Description

本発明は、光色を可変とする単一種類の、例えば発光ダイオード(LED:Lighting
Emitting Diode)などの半導体発光素子を用いた、発光装置およびこれを用いた照明装置に関する。
The present invention relates to a single kind of light emitting diode (LED: Lighting)
The present invention relates to a light emitting device using a semiconductor light emitting element such as an Emitting Diode) and a lighting device using the same.

これまで色光を可変とする発光装置は、複数の異なる光色の光源を用いそれぞれ調光する方法や、光源表面に装着した幾つかの色のカラーフィルタを切り替える手法により実現されている。さらに前者の方法において複数の発光管を用いる方法としては、RGB3色の蛍光管を調光し任意色光を得る照明器具や、特許文献1のように導光体と光色の異なる複数の発光管からなるバックライトにおいて、発光管の発光位置を制御し導光体表面の色光を変える方式が提案されている。   Conventionally, light emitting devices that make color light variable are realized by a method of dimming each of a plurality of light sources of different light colors and a method of switching color filters of several colors mounted on the surface of the light source. Furthermore, as a method of using a plurality of arc tubes in the former method, there are a lighting fixture for dimming RGB three-color fluorescent tubes to obtain arbitrary color light, and a plurality of arc tubes having light colors different from those of the light guide as in Patent Document 1. In a backlight comprising the above, a method has been proposed in which the light emission position of the arc tube is controlled to change the color light on the surface of the light guide.

また、LED光源を用いた例としては特許文献2に示すように、複数のLEDを用いそれぞれ調光して色光を変えるものがあった。   Moreover, as an example using an LED light source, as shown in Patent Document 2, there is one in which a plurality of LEDs are used to adjust light and change color light respectively.

特開2004−55563号(第7−8頁、図1)Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2004-55563 (page 7-8, FIG. 1) 特開2003−317516号(第4頁、図1)JP 2003-317516 A (page 4, FIG. 1)

しかしながら、前記の光色の異なる複数の蛍光管を用いる方法や、特許文献1の方法では光源ランプ及び高周波交流駆動回路(インバータ)などが高価であり、さらに発光管自体が発光のためある程度の管長を要するため発光装置としての小型化は困難であった。さらにRGB発光管それぞれ調光して任意光色を得る場合には、調光回路も必要になりさらに高価になる傾向を有している。   However, in the method using a plurality of fluorescent tubes having different light colors and the method of Patent Document 1, a light source lamp, a high-frequency AC drive circuit (inverter), etc. are expensive. Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the size of the light emitting device. Further, when an arbitrary light color is obtained by dimming each of the RGB arc tubes, a dimming circuit is also required and tends to be more expensive.

一方、特許文献2のような複数のLEDで構成される発光装置の場合は、ある程度の小型化には対応可能である。しかし、この方式においては複数のLEDの各々の順電圧が異なるのが一般的で、さらには順電流特性(順電流−光束)に合わせてLED光出力制御を行う必要があり、駆動回路系にコスト的負担が発生する欠点があった。さらに、各色LED発光特性の劣化度合いや温度などの周囲環境に対する特性の相違から、光色管理が要求されるアプリケーションではそれら色ずれを無くすための色補正回路が必要とされていた。   On the other hand, in the case of a light emitting device composed of a plurality of LEDs as in Patent Document 2, it is possible to cope with a certain size reduction. However, in this method, the forward voltage of each of the plurality of LEDs is generally different, and further, it is necessary to perform LED light output control in accordance with the forward current characteristics (forward current-light flux). There was a drawback that cost burden occurred. In addition, due to the difference in the characteristics of the LED emission characteristics of each color and the characteristics with respect to the surrounding environment such as temperature, a color correction circuit for eliminating such color misregistration is required in applications that require light color management.

本発明は、上記のような問題点を解決するためになされたもので、短波長光を発する単一種類の半導体光源と、回動または摺動可能な複数種類の波長変換部材により、簡単な構成で小型化及び低コスト並びに発光効率の高い光色可変の発光装置及びこれを用いた照明装置を得ることを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and includes a single type of semiconductor light source that emits short wavelength light and a plurality of types of wavelength conversion members that can be rotated or slid. It is an object of the present invention to obtain a light-color-variable light-emitting device having a small size, low cost, and high light emission efficiency, and a lighting device using the same.

短波長光を発する単一種類の半導体発光光源と、
前記半導体発光光源を内蔵し、前記半導体発光光源からの光照射側に開口部が、筐体の光出射側に光透過部材が設けられ、内表面が少なくとも可視光領域において高反射率の材料で形成された筐体と、
前記筐体の前記開口部に臨ませて回動可能または摺動可能に設けられ、前記半導体発光光源の光源光を励起光として照射し可視光への波長変換が可能で、互いに変換波長スペクトルの異なる複数の波長変換部材を具備する波長変換部と、を備えた構成とするものである。
In order to solve the above problems, the light emitting device of the present invention can be realized by the following means. That is,
A single type of semiconductor light source that emits short-wavelength light;
The semiconductor light emitting source is incorporated, an opening is provided on the light emitting side from the semiconductor light emitting light source , a light transmitting member is provided on the light emitting side of the housing , and the inner surface is made of a highly reflective material at least in the visible light region. A formed housing;
It is provided so as to be rotatable or slidable so as to face the opening of the casing, and can be converted into visible light by irradiating the light source light of the semiconductor light emitting light source as excitation light. And a wavelength conversion unit including a plurality of different wavelength conversion members.

本発明により以下のような効果が得られる。短波長光を発する単一種類の半導体発光光源と、その光源光を励起光として反射的に可視光への波長変換を行う波長変換部と、前記光源光による波長変換部への照射を可能とするとともにこの波長変換部を臨ませる開口部を有する筐体とを備え、前記波長変換部は互いに変換波長スペクトルの異なる一連の複数波長変換部材を具備する可動体として構成することで、照明装置や表示装置に組み込みが容易で、小型化、低コスト化が可能な簡単な構成の発光効率の高い光色可変発光装置を得ることができる。さらに波長変換部を交換可能な構成(交換用部品としても用意できる)とすることができるため、様々なパターンの光色変化を実現することが可能になる。   The following effects can be obtained by the present invention. A single type of semiconductor light-emitting light source that emits short-wavelength light, a wavelength conversion unit that performs wavelength conversion to visible light in a reflective manner using the light source light as excitation light, and enables irradiation to the wavelength conversion unit by the light source light And a housing having an opening that faces the wavelength conversion unit, and the wavelength conversion unit is configured as a movable body including a series of a plurality of wavelength conversion members having different conversion wavelength spectra. It is possible to obtain a light-color variable light-emitting device having a simple structure and high luminous efficiency that can be easily incorporated into a display device and can be reduced in size and cost. Furthermore, since the wavelength conversion unit can be configured to be replaceable (can be prepared as a replacement part), it is possible to realize light color changes of various patterns.

以下、半導体発光光源としてLEDを用いた場合について、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings in the case of using an LED as a semiconductor light emitting source.

実施の形態1.
図1は本発明の実施の形態1を示す発光装置の断面側面図、図2はこの発光装置の上面図である。
この発光装置は、LEDパッケージ6、LEDパッケージ6が取り付けられるパッケージ実装部7、筐体10、さらに筐体10の開口部11内に一部を臨ませて回動可能に装着される波長変換部20、及び筐体10の光出射面に取り付けられる透明ガラスや樹脂などからなる光透過部材30で構成されている。
Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 is a cross-sectional side view of a light-emitting device showing Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a top view of the light-emitting device.
The light emitting device includes an LED package 6, a package mounting portion 7 to which the LED package 6 is attached, a housing 10, and a wavelength conversion portion that is rotatably mounted with a part facing the opening 11 of the housing 10. 20 and a light transmission member 30 made of transparent glass or resin attached to the light emitting surface of the housing 10.

LEDパッケージ6は、LED素子1、LED素子1を実装する、樹脂、セラミック、金属などからなるLED基板2、及びLED素子1の側面に設けられるリフレクタ3、さらにそれらを封止する透光性の封止樹脂4、及びLED基板2の裏面に形成された電極5から構成されている。また、LED素子1は波長変換部材23(23a、23b、23c)を励起可能とするおよそ350nm〜470nm程度の紫外〜青色領域の発光波長を有するもの(フェースアップ、フェースダウンの種類によらない)として構成する。ここで、LEDパッケージ6はLED素子1から組み立てる構成としているが、市販されている表面実装型や砲弾型パッケージのLEDでも構わない。また、LEDパッケージ6は、図2に示すように回動体21の軸方向に単一種類のものが複数個(ここでは5個)並べて配置されているが、もちろん1個でもよい。さらに、LEDパッケージ6は、図1の構成例では光透過部材30の光源側の面(裏面)の中央部に配設されている。   The LED package 6 includes an LED element 1, an LED board 2 made of resin, ceramic, metal, or the like on which the LED element 1 is mounted, a reflector 3 provided on a side surface of the LED element 1, and a translucent material that seals them. It is comprised from the sealing resin 4 and the electrode 5 formed in the back surface of the LED board 2. As shown in FIG. The LED element 1 has an emission wavelength in the ultraviolet to blue range of about 350 nm to 470 nm that can excite the wavelength conversion member 23 (23a, 23b, 23c) (regardless of the type of face-up or face-down). Configure as. Here, although the LED package 6 is configured to be assembled from the LED element 1, a commercially available LED of a surface mount type or a shell type package may be used. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the LED package 6 is arranged with a plurality of (here, five) single-type ones arranged in the axial direction of the rotating body 21, but may be one. Further, the LED package 6 is disposed at the center of the light source side surface (back surface) of the light transmitting member 30 in the configuration example of FIG.

LEDパッケージ実装部7は、図示しない電極接続部を有する、LEDパッケージ6を実装可能とする材料で構成する。例えば、放熱性を有する薄いアルミ材料を基材として表面絶縁処理を行い、その上に導電パターンを形成したもので構成する。この際、絶縁処理面は少なくとも可視光に対して高反射率を有するように形成することで、本発光装置の発光効率を高めることができる。   The LED package mounting portion 7 is made of a material that has an electrode connection portion (not shown) and that can mount the LED package 6. For example, a thin aluminum material having heat dissipation is used as a base material, surface insulation treatment is performed, and a conductive pattern is formed thereon. At this time, the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting device can be improved by forming the insulating surface so as to have at least a high reflectance with respect to visible light.

筐体10は、LED(励起)光が直接波長変換部20に照射されるように、その一部に開口部11を設けるように構成する(図中、実線の矢印aがLED励起光、点線の矢印bが波長変換光を示す)。図1の構成においては、筐体10は、例えばV字状の断面を有するフードにて形成され、そのフードの底面部に開口部11が設けられている。そして、複数の波長変換部材23a、23b、23cが外周上に形成された円筒状の回動体21が開口部11内に臨ませて回転自在に装着されており、回動体21の回動によって複数の波長変換部材23a、23b、23cが切り替わるような構成としている。回動体21の支持構造は図示していないが、筐体10の両端部に支持部材を設け、この支持部材に回動体21の両端の回転軸22を回転自在に軸支する構成とすればよい。   The housing 10 is configured so that an opening 11 is provided in a part thereof so that the LED (excitation) light is directly irradiated to the wavelength conversion unit 20 (in the figure, the solid arrow a indicates the LED excitation light and the dotted line). Arrow b indicates wavelength-converted light). In the configuration of FIG. 1, the housing 10 is formed of, for example, a hood having a V-shaped cross section, and an opening 11 is provided on the bottom surface of the hood. A cylindrical rotating body 21 in which a plurality of wavelength conversion members 23 a, 23 b, 23 c is formed on the outer periphery is rotatably mounted so as to face the opening 11. The wavelength conversion members 23a, 23b, and 23c are switched. Although the support structure of the rotating body 21 is not shown, support members may be provided at both ends of the housing 10 and the rotation shafts 22 at both ends of the rotating body 21 may be rotatably supported on the support member. .

筐体10の内表面は、可視光に対して高反射率を有するような材料で反射面12を形成し、装置内部での反射損失を低減するように形成することが好ましい。反射面12は鏡面性でも拡散性でも構わない。例えば、表面に銀材料を適用することにより可視光より短波長の領域でも高い反射率を保つことが可能であり、LED光源光に対して高い反射特性を有し波長変換部材への再入射を可能とするため、その結果、高い発光効率を実現することが可能である。また、筐体10の光透過部材30の裏面にはLED励起光を選択的に反射させ、可視光を透過させる反射膜を装着するような構成にすることで発光効率の向上を実現することができる。なお、筐体10の内面形状は特に限定されるものではなく、上記のV字状や放物線、あるいはU字状など自由に設計することができる。   The inner surface of the housing 10 is preferably formed so as to reduce the reflection loss inside the apparatus by forming the reflection surface 12 with a material having a high reflectance with respect to visible light. The reflecting surface 12 may be specular or diffusive. For example, by applying a silver material on the surface, it is possible to maintain a high reflectance even in a region of a shorter wavelength than visible light, and it has high reflection characteristics with respect to LED light source light and can re-enter the wavelength conversion member. As a result, high luminous efficiency can be realized. Further, it is possible to improve the light emission efficiency by adopting a configuration in which the LED excitation light is selectively reflected on the back surface of the light transmitting member 30 of the housing 10 and a reflective film that transmits visible light is attached. it can. In addition, the inner surface shape of the housing | casing 10 is not specifically limited, Said V shape, a parabola, or U shape can be designed freely.

本発光装置の波長変換部20は、回動体21の外周上に、波長変換スペクトルの異なる複数の波長変換部材23a、23b、23cが円周方向にほぼ等分割して形成された構成となっており、回転軸22を中心にして回動する。ここで、これら複数の波長変換部材23a、23b、23cは全てLED素子1から発するLED光源光により励起されて発光する材料(波長変換材料)で構成する。これら複数の波長変換部材23a、23b、23cの筐体10内部へ露出する部分(筐体内露出部分)の全体が、開口部11の形状(ここでは矩形形状)の表面積と同等以上の表面積を有するように構成することで、開口部11内で色むらのない目的とする光色をつくり出すことが可能となる。   The wavelength conversion unit 20 of the light emitting device has a configuration in which a plurality of wavelength conversion members 23 a, 23 b, and 23 c having different wavelength conversion spectra are formed on the outer periphery of the rotating body 21 so as to be substantially equally divided in the circumferential direction. It rotates about the rotation shaft 22. Here, the plurality of wavelength conversion members 23a, 23b, and 23c are all made of a material that emits light when excited by the LED light source emitted from the LED element 1 (wavelength conversion material). The entire portion of the plurality of wavelength conversion members 23a, 23b, 23c exposed to the inside of the housing 10 (exposed portion in the housing) has a surface area equal to or larger than the surface area of the shape of the opening 11 (in this case, a rectangular shape). With such a configuration, it is possible to create a desired light color without color unevenness in the opening 11.

本実施形態では波長変換部材23a、23b、23cの一形成方法として、R,G,Bの3種の発光特性を有する蛍光体をシリコーン樹脂に混合して薄いシート状にし、それを表面鏡面加工を施した回動体21上に形成する構成としている。RGBは例えば紫外〜近紫外に励起域を有する、青色:BaMgAl1017:Eu、緑色:ZnS:Cu,Al、赤色:LiEu0.96Sm0.0428である。これらのピーク波長、及びCIExy色度座標上での色度点はそれぞれ、およそ青色:455nm,(x,y)=(0.15,0.08)、緑色:530nm,(0.28,0.59)、赤色:614nm,(0.63,0.33)であり、近紫外励起光の励起波長により色度への影響は異なるが、およそこれら3色度点を結ぶ領域内での光色を自由に作り出すことができる(図16参照)。 In the present embodiment, as a method for forming the wavelength conversion members 23a, 23b, and 23c, phosphors having three types of light emission characteristics of R, G, and B are mixed with a silicone resin to form a thin sheet, which is subjected to surface mirror finishing. It is set as the structure formed on the rotary body 21 which gave. RGB is, for example, blue: BaMgAl 10 O 17 : Eu, green: ZnS: Cu, Al, red: LiEu 0.96 Sm 0.04 W 2 O 8 having an excitation range from ultraviolet to near ultraviolet. These peak wavelengths and chromaticity points on the CIExy chromaticity coordinates are approximately blue: 455 nm, (x, y) = (0.15, 0.08), green: 530 nm, (0.28, 0), respectively. .59), red: 614 nm, (0.63, 0.33), and the influence on the chromaticity varies depending on the excitation wavelength of the near-ultraviolet excitation light, but the light in the region connecting these three chromaticity points. Colors can be created freely (see FIG. 16).

上記のように波長変換部材23a、23b、23cを構成することにより、光源波長が単一種類のものであっても、各蛍光体を励起するものであればRGB蛍光体の混合比を変えることで広範囲での光色を実現可能なものである。例えば、赤の混合比が大きいものは赤白っぽい色光に、さらに青の混合比が大きいものは青白い色光とすることが可能である。また赤、緑、青それぞれの単独色変換材料で形成すれば、赤、緑、青の単色の光色可変の照明装置を得ることが可能である。   By configuring the wavelength conversion members 23a, 23b, and 23c as described above, even if the light source wavelength is of a single type, the mixing ratio of the RGB phosphors can be changed as long as each phosphor is excited. It is possible to realize a wide range of light colors. For example, red light having a large mixing ratio can be reddish white light, and blue light having a large blue mixing ratio can be pale light. Further, if the red, green, and blue single color conversion materials are used, it is possible to obtain a light color variable illumination device that is red, green, and blue.

また、本実施形態の実施例として発光波長395nm程度の近紫外LEDを用い、波長変換部材23a、23b、23cに異なる蛍光体比率の波長変換材料を用い、その回動角を変えることで、例えばJIS照明白色(JISZ9112(四角領域),他の参考規格IEC60081(楕円領域))の5色(昼光色、昼白色、白色、温白色、電球色)を再現することが可能である(図16参照)。なお、図16はCIE1934xy色度座標のJIS照明白色、黒体軌跡と実施の形態1のRGB蛍光体を用いた発光色実現範囲との関係図を示したものであり、図中中央の四角形は右から電球色、温白色、白色、昼白色、昼光色の領域(JIS)を示す。また、図15にはその例として励起光源をピーク波長が395(nm)のLEDとし、上述した蛍光体を混合比を変えて用いて得た、昼光色(約6200K)、昼白色(約4800K)、温白色(約3400K)の発光分布を示す。さらにまた、発光波長に青紫色を呈する近紫外光源を用いることで、紫外線を用いる場合に対して、前記蛍光体の励起を実現するとともに素子保護と光取出し向上を目的とするLED封止材料や波長変換材料の劣化を抑えることが可能である。   Further, as an example of the present embodiment, a near-ultraviolet LED having an emission wavelength of about 395 nm is used, wavelength conversion materials having different phosphor ratios are used for the wavelength conversion members 23a, 23b, and 23c, and the rotation angle thereof is changed. It is possible to reproduce five colors (daylight color, daylight white, white, warm white, light bulb color) of JIS illumination white color (JISZ9112 (square area), other reference standard IEC60081 (elliptical area)) (see FIG. 16). . FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the relationship between the JIS illumination white and black body locus of CIE 1934xy chromaticity coordinates and the emission color realization range using the RGB phosphor of the first embodiment. From the right, light bulb color, warm white, white, day white, and daylight color areas (JIS) are shown. Further, in FIG. 15, as an example, the excitation light source is an LED having a peak wavelength of 395 (nm), and the phosphors described above are used in a daylight color (about 6200K) and daylight white (about 4800K) obtained by changing the mixing ratio. Shows a warm white (about 3400 K) emission distribution. Furthermore, by using a near-ultraviolet light source exhibiting a blue-violet emission wavelength, an LED sealing material for realizing the excitation of the phosphor and the protection of the element and the improvement of light extraction with respect to the case of using ultraviolet rays, It is possible to suppress deterioration of the wavelength conversion material.

本実施形態の発光装置は、上述したように非常に簡単な構成、また安価な構成により所望の光色可変を実現可能であり、前記JIS規格等に基づく照明白色の実現も可能であるため照明用発光装置として有用である。また、半導体発光素子のパッケージや波長変換部の小型化を行うことで装置自体の小型化にも有利な構成である。しかも、複数種類の光源ではなく単一種類の光源で実現可能とするために、複数種類の光源を用いる場合のような電圧・電流制御や調光制御といった煩わしさがないとともに、それら駆動回路が不要であるため低コストで実現可能な方法である。さらに、波長変換部を交換可能な構成(交換用部品としても用意できる)とすることで、様々なパターンの光色変化を実現することが可能になる。   The light emitting device of the present embodiment can realize a desired light color change with a very simple configuration and an inexpensive configuration as described above, and can also realize illumination white color based on the JIS standard or the like. It is useful as a light-emitting device for an automobile. In addition, the size of the device itself can be reduced by downsizing the package of the semiconductor light emitting element and the wavelength conversion unit. Moreover, in order to be able to realize with a single type of light source instead of a plurality of types of light sources, there is no need to bother with voltage / current control and dimming control as in the case of using multiple types of light sources, and those drive circuits This is a method that can be realized at low cost because it is unnecessary. Furthermore, by adopting a configuration in which the wavelength conversion unit can be exchanged (can also be prepared as a replacement part), it is possible to realize light color changes of various patterns.

なお、波長変換部20の形成方法としては、前記のような樹脂混入蛍光体をシート化して回動体21に形成する方法以外に、直接塗布や噴霧、あるいは印刷して形成するような方法でも同様の効果を得ることができる。また、本実施の形態では波長変換部材の変換効率を上げること、及び可視光反射率を高めることを目的として、回動体21の表面(外周面)を高反射率の鏡面状に加工しているが、高反射率拡散性を有するように加工しても同様に本装置の発光効率に有利な効果を得ることができる。   In addition to the method of forming the wavelength conversion unit 20 into the rotating body 21 by forming the resin-mixed phosphor into a sheet as described above, the method of forming by directly applying, spraying, or printing is also the same. The effect of can be obtained. Moreover, in this Embodiment, the surface (outer peripheral surface) of the rotary body 21 is processed into the mirror surface shape of high reflectance for the purpose of raising the conversion efficiency of a wavelength conversion member, and raising visible light reflectance. However, even if it is processed so as to have high reflectivity diffusivity, it is possible to obtain an advantageous effect on the light emission efficiency of the apparatus.

また、本実施形態に示すようなLED光源を波長変換部に照射し反射的に変換光を得る反射型発光方法は、その波長変換部の設計自由度が高く、以下に示す透過型に比較し色管理の負担が少なく高い発光効率を実現する方法であり、本方式は色可変手法として有用である。波長変換部に対しLED光を照射し、波長変換光を透過的に取出す構成の透過型では、蛍光体量を多くしたり、波長変換部材の厚みを厚くしたりすると逆に光の透過率が低下するが、一方反射型ではそれらの調整によって直射型以上に光変換効率を高めることが可能である。さらに、透過型においては前記理由により波長変換部材をあまり厚くすることができず、そのことによる蛍光体混合度合いの不均一さ、波長変換部材の厚さの不均一さにより色むらが発生しやすい欠点がある。一方反射型では波長変換部材の厚さをある程度厚く保つことができるため、色むらは発生しにくく、また透過型で求められる色むら防止のための製造管理面での負荷は少ない。   In addition, the reflection type light emitting method for obtaining the converted light by irradiating the wavelength conversion unit with the LED light source as shown in this embodiment has a high degree of design freedom of the wavelength conversion unit, and is compared with the transmission type shown below. This is a method for realizing high luminous efficiency with little burden of color management, and this method is useful as a color variable method. In the transmission type in which the wavelength conversion unit is irradiated with LED light and the wavelength conversion light is transmissively extracted, if the amount of the phosphor is increased or the thickness of the wavelength conversion member is increased, the light transmittance is reversed. On the other hand, in the reflection type, it is possible to improve the light conversion efficiency more than the direct type by adjusting them. Further, in the transmission type, the wavelength conversion member cannot be made too thick for the above-described reason, and color unevenness is likely to occur due to the nonuniformity of the phosphor mixing degree and the nonuniformity of the thickness of the wavelength conversion member. There are drawbacks. On the other hand, since the thickness of the wavelength conversion member can be kept thick to some extent in the reflective type, color unevenness is unlikely to occur, and the burden on manufacturing management for preventing color unevenness required in the transmissive type is small.

実施の形態2.
図3は本発明の実施の形態2を示す発光装置の断面側面図、図4はその上面図である。
前述の実施形態1では、LEDパッケージ6を光透過部材30の裏面中央部に配設した例を示したが、本実施形態の発光装置は、LEDパッケージ6を筐体10の一方の上端縁部に沿って配設する構成とするものである。筐体10の一方の上端縁部にはLEDパッケージ6を取り付けるための取付部材40が設けられている。その他の構成は実施の形態1とほぼ同じであり、同一構成要素には同一符号を付して説明は省略する。また、以下の実施形態についても特に断らない限り同一構成要素には同一符号を用いるものとする。
Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional side view of a light-emitting device showing Embodiment 2 of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a top view thereof.
In the first embodiment, the example in which the LED package 6 is disposed at the center of the back surface of the light transmitting member 30 has been described. However, in the light emitting device of this embodiment, the LED package 6 is disposed at one upper edge of the housing 10. It is set as the structure arrange | positioned along. An attachment member 40 for attaching the LED package 6 is provided on one upper edge of the housing 10. Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. Further, the same reference numerals are used for the same constituent elements in the following embodiments unless otherwise specified.

取付部材40は、図3に示すように斜め下向きに傾斜した取付面41を有し、この取付面41に複数の単一種類のLEDパッケージ6が装着され、各LEDパッケージ6のLED光源光が筐体10の開口部11に臨ませた波長変換部20に向けて照射するように構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 3, the mounting member 40 has a mounting surface 41 inclined obliquely downward, and a plurality of single types of LED packages 6 are mounted on the mounting surface 41, and the LED light source light of each LED package 6 Irradiation is performed toward the wavelength conversion unit 20 facing the opening 11 of the housing 10.

本実施形態のような発光装置の構成としても実施形態1と同様の光色可変効果を得ることが可能である。また、本実施形態の場合は、LEDパッケージ6のリード線の引き出しや配線が筐体10の片側に集約することができるので、光透過部材30を透過する可視光を遮ることがないため、更なる発光効率の向上を実現することができる。   Even in the configuration of the light emitting device as in the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same light color variable effect as in the first embodiment. Further, in the case of this embodiment, since lead wires and wiring of the LED package 6 can be concentrated on one side of the housing 10, visible light transmitted through the light transmitting member 30 is not blocked. The improvement in luminous efficiency can be realized.

また、取付部材40を金属等の高熱伝導性材料で構成することで、本発光装置の照射面を下向きにして用いる場合でもLEDから発せられる熱の放熱路が確保できるため、LED温度上昇による発光効率低下の少ない色可変発光装置を得ることができる。   In addition, since the mounting member 40 is made of a highly thermally conductive material such as a metal, a heat radiation path for the heat generated from the LED can be secured even when the irradiation surface of the light emitting device is used downward. A color variable light-emitting device with little reduction in efficiency can be obtained.

また、図3に示すように、波長変換部材が23a、23bのように分割数が少なくても、LED光が照射される隣り合う波長変換部材23a、23bの面積比を回動角により次第に変えていくことで、それら2光色の混合比変化により、2つの波長変換部材23a、23bの有する色度点間でのなだらかな色変換が可能となる。例えば波長変換部材の一つを青色、もう一つを黄色を発光するような材料に選定しておくことで、その青色と黄色を結ぶ間の色光を回動角に応じて容易に変えることが可能である。一方、これら波長変換部材を円周方向にさらに細かく領域分割していくことでも、各波長変換部材の発光色の混色効果により、やはり回動角に応じて光色のなだらかな変化を実現することが可能である。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, even if the wavelength conversion member has a small number of divisions such as 23a and 23b, the area ratio of the adjacent wavelength conversion members 23a and 23b irradiated with the LED light is gradually changed according to the rotation angle. As a result, a gentle color conversion between the chromaticity points of the two wavelength conversion members 23a and 23b becomes possible by the change in the mixing ratio of the two light colors. For example, by selecting one of the wavelength conversion members as a material that emits blue and the other as yellow, the color light between the blue and yellow can be easily changed according to the rotation angle. Is possible. On the other hand, even if these wavelength conversion members are further divided into regions in the circumferential direction, a gentle change in the light color according to the rotation angle can also be realized by the color mixing effect of the emission colors of the respective wavelength conversion members. Is possible.

本実施形態の発光装置は、波長変換部材23a、23b、23cを回動体21の円周方向と軸方向にそれぞれ領域分割して構成するものである。ここで、軸方向には隣り合う2つの波長変換部材23a、23bが例えば赤色と緑色の配列となるように構成し、次の回動角では隣り合う2つの波長変換部材23b、23cが例えば緑色と青色の配列となるように構成するものである。
Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional side view of a light-emitting device showing Embodiment 3 of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a top view thereof.
The light emitting device of the present embodiment is configured by dividing the wavelength conversion members 23a, 23b, and 23c into regions in the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the rotating body 21, respectively. Here, two wavelength conversion members 23a and 23b adjacent in the axial direction are configured so as to be arranged in, for example, red and green, and at the next rotation angle, the two wavelength conversion members 23b and 23c adjacent to each other are, for example, green. And a blue array.

このように、複数の波長変換部材の配列や分割数を回動体の円周方向及び軸方向に変化させることにより、様々な混色による光色可変効果や演色効果を持つ照明用発光装置が得られる。   In this way, by changing the arrangement and the number of divisions of the plurality of wavelength conversion members in the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the rotating body, it is possible to obtain an illumination light emitting device having a light color variable effect and a color rendering effect due to various color mixing. .

実施の形態4.
図7は本発明の実施の形態4を示す発光装置の断面側面図である。
本実施形態の発光装置は、波長変換部材を前述の実施の形態1〜3のように円筒形ではなく、各々凹面を有する波長変換部材24a、24b、24cにより形成するものである。そして、これらの波長変換部材24a、24b、24cを回転軸22の外周面上に、あるいは回転軸22を有するデルタ型回動体(図示せず)の外周凹面上に固定することにより、波長変換部20を回動可能に構成するものである。また、波長変換部材24a、24b、24cの背面を高反射率を有する高反射膜で形成することにより、波長変換部材24a、24b、24cの凹部内表面で反射されたLED励起光の凹部内での再入射による励起効率を高めることができるため発光効率の向上に効果を有する。なおこの際、筐体10の開口部11の開口幅と各波長変換部材の弦幅をほぼ等しくし、開口部中心に各波長変換部材の凹部中央が位置するように回動制御(図7の例では0゜,120゜,240°)することで、開口部11と波長変換部20との隙間から光洩れしない、すなわち光損失がない光色可変照明を実現することが可能である。
Embodiment 4 FIG.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional side view of a light-emitting device showing Embodiment 4 of the present invention.
In the light emitting device of this embodiment, the wavelength conversion member is not formed in a cylindrical shape as in the first to third embodiments, but is formed by the wavelength conversion members 24a, 24b, and 24c each having a concave surface. Then, by fixing these wavelength conversion members 24a, 24b, 24c on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 22, or on the outer peripheral concave surface of a delta-type rotating body (not shown) having the rotating shaft 22, the wavelength converting portion 20 is comprised so that rotation is possible. Further, by forming the back surfaces of the wavelength conversion members 24a, 24b, and 24c with a highly reflective film having a high reflectance, the LED excitation light reflected by the inner surfaces of the recesses of the wavelength conversion members 24a, 24b, and 24c Since the excitation efficiency due to re-incidence can be increased, it has the effect of improving the light emission efficiency. At this time, the opening width of the opening 11 of the housing 10 and the chord width of each wavelength conversion member are made substantially equal, and the rotation control is performed so that the center of the recess of each wavelength conversion member is positioned at the center of the opening (see FIG. 7). In the example, 0 °, 120 °, 240 °) makes it possible to realize light color variable illumination in which light does not leak from the gap between the opening 11 and the wavelength converter 20, that is, there is no light loss.

このように発光装置の波長変換部を構成することにより、波長変換面を形成しやすい利点の他、上記同様の角度回転制御により光損失がない光色可変照明を実現することが可能である。
また、図8(B)に示すように、波長変換部を例えば各波長変換部材26a、26b、26cの中央部で材料厚みが厚くなるように構成し、励起波長に対して効率よく波長変換を行うような構成としても構わない。

By configuring the wavelength conversion unit of the light emitting device in this manner, it is possible to realize light color variable illumination with no light loss by the same angle rotation control as described above, in addition to the advantage of easily forming the wavelength conversion surface.
Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, the wavelength conversion section is configured such that the material thickness is increased at the center of each wavelength conversion member 26a, 26b, 26c, for example, and wavelength conversion is efficiently performed with respect to the excitation wavelength. It does not matter even if it is the structure which performs.

実施の形態6.
図9は本発明の実施の形態6を示す発光装置の断面側面図、図10はその発光装置の光透過部材の一部を拡大して示す断面図である。
本実施形態の発光装置は、図9に示すように、筐体10の光出射面に光透過部材30を備えた発光装置であって、この光透過部材30の光源側の面(裏面)に励起波長領域の少なくとも一部を含む近紫外領域を反射し、それより長い波長域の光を透過させる選択波長透過反射材料31で構成するものである。例えば光透過部材30をガラスとして酸化チタンや酸化ハフニウムなどからなる多層金属酸化薄膜をガラス板の裏面に備えるように構成する。
Embodiment 6 FIG.
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional side view of a light-emitting device showing Embodiment 6 of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a part of a light transmission member of the light-emitting device.
As shown in FIG. 9, the light emitting device of the present embodiment is a light emitting device including a light transmitting member 30 on the light emitting surface of the housing 10, and the light transmitting member 30 has a light source side surface (back surface). The selective wavelength transmission / reflection material 31 reflects the near ultraviolet region including at least a part of the excitation wavelength region and transmits light in a longer wavelength region. For example, the light transmissive member 30 is made of glass, and a multilayer metal oxide thin film made of titanium oxide or hafnium oxide is provided on the back surface of the glass plate.

このように本発光装置を構成することにより、光源から発し波長変換部で反射した近紫外光を、直接外部反射させずに筐体内面へ反射させ、波長変換部へ再入射させることが可能である。したがって、励起反射光による再波長変換を行うことができ、発光効率のよい光色可変照明装置を得ることが可能である。   By constructing the light emitting device in this way, it is possible to reflect near-ultraviolet light emitted from the light source and reflected by the wavelength conversion unit directly on the inner surface of the housing without being externally reflected and re-enter the wavelength conversion unit. is there. Therefore, re-wavelength conversion by excitation reflected light can be performed, and it is possible to obtain a light color variable illumination device with high luminous efficiency.

また、図10に示すように、筐体10の光出射面に光透過部材30を備えた発光装置であって、この光透過部材30の裏面あるいは内部に近紫外線を吸収し、それより長い波長域の光を透過させる材料で構成する。例えば透明板からなる光透過部材30をアクリルやガラスとして、酸化チタンや酸化亜鉛などをベースとした近紫外線吸収フィラー33を分散させたアクリルやシリコーンなどの近紫外線吸収材料32を透明板の裏面に薄膜形成する。あるいは、予めアクリル自体に上記フィラーを分散させ光透過部材30として形成する。   Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the light emitting device includes a light transmitting member 30 on the light emitting surface of the housing 10, and absorbs near-ultraviolet rays on the back surface or inside of the light transmitting member 30 and has a longer wavelength than that. It is made of a material that transmits the light in the region. For example, a light transmitting member 30 made of a transparent plate is made of acrylic or glass, and a near ultraviolet absorbing material 32 such as acrylic or silicone in which a near ultraviolet absorbing filler 33 based on titanium oxide or zinc oxide is dispersed is provided on the back surface of the transparent plate. A thin film is formed. Alternatively, the light transmitting member 30 is formed by previously dispersing the filler in acrylic itself.

このように本発光装置を構成することにより、近紫外線をほぼ含まない照明光を実現でき、例えば美術館照明に用いるような場合でも、被照明体への近紫外照射を抑制することができるため、被照明体の短波長による劣化を生じさせることがなく、シーンに応じて光色可変を可能とする照明装置を得ることが可能である。   By configuring the present light emitting device in this way, it is possible to realize illumination light that does not substantially include near ultraviolet rays, and for example, even in the case of use in museum lighting, it is possible to suppress near ultraviolet irradiation to an object to be illuminated. It is possible to obtain an illuminating device that does not cause deterioration due to a short wavelength of an object to be illuminated and can change the light color according to the scene.

実施の形態7.
図11は本発明の実施の形態7を示す発光装置の断面側面図である。
本実施形態の発光装置は、可動体である波長変換部20を筐体10の開口部11に沿って摺動するように構成するものである。したがって、この波長変換部20は、変換波長スペクトルの異なる複数の波長変換部材27a、27b、27cが金属や樹脂などからなる摺動体28の表面上に連続的かつ平面状に形成されている。図中、29は波長変換部20を摺動させるための操作軸である。
Embodiment 7 FIG.
FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional side view of a light-emitting device showing Embodiment 7 of the present invention.
The light emitting device of the present embodiment is configured such that the wavelength conversion unit 20 that is a movable body slides along the opening 11 of the housing 10. Accordingly, in the wavelength conversion unit 20, a plurality of wavelength conversion members 27a, 27b, and 27c having different conversion wavelength spectra are formed continuously and in a planar shape on the surface of the sliding body 28 made of metal, resin, or the like. In the figure, 29 is an operation axis for sliding the wavelength conversion unit 20.

このように本発光装置を構成することにより、前述の実施の形態1と同様の色可変効果を得ることが可能である。
さらに、本構成により発光装置の薄型化を可能とすることができ、また波長変換部が平面状であるため波長変換部材の形成も容易である利点がある。
また、複数の波長変換部材を摺動方向だけでなくこれに直角の方向にも配列する構成とすることにより、実施の形態3と同様に様々なパターンの光色変化を実現することが可能である。
By configuring the light emitting device in this way, it is possible to obtain the same color variable effect as that of the first embodiment.
Furthermore, this structure can make the light emitting device thinner, and since the wavelength conversion portion is planar, there is an advantage that the wavelength conversion member can be easily formed.
Further, by arranging the plurality of wavelength conversion members not only in the sliding direction but also in a direction perpendicular thereto, it is possible to realize light color changes of various patterns as in the third embodiment. is there.

実施の形態8.
図12は本発明の実施の形態8を示す発光装置の発光状態を自動制御可能とする構成図である。

また、LED調光装置52を設け、照射する波長変換部材の種類に応じてLED素子1を調光し、発光色に応じて発光強度を変えるような構成とすることも可能である。
Embodiment 8 FIG.
FIG. 12 is a configuration diagram that enables automatic control of the light emission state of the light emitting device according to Embodiment 8 of the present invention.
The wavelength conversion unit 20 of the light emitting device in the above-described first to seventh embodiments can set the desired light color by the user by manually moving the rotation shaft 22 or the operation shaft 29 mainly. On the other hand, when realizing automatic control of light color, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a wavelength conversion member position control device 51 such as a stepping motor is attached to a movable shaft (here, the rotation shaft 22), and a main controller such as a microcomputer is used. The control device 50 performs a rotation angle control.
Moreover, it is also possible to provide an LED dimming device 52, dimming the LED element 1 according to the type of wavelength conversion member to be irradiated, and changing the emission intensity according to the emission color.

このように、発光状態の制御手段を具備する発光装置とすることにより、それぞれ波長変換部材による光強度には強弱があるため、このような調光手法により光色によらず発光装置の発光強度を一定化することができる。また逆に積極的に光色に応じた光強度調節を行い、本発光装置による被照明空間の演色効果を高めることが可能である。さらにタイマ(図示せず)を併用することにより、時間に応じて光色可変を行う演色機能を有する発光装置として構成することも可能である。   As described above, since the light intensity by the wavelength conversion member is strong by using the light emitting device having the light emission state control means, the light intensity of the light emitting device is not dependent on the light color by such a light control method. Can be made constant. Conversely, it is possible to increase the color rendering effect of the illuminated space by the light emitting device by positively adjusting the light intensity according to the light color. Further, by using a timer (not shown) in combination, it is possible to configure as a light emitting device having a color rendering function for changing light color according to time.
