  A light-emitting device for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing an example of a light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line II ′ of the light emitting device shown in FIG.
The light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a base body 11 having a conductive portion 12, a light emitting element 14, a phosphor layer 16, and a reflecting member 17.

  The base 11 has an insulating base material (ceramic or the like) and a conductive portion 12 that is a wiring for feeding power to the light emitting element, and has a flat surface on which a light emitting element or the like can be placed. It is a member.

  The light emitting element 14 is mounted on a base. In the light-emitting element 14, a semiconductor layer 14b including a light-emitting layer is formed on one main surface of a light-transmitting substrate 14a having a pair of opposing main surfaces, and a positive electrode and a negative electrode ( Hereinafter, the electrode 14c is also formed. In the light emitting device of the present embodiment, the light emitting element 14 is arranged with the side of the substrate 14a facing the electrode forming surface as a main light extraction surface (flip chip mounting). The electrode 14 c of the light emitting element is connected to the conductive portion 12 formed on the base 11 via the bonding member 13.

  A phosphor layer 16 is provided on the upper surface of the light emitting element. A reflecting member 17 is provided on the phosphor layer so that a part of the phosphor layer is exposed. In other words, the reflecting member 17 is provided so as to partially cover the entire surface of the phosphor layer rather than covering the entire surface.

  In a light emitting device that obtains white light by mixing light from a light emitting element and light from a phosphor, a part of the light from the light emitting element is extracted to the outside as it is, that is, light that is not wavelength-converted. Need to be. Therefore, by providing a region (exposed region) where no reflecting member is provided on the upper surface of the phosphor layer, it can be easily taken out without being returned to the phosphor layer.

Moreover, the light from a light emitting element also needs the light for exciting a fluorescent substance. Even when a reflecting member is not provided on the phosphor layer, a part of the light from the light emitting element is used as light for exciting the phosphor. Here, as shown in the embodiment of the present application, by partially providing a reflecting member on the phosphor layer, the light can be returned into the phosphor layer, and the return light is newly converted into the phosphor. Can be used as light to excite. That is, if there is no reflecting member on the phosphor layer, the light emitted to the outside as blue light is used as light for exciting the phosphor by having the reflecting member. Thereby, even if it reduces the quantity of fluorescent substance, the wavelength-converted light can be taken out efficiently.
Hereinafter, each configuration of the light emitting device according to the present embodiment will be briefly described.

(Substrate)
The base is for arranging electronic components such as a light emitting element and a protective element. The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the upper surface (mounting surface of the light emitting element or the like) is flat. As a shape of a base | substrate, it can be set as the shape which has flat shape, such as a rectangle and a polygon, and a recessed part, for example.
As the base material of the base, an insulating material can be used. For example, ceramics such as alumina and aluminum nitride are preferably used, but this is not restrictive, and LTCC, glass epoxy resin, and thermoplastic resin are also possible. .
The conductive portion of the base is for supplying power to the light emitting element, and examples thereof include Cu, Ni, Ag, and Sn.

(Light emitting element)
The light emitting element is bonded to the base (on the conductive portion or the base material) via a bonding member or further via another member. As the light emitting element, a light emitting element having a pair of positive and negative electrodes on the same surface side or a vertical type light emitting element having electrodes on the upper and lower surfaces may be used.

  As the light-emitting element, a light-emitting diode that emits light in the visible light region is preferably used. For example, a multilayer structure including a light emitting layer is formed on a substrate by various semiconductors such as nitride semiconductors such as InN, AlN, GaN, InGaN, AlGaN, and InGaAlN, III-V compound semiconductors, III-VI compound semiconductors, and the like. What was formed is mentioned. Examples of the substrate of the light emitting element include an insulating substrate such as sapphire, a conductive substrate such as SiC, GaN, and GaAs. Note that the substrate of the light emitting element is not necessarily required, and may be removed after mounting on the base body or before mounting.

(Joining member)
A joining member is a member for joining a light emitting element on a base | substrate.

  First, the case of flip chip mounting and the case of using a vertical type light emitting element will be described. The joining member is disposed so as to be interposed at least between the electrode of the light emitting element and the conductive portion. As the bonding member, a conductive material capable of conducting the light emitting element and the conductive portion is used. For example, a solder material such as Sn—Cu, Sn—Ag—Cu, or Au—Sn, a metal bump such as Au, an anisotropic conductive paste, or the like can be used.

  Since the light emitting element is supported on the conductive portion by this bonding member, the lower surface of the semiconductor layer of the light emitting element and the upper surface of the base are formed from the thickness of the bonding member, the thickness of the electrode of the light emitting element, and the upper surface of the base. There are gaps spaced apart by a distance corresponding to the total thickness of the exposed conductive portions.

  The total sum of the thickness of the bonding member and the thickness of the electrode of the light emitting element is preferably 1 μm to 150 μm.

  In the case of face-up mounting, in addition to the use of the conductive material bonding member as described above, an insulating material can also be used. For example, an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, etc. are mentioned.

(Phosphor layer)
The phosphor layer converts light from the light emitting element into a different wavelength, and can convert light from the light emitting element into a shorter wavelength or one that converts into a longer wavelength. From the viewpoint of light extraction efficiency, a material that converts light from the light emitting element into a long wavelength is preferable. The phosphor layer is disposed at least on the upper surface of the light emitting element. The phosphor layer is preferably provided so as to cover 80% to 100% of the upper surface of the light emitting element, and particularly preferably covers the entire surface (100%).

Moreover, it may be provided so as to cover a surface other than the top surface of the light emitting element, and for example, the side surface of the light emitting element may be covered. Further, the phosphor layer may be provided in direct contact with the light emitting element, or may be indirectly covered through a light-transmitting separate member.
The phosphor layer can be formed with an arbitrary thickness, and its upper surface can be flat, convex, concave, or the like. In particular, a phosphor layer having a flat upper surface is preferable, and a phosphor layer having a substantially uniform thickness is more preferable. When the phosphor layer has a substantially uniform thickness, the thickness is preferably about 0.1 μm to 100 μm.

As the phosphor, those known in the art can be used. For example, yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) phosphors activated with cerium, lutetium-aluminum-garnet (LAG) activated with cerium, nitrogen-containing calcium aluminosilicate (CaO- activated with europium and / or chromium) Al ₂ O ₃ —SiO ₂ ) -based phosphor, nitride-based fluorescence such as europium-activated silicate ((Sr, Ba) ₂ SiO ₄ ) -based phosphor, β-sialon phosphor, CASN-based or SCASN-based phosphor Body, KSF phosphor (K ₂ SiF ₆ : Mn), sulfide phosphor and the like. Thereby, it can be set as the light-emitting device which radiate | emits the mixed color light (for example, white type | system | group) of the primary light and secondary light of visible wavelength. When the light emitting device is used for a backlight of a liquid crystal display or the like, a phosphor that is excited by blue light and emits red light (for example, KSF phosphor) and a phosphor that emits green light (for example, β sialon phosphor) are used. It is preferable. Thereby, the color reproduction range of the display using a light-emitting device can be expanded. When used for illumination or the like, an element emitting blue-green and a red phosphor can be used in combination.

  The phosphor preferably has, for example, a center particle diameter of 50 μm or less, 30 μm or less, and 10 μm or less. The central particle size can be measured and calculated by a commercially available particle measuring device or particle size distribution measuring device. In addition, said particle size is F.R. S. S. S. It refers to the particle size obtained by the air permeation method in No (Fisher Sub Sieve Sizer's No). In particular, when YAG or the like is used as the phosphor, a bulk body (for example, a plate-like body) obtained by uniformly dispersing and sintering these ultrafine particles is preferable. With such a configuration, voids and impurity layers can be reduced and high transparency can be secured as a single crystal structure and / or a polycrystalline structure.

The phosphor may be, for example, a so-called nanocrystal or a light emitting material called a quantum dot. Examples of these materials include semiconductor materials such as II-VI, III-V, and IV-VI semiconductors. Specifically, CdSe, core-shell CdS _x Se _1-x / ZnS, and GaP Examples include highly dispersed particles of size. Examples of such a phosphor include a particle size of about 1 nm to 20 nm (10 to 50 atoms). By using such a phosphor, internal scattering can be suppressed and the light transmittance can be further improved. By suppressing the internal scattering, the light distribution component of light in the direction perpendicular to the upper surface can be increased, and at the same time, the light traveling toward the side surface or the lower surface of the light emitting device can be suppressed. The extraction efficiency can be further improved. For example, when applied to a backlight, the light entrance efficiency to the backlight can be further increased.
Since the quantum dot phosphor is unstable, it may be surface-modified or stabilized with a resin such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). These may be a bulk body (for example, a plate-like body) formed by mixing with a transparent resin (for example, an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, etc.), or a plate-like body sealed with a transparent resin between glass plates. It may be.

(Reflective member)
The reflecting member is provided on the phosphor layer so that a part of the phosphor layer is exposed, and mainly reflects light from the light emitting element toward the phosphor layer. This reflected light (return light) can be used as excitation light for the phosphor. Therefore, it is preferable to provide it at a position close to the phosphor layer, and it is particularly preferable to provide it in contact with the phosphor layer. As a result, light from the phosphor layer can be efficiently reflected (returned) toward the phosphor layer, diffused in the phosphor layer and used as excitation light for the phosphor, and light extraction efficiency can be improved. Can be raised. When a layer including a reflecting member is formed on the phosphor layer by an electrodeposition method, it is used to coat the phosphor layer and the reflecting member (when the phosphor layer is formed by electrodeposition). Layer). As described above, the phosphor layer and the reflecting member are also in contact with each other even when an adhesive member necessary for fixing the reflecting member is interposed.

  The area of the reflecting member is preferably 1% to 90% of the area of the phosphor layer. Particularly preferably, it is 20% to 50%.

  The reflecting member may be disposed on the side surface (around) in addition to the upper surface of the light emitting element. In this case, when the phosphor layer is provided on the side surface of the light emitting element, it is preferable to provide the phosphor layer on the surface. Further, even when the phosphor layer is not provided on the side surface of the light emitting element, by providing the reflecting member, light from the light emitting element can be reflected back toward the inside of the light emitting element. In the case where the phosphor layer is not provided on the side surface of the light emitting element as described above, it is preferable to provide a reflecting member so as to cover the entire side surface of the light emitting element.

  The reflective member is preferably a material that can efficiently reflect the light emitted from the light emitting element or the light whose wavelength is converted by the phosphor layer, and more preferably a material that can reflect 90% or more. In addition, a material that does not easily transmit or absorb light emitted from the light emitting element or light converted in wavelength by the phosphor layer is preferable.

As a reflective material, light can be efficiently reflected by using a material having a high refractive index of 1.6 or more, for example, a powder of TiO ₂ , ZrO ₂ , BaSO ₄ , MgO, or the like. In addition, SiO ₂ and ZnO are also possible. These materials may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In particular, by using the reflecting member 17 having a high refractive index, light (for example, blue light) from the light emitting element can be diffused more efficiently, and extraction efficiency can be improved.

  Thus, by providing the reflecting member 17, the light from the light emitting element returns to the phosphor layer, so that a large amount of light from the phosphor excited by the returned light can be emitted to the outside. Thus, the extraction efficiency can be improved.

(Other parts)
Said light-emitting device may have another member further. For example, you may have the sealing member which covers the light emitting element, the fluorescent substance layer which covers the upper surface, and the reflection member provided on it. For example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the sealing member 20 covers a part of the upper surface of the substrate and covers the above members, thereby protecting them.

  The sealing member is preferably substantially free of a reflecting member, a filler, or the like, that is, a transparent member is preferable, and a member having light resistance and insulation is preferable. Preferred materials for the sealing member include silicone resin composition, modified silicone resin composition, epoxy resin composition, modified epoxy resin composition, acrylic resin composition, silicone resin, epoxy resin, urea resin, fluororesin, and these These resins can be formed of a resin such as a hybrid resin containing at least one kind of resin.

  In addition, the size of the sealing member is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the luminance, directivity, and the like of the light emitting device. Further, the upper surface of the sealing member can have a convex shape, a convex lens shape, a concave shape, a concave lens shape, a planar shape, or the like.

  In the case where the light emitting element is flip-chip mounted, a resin (underfill) can be interposed between the light emitting element and the substrate. Furthermore, this resin may be provided so as to cover the side surface of the light emitting element.

As described above, when the phosphor layer is also provided on the side surface of the light emitting element, a phosphor having the same composition or a different composition as the phosphor provided on the upper surface of the light emitting element can be used. Moreover, you may form simultaneously on an upper surface and a side surface, or you may provide in another process. Further, the formation method can be the same or different.

Thus, when providing a reflective member also on the side surface of a light emitting element, the same member as a reflective member provided in the upper surface of a light emitting element, or a different member can be used. Moreover, you may form simultaneously on an upper surface and a side surface, or you may provide in another process. Further, the formation method can be the same or different.

In the light emitting device of this modified example, mounting is performed with the semiconductor layer side of the light emitting element facing up (face-up mounting), and the electrode surface of the light emitting element is on the upper side, and the conductive portion of the substrate is electrically connected using the wire 19. I'm taking it. Even in such a case, the light extraction efficiency can be improved by providing the reflecting member so that the phosphor layer provided on the light emitting element is partially exposed.

Further, the sealing member may have a flat upper surface as shown in FIGS. 7 to 11, or may have a convex shape as shown in FIG. Further, the sealing member can be provided so as to reach the substrate.

(Method for manufacturing light emitting device)
Next, a method for manufacturing the light emitting device according to this embodiment will be described.

  6a to 6c are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating an example of a manufacturing process of the light emitting device according to this embodiment. Here, a case where the light-emitting element is flip-chip mounted will be described.

  First, the base body 11 having the conductive portion 12 is prepared, and the electrode 14 c of the light emitting element 14 is connected to the conductive portion 12 via the bonding member 13. As shown in FIG. 6 a, the light emitting element 14 is connected to the conductive portion 12 via the bonding member 13 so that the electrode 14 c of the light emitting element 14 faces the conductive portion 12. The method of connecting the conductive portion 12 of the substrate 11 and the light emitting element 14 can be appropriately selected according to the bonding member 13. For example, the connection is made using ultrasonic waves, heat, load, light, flux, or the like. Can do. When a solder material is used as the bonding member 13, the conductive portion 12 exposed around the light emitting element 14 has an effect of releasing excess solder material. That is, it is possible to bond with an appropriate amount of solder, reduce defects caused by excessive amount of solder, and achieve a stable bonding state.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6 b, a phosphor layer 16 is formed on the substrate 11 so as to cover the light emitting element 14. Methods for forming the phosphor layer 16 include 1) sputtering method, 2) vapor deposition method, 3) sedimentation method, 4) potting method, 5) printing method, 6) electrodeposition method, 7) electrostatic coating method, and 8). A spray method or the like can be used. Furthermore, 9) A method such as attaching another preformed member such as a phosphor plate or a phosphor sheet may be used. In such a case, the reflective member may be provided, or the reflective member may be provided after being provided so as to cover the light emitting element. By using these methods, the phosphor layer can be formed with a substantially uniform thickness at each site. In the case of 1), 2) and 3), the phosphor layer can be attached to the whole of the light emitting element 14 and the base 11 without a binder. 4) In the case of 5), the phosphor can be selectively attached by using the phosphor dispersed in the translucent member. 6) In the case of 7), the phosphor can be selectively attached by using a conductive material at the site where the phosphor is to be attached. In the case of 8), it is possible to selectively attach the phosphor by using the translucent member and the phosphor dispersed in the solvent. In the case of 9), the phosphor can be selectively attached to the site where the phosphor is to be attached.

  The step of forming the phosphor layer using the above-described 6) electrodeposition method will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6a to 6c. The phosphor layer 16 is, for example, a substrate 11 on which the light emitting element 14 is placed in a solution containing phosphor (electrodeposition bath solution), and phosphor particles are dispersed on the substrate 11 by electrophoresis in the solution. It is formed by depositing on the surfaces of the conductive portion 12 and the light emitting element 14.

  When the surface of the light emitting element is made of a conductive material, charged phosphor particles can be electrophoresed and deposited on the light emitting element by applying a voltage to the light emitting element itself. Further, when the surface of the light emitting element has a non-conductive portion like a light emitting device in which a semiconductor is stacked on an insulating substrate such as sapphire, the non-conductive portion of the light emitting element 14 as shown in FIG. A conductive coating layer 15 (for example, aluminum, zinc, ITO, etc.) is provided on the substrate, and then a voltage is applied to the coating layer 15 to cause the charged phosphor particles to undergo electrophoresis and through the coating layer 15. Can be deposited on the insulating substrate 14a. The thickness of the phosphor layer 16 can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the deposition conditions and time of the phosphor particles.

  Moreover, when such a coating layer consists of a member which does not permeate | transmit light like the above-mentioned aluminum and zinc, it is necessary to give a transparency process. Specifically, in the case of aluminum, a light-transmitting coating layer can be obtained by oxidizing to aluminum oxide, whereby light from the light-emitting element can be emitted to the outside. Such a transparency treatment can be easily performed by performing a steam treatment after the electrodeposition step.

  The reflection member 17 is formed so as to cover the phosphor layer 16. As a method for forming the reflecting member, the same method as that for the phosphor layer described above can be used. For example, when the reflecting member is formed by using the electrodeposition method, the light emitting device in the state where the phosphor layer is formed (manufactured product) is placed in the solution containing the reflecting material constituting the reflecting member 17, and the solution is placed in the solution. The reflecting member 17 can be formed on the upper surface of the phosphor layer 16 by electrophoresing the reflecting material charged in (1). Thus, when forming a reflective member by electrodeposition, the concentration of the reflective material in the solution, the current and time are adjusted in advance, and the amount of electrodeposition (attachment speed) on the object is examined. It is possible to control the adhesion amount of the reflecting member. Thereby, it is possible to easily cover the entire phosphor layer instead of covering the entire surface.

  The thickness of the reflecting member can also be adjusted as appropriate depending on the deposition conditions and time.

  Other methods for forming the reflecting member 17 include 1) sputtering method, 2) vapor deposition method, 3) sedimentation method, 4) potting method, 5) printing method, 7) electrostatic coating method, 8) spraying method and the like. The reflective member 17 can be formed selectively with respect to the surface of the phosphor layer 16. In addition, you may use a mask depending on the formation method of a reflection member. Moreover, it is preferable to use it with the adhesive agent for adhere | attaching a reflection member to a fluorescent substance layer. As the binder, resin, glass, or the like can be used.

  Examples according to the present invention will be described in detail below.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the light emitting device according to the present embodiment. The light emitting device includes a base body 11 having a conductive portion 12, a bonding member 13, a light emitting element 14, a coating layer 15, a phosphor layer 16, and a reflecting member 17.

  Alumina ceramics is used as the base material of the base 11, and Au is used as the conductive portion 12. A part of the conductive portion 12 is buried in the base 11, and W (tungsten), which is a metal having a higher melting point than Au, is used. The conductive portion 12 is also exposed on the back surface of the base 11. Thereby, it functions as a terminal for electrically connecting the light emitting element 14 and the external power source.

The light emitting element 14 is connected to the conductive portion 12 using an Au bump as the bonding member 13. As the light emitting element 14, a substrate in which a semiconductor layer 14 b is formed on a substrate 14 a made of insulating sapphire is used. The coating layer 15 having conductivity is made of Zn (zinc) so as to cover the substrate 14 a of the light emitting element 14. The phosphor layer 16 uses, for example, YAG phosphor particles (having a particle size of 5 μm), and is formed on the surface of the coating layer 15, the surface of the semiconductor layer 14 b of the light emitting element 14, and the conductive portion 12 around the light emitting element 14. Adhere.
Since the phosphor particles are formed by an electrodeposition method, the phosphor particles can be attached to the covering layer 15 and the semiconductor layer 14b of the light emitting element 14 with a substantially uniform thickness.

The reflecting member 17 is formed by adhering an average particle diameter of TiO ₂ of 0.26 μm only on the phosphor layer 16 by an electrodeposition method.

  Thereby, the extraction efficiency is improved.

  Not only the electrodeposition method but also the phosphor layer 16 and the reflection member 17 may be formed by the method described above.

  In this embodiment, it is possible to obtain a light emitting device with less light emission unevenness and better light extraction efficiency than the comparative example. Further, since the amount of extracted light increases, the amount of phosphor can be reduced, and the color can be aimed with a small amount of phosphor. It is also possible to change the color tone by changing the amount of the diffusing member.

  The light-emitting device of the present invention can be a light-emitting device capable of reducing light absorption and increasing output, and various display devices, lighting fixtures, displays, backlight light sources for liquid crystal displays, as well as facsimiles and copiers. It can be used for a wide range of applications such as an image reading device in a scanner, a projector device, and the like.
