lamp 20 with a base is constructed.

次に、上記に構成された口金付ランプに電源を供給し点灯させると、青色LEDチップの発光層12bから一面側に向かって光aが放射される。この光aは略正方形の面状をなす発光部Aにおける上側蛍光体層11cの黄色蛍光体を介して白色の光となり、上側カバー部22aの内面に向かって放射されて透過し頂部の前面側を主として照射する。   Next, when power is supplied to the lamp with the cap configured as described above to light it, light a is emitted from the light emitting layer 12b of the blue LED chip toward one side. The light a becomes white light through the yellow phosphor of the upper phosphor layer 11c in the light emitting part A having a substantially square surface, and is emitted and transmitted toward the inner surface of the upper cover part 22a. Is mainly irradiated.

また、青色LEDチップにおける発光層12bから、チップの他面側の透光性サファイア素子基板12aを透過して放射される光b(図6中下方に向かう光)は、透光性アルミナからなる基板11を透過し、下側蛍光体層11c1の黄色蛍光体を介して、上方に向かう光aと同様に白色の光となり、下側カバー部22bの内面に向かって放射されて透過し、側面周囲を主として照射する。これにより上方に向かう光aと下方に向かう光bの色むらを解消することが可能になる。なお、色むらを解消する手段としては、基板11の他面側(裏面側)に対し、一面側(表面側)と同様に、黄色蛍光体および青色LEDチップを実装して、白色の光を他面側に放射させるようにしてもよい。   Further, light b (light traveling downward in FIG. 6) emitted from the light emitting layer 12b of the blue LED chip through the translucent sapphire element substrate 12a on the other surface side of the chip is made of translucent alumina. Through the yellow phosphor of the lower phosphor layer 11c1, the white light is transmitted through the substrate 11 and is emitted to the inner surface of the lower cover portion 22b. The surrounding area is mainly irradiated. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the uneven color of the light a going upward and the light b going downward. In addition, as means for eliminating the color unevenness, a yellow phosphor and a blue LED chip are mounted on the other surface side (back surface side) of the substrate 11 in the same manner as the one surface side (front surface side), and white light is emitted. You may make it radiate | emit to the other surface side.

これにより、一般照明用の白熱電球と同様に、頂部の前面側から側面周囲にわたって略全体が白色に均等に光るように配光角を広くした背面発光も行うことが可能になり、一般照明用の白熱電球と同様の所望の配光特性を有する照明を行うことができる。なお、本実施形態においては、実施形態1における導光体13を省略し、より小径のヒートパイプ14を用いたことにより、基板11の他面側の発光部をヒートパイプの上端部によって遮蔽する部分を少なくすることが可能になり、実施形態1に比較し、光の取り出し効率を向上させることができるとともに、配光角より広くすることが可能になった。   This makes it possible to perform backside light emission with a wide light distribution angle so that almost the whole light shines uniformly in white from the front side of the top to the periphery of the side surface, similar to incandescent bulbs for general lighting. Illumination having a desired light distribution characteristic similar to the incandescent light bulb can be performed. In the present embodiment, the light guide 13 in the first embodiment is omitted, and the light pipe on the other surface side of the substrate 11 is shielded by the upper end of the heat pipe by using the smaller diameter heat pipe 14. As a result, the number of portions can be reduced, and the light extraction efficiency can be improved and the light distribution angle can be made wider than that of the first embodiment.

同時に、口金付ランプ20が点灯されると、LED12の温度が上昇し熱が発生する。その熱は、熱伝導率の高い透光性アルミナ製の基板11から、放熱性能の高いヒートパイプ14に伝達され、さらにヒートパイプの下端部が固着された銅製の支持部材15に伝達され、さらに熱伝導性の良好な銅板からなる口金部材21に伝達されることにより効果的な放熱が行われる。この放熱作用は、放熱性能の高いヒートパイプ14を用いることによって、実施形態1よりも一層効果的な放熱が行われ、LED12における発光効率の低下を、より一層抑制することが可能になる。   At the same time, when the lamp with cap 20 is turned on, the temperature of the LED 12 rises and heat is generated. The heat is transmitted from the translucent alumina substrate 11 having a high thermal conductivity to the heat pipe 14 having a high heat dissipation performance, and further to the copper support member 15 to which the lower end of the heat pipe is fixed, Effective heat dissipation is performed by being transmitted to the base member 21 made of a copper plate having good thermal conductivity. By using the heat pipe 14 having a high heat dissipation performance, this heat dissipation action allows more effective heat dissipation than in the first embodiment, and further suppresses the decrease in the light emission efficiency of the LED 12.

上記作用によって、高純度で熱伝導率が高い透光性セラミックスを用いて基板を構成することにより、発光効率を一層向上させ、かつ所望の広い配光を得ることが可能な発光装置および光源体を構成することが可能になる。なお、本実施形態におけるその他の構成、組み立て手順、作動、作用効果、変形例等は、実施形態1と同様である。   By the above action, a light emitting device and a light source body capable of further improving the light emission efficiency and obtaining a desired wide light distribution by constructing the substrate using a translucent ceramic having high purity and high thermal conductivity.

実施形態5Embodiment 5

本実施形態の発光装置は、実施形態2の上側蛍光体層11cと下側蛍光体層11c1を配設した発光装置10において、熱伝導率が230w/mKの透光性窒化アルミからなる基板11を用いて構成したものである。本実施形態によれば、実施形態2と同様に、発光効率を一層向上させ、かつ所望の広い配光を得ることが可能な発光装置および光源体を構成することが可能になる。特に、透光性窒化アルミは熱伝導率が高いことから、LEDで発生する熱をヒートパイプに効果的に伝達しヒートパイプの良好な放熱作用と相まって、より一層効果的な放熱が行うことがでる。   The light emitting device of the present embodiment is a light emitting device 10 in which the upper phosphor layer 11c and the lower phosphor layer 11c1 of the second embodiment are disposed, and a substrate 11 made of translucent aluminum nitride having a thermal conductivity of 230 w / mK. It is comprised using. According to the present embodiment, similarly to the second embodiment, it is possible to configure a light emitting device and a light source body that can further improve the light emission efficiency and obtain a desired wide light distribution. In particular, translucent aluminum nitride has a high thermal conductivity, so that heat generated by the LED can be effectively transferred to the heat pipe, and combined with the good heat dissipation of the heat pipe, more effective heat dissipation can be performed. Out.

なお、本実施形態におけるその他の構成、組み立て手順、作動、作用効果、変形例等は、実施形態1〜4と同様であり、本実施形態においても実施形態1〜4と同様の光源体である口金付ランプ20を構成することができる。   In addition, the other structure in this embodiment, an assembly procedure, an action | operation, an effect, a modification, etc. are the same as that of Embodiment 1-4, and also in this embodiment, it is a light source body similar to Embodiment 1-4. The cap-attached lamp 20 can be configured.

次に、上述した実施形態1、2、3の各発光装置10における配光角と光の取り出し効率を確認するための実験を行った。この実験は、セラミックスの材質とその特性、導光方式に注目し、上述した各実施形態における様々なサンプルで試作を行い、放熱性、全光束、配光角を比較した。   Next, an experiment for confirming the light distribution angle and the light extraction efficiency in each of the light-emitting devices 10 of Embodiments 1, 2, and 3 described above was performed. This experiment paid attention to the material of ceramics, its characteristics, and the light guide method, made various samples in the above-described embodiments, and compared heat dissipation, total luminous flux, and light distribution angle.

基板は、規定サイズに切断したリジット基板を用い、その上に配線層を、金属ペーストをスクリーン印刷し焼成によって固着し、基板上に1個または複数個のLEDチップをボンディングした。ワイヤーは25ミクロンの金線を用い、バンク形成後に蛍光体含有樹脂を流し入れて硬化させた。   As the substrate, a rigid substrate cut to a specified size was used, and a wiring layer was fixed thereon by screen printing a metal paste and firing, and one or more LED chips were bonded on the substrate. A 25-micron gold wire was used as the wire, and after forming the bank, a phosphor-containing resin was poured and cured.

実験では、比較のために実施形態1の上側蛍光体層11cのみを配設した構成で、基板11として一般的な純度96%、熱伝導率23w/mKのアルミナを用いた発光装置を構成し、これを実験例1とした。点灯条件は、1チップ当たり定格電流:20mA、定格電圧:3.1Vである。   In the experiment, for comparison, only the upper phosphor layer 11c of the first embodiment was arranged, and a light emitting device using a general alumina of 96% purity and thermal conductivity of 23 w / mK as the substrate 11 was constructed. This was designated as Experimental Example 1. The lighting conditions are rated current per chip: 20 mA and rated voltage: 3.1V.

上記条件により、[実験例1][実施形態1][実施形態2][実施形態3]の各例における配光角および光の取り出し効率を比較した。その結果が表1である。なお、配光角は、明るさのMAXを100%としたとき、明るさが50%になったときの角度である(図3、図6参照)。光の取り出し効率は、明るさが50%になったときの照度を比較し、[実験例1]の効率を100%とした場合における各実施形態1、2、3の値である。   Under the above conditions, the light distribution angle and the light extraction efficiency in each example of [Experiment 1] [Embodiment 1] [Embodiment 2] [Embodiment 3] were compared. The results are shown in Table 1. The light distribution angle is an angle when the brightness reaches 50% when the brightness MAX is 100% (see FIGS. 3 and 6). The light extraction efficiency is the value of each of the first, second, and third embodiments when the illuminance when the brightness reaches 50% is compared and the efficiency of [Experimental example 1] is 100%.

Figure 2014017262
Figure 2014017262

表1に示すように、基板の純度が96%を越えれば、換言すれば、純度が97%以上であれば、配光角を260°〜300°程度に広くすることが可能であることが実証された。また、熱伝導率が23w/mKを越えれば、換言すれば、25w/mK以上の透光性アルミナであれば、LEDで発生する熱をアルミニウムからなる熱伝導部材またはヒートパイプに効果的に伝達し、効果的な放熱が行うことができ、発光効率の低下が抑制されて光の取り出し効率を改善できることが実証された。特に、透光性アルミナの場合には、光の透過率が高く光の取り出し効率が一層優れていることが判明した。なお、実験の結果、透光性アルミナは純度が上がった関係で、表面はより円滑となったが、チップボンディング性には悪影響は与えないなど製造上の問題点はなかった。   As shown in Table 1, if the purity of the substrate exceeds 96%, in other words, if the purity is 97% or more, the light distribution angle can be widened to about 260 ° to 300 °. Proven. If the thermal conductivity exceeds 23 w / mK, in other words, if the translucent alumina is 25 w / mK or more, the heat generated by the LED is effectively transferred to the heat conducting member or heat pipe made of aluminum. Thus, it was demonstrated that effective heat dissipation can be performed, and a decrease in light emission efficiency is suppressed to improve light extraction efficiency. In particular, in the case of translucent alumina, it has been found that the light transmittance is high and the light extraction efficiency is further improved. As a result of the experiment, the surface of the translucent alumina became smoother due to the increased purity, but there was no problem in manufacturing such as no adverse effect on the chip bonding property.

次に、上述した実施形態4、5の各発光装置10における配光角と光の取り出し効率を確認するために表1で示す実験と同様の実験を行った。実験では、比較のために実施形態1の上側蛍光体層11cのみを配設した構成で、基板11として一般的な熱伝導率170w/mKの窒化アルミを用いた発光装置を構成し、これを実験例1とした。その結果が表2である。   Next, an experiment similar to the experiment shown in Table 1 was performed in order to confirm the light distribution angle and the light extraction efficiency in each of the light emitting devices 10 of Embodiments 4 and 5 described above. In the experiment, a light-emitting device using a general aluminum nitride having a thermal conductivity of 170 w / mK as the substrate 11 was configured as a substrate 11 with only the upper phosphor layer 11c of the first embodiment disposed for comparison. It was set as Experimental example 1. The results are shown in Table 2.

Figure 2014017262
Figure 2014017262

表2に示すように、透光性窒化アルミであれば、配光角を260°〜300°程度に広くすることが可能であることが実証された。また、実施形態4、5の発光装置は、熱伝導率が230w/mKで高く、LEDで発生する熱をアルミニウムからなる熱伝導部材またはヒートパイプに効果的に伝達し、効果的な放熱が行うことができ、発光効率の低下が抑制されて光の取り出し効率を改善できることが実証された。   As shown in Table 2, it was demonstrated that the light distribution angle can be widened to about 260 ° to 300 ° with translucent aluminum nitride. In addition, the light emitting devices of Embodiments 4 and 5 have a high thermal conductivity of 230 w / mK, and effectively transmit the heat generated by the LED to a heat conductive member or heat pipe made of aluminum to perform effective heat dissipation. It was proved that the light extraction efficiency can be improved by suppressing the decrease in light emission efficiency.

次に、上記各実施形態で構成された光源体である電球形の口金付ランプ20を光源とした照明器具の構成を説明する。図7に示すように、40は店舗等の天井面Xに埋め込み設置され、E26形の口金を有する一般照明用の白熱電球を光源としたダウンライト式の既存の照明器具で、下面に開口部41aを有する金属製の箱状をなした器具本体41と、開口部に嵌合される金属製の反射体42と、一般照明用の白熱電球のE26形の口金をねじ込むことが可能なソケット43で構成されている。反射体42は、例えばステンレス等の金属板で構成し、反射体42の上面板の中央部にソケット43が設置される。   Next, the structure of the lighting fixture which used the light bulb-shaped lamp | ramp 20 with a cap which is a light source body comprised by said each embodiment as a light source is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 7, reference numeral 40 denotes an existing downlight type lighting fixture that is embedded in a ceiling surface X of a store or the like and uses an incandescent bulb for general lighting having an E26-type base as a light source. A metal box-like instrument body 41 having 41a, a metal reflector 42 fitted into the opening, and a socket 43 into which an E26-type base of an incandescent light bulb for general illumination can be screwed. It consists of The reflector 42 is made of, for example, a metal plate such as stainless steel, and a socket 43 is installed at the center of the upper surface plate of the reflector 42.

上記に構成された白熱電球用の既存の照明器具40において、省エネや長寿命化などのために白熱電球に替えて、上述したLEDを光源とする電球形の口金付ランプ20を装着する。すなわち、電球形の口金付ランプは、口金部材21をE26形に構成してあるので、上記照明器具40の白熱電球用のソケット43にそのまま差し込むことができる。   In the existing lighting fixture 40 for an incandescent lamp configured as described above, a bulb-shaped lamp 20 with a cap using an LED as a light source is mounted in place of the incandescent lamp for energy saving or long life. That is, in the bulb-shaped lamp with the cap, since the cap member 21 is formed in the E26 shape, it can be inserted into the incandescent bulb socket 43 of the lighting fixture 40 as it is.

また、口金付ランプ20は、外観が一般白熱電球におけるネック部のシルエットと同様の形状に構成されているので、ネック部がソケット周辺の反射体42等に当たることなくスムーズに差し込むことができ、電球形の口金付ランプ20における既存照明器具への適合率が向上し、すべての白熱電球用の既存照明器具への装着が可能になる。これにより、既存のダウンライトを、LEDを光源とした電球形の口金付ランプ20が設置された省エネ形のダウンライトに簡単に変えることができる。勿論、既存器具のみでなく、新規構成の照明器具も同様にして構成することができる。   Further, since the lamp 20 with the cap is configured in the same shape as the silhouette of the neck portion of a general incandescent bulb, the neck portion can be smoothly inserted without hitting the reflector 42 around the socket. The fitting rate of the shaped lamp 20 with the cap to the existing lighting fixture is improved, and it becomes possible to attach the existing lighting fixture for all incandescent lamps. Thereby, the existing downlight can be easily changed to an energy saving downlight in which the bulb-shaped lamp 20 with the bulb as a light source is installed. Of course, not only existing fixtures but also newly constructed lighting fixtures can be similarly constructed.

次に、口金付ランプ20を光源としたダウンライト40の作動につき説明する。上記に構成されたダウンライトに電源を投入すると、ソケット43から口金付ランプ20に対し、口金部材21を介して商用電源が供給され、点灯装置23が動作して3.1Vの直流電圧が出力される。この直流電圧は点灯装置23からLED12に印加され、定電流の直流電流が供給されて全てのLEDが同時に点灯して白色の光が放射される。   Next, the operation of the downlight 40 using the lamp with cap 20 as a light source will be described. When power is applied to the downlight configured as described above, commercial power is supplied from the socket 43 to the lamp with cap 20 via the cap member 21, and the lighting device 23 operates to output a DC voltage of 3.1V. Is done. This DC voltage is applied to the LED 12 from the lighting device 23, and a constant DC current is supplied so that all the LEDs are turned on simultaneously and white light is emitted.

各LED12から放射された白色の光は、上述したようにカバー部材22の全面にわたって略均等に放射され電球の側面から背面側に光が回り込み、電球の側面から背面側にかけて光量が減少することない。これは、一般照明用の白熱電球と同様の配光特性を得ることができることで、照明器具40内に配置されたソケット43近傍の反射体42への光の照射量が増大し、一般照明用の白熱電球用として構成された反射体42の光学設計通りの器具特性を得ることが可能となり、一般照明用の白熱電球と同様の配光特性をもった照明を行うことができる。   As described above, the white light emitted from each LED 12 is radiated substantially evenly over the entire surface of the cover member 22 so that the light circulates from the side surface of the bulb to the back side, and the amount of light does not decrease from the side surface of the bulb to the back side. . This is because light distribution characteristics similar to incandescent light bulbs for general lighting can be obtained, so that the amount of light irradiated to the reflector 42 in the vicinity of the socket 43 disposed in the lighting fixture 40 increases, and for general lighting. It is possible to obtain the fixture characteristics as the optical design of the reflector 42 configured for the incandescent light bulb, and it is possible to perform illumination having the same light distribution characteristics as the incandescent light bulb for general illumination.

同時に、口金付ランプ20が点灯されると、LED12の温度が上昇し熱が発生するが、上述のよう熱伝導性の良好な透光性セラミックスからなる基板11およびアルミニウム製の熱伝導部材やヒートパイプによって効果的に放熱され、LEDの発光効率の低下を抑制することができ、長期にわたり明るさが低下することなく、さらに電子部品の信頼性も高めることができ、長寿命の照明器具を提供することが可能となる。   At the same time, when the lamp with cap 20 is turned on, the temperature of the LED 12 rises and heat is generated. However, as described above, the substrate 11 made of a light-transmitting ceramic with good thermal conductivity and the heat conduction member made of aluminum or heat Effectively dissipated by the pipe, can suppress the decrease in the luminous efficiency of the LED, and can improve the reliability of electronic components without lowering the brightness over a long period of time, providing a long-life lighting fixture It becomes possible to do.

上記の各実施形態において、発光装置10は、以下のように構成してもよい。先ず、LED12から放射される光を、基板11の一面側(表面側)および他面側(裏面側)に放射するように構成したが、光源体や照明器具の構成、用途等により、他面側のみに光を放射させるものであってもよく、要は、基板の少なくとも他面側に透光性セラミックスを介して光を放射する発光素子を具備するものであればよい。この場合、蛍光体層は、下側蛍光体層11c1のみを配設すればよく、基板11は、少なくとも他面側に蛍光体層を配設したものであればよい。   In each of the above embodiments, the light emitting device 10 may be configured as follows. First, the light emitted from the LED 12 is configured to radiate to one surface side (front surface side) and the other surface side (back surface side) of the substrate 11. The light may be emitted only to the side, and the point is that the light-emitting element that emits light via the translucent ceramic is provided on at least the other surface side of the substrate. In this case, the phosphor layer only needs to be provided with the lower phosphor layer 11c1, and the substrate 11 only needs to have the phosphor layer provided at least on the other surface side.

また、蛍光体層は、図8に示すように、基板11の一面側と他面側を結ぶ側面部11fの一部または全体に配設した側部蛍光体層11c2を形成するようにしてもよい。この構成によれば、基板11内を透過する光が、例えば、黄色蛍光体層によって白色に変換され、一面側から放射される光と、他面側から放射される光の境目に暗部が形成されることが防止され、一面側から他面側にわたって均一に連続した光を放射することができ、例えば、口金付ランプのカバー部材全体をより均一に光らせることができ、一般照明用の白熱電球と同様の配光特性をもった口金付ランプを構成することが可能になる。これは、カバー部材22を上下に分割した分割線y−yに対して光を放射させることも可能になり、分割線を目立たなくすることもでき、ランプの商品性を向上させことも可能になる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the phosphor layer may form a side phosphor layer 11c2 disposed on a part or the whole of the side surface portion 11f connecting the one surface side and the other surface side of the substrate 11. Good. According to this configuration, the light transmitted through the substrate 11 is converted to white by, for example, the yellow phosphor layer, and a dark portion is formed at the boundary between the light emitted from the one surface side and the light emitted from the other surface side. Incandescent light can be emitted uniformly from the one surface side to the other surface side, and for example, the entire cover member of the cap-equipped lamp can be illuminated more uniformly. It becomes possible to construct a lamp with a base having the same light distribution characteristics as the above. This makes it possible to radiate light to the dividing line yy obtained by dividing the cover member 22 in the vertical direction, so that the dividing line can be made inconspicuous, and the merchantability of the lamp can be improved. Become.

なお、側部蛍光体層11c2は、図8(b)に示すように、側面部に対して盛り上がるように形成することによって、一層効果的に光を放射させることができる。蛍光体層の盛り上げ形成は、例えば、液状の蛍光体に対して基板の側面部をディッピング(浸漬)させることによって容易に形成することができる。   In addition, as shown in FIG.8 (b), the side part fluorescent substance layer 11c2 can radiate | emit light more effectively by forming so that it may swell with respect to a side part. The raised formation of the phosphor layer can be easily formed, for example, by dipping (immersing) the side surface portion of the substrate with respect to the liquid phosphor.

また、一面側から放射される光と、他面側から放射される光の境目に暗部が形成されることを防止するために、図9(a)に示すように、基板11の側面部の周囲に光を拡散させるための拡散リング50を配設してもよい。拡散リングは、ポリカーボネイト、シリコーン、アクリル等の透明な合成樹脂に白色のリング状をなす縞模様50aを形成して光を拡散させるようにしてもよい。さらに、乳白色のPC樹脂で構成して光を拡散させてもよい。さらには、口金付ランプ等の光源体に用いる場合には、図9(b)に示すように、カバー部材の内面または外面若しくは内外面を白色に塗装したり、サンドブラスト等によって拡散処理sを施すように構成してもよい。   Further, in order to prevent a dark portion from being formed at the boundary between the light emitted from the one surface side and the light emitted from the other surface side, as shown in FIG. A diffusion ring 50 for diffusing light around may be provided. The diffusing ring may be configured to diffuse light by forming a white ring-shaped striped pattern 50a on a transparent synthetic resin such as polycarbonate, silicone, or acrylic. Further, it may be made of milky white PC resin to diffuse light. Furthermore, when used for a light source body such as a lamp with a cap, as shown in FIG. 9B, the inner surface or the outer surface or inner / outer surface of the cover member is painted white, or diffusion treatment s is performed by sandblasting or the like. You may comprise as follows.

また、図10(a)に示すように、ヒートパイプ14は、連結部材30をパイプに一体に形成するようにしてもよい。これによって、ヒートパイプ14と基板11他面側との接触面積を大となすとともに、別体の連結部材を省略することが可能になりコスト的に有利な発光装置を提供することが可能になる。   Moreover, as shown to Fig.10 (a), you may make it the heat pipe 14 form the connection member 30 integrally with a pipe. Accordingly, the contact area between the heat pipe 14 and the other surface side of the substrate 11 can be increased, and a separate connecting member can be omitted, so that a light-emitting device that is advantageous in terms of cost can be provided. .

また、本実施形態の発光装置を口金付ランプ等の光源体に用いる場合、基板11の他面側(裏面側)が熱伝導体やヒートパイプによって一部が塞がれるために、裏面側、すなわち、下方に向かう光の量が不足気味となりカバー部材22の下側が暗くなる問題が生じやすくなる。これを解消するため分割したカバー部材22の上側カバー部22aにおける光拡散剤の含有量を、下側カバー部22bの光拡散剤の含有量より多くすることによって、上側カバー部の光透過率が下側カバー部の光透過率より低くなるように構成してもよい。これにより、カバー部材22の全面にわたって略均等に放射されて電球の全面が略均等に光り、一般照明用の白熱電球と同様の配光特性を得ることが可能になる。   Moreover, when using the light-emitting device of this embodiment for light source bodies, such as a lamp | cap | die with a nozzle | cap | die, since the other surface side (back surface side) of the board | substrate 11 is partially plugged with a heat conductor or a heat pipe, In other words, the amount of light traveling downward tends to be insufficient and the lower side of the cover member 22 tends to darken. In order to solve this problem, the light transmittance of the upper cover portion is increased by making the content of the light diffusing agent in the upper cover portion 22a of the divided cover member 22 larger than the content of the light diffusing agent in the lower cover portion 22b. You may comprise so that it may become lower than the light transmittance of a lower cover part. As a result, the entire surface of the cover member 22 is radiated substantially evenly, so that the entire surface of the light bulb shines substantially evenly, and light distribution characteristics similar to those of an incandescent light bulb for general illumination can be obtained.

また、図10(b)に示すように、熱伝導部材やヒートパイプの下端に設けた放熱体を兼ねる支持部材15は、口金部材21のシェル部21aの内面にねじ込んで固定するようにしてもよい。これにより、放熱体である支持部材15と口金部材21との接触面積を増大させてより効果的な放熱作用を行わせることができる。同時に機械的にも一層強固に発光装置を支持することが可能になる。さらに、口金部材21は、熱伝導部材またはヒートパイプに一体に形成してもよい。図11(a)に示すように、例えば、銅パイプからなるヒートパイプの下端にGX53形の口金部材21を一体に形成し、電気的な接続機能を熱伝導部材やヒートパイプで兼用させるように構成してもよい。また、カバー部材22は、光軸x−xに直交する分割線y−y横方向で分割したが、光軸x−xに沿って縦方向に分割してもよい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, the support member 15 also serving as a heat radiator provided at the lower end of the heat conducting member or the heat pipe may be screwed and fixed to the inner surface of the shell portion 21a of the base member 21. Good. Thereby, the contact area of the support member 15 which is a heat radiator and the base member 21 can be increased, and a more effective heat radiation action can be performed. At the same time, the light emitting device can be supported more firmly mechanically. Further, the base member 21 may be formed integrally with the heat conducting member or the heat pipe. As shown in FIG. 11 (a), for example, a base member 21 of GX53 type is integrally formed at the lower end of a heat pipe made of a copper pipe, and the electrical connection function is shared by the heat conducting member and the heat pipe. It may be configured. Further, the cover member 22 is divided in the horizontal direction of the dividing line yy orthogonal to the optical axis xx, but may be divided in the vertical direction along the optical axis xx.

また、口金付ランプに用いた発光装置は、光軸x−xをランプ軸となすように水平方向に配置したが、例えば、HIDランプ等の光源体に用いる場合には、図11(b)に示すように、光軸x−xをランプ軸z−zと直交する方向、換言すれば、発光装置を鉛直方向に配置して左右に発光面を構成するようにしてもよい。   The light emitting device used for the lamp with the cap is arranged in the horizontal direction so that the optical axis xx becomes the lamp axis. For example, when used for a light source body such as an HID lamp, FIG. As shown in the figure, the light axis may be arranged on the left and right by arranging the light emitting device in the direction perpendicular to the lamp axis zz, in other words, in the vertical direction.

なお、上記の図8(a)(b)、図9(a)(b)、図10(a)、図11(a)(b)の各変形例において、ヒートパイプと基板を固定するための固定手段を設けていないが、図4に示す固定手段32を設け、より強固に固定するようにしてもよい。   In addition, in order to fix a heat pipe and a board | substrate in each modification of said FIG. 8 (a) (b), FIG. 9 (a) (b), FIG. 10 (a), and FIG. 11 (a) (b).
