Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、発光ダイオードを用いた光源装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
この種の光源装置としては、図24に示すような砲弾型の発光ダイオードを用いたものが従来より提供されており、発光ダイオードを単数で使用したり、複数個の発光ダイオードを基板30上にアレイ状に配置して使用するものがあった。
【0003】
砲弾型の発光ダイオードは、金属製のリードフレーム31に設けた凹所31a上にLEDチップ2を銀ぺーストやエポキシ系樹脂などのダイボンディングペースト7を用いてダイボンドし、LEDチップ2の上面に設けた電極部分(図示せず)とリードフレーム31,32との間を金などの金属細線からなるボンディングワイヤ9でワイヤボンドした後、透光性を有する封止樹脂33でリードフレーム31,32とLEDチップ2とボンディングワイヤ9とを封止して形成されている。
【0004】
ここで、封止樹脂33には主としてエポキシ樹脂が用いられており、この封止樹脂33には以下に挙げる3つの機能がある。先ず第1に、封止樹脂33には機械的衝撃から部品を保護したり、水分からLEDチップ2を保護する保護機能がある。また、LEDチップ2の発光部の屈折率は約2.8程度と高いため、LEDチップ2表面と空気との界面では屈折率の差による全反射が発生し、LEDチップ2の光取り出し効率が低いという問題があるが、LEDチップ2の表面を屈折率が約1.8程度のエポキシ樹脂で覆うことによって、LEDチップ2からの光取り出し効率を向上させる機能が封止樹脂33にはある。さらに、封止樹脂33には、LEDチップ2から放射された光を封止樹脂33表面のレンズ効果によって集光又は拡散させるといった光制御機能がある。
【0005】
また、リードフレーム31,32の機能としては、LEDチップ2をダイボンドする際の土台となってLEDチップ2を支持する機能と、LEDチップ2がダイボンドされる凹所31aの周りを鏡面としてLEDチップ2からの発光を効率良く前方へ配光させる機能と、LEDチップ2の発熱を熱伝導によって基板30などを通じて外部へ逃がす機能とがある。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、LEDチップ2では、照明器具としての通常の使用温度領域において、低温になるほど発光効率が高く、高温になるほど発光効率が低下する。これは、温度上昇による格子振動の増加に伴って電子とホールとの無輻射結合が増加するからである。発光ダイオードを用いる光源装置では、発熱する部分は主としてLEDチップ2であるから、LEDチップ2で発生した熱を速やかに外部に放熱し、LEDチップ2の温度を低下させることは、LEDチップ2の発光効率を向上させる上で非常に重要な課題となる。
【0007】
また、LEDチップ2から外部への放熱特性を高めることによってLEDチップ2自身の温度上昇を抑制できるから、LEDチップ2に大きな順方向電流を通電して使用することができ、LEDチップ2の光出力を増大させることができる。さらに、放熱特性を高めることによって、LEDチップ2の寿命を延ばす効果も得られる。
【0008】
尚、LEDチップ2の寿命が改善される理由としては、以下に挙げる2つの理由が考えられる。一般的な照明器具と同様に、LEDチップ2の寿命を、光束が点灯初期の約70%に低下した時点と定義すると、赤色発光の発光ダイオードは約6万時間の寿命があると考えられるが、例えばLEDチップ2に定格電流以上の順方向電流を印加して過負荷状態で使用すると、LEDチップ2自身の発熱によってLEDチップ2の劣化が著しく加速されてしまう。したがって、放熱特性を向上させることにより、LEDチップ2の温度上昇が抑制され、LEDチップ2の寿命が短くなるのを防止することができる。
【0009】
また、青色発光ダイオードや、青色発光ダイオードを用い青色発光ダイオードの青色光を白色光に変換して出力する白色発光ダイオードでは、従来の赤色発光ダイオードに比べて放射光のエネルギーが高く、そのためLEDチップ2を封止する封止樹脂33が、LEDチップ2の放射光によって劣化し、褐色に呈色してしまう。封止樹脂33の呈色が始まると、青色系の光をより吸収しやすくなり、封止樹脂33の呈色がさらに加速されるため、結果的にLEDチップ2近傍の封止樹脂33が褐色に呈色してしまい、LEDチップ2自身は点灯初期の光束を維持しているにも関わらず、封止樹脂33から外部に放射される光が著しく低下してしまう。このように封止樹脂33が褐色に呈色することによって、青色発光ダイオードや白色発光ダイオードの場合は、その寿命が約6000時間程度となり、赤色発光ダイオードに比べて著しく短くなる。ところで、封止樹脂33の呈色反応は光化学反応ではあるが、封止樹脂33の温度が高くなると、呈色反応の反応速度が速くなることが一般的に知られており、LEDチップ2から外部への放熱特性を向上させることによって、LEDチップ2及び封止樹脂33の温度を低減し、LEDチップ2の発光による封止樹脂33の呈色反応を抑制することができる。
【0010】
上述のように発光ダイオードを用いた光源装置では、その発光効率の向上、光出力の増加、長寿命化といった観点から、LEDチップ2より外部への放熱特性を向上させることが非常に重要になる。しかしながら、砲弾型の発光ダイオードでは、LEDチップ2の発熱を逃がすための放熱経路が、リードフレーム31を通じて基板30に逃がす経路と、封止樹脂33を通じて空気中に逃がす経路の2つであり、封止樹脂33を通じて放熱する経路ではエポキシ樹脂の熱伝導率が低いために十分な放熱効果が得られない。したがって、リードフレーム31を通じて放熱する放熱経路が主になるが、リードフレーム31自体が細く、また放熱経路が7〜10mm程度と長いため、封止樹脂33を通じて放熱する経路よりは大きな放熱効果が得られるものの、十分な放熱効果は期待できず、放熱特性を改善した光源装置を実現するのは困難であった。
【0011】
そこで、放熱特性を更に改善するために、図25に示すようにLEDチップ2を基板34に直接ダイボンドした光源装置も提案されている。基板34は例えばアルミニウムの薄板からなり、基板34にプレス加工を施すことによって凹所34aを形成し、基板34の表面に絶縁体薄膜35を形成した後、凹所34aの底面に形成された絶縁体薄膜35上にLEDチップ2をダイボンドしている。そして、基板34の表面に絶縁体膜層35を介して形成された配線パターン36とLEDチップ2表面の電極との間をボンディングワイヤ9を介して電気的に接続し、凹所34a内に透光性を有する封止樹脂37を充填して形成される。
【0012】
この光源装置では、LEDチップ2の発熱は、LEDチップ2からダイボンディングペースト7→絶縁体膜層35→基板34の経路で放熱され、基板34に伝わった熱は基板34全体に拡散していくため、砲弾型の発光ダイオードに比べて放熱経路が短く、放熱性が非常に高くなっている。しかしながら、この放熱経路においても、放熱性を阻害する構成要素としてダイボンディングペースト7と絶縁体膜層35とが存在する。ダイボンディングペースト7は樹脂製であり、ペースト自体の熱伝導係数は小さいものの、ペーストの厚みは5μm以下と薄いため、ダイボンディングペースト7が放熱性に与える影響は小さいものと考えられる。一方、絶縁体膜層35は樹脂やセラッミックスフィラーを分散させた樹脂などから形成されており、金属に比較して絶縁体膜層35自体の熱伝導係数が小さく、また絶縁体膜層35の厚みも300μm程度と厚くなっているため、放熱性に与える影響が大きくなっている。而して、図25に示す構造の光源装置では、砲弾型LEDを用いた光源装置に比べて、LEDチップ2からの放熱性は高くなっているものの、放熱経路に絶縁体膜層35が存在しているために、十分な放熱性が得られなかった。
【0013】
また、LEDチップ2からの放熱において、絶縁体膜層35の影響を低減する目的で、基板34の表面から部分的に絶縁体膜層35を除去し、露出した基板34にLEDチップ2を直接ダイボンドした光源装置も提案されている。しかしながら、絶縁体膜層35を部分的に除去する方法としては、エンドミルなどによる切削加工によるものであり、露出した基板34の表面は切削傷が著しく、実測した結果、プラスマイナス20μm程度の平滑度であった。ところで、LEDチップ2をダイボンドする場合、ダイボンド剤の種類にもよるが、LEDチップ2を実装する面にはプラスマイナス5μm程度の平滑度が必要になるため、切削加工した面にLEDチップ2を実装するのは難しく、露出した基板34の表面にLEDチップ2を実装するのは難しかった。
【0014】
また、図25に示す光源装置では、絶縁体膜層35の上面に配線パターン36が形成されており、ボンディングワイヤ9の一端は配線パターン36に接続されているから、LEDチップ2を封止樹脂37で封止したとしても、ボンディングワイヤ9の一部が封止樹脂37から外側に露出することになり、機械的衝撃に対してボンディングワイヤ9の強度が著しく低下するという問題がある。そこで、封止樹脂37から外側に露出しているボンディングワイヤ9の部位を保護するために、封止樹脂37から露出しているボンディングワイヤ9の部位を別途樹脂封止することも考えられるが、同じ樹脂を用いて樹脂封止したとしても、2回に分けて樹脂封止を行った場合は2つの樹脂の界面部分に応力が残存するため、点灯時に発生するLEDチップ2の発熱によって応力が増大し、界面部分でボンディングワイヤ9が断線する虞もある。特に青色発光のLEDチップ2を用いて白色発光を得るために、封止樹脂37に蛍光体などの粉体を分散させている場合は、封止樹脂37の上から樹脂封止された封止樹脂との間に熱膨張率の差が生じ、界面部分でボンディングワイヤ9が断線する可能性が増大するという問題もあった。
【0015】
本発明は上記問題点に鑑みて為されたものであり、その目的とするところは、発光効率を向上させて光出力を増大させ、長寿命化を図ると共に、機械的強度を高めた光源装置を提供することにある。

【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、請求項1の発明では、熱伝導性を有する基板と、基板の少なくとも一方の面に配設された絶縁部材と、基板と対向する絶縁部材の部位に絶縁部材を貫通して設けられた孔と、この孔から露出する基板の部位に対向させ且つ熱結合させて配置されたLEDチップと、絶縁部材に設けられ絶縁部材によって基板と電気的に絶縁された配線部を含む給電部と、給電部とLEDチップの電極との間を電気的に接続する接続部材と、孔内に充填されLEDチップ及び接続部材の全体を封止する透光性を有する封止材料とを備え、絶縁部材に設けた孔の基板側の開口縁に内側に突出する張出部を設け、この張出部に配線部の少なくとも一部を配置し、張出部に配置された配線部の部位にLEDチップの電極を電気的に接続しており、絶縁部材側に突出し絶縁部材に設けた孔内に挿入される突台部を基板に設け、この突台部にLEDチップを対向させ且つ熱結合させて配置したことを特徴とし、LEDチップは絶縁部材に設けた孔から露出する基板の部位に対向させ且つ熱結合させて配置されているので、熱伝導性を有する基板を介してLEDチップの発熱を放出することができ、放熱性を向上させた光源装置を実現できる。したがって、LEDチップの温度上昇が抑制され、温度上昇による発光効率の低下を防止することができる。しかもLEDチップの温度上昇が低減されるから、より大きな順方向電流をLEDチップに印加して、LEDチップの光出力を増大させることもでき、またLEDチップや封止材料の熱的な劣化が低減され、長寿命化が図れる。さらに、孔内に充填された封止材料によってLEDチップ及び接続部材の全体を封止しており、LEDチップと給電部とを電気的に接続する接続部材として金属線を用いた場合にも、樹脂の界面で発生する応力によって金属線が断線する虞はなく、機械的強度を向上させることができる。しかも基板に突台部を設けることによって、突台部の高さ分だけ張出部の厚み寸法を厚くすることができるから、張出部の加工を容易に行え、且つ、張出部の厚み寸法を厚くすることによって、張出部の剛性を高くし、基板と絶縁部材とを接合する際に張出部と基板との間に隙間ができるのを防止できる。
【0017】
請求項の発明では、請求項1の発明において、LEDチップに接続部材を介して電気的に接続される配線部の部位は孔内に配置されており、封止材料は孔の開口付近まで充填されたことを特徴とし、封止材料の表面が孔の開口付近にくるまで封止材料を充填することによって、封止材料の充填量を略一定とすることができ、品質のばらつきを抑制できる。
【0018】
請求項の発明では、請求項の発明において、上記接続部材は金属線からなり、基板及び絶縁部材の接合方向において、金属線の一端が接続されるLEDチップの部位と、金属線の他端が接続される配線部の部位の高さを略同じ高さとしたことを特徴とし、LEDチップと配線部との間を電気的に接続する金属線の長さを短くできるから、金属線の機械的強度を高くでき、またLEDチップと配線部の高さを略同じ高さとすることにより、ボンディング作業を容易に行うことができる。
【0019】
請求項の発明では、請求項の発明において、基板及び絶縁部材の接合方向において、LEDチップが実装される突台部と、LEDチップに電気的に接続される配線部の部位の高さを略同じ高さとしたことを特徴とし、LEDチップから放射される光が配線部に遮光されることはなく、光のけられを少なくして、光の取り出し効率を高めることができる。
【0020】
請求項の発明では、請求項の発明において、突台部は、基板における絶縁部材と反対側の面から打ち出し加工を行って凹所を形成することにより、基板における絶縁部材側の面に打ち出されたことを特徴とし、打ち出し加工を行うことによって突台部を形成しているので、切削加工により突台部を形成する場合に比べて加工費用を低減できる。また、基板と絶縁部材とを接着剤で貼り合わせた場合、接着剤の熱収縮によって基板全体が絶縁部材側に反ってしまうが、打ち出し加工を行って凹所を形成することにより、基板全体が絶縁部材と反対側に反るので、接着材の熱収縮によって発生する基板の反りを相殺し、全体として基板が反るのを防止できる。
【0021】
請求項の発明では、請求項の発明において、基板を、孔に連通する連通孔が形成されたベース板と、連通孔内に取り付けられ先端が絶縁部材側に突出する突起部とで構成し、突起部の先端により突台部を構成したことを特徴とし、ベース板の孔に突起部を挿入し、突起部の先端を絶縁部材側に突出させることによって突台部を形成しているので、突台部を切削加工により形成する場合に比べて、突台部の加工を容易に行うことができる。
【0022】
請求項の発明では、請求項の発明において、孔と突台部との間に隙間を設けたことを特徴とし、基板と絶縁部材とを接着剤で貼り合わせた場合、基板と絶縁部材との接合面から余分な接着剤がはみ出し、はみ出した接着剤によってLEDチップの光が遮光されたり、LEDチップを実装できなくなる虞があるが、はみ出した接着剤は孔と突台部との間に設けた隙間に溜まるので、接着剤が突台部の上面まで這い上がってくることはなく、はみ出した接着剤によってLEDチップの光が遮光されたり、LEDチップを実装できなくなるのを防止できる。
【0023】
請求項の発明では、請求項1乃至7の何れか1つの発明において、基板と絶縁部材との位置決めを行うための位置決め手段を基板と絶縁部材との接合面に設けたことを特徴とし、位置決め手段により基板と絶縁部材との位置決めを行うことができ、基板と絶縁部材との接合作業を容易に行える。
【0024】
請求項の発明では、請求項1乃至7の何れか1つの発明において、基板と絶縁部材との接合面に接合に用いる接着剤の溜まり部を絶縁部材の孔の周りに設けたことを特徴とし、基板と絶縁部材とを接着剤で貼り合わせた場合、基板と絶縁部材との接合面から余分な接着剤がはみ出し、はみ出した接着剤によってLEDチップの光が遮光されたり、LEDチップを実装できなくなる虞があるが、接合時に余分な接着剤は溜まり部に溜まるため、接着剤のはみ出しを防止できる。また、基板と絶縁部材との接合面に接着剤が不足している部分があると、この部分にできる隙間から封止材料が漏れ出す虞があるが、余分な接着剤を溜める溜まり部が絶縁部材に設けた孔の周りに設けられ、溜まり部に溜まった余分な接着剤は孔から露出する基板の部位を囲むようにして配置されるので、溜まり部に溜まった接着剤が封止材料をせき止める堰の役割を果たして、封止材料が漏れ出すのを防止できる。
【0025】
請求項10の発明では、請求項1の発明において、上記給電部は導電性材料により形成された基板を含み、基板とLEDチップの電極とを電気的に接続したことを特徴とし、基板そのものを給電部としており、LEDチップの一方の電極を基板に接続するとともに、LEDチップの他方の電極を配線部に接続することによって、LEDチップに給電することができるから、絶縁部材の表面に形成する配線部が1回路分で済むという利点がある。また、LEDチップに給電するための回路の一部を基板が担っているので、回路を基板側に容易に引き出すことができる。
【0026】
請求項11の発明では、請求項10の発明において、上記基板に、互いに電気的に絶縁された複数の領域を設けたことを特徴としている。ところで、一枚の基板に複数のLEDチップが実装される場合、一枚の基板が互いに電気的に絶縁された複数の領域に分割されていないと、全てのLEDチップが並列に接続されることになる。ここで、LEDチップは個体ごとに駆動電圧が若干異なるため、複数のLEDチップが並列に接続されると、駆動電圧が最も低いLEDチップに多大な電流が流れて、LEDチップが破損する虞がある。そこで、複数のLEDチップに流れる電流を均等にするために、個々のLEDチップ毎に電流制限用の抵抗を直列接続する方法が考えられるが、LEDチップの数だけ電流制限用の抵抗が必要になり、各抵抗で消費される電力ロスが増大する。それに対して本発明では、基板に、互いに電気的に絶縁された複数の領域を設けており、各領域にそれぞれLEDチップを実装し、各領域に実装されたLEDチップを直列に接続すれば、個々のLEDチップに流れる電流値を略一定にすることができ、且つ、直列接続された複数のLEDチップに対して電流制限用の抵抗を1個接続すれば、各LEDチップに流れる電流を制限できるから、電流制限用の抵抗で消費される電力ロスを小さくできる。
【0027】
請求項12の発明では、請求項1の発明において、封止材料の表面を、LEDチップの発光を所望の方向に配光するレンズ形状としたことを特徴とし、封止材料の表面をレンズ形状としたことにより、別途レンズを設けることなく、LEDチップの発光を所望の方向に配光することができる。
【0028】
請求項13の発明では、請求項1の発明において、孔の側壁にLEDチップの発光を反射して所望の方向に配光する反射部を設けたことを特徴とし、反射部によってLEDチップの光を反射して所望の方向へ配光することにより、光の取り出し効率を高めることができる。
【0029】
請求項14の発明では、請求項13の発明において、上記反射部を配線部で兼用したことを特徴とし、配線部が反射部を兼用することにより、絶縁部材の表面に形成される配線部及び反射部のパターンを簡素化できる。
【0030】
請求項15の発明では、請求項13の発明において、上記接続部材は金属線からなり、金属線の延びる方向に配線部を配設したことを特徴とし、LEDチップからの光は金属線によって遮光されるが、金属線の影となる部分に配線部を配置しているので、配線部以外の部位に形成された反射部によって、LEDチップからの光を所望の方向に配光することができる。
【0031】
請求項16の発明では、請求項1の発明において、封止材料は、LEDチップから放射された光の少なくとも一部を所定の光色に変換する光色変換機能を有することを特徴とし、封止材料によって光色が変換された光と、LEDチップからの光とを混色することによって、所望の光色の光を得ることができる。
【0032】
請求項17の発明では、請求項16の発明において、封止材料の表面は、絶縁部材における基板と反対側の面よりも基板側に位置し、孔の周壁にLEDチップの発光を反射して所望の方向に配光する反射部を設けたことを特徴とし、LEDチップからの光は封止材料を通過することによって分散され、完全拡散配光となっているので、配光制御しやすくなっており、反射部によって所望の方向に配光することができる。
【0033】
請求項18の発明では、請求項1の発明において、配線部の一部を基板側に向かって延伸し、この延伸された部分で外部接続端子を構成することを特徴とし、配線部の一部を基板側に向かって延伸し、この延伸された部位を外部接続端子としているので、基板側から配線部への給電を容易に行うことができる。なお、配線部の一部を基板側に向かって延伸させる形態としては種々考えられるが、例えば絶縁部材の端部に沿って配線部を基板側に延伸したり、絶縁部材にスルーホールを形成し、このスルーホール内に導電性材料を充填することによって配線部を基板側に延伸することが考えられる。また基板側に向かって延伸する配線部の長さも必要に応じて決定され、絶縁部材の途中まで又は基板側の面まで延伸しても良いし、基板側の面に一部を回り込ませるようにしても良いし、また基板の向こう側まで突出するようにしても良い。
【0034】
請求項19の発明では、請求項18の発明において、上記配線部の一部が、絶縁部材における基板との対向面まで延伸されたことを特徴とし、配線部の一部を基板との対向面まで延伸させているので、この延伸された部分に対して容易に給電することができる。例えば、基板と嵌合する穴の形成された器具本体にこの光源装置を実装する場合、配線部の一部を絶縁部材における基板との対向面まで延伸しているので、器具本体の穴に基板部分を嵌合すれば、器具本体に形成された配線部と光源装置の配線部との電気的接続を容易に行うことができ、さらに基板部分を穴内に嵌め込んで器具本体と接触させるようにすれば、放熱性が向上する。
【0035】
請求項20の発明では、請求項18又は19の発明において、絶縁部材の一部を基板側に向かって延伸し、この延伸された部分の先端を、基板における絶縁部材と反対側の面と略面一にしたことを特徴とし、絶縁部材の基板側に延伸された部位に器具本体の表面に載置して光源装置を器具本体に実装する際に、絶縁部材の延伸された部位が基板における絶縁部材と反対側の面と略面一になっているので、絶縁部材を器具本体の表面に載置するだけで、基板が器具本体の表面に接触するから、LEDチップの発熱が基板を介して器具本体に放出され、冷却効果が向上する。しかも、配線部の一部を基板側に延伸させて外部接続端子としているので、外部接続端子と器具本体の表面に形成された配線部との電気的接続を容易に行える。さらに、絶縁部材の基板側に延伸された部位の先端面に外部接続端子を形成すれば放熱性を向上させた表面実装型の光源装置を実現できる。
【0036】
請求項21の発明では、請求項1の発明において、絶縁部材とLEDチップと配線部と封止部材とが基板の両面に設けられたことを特徴とし、基板の両面からLEDチップの光を放射させることができ、且つ、基板の両面に同じ部品が配設されているので、基板の反りを抑制することができる
【0037】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の実施の形態を図面を参照して説明する。
【0038】
(基本構成)
本発明の基本構成を図1(a)(b)を参照して説明する。この光源装置1は、例えばアルミニウムのような熱伝導性の高い材料から形成された厚さが約2mmの基板3と、例えば液晶ポリマーのような絶縁材料からなる厚さが約2mmの絶縁部材4とを貼り合わせて構成される。
【0039】
絶縁部材4における基板3と反対側の面には、直径が約3mmで深さが約1.5mmの丸穴5が2箇所形成され、各丸穴5の略中央には絶縁部材4を貫通して基板3に達する断面略円形で直径が約1mmの貫通孔6がそれぞれ穿設されている。ここに、丸穴5と貫通孔6とで、基板3と対向する絶縁部材4の部位に絶縁部材4を貫通して設けられた孔が構成され、丸穴5の底部には内側に突出する張出部4aが基板3と一体に形成されている。そして、貫通孔6から露出する基板3の部位にそれぞれLEDチップ2が、銀ペーストのようなダイボンディングペースト7を用いてダイボンドされている。また、絶縁部材4における基板3と反対側の面には、2個のLEDチップ2の実装部位を通る同一直線上に銅などの導電材料からなる配線パターン(配線部)8が形成されている。配線パターン8は丸穴5の側壁及び底面(張出部4a)まで延設され、ワイヤーボンディング用の接続部を構成しており、LEDチップ2の電極(図示せず)と配線パターン8との間は、例えば金のような金属細線よりなるボンディングワイヤ(金属線)9を介して電気的に接続されている。ここで、少なくともボンディングワイヤ9の接続される配線パターン8の部位には金めっきが施されており、ボンディングワイヤ9をボンディングしやすいようになっている。また、LEDチップ2の上面と、丸穴5の底面に形成された配線パターン8の部位とは略同じ高さになっているので、ボンディングワイヤ9の長さを短くして、ボンディングワイヤ9の機械的強度を高めることができ、且つ、ボンディング作業を容易に行えるようにしている。
【0040】
その後、丸穴5の内部に透光性を有する2液硬化型注型用エポキシ樹脂のような封止樹脂(封止材料)10を注入することによって、LEDチップ2とボンディングワイヤ9の全体が樹脂封止され、ボンディングワイヤ9の接続部が封止樹脂10によって保護される。ここで、封止樹脂10を注入する際には、絶縁部材4の上面まで注入すれば良く、封止樹脂10の注入量を容易に制御することができる。また、ボンディングワイヤ9は、張出部4a上に延設された配線パターン8の部位に接続されており、丸穴5内に納められているので、丸穴5内に充填された封止樹脂10によってボンディングワイヤ9とその接続部位とを樹脂封止することができ、ボンディングワイヤ9が封止樹脂10から外側に露出することによって機械的強度が低下したり、封止樹脂10の表面で発生する応力によってボンディングワイヤ9が断線する虞はない。
【0041】
尚、LEDチップ2としては、チップ上面に2つの電極が形成されたGaN系LEDチップを例として説明しているが、AlInGaP系LEDチップのようにチップ下面が一方の電極となり、チップ上面にもう一方の電極が形成されたようなLEDチップを用いても良く、この場合は基板3を配線として用いるか、又は、基板3に電極を設け、LEDチップと基板3の電極及び配線パターン8との間をそれぞれボンディングワイヤで接続すれば良い。
【0042】
上述のように、光源装置1では、LEDチップ2が熱伝導性の良好な基板3上に直接ダイボンドされているから、LEDチップ2の発熱はダイボンディングペースト7を介して基板3へ伝わり、基板3に到達したLEDチップ2の発熱は速やかに基板3全体に広がる。ここで、LEDチップ2の発熱の放熱経路には、熱伝導係数の低いダイボンディングペースト7が存在するが、ダイボンディングペースト7の厚さは数μm程度と薄いため、放熱性に与える影響は小さく、十分な放熱性能が得られる。例えば熱抵抗で比較すると、従来例で説明した砲弾型LEDの場合は、LEDチップからリードフレームの先端までの熱抵抗が約350℃/Wであったのに対して、光源装置1では、LEDチップ2から基板3の裏面までの熱抵抗が約90℃/Wであり、熱抵抗を約4分の1に低減することができる。
【0043】
したがって、従来の光源装置に比べて、LEDチップ2から外部への放熱特性が高くなり、LEDチップ2の温度上昇が抑制されるから、LEDチップ2の発光効率が向上すると共に、光出力が増加し、且つ、長寿命化を図ることができる。
【0044】
また、LEDチップ2およびボンディングワイヤ9は封止樹脂10によって封止されており、ボンディングワイヤ9の接続部位も封止樹脂10によって保護されているから、ボンディングワイヤ9に応力が加わることはなく、ボンディングワイヤ9の断線を防止することができ、機械的な強度を向上させることができる。
【0045】
尚、本光源装置1では基板3としてアルミ板を用いているが、基板3の材料をアルミニウムに限定する趣旨のものではなく、銅などの金属や、窒化アルミニウムなどの熱伝導性の高いセラミックスから形成しても良く、上述と同様の効果が得られる。また、本光源装置1では絶縁部材4上にプリント配線技術を用いて配線パターン8を形成しているが、配線パターン8の代わりに、絶縁部材4内を通り、ボンディングワイヤ9の接続部位のみをLEDチップ2の近傍に露出させたリードフレーム(図示せず)を用いて、LEDチップ2の配線を行っても良い。
【0046】
(実施形態
本発明の実施形態を図2を参照して説明する。この光源装置1は、例えばアルミニウムのような熱伝導性の高い材料から形成された基板3と、例えば液晶ポリマーのような絶縁材料からなる厚みが約2mmの絶縁部材4とを貼り合わせて形成される。
【0047】
基板3は厚みが約3mmのアルミ板に切削加工を施すことによって形成され、基板3における絶縁部材4側の面には、直径が約1mmで高さが約0.9mmの略円柱状の突台部11が突設されている。
【0048】
絶縁部材4における基板3と反対側の面には、基板3の突台部11に対応する部位に凹所5’が形成されており、凹所5’の底には絶縁部材4を貫通する貫通孔6が形成されている。ここで、貫通孔6の孔径は約1mmであり、突台部11の外径と略同じになっている。また、凹所5’の底面の内径は約2mmであり、凹所5’の側壁は基板3側から遠ざかるにしたがって内径が大きくなり、約45度の角度で傾斜するような断面形状に形成されている。ここに、凹所5’と貫通孔6とで、基板3と対向する絶縁部材4の部位に絶縁部材4を貫通して設けられた孔が構成され、凹所5’の底部には内側に突出する張出部4aが基板3と一体に形成されている。
【0049】
ここで、基板3及び絶縁部材4は貫通孔6と突台部11とを嵌合させた状態で接合されており、貫通孔6から露出する突台部11の部位には厚さが約0.2mmのLEDチップ2が、銀ペーストのようなダイボンディングペースト7を用いてダイボンドされている。また絶縁部材4における基板3と反対側の面には、銅などの導電材料からなる配線パターン8が形成され、その表面には金めっきを施してある。配線パターン8は凹所5’の側壁及び底面まで延設されており、凹所5’の底面(張出部4a)に延設された配線パターン8の部位とLEDチップ2の上面に形成された電極との間は、例えば金のような金属細線からなるボンディングワイヤ9を介して電気的に接続されている。
【0050】
その後、凹所5’の内部に透光性を有する2液硬化型注型用エポキシ樹脂のような封止樹脂10を注入することによって、LEDチップ2とボンディングワイヤ9とが樹脂封止され、ボンディングワイヤ9の接続部が封止樹脂10によって保護される。ここで、封止樹脂10を注入する際には、絶縁部材4の上面まで注入すれば良く、封止樹脂10の注入量を容易に制御することができる。しかも、ボンディングワイヤ9は、張出部4a上に延設された配線パターン8の部位に接続されており、凹所5’内に納められているので、凹所5’内に充填された封止樹脂10によってボンディングワイヤ9とその接続部位とを樹脂封止することができ、ボンディングワイヤ9が封止樹脂10から外側に露出することによって機械的強度が低下したり、封止樹脂10の表面で発生する応力によってボンディングワイヤ9が断線する虞はない。
【0051】
また本実施形態の光源装置1では、LEDチップ2が熱伝導性の良好な基板3上に直接ダイボンドされているから、基本構成で説明した光源装置1と同様、十分な放熱性能を得ることができ、LEDチップ2の温度上昇が抑制されるから、LEDチップ2の発光効率が向上すると共に、光出力が増加し、且つ、長寿命化を図ることができる。
【0052】
さらに本実施形態の光源装置1では基板3に突台部11を形成しているので、基板3及び絶縁部材4の接合方向において、LEDチップ2の上面と張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8の高さとを略同じ高さにしたとしても、突台部11の高さ分だけ張出部4aの厚みを厚くすることができる。ここで、絶縁部材4を樹脂から形成する場合、張出部4aの厚みを薄くすると歩留まりが増加するなどして、張出部4aの加工が難しくなる。また、基板3と絶縁部材4とを貼り合わせて形成する場合、張出部4aの厚みが薄いと、基板3との間に隙間が生じる虞がある。それに対して、本実施形態の光源装置1では張出部4aの幅寸法が約0.5mmであるのに対して、厚みが約1mmとなっているので、張出部4aを容易に加工することができ、また基板3との間に隙間を生じることなく、基板3及び絶縁部材4を貼り合わせることができる。
【0053】
また、基本構成で説明した光源装置1と同様、LEDチップ2の上面と、凹所5’の底面(張出部4a)に形成された配線パターン8の部位とは略同じ高さになっているので、ボンディングワイヤ9の長さを短くして、ボンディングワイヤ9の機械的強度を高めることができ、且つ、ボンディング作業を容易に行えるという利点もある。また、凹所5’の側壁をテーパ面としているので、LEDチップ2から放射された光が凹所5’の側壁によって吸収されたり、乱反射されることはなく、効率良く前方へ反射させることができる。
【0054】
(実施形態
本発明の実施形態を図3(a)を参照して説明する。本実施形態の光源装置1では、実施形態の光源装置1において、基板3に設けた突台部11の高さ寸法を約1.1mmとしており、突台部11の上面と張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8の上面との高さを略同じにしている。尚、突台部11以外の構成は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する。
【0055】
実施形態の光源装置1では、LEDチップ2から放射された光の内、LEDチップ2の上面と略平行な方向(水平方向)に放射された光の一部は、張出部4aの端面によって吸収されたり、乱反射されるなどして、前方へ放射されなくなり発光効率が低下する虞がある。それに対して、本実施形態の光源装置1では、突台部11の上面と、張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8の上面との高さを略同じ高さにしており、LEDチップ2は略平坦な面にダイボンディングされているので、LEDチップ2から放射された光が張出部4aの端面に吸収されたり、乱反射される虞はなく、発光効率を向上させることができる。
【0056】
尚、図3(b)に示すように、突台部11の上面を、張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8よりも上方へ突出させても良く、上述と同様に、LEDチップ2の光が張出部4aの端面に吸収されたり、乱反射される虞はなく、発光効率を向上させることができる。尚、突台部11の突出量が大きくなりすぎると、ボンディングワイヤ9のワイヤ長が長くなって、ボンディングワイヤ9が突台部11の角に接触する虞があるため、突台部11の高さは、突台部11の上面と張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8の上面とが略面一になるような高さか、又は、突台部11の上面が張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8の上面よりも若干高くなるような高さに形成するのが望ましい。
【0057】
(実施形態
本発明の実施形態を図4(a)を参照して説明する。本実施形態では、実施形態の光源装置1において、基板3に設けた突台部11の直径を約0.5mm、高さ寸法を約1.1mmとしており、突台部11の上面と張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8の上面との高さを略同じにしている。尚、基板3及びLEDチップ2の配置以外は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する。
【0058】
LEDチップ2は透明なサファイア基板からなり、電極間距離が約1mmのものを用いており、LEDチップ2を突台部11と対向させ、突台部11が電極間に位置するようにして、LEDチップ2の電極面を配線パターン8にフェースダウン実装した。ここで、LEDチップ2と配線パターン8とは以下のような方法で接合した。すなわち、LEDチップ2の電極上に半田バンプ21を形成し、リフロー炉で加熱して半田バンプ21を溶融させることにより接合した。なお半田バンプ21の高さは2〜3μmであり、基板3とLEDチップ2の電極面もこの間隔で離れているため電気的絶縁は保たれる。また封止樹脂10が基板3とLEDチップ2との隙間に充填されるが、基板3とLEDチップ2との間の距離は十分短いため、LEDチップ2は基板3に熱結合されており、LEDチップ2から基板3への熱伝導に対しては大きな障害とはならない。
【0059】
また実施形態で説明した光源装置1では、LEDチップ2の電極が凹所5’の開口部側を向いているので、LEDチップ2から外部へと向かう光の一部はLEDチップ2の電極によって遮られる。遮られた光の一部は反射を繰り返して外部へと取り出されるが、残りは内部で吸収されてロスとなる。それに対して、本実施形態では、LEDチップ2の電極が基板3側に配置されており、LEDチップ2の発光部からの発光は透明なサファイア基板を通じて取り出されるため、LEDチップ2の電極やボンディングワイヤ9によって発光の一部が遮蔽されることがなく、全体として光量が低下するのを防止できる。また、実施形態の光源装置1にレンズなどの光学部品を組み合わせて使用する場合、焦点距離によってはLEDチップ2の電極の形状が影として照射面に投影される問題があるが、本実施形態では電極が基板3側に配置されているので、前面が均一な照射面とすることができる。さらに、実施形態で説明したように、LEDチップ2から放射された光が張出部4aの端面に吸収されたり、乱反射される虞はなく、発光効率を向上させることができる。
【0060】
なお、図4(b)に示すように、突台部11の上面を、張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8よりも約3μm上方へ突出させ、LEDチップ2を突台部11上面に接触させた状態でフェースダウン実装しても良く、LEDチップ2を突台部11と直接接触させることによって放熱性を向上させることができる。但し、この場合には突台部11の上面、又は、突台部11の上面と接触するLEDチップ2の部位を酸化珪素などの絶縁性材料でコーティングするなどしてLEDチップ2と基板3とを絶縁するか、或いは、基板3の材料として電気導電性の無い材料を用いる必要がある。また、突台部11と配線パターン8との段差を吸収するために、半田バンプ21の高さを高くするのが望ましく、LEDチップ2の電極と配線パターン8との電気的接続を確実にできる。
【0061】
ここで、光源装置1の構造を図4(b)に示す構造とした場合にも、上述と同様、LEDチップ2から放射された光が張出部4aの端面に吸収されたり、乱反射される虞はなく、発光効率を向上させることができる。
【0062】
(実施形態
本発明の実施形態を図5を参照して説明する。本実施形態の光源装置1では、実施形態の光源装置1において、基板3の下面における突台部11に対応する部位に凹所12を設けている。尚、凹所12以外の構成は実施形態の光源装置1と同様であるので、実施形態と同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する。
【0063】
実施形態の光源装置1では、基板3に切削加工を施すことによって突台部11を形成しているが、本実施形態の光源装置1では、基板3を一面から打ち出してプレス加工を施し、凹所12を形成することによって、基板3の反対側の面に突台部11を形成しており、切削加工を施す場合に比べて加工費用を低減できる。
【0064】
また、基板3と絶縁部材4とを接着剤を用いて貼り合わせる場合、接着剤の硬化収縮によって基板3及び絶縁部材4全体が反ってしまう虞がある。一方、プレス加工により突台部11を形成すると、接着剤の硬化収縮によって反る方向とは逆方向の反りが基板3に発生するので、両者の反りを相殺することによって基板3及び絶縁部材4全体の反りを抑えることができる。
【0065】
この光源装置1では、LEDチップ2の発熱はダイボンディングペースト7を介して基板3の突台部11に伝わる。突台部11の裏面には凹所12が形成されているが、基板3は一体に形成されているので、突台部11に伝わったLEDチップ2の発熱は、速やかに基板3全体に伝わり、外部へ放熱される。また、基板3は、光源装置1が取り付けられる筐体や放熱フィンなどの放熱部品に接触させた状態で使用されるため、LEDチップ2の発熱は基板3を介して速やかに放熱部品へ放出されることになり、その放熱性能は凹所12が形成されていない場合と略同様である。
【0066】
(実施形態
本発明の実施形態を図6を参照して説明する。実施形態の光源装置1では、基板3に切削加工を施すことにより突台部11を形成しているが、本実施形態の光源装置1では、突台部11を形成する代わりに、熱伝導性を有する材料から形成されたベース板3’における絶縁部材4の貫通孔6に対応する部位に、貫通孔6に連通する断面略円形の連通孔13を形成し、この連通孔13内に例えばアルミニウムのような熱伝導性を有する材料から形成された円柱状の熱伝導体(突起部)14を圧入している。ここに、ベース板3’と熱伝導体14とで基板が構成され、ベース板3’の表面から絶縁部材4側に突出する熱伝導体14の先端部から突台部が構成され、熱伝導体14の先端部は貫通孔6内に挿入され、熱伝導体14の先端部にLEDチップ2がダイボンディングペースト7を用いてダイボンドされる。尚、ベース板3’及び熱伝導体14以外の構成は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する。
【0067】
実施形態の光源装置では、金属板に切削加工を施すことによって基板3に突台部11を形成しているので、加工費用が高くなるが本実施形態では、ベース板3’に孔開け加工を施し、孔内に熱伝導体14を圧入することによって、突台部を形成しているので、切削加工によって突台部11を形成する場合に比べて、加工費用を低減することができる。
【0068】
またベース板3’の裏面に、光源装置が取り付けられる筐体や放熱フィンなどの放熱部品を接触させて使用する場合を考えると、LEDチップ2の発熱はダイボンディングペースト7を介して熱伝導体14に伝わる。ここで、熱伝導体14は、ベース板3’を貫通する連通孔13内に圧入され、ベース板3’の裏面まで達しているので、LEDチップ2の発熱は熱伝導体14を通じて速やかに裏面側に伝わり、放熱部品へと放出される。また、熱伝導体14はベース板3’の連通孔13内に圧入されており、熱伝導体14とベース板3’とは密着しているので、両者の間では十分な熱伝導が行われ、熱伝導体14に伝わった熱はベース板3’全体に速やかに放出されるから、基板3に突台部11を一体に形成した実施形態の光源装置と同様の放熱特性を得ることができる。
【0069】
(実施形態
本発明の実施形態を図7を参照して説明する。本実施形態の光源装置1では、実施形態の光源装置1において、基板3に設けた突台部11の周面と、絶縁部材4に設けた貫通孔6の端面との間に隙間15を設けている。また、絶縁部材4における基板3側の面(接合面)に位置決め用の凹所16を形成するとともに、凹所16と凹凸係止する凸部17を基板3の上面(接合面)に設けている。尚、隙間15、凹所16、凸部17以外は実施形態の光源装置1と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する。
【0070】
ここで、基板3及び絶縁部材4を接着剤で貼り合わせて形成する場合、余分な接着剤が接着面からはみ出す虞があり、実施形態の光源装置ではLEDチップ2がダイボンドされる部位のすぐ近傍に接着剤がはみ出すため、LEDチップ2から放射される光の一部が接着剤によって遮光される虞がある。また、はみ出した接着剤が突台部11の先端面に付着して、LEDチップ2をダイボンドできなくなる虞もあるが、本実施形態の光源装置では、突台部11と張出部4aとの間に隙間15を設けており、接着面からはみ出した接着剤は隙間15に溜まるため、LEDチップ2がダイボンドされる部位の近傍に余分な接着剤がはみ出して、LEDチップ2から放射される光が遮光されたり、LEDチップ2をダイボンドできなくなるのを防止できる。
【0071】
また、基板3に設けた凸部17と、絶縁部材4に設けた凹所16とを凹凸係止することによって、基板3と絶縁部材4との位置合わせを行うことができ、基板3及び絶縁部材4を貼り合わせる際の位置決めが容易に行える。尚、本実施形態では基板3に設けた凸部17と、絶縁部材4に設けた凹所16とで、基板3と絶縁部材4との位置決めを行うための位置決め手段を構成しているが、位置決め手段を凸部17と凹所16とに限定する趣旨のものではなく、適宜の手段を用いて基板3と絶縁部材4との位置決めを行うようにすれば良い。
【0072】
(実施形態
本発明の実施形態を図8を参照して説明する。本実施形態では、実施形態の光源装置1において、絶縁部材4の基板3側の面に貫通孔6を中心として半径約1mmの位置に幅約0.5mm、深さ約0.3mmのリング状の溝4dを設けている。尚、溝4d以外の構成は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
【0073】
ここで、基板3と絶縁部材4とを接着剤で貼り合わせて接合する場合、余分な接着剤が接着面からはみ出す虞があり、実施形態の光源装置1ではLEDチップ2がダイボンドされる部位のすぐ近傍に接着剤がはみ出すため、LEDチップ2から放射される光の一部が接着剤によって遮光される虞がある。また、はみ出した接着剤が突台部11の先端面に付着して、LEDチップ2をダイボンドできなくなる虞もある。それに対して、本実施形態の光源装置1では、突台部11が嵌合される貫通孔6の周囲に溝4dが形成されているため、余分な接着剤22はこの溝4d内に溜まり、貫通孔6を通って突台部11近傍にはみ出すのを防止できる。
【0074】
また、接着剤22の塗布にムラがある場合、基板3と絶縁部材4との接合面に接着剤22が不足する部位が発生して隙間ができ、封止樹脂10を充填する際にこの隙間を通って封止樹脂10が漏れ出す虞があるが、本実施形態では、貫通孔6の周りに溝4dを形成しており、溝4d内に溜まった接着剤22が封止樹脂10の流出を防止する堰の役割を果たすため、封止樹脂10の流出を防止できる。
【0075】
(実施形態
本発明の実施形態を図9を参照して説明する。本実施形態では、実施形態の光源装置1において、基板3の材料として例えば銅のような導電性材料を用い、突台部11の上面に金のめっき層を形成している。また、配線パターン8は凹所5’内に1電極分のみを形成しており、LEDチップ2を、突台部11と張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8とに跨る位置に、一方の電極を突台部11の上面と接触させるとともに、他方の電極を張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8と接触させるようにしてフェースダウン実装している。尚、LEDチップ2の実装方法以外は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
【0076】
本実施形態の光源装置1では、実施形態と同様、LEDチップ2の電極が基板3側に配置されており、LEDチップ2の電極によって発光の一部が遮蔽されることがなく、全体として光量が低下するのを防止できる。また、実施形態で説明したように、LEDチップ2から放射された光が張出部4aの端面に吸収されたり、乱反射される虞はなく、発光効率を向上させることができる。さらに、本実施形態では配線パターン8と基板3との間に電源Eと電流制限用の抵抗Rとを接続することによって、LEDチップ2に給電することができ、基板3を給電部の一部として利用しているため、凹所5’内へ延伸する配線パターン8を簡略化することができる。また、基板3を通じて裏面側に配線が引き出されるのと同じ効果があるため、光源装置1の電力を基板3の裏面側から供給することができる。
【0077】
なお、本実施形態の光源装置1では、LEDチップ2をフェースダウン実装しているが、LEDチップ2をフェースアップでダイボンディング実装し、ボンディングワイヤを介してLEDチップ2の電極と配線パターン8及び基板3とを電気的に接続するようにしても良い。
【0078】
(実施形態
本発明の実施形態を図10を参照して説明する。実施形態の光源装置1では基板3にLEDチップ2を1個実装しているが、本実施形態では複数(例えば2個)のLEDチップ2を基板3に実装している。また、基板3に互いに電気的に絶縁された複数の基板部(領域)3a,3bを設けており、各基板部3a,3bにそれぞれLEDチップ2を1個づつ実装している。尚、基本的な構造は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
【0079】
ところで、実施形態の光源装置1では、基板3の材料として導電性材料を用いており、基板3は全体が同電位となっているので、基板3に複数のLEDチップ2を実装した場合、これらのLEDチップ2は全て並列に接続されることになる。LEDチップ2は個体ごとに若干駆動電圧が異なるため、複数のLEDチップ2を並列接続した場合は、駆動電圧が最も低いLEDチップ2に多大な電流が流れて、このLEDチップ2が破損する虞がある。複数のLEDチップ2に流れる電流を均一にするためには、個々のLEDチップ2毎に電流制限用の抵抗を直列接続すれば良いが、LEDチップ2の数だけ電流制限用の抵抗が必要になり、電流制限用の抵抗で消費される電力損失が増大するという問題がある。
【0080】
それに対して、本実施形態では基板3を互いに電気的に絶縁された複数の基板部3a,3bに分割し、各基板部3a,3bにLEDチップ2,2を1個づつ実装しているので、各基板部3a,3bに実装されたLEDチップ2,2を直列接続し、LEDチップ2,2の直列回路と並列に電流制限用の抵抗Rを介して直流電源Eを接続することにより、個々のLEDチップ2に流れる電流を均一にできる。したがって、特定のLEDチップ2に集中して電流が流れることがないから、電流集中によるLEDチップ2の破損を防止でき、また電流制限用抵抗Rが複数のLEDチップ2に対して1個で済むから、電流制限用の抵抗Rによって発生する電力損失を低減できる。
【0081】
また本実施形態の光源装置1では、実施形態と同様、LEDチップ2の電極が基板3側に配置されており、LEDチップ2の電極によって発光の一部が遮蔽されることがなく、全体として光量が低下するのを防止できる。また、実施形態で説明したように、LEDチップ2から放射された光が張出部4aの端面に吸収されたり、乱反射される虞はなく、発光効率を向上させることができる。さらに、本実施形態では配線パターン8と基板3との間に電源Eと電流制限用の抵抗Rとを接続することによって、LEDチップ2に給電することができ、基板3を給電部の一部として利用しているため、凹所5’内へ延伸する配線パターンを簡略化することができる。また、基板3を通じて裏面側に配線が引き出されるのと同じ効果があるため、光源装置1の電力を基板3の裏面側から供給することができる。
【0082】
(実施形態10
本発明の実施形態10を図11を参照して説明する。実施形態の光源装置1では、絶縁部材4に設けた凹所5’内に封止樹脂10を注入し(注型)、LEDチップ2やボンディングワイヤ9を封止しているが、本実施形態の光源装置1では、実施形態の光源装置において、金型を用いたトランスファー成形によって樹脂封止を行っており、封止樹脂10の表面に凸レンズ10aを形成している。尚、封止樹脂10以外の構成は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する。
【0083】
実施形態の光源装置1のように注型により樹脂封止を行う場合は、封止樹脂10の表面を所望の形状に形成することはできないが、本実施形態の光源装置1では、基板3及び絶縁部材4ごと金型(図示せず)内に組み込み、圧入によって封止樹脂10を押し込むトランスファー成形により樹脂封止を行っているので、封止樹脂10の表面を凸レンズの形状に容易に形成することができ、封止樹脂10から構成される凸レンズによってLEDチップ2から放射された光を、LEDチップ2の前方の所望の方向に配光することができる。
【0084】
尚、本実施形態では封止樹脂10の表面を凸レンズの形状に形成しているが、封止樹脂10の表面を凹レンズの形状に形成しても良く、凹レンズにより拡散光放射を行うようにしても良い。また、注型により樹脂封止を行う場合でも、凹所5’の内側面の面粗さや、形状や、表面処理などの条件を用いて、凹所5’の内側面と封止樹脂10との濡れ性を制御することによって、封止樹脂10の表面形状を制御することも可能であり、一般に濡れ性が良い場合は封止樹脂10の表面形状は凹面となり、濡れ性が悪い場合は封止樹脂10の表面形状は凸面となる。
【0085】
(実施形態11
本発明の実施形態11を図12(a)(b)を参照して説明する。図12(a)は光源装置1の断面図、図12(b)は光源装置1の平面図をそれぞれ示す。本実施形態では、実施形態の光源装置1において、絶縁部材4に形成した凹所5’の内面全体に、例えば銀のような導電性の高い材料により形成された高反射率の反射膜(反射部)18を形成している。反射膜18は配線パターン8,8に連続して形成されており、配線パターン8の延びる方向と直交する方向に延びる幅狭(例えば幅約0.2mm)のスリット24によって2つの部位に分割され、それぞれの部位は電気的に絶縁されている。そして、突台部11の上面に実装されたLEDチップ2の電極と各反射膜18,18とをボンディングワイヤ9によって電気的に接続している。尚、反射膜18以外の構成は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
【0086】
本実施形態の光源装置1では、LEDチップ2から放射された光は、一部が封止樹脂10を透過して直接外部へ放射されると共に、一部が反射膜18によって反射され外部へ放射される。絶縁部材4の表面よりも、反射膜18の方が反射率が高いため、実施形態の光源装置1に比べて外部へと取り出される発光の割合が高くなる。さらに、本実施形態の光源装置1では、配線パターン8の一部で反射膜18を兼用しているため、凹所5’内に配線パターン8と反射膜18とを別々に形成する場合に比べて、配線パターン又は反射膜の形状を簡略化できる。尚、ボンディングワイヤ9をワイヤボンディングするためには、反射膜18を材料を金とするのが望ましいが、反射膜18を金により形成した場合は、青色発光のLEDチップ2から放射される青色光を吸収してしまうため、本実施形態では反射膜18の材料として銀を用いている。
【0087】
(実施形態12
本発明の実施形態12を図13(a)(b)を参照して説明する。実施形態の光源装置1では、絶縁部材4における基板3と反対側の面に、突台部11の直径と略同じ幅の配線パターン8,8を、突台部11を通る同一直線上に形成しており、LEDチップ2の上面に設けた電極と各配線パターン8との間をボンディングワイヤ9を介して電気的に接続している。それに対して、本実施形態の光源装置1では、実施形態の光源装置において、各配線パターン8の幅寸法を突台部11の直径に比べて十分小さい幅寸法(例えば約0.5mm)とし、LEDチップ2の電極と各配線パターン8との間を接続するボンディングワイヤ9の延びる方向に、各配線パターン8を延長して形成している。そして、凹所5’の内側面および底面における配線パターン8以外の部位に、例えば銀から形成された高反射率の反射膜(反射部)18を形成している。尚、配線パターン8及び反射膜18以外の構成は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する。
【0088】
この光源装置1では、LEDチップ2から放射された光は、一部が封止樹脂10を透過して直接外部へ放射されると共に、一部が反射膜18によって反射され外部へ放射される。
【0089】
ところで、実施形態の光源装置1では、LEDチップ2から放射された光の一部はボンディングワイヤ9によって遮光される。また凹所5’の内側面および底面に形成された配線パターン8には、ワイヤーボンディングを容易に行えるようにするため、表面に金めっきを施しているが、青色発光や緑色発光のLEDチップ2を用いる場合、金のめっき層はこれらの光に対して反射率が低いため、光源装置1の光出力が低下するという問題があった。
【0090】
それに対して、本実施形態では、反射率の低い配線パターン8の幅寸法を狭くすると共に、ボンディングワイヤ9の延びる方向に配線パターン8を形成しているので、ボンディングワイヤ9の影となる部分と配線パターン8とを一致させることによって、LEDチップ2からの光が遮光される部位の面積を小さくできる。また、凹所5’の内側面および底面における配線パターン8以外の部位に反射膜18を形成しているので、LEDチップ2からの光を効率良く反射させることができ、光取り出し効率を向上させることができる。
【0091】
(実施形態13
本発明の実施形態13を図14を参照して説明する。本実施形態の光源装置1では、実施形態の光源装置において、LEDチップ2として青色発光のLEDチップを用いると共に、封止樹脂10’の中にLEDチップ2の青色発光により励起され補色である黄色発光を行う蛍光体粒子を分散させており、封止樹脂10’に光色変換機能を持たせている。尚、封止樹脂10’以外の構成は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
【0092】
この光源装置1では、LEDチップ2からの青色発光と、蛍光体粒子によって一部変換された黄色光との混色によって、白色光を得ることができる。砲弾型発光ダイオードの場合は、初期光束の70%にまで低下する寿命が約6000時間程度と短いが、本実施形態の光源装置1では、LEDチップ2の放熱性を高めることにより、砲弾型発光ダイオードに比べて著しく寿命を延ばすことができ、長寿命の白色発光ダイオードを実現することができる。
【0093】
(実施形態14
本発明の実施形態14を図15を参照して説明する。本実施形態の光源装置1では、実施形態13の光源装置において凹所5’の側面形状を2段構造としている。すな わち、凹所5’の内側面には、凹所5’の底面側から開口側に行くにしたがって内径が徐々に大きくなり、約45度の角度で傾斜するようなテーパ面4bが形成され、テーパ面4bの先端部から開口部にかけて、LEDチップ2からの光を所望の方向に反射して集光できるような断面形状を有する反射面4cが形成されている。また、絶縁部材4における基板3と反対側の面には、一対の配線パターン8が突台部11を通る同一直線上に形成されており、反射面4cにおける配線パターン8以外の部位には、例えば銀などの高反射率の材料から形成された反射膜18が形成されている。そして、凹所5’内にはテーパ面4bの先端部に達するまで封止樹脂10’が注入されている。尚、凹所5’の側面形状以外の構成は実施形態13と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
【0094】
この光源装置1では、凹所5’の1段目から外部へと取り出される光は、封止樹脂10’中に蛍光体粒子が分散されているため、完全拡散配光となっており、1段目から放射された光は非常に配光制御しやすくなっているので、2段目の反射面4cの形状を変更することによって、LEDチップ2からの光を所望の方向に配光することができる。
【0095】
(実施形態15
本発明の実施形態15を図16を参照して説明する。本実施形態の光源装置1は、実施形態で説明した光源装置1と同様の構造を有しており、実施形態では基板3にLEDチップ2を1個実装しているが、本実施形態では基板3にLEDチップ2を2個実装し、2個のLEDチップ2を配線パターン8を介して直列に接続している。尚、光源装置1の基本的な構成は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
【0096】
ところで、一般に光源装置1としては発光部分以外の部位の面積を小さくするのが望ましいが、実施形態で説明した光源装置1の場合、配線パターン8における絶縁部材4の上面に形成された部位を外部電源に接続するための通電部としており、通電部が発光の取り出し面側に位置しているため、通電部に通電するためのコネクタなどの部品を光源装置1の前面(発光面)側に配置する必要があり、これらの部品を配置するために発光部分以外の部位の面積が増加するという問題があった。
【0097】
そこで、本実施形態の光源装置1では、絶縁部材4に設けた3個の配線パターン8の内、一方のLEDチップ2のみに電気的に接続された両側の配線パターン8における絶縁部材4の上面(前面)に形成された平坦部8cに対応する基板3の部位に基板3を貫通する開口孔3cを設けており、この開口孔3cから露出する絶縁部材4の部位に絶縁部材4と配線パターン8とを貫通する貫通孔4eを設けている。そして、この貫通孔4e内に、導電材料から略棒状に形成された電極ピン23を絶縁部材4の上側から挿入して、電極ピン23の先端部を基板3の下面から突出させており、電極ピン23の先端を被固定部に固定すると、電極ピン23と配線パターン8とが電気的に接続された状態で光源装置1が被固定部に固定される。尚、貫通孔4eの孔径は開口孔3cの孔径よりも小さい寸法に形成されている。
【0098】
上述のように本実施形態では、配線パターン8に電気的に接続された電極ピン23によって配線部の一部を基板側に向かって延伸させており、基板側に延伸された部分(すなわち電極ピン23の先端部)を外部接続端子として、外部から給電することによって、基板3側からLEDチップ2に給電することができる。したがって、コネクタなどの給電部品を基板3側(発光面と反対側)に配置することができ、発光の取り出し側から見た時に発光部分以外の部位の面積が全体に占める割合を低減でき、光源装置1の小型化を図るとともに、同じ面積であれば発光出力を大きくすることができる。

(実施形態16
本発明の実施形態16を図17を参照して説明する。本実施形態では、実施形態で説明した光源装置1において、基板3の突台部11を除いた部分を直径が約5mm、高さが約10mmの円柱形状として、上面略中央に突台部11を突設している。一方、絶縁部材4の平面形状を一辺が約10mmの正方形としており、絶縁部材4の前面側に形成した配線パターン8を側面を通って裏面側まで延伸し、裏面側に回り込むように延伸された部位を外部接続端子8dとしている。尚、基板3及び配線パターン8以外の構成は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
【0100】
図17は本実施形態の光源装置1を器具本体40に取り付けた状態を示している。器具本体40は、直径が約6mmの丸孔41が開口したガラスエポキシ製の配線基板42を備え、丸孔41内に光源装置1の基板3を挿入して、絶縁部材4の裏面側に延伸された外部接続端子8dを配線基板42の上面に形成された配線パターン43に半田付けすることによって、光源装置1が器具本体40に電気的且つ機械的に結合される。この時、丸孔41から下方に突出する基板3の下面が器具本体40の放熱部品44に熱結合されるので、光源装置1の放熱性が向上する。このように、基板3の下面を配線基板42とは別に用意した放熱部品44と接触させ、放熱部品44を介してLEDチップ2の発熱を放熱しているので、配線基板42には熱伝導性は低いものの安価なガラスエポキシ基板を用いることができ、コストダウンを図ることができる。

なお、本実施形態では基板3にLEDチップ2を1個だけ実装しているが、基板3に複数のLEDチップ2を実装しても良いことは言うまでもない。

(実施形態17
本発明の実施形態17を図18を参照して説明する。本実施形態では、実施形態の光源装置1において、基板3の突台部11を除いた部分を直径が約5mm、高さが約0.5mmの円柱形状として、上面略中央に突台部11を突設している。一方、絶縁部材4の平面形状を一辺が約20mmの正方形としており、基板3側の面に貫通孔6を中心とする直径が約5mm、深さが約0.5mmの凹部27を設けている。そして、絶縁部材4における凹部27の外側の部位であって、絶縁部材4の前面側に設けた配線パターン8に対応する部位に絶縁部材4を貫通するスルーホール28を設け、スルーホール28内に導電材料を充填して形成された導電部8eを介して絶縁部材4の前面側に形成された配線パターン8と裏面側に形成された接続端子8fとを電気的に接続している。尚、基板3、絶縁部材4及び配線パターン8以外の構成は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
【0103】
図18は本実施形態の光源装置1を器具本体の配線基板42に実装した状態を示している。ここで、基板3の下面と絶縁部材4の下面とが略面一になるよう各部の寸法関係が設定されており、基板3を配線基板42上に載置すると、絶縁部材4に設けた接続端子8fが配線基板42に設けた配線パターン43に電気的に接続されるので、配線基板42からLEDチップ2に給電することができる。したがって、この光源装置1を配線基板42に取り付けるにあたり、光源装置1を配線基板42のパターン面にそのまま実装することができ、しかも基板3の下面が配線基板42と接触するので、光源装置1の放熱を配線基板42を通じて放出することができ、放熱性の良好な表面実装形の光源装置1を実現できる。

本発明の実施形態18を図19を参照して説明する。実施形態の光源装置1では基板3の一面のみにLEDチップ2を実装しているが、本実施形態の光源装置1では基板3の両面にLEDチップ2を実装している。尚、基板3の両面にLEDチップ2を実装している点以外は実施形態と同様であるので、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
【0106】
この光源装置1では、基板3の両面に各2個の突台部11を突設している。絶縁部材4における基板3の突台部11に対応する部位には、基板3と反対側の面に開放された凹所5’が形成されており、凹所5’の底には絶縁部材4を貫通する貫通孔6が形成されている。ここで、貫通孔6の孔径は約1mmであり、突台部11の外径と略同じになっている。また凹所5’の底面の内径は約2mmであり、凹所5’の側壁は基板3側から遠ざかるにしたがって内径が大きくなり、約45度の角度で傾斜するような断面形状に形成されている。
【0107】
ここで、基板3及び絶縁部材4,4は貫通孔6と突台部11とを嵌合させた状態で接合されており、貫通孔6から露出する突台部11の部位には厚さが約0.2mmのLEDチップ2が、銀ペーストのようなダイボンディングペースト7を用いてダイボンドされている。また絶縁部材4における基板3と反対側の面には、銅などの導電材料からなる配線パターン8が形成され、その表面には金めっきを施してある。配線パターン8は凹所5’の側壁及び底面まで延設されており、凹所5’の底面を構成する張出部4aに形成された配線パターン8とLEDチップ2の上面に形成された電極との間は、例えば金のような金属細線からなるボンディングワイヤ9を介して電気的に接続されている。
【0108】
上述のように、本実施形態の光源装置1では、絶縁部材4とLEDチップ2と配線パターン8と封止樹脂10とが基板3の両面に設けられているので、LEDチップ2の発光を基板3の両面に放射させることができる。また、基板3の両面に同じ部品が配置されているので、基板3の反りを抑制することもできる。

絶縁部材4として例えば液晶ポリマー、ポリフタルアミド、ポリフタルサルフォン、エポキシ、シンジオタクチックポリスチレン(以下SPSと記す)、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(以下PBTと記す)などの絶縁材料から形成されたMID(Molded Interconnect Device)を用いており、射出成形或いはトランスファー成形によって凹所5’及び貫通孔6を形成している(図20(a)参照)。そして、絶縁部材4の表面全体に、真空蒸着、DCスパッタリング法、或いは、RFスパッタリング法を用いて膜厚が例えば0.3μmの銅薄膜を形成する。次に、銅薄膜を形成した基板3の表面にレーザ等の電磁波を照射して、電磁波を照射した部分のめっき下地層を除去する。尚、この時照射するレーザとしては、第2或いは第3高調波YAGレーザ、YAGレーザなどめっき下地材の吸収が良いものが好ましく、例えばガルバノミラーで走査することによって、回路部(配線パターン8)以外の絶縁スペースとなる部位(以下、非回路部と言う)に照射されるものであり、少なくとも非回路部における回路部との境界部分に非回路部のパターンに沿って照射することにより、非回路部における回路部との境界領域のめっき下地層を除去するものである。その後、回路部に給電して、電気銅めっき、電気ニッケルめっき、電気銀めっきなどを行い、所定の膜厚の金属膜を形成した配線パターン8を形成した後、非回路部をソフトエッチングなどで除去する(図20(b)参照)。尚、電気銀めっきの代わりに電気金めっきを施しても良く、光の反射効率や配線作業性を考慮してめっきの材料や厚みを適宜決定すれば良い。

次に、アルミニウム、銀、銅など熱伝導性の良好な材料から形成された基板3を、エポキシ樹脂やアクリル樹脂などの接着剤を用いて、絶縁部材4の下面に貼り付ける(図20(c)参照)。この時、絶縁部材4の貫通孔6に対応する基板3の部位に予め突台部11を形成しておくのが望ましい。また、接着剤を用い基板3及び絶縁部材4を貼り合わせる代わりに、突台部11を貫通孔6に圧入することによって、基板3及び絶縁部材4を結合するようにしても良い。
【0112】
その後、絶縁部材4に設けた貫通孔6から露出する基板3の部位に、青色LEDチップ2を透光性を有する接着剤を用いてダイボンドし、直径が例えば25μmの金のボンディングワイヤ9を用いてワイヤボンディングを行う(図20(d)参照)。

従来の光源装置では絶縁部材に切削加工を施してLEDチップ2の実装部位を形成しているため、加工費用が高く、しかもLEDチップ2の実装部位に切削傷ができるなどして面粗度が粗くなるため、LEDチップ2のボンディング作業がやりにくいという問題があるが、本実施形態では、上述のように基板3と絶縁部材4とを接合し、絶縁部材4の貫通孔6から露出する基板3の部位にLEDチップ2を実装しているので、加工費用を低減でき、またLEDチップ2の実装部位が平坦であり、且つ、絶縁部材4がMIDにより構成されているから、ボンディングワイヤ9が接続されるパッド面が平坦で平面度が良く、LEDチップ2を容易に実装できる。また、ボンディングワイヤ9は凹所5’内に納められるので、凹所5’内に充填した封止樹脂10’からボンディングワイヤ9がはみ出ることはなく、ボンディングワイヤ9が断線する確率が少なくなり、信頼性が向上する。

【0142】
請求項の発明は、請求項1乃至の発明において、基板と絶縁部材との位置決めを行うための位置決め手段を基板と絶縁部材との接合面に設けたことを特徴とし、位置決め手段により基板と絶縁部材との位置決めを行うことができ、基板と絶縁部材との接合作業を容易に行えるという効果がある。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention relates to a light source device using a light emitting diode.In placeIt is related.
[0002]
[Prior art]
  As this type of light source device, one using a bullet-type light emitting diode as shown in FIG. 24 has been conventionally provided, and a single light emitting diode is used or a plurality of light emitting diodes are mounted on the substrate 30. Some were used in an array.
[0003]
  In the bullet-type light emitting diode, the LED chip 2 is die-bonded using a die bonding paste 7 such as silver paste or epoxy resin on a recess 31 a provided in a metal lead frame 31, and the LED chip 2 is formed on the upper surface of the LED chip 2. After wire bonding between the provided electrode portion (not shown) and the lead frames 31 and 32 with a bonding wire 9 made of a thin metal wire such as gold, the lead frames 31 and 32 are made with a light-transmitting sealing resin 33. The LED chip 2 and the bonding wire 9 are sealed.
[0004]
  Here, an epoxy resin is mainly used as the sealing resin 33, and the sealing resin 33 has the following three functions. First, the sealing resin 33 has a protective function for protecting components from mechanical shocks and protecting the LED chip 2 from moisture. Further, since the refractive index of the light emitting part of the LED chip 2 is as high as about 2.8, total reflection occurs due to the difference in refractive index at the interface between the LED chip 2 surface and air, and the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip 2 is improved. Although there is a problem that it is low, the sealing resin 33 has a function of improving the light extraction efficiency from the LED chip 2 by covering the surface of the LED chip 2 with an epoxy resin having a refractive index of about 1.8. Furthermore, the sealing resin 33 has a light control function of collecting or diffusing light emitted from the LED chip 2 by the lens effect on the surface of the sealing resin 33.
[0005]
  The lead frames 31 and 32 have a function of supporting the LED chip 2 as a foundation when the LED chip 2 is die-bonded, and an LED chip having a mirror surface around the recess 31a where the LED chip 2 is die-bonded. 2 has a function of efficiently distributing light emitted from 2 forward, and a function of releasing heat generated by the LED chip 2 to the outside through the substrate 30 or the like by heat conduction.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
  By the way, in LED chip 2, in the normal use temperature range as a lighting fixture, luminous efficiency becomes high, so that it becomes low temperature, and luminous efficiency falls, so that it becomes high temperature. This is because non-radiative coupling between electrons and holes increases as lattice vibration increases due to temperature rise. In the light source device using a light emitting diode, the portion that generates heat is mainly the LED chip 2. Therefore, the heat generated in the LED chip 2 is quickly radiated to the outside, and the temperature of the LED chip 2 is reduced. This is a very important issue in improving luminous efficiency.
[0007]
  Moreover, since the temperature rise of the LED chip 2 itself can be suppressed by improving the heat dissipation characteristics from the LED chip 2 to the outside, the LED chip 2 can be used by passing a large forward current. The output can be increased. Furthermore, the effect of extending the lifetime of the LED chip 2 can be obtained by enhancing the heat dissipation characteristics.
[0008]
  In addition, as a reason which the lifetime of LED chip 2 is improved, the following two reasons can be considered. Similarly to a general lighting fixture, when the lifetime of the LED chip 2 is defined as a point in time when the luminous flux is reduced to about 70% at the beginning of lighting, the red light emitting diode is considered to have a lifetime of about 60,000 hours. For example, when a forward current greater than the rated current is applied to the LED chip 2 and the LED chip 2 is used in an overload state, the deterioration of the LED chip 2 is significantly accelerated by the heat generated by the LED chip 2 itself. Therefore, by improving the heat dissipation characteristics, the temperature rise of the LED chip 2 can be suppressed and the life of the LED chip 2 can be prevented from being shortened.
[0009]
  In addition, blue light emitting diodes and white light emitting diodes that use blue light emitting diodes to convert blue light from blue light emitting diodes into white light and output them have higher radiation energy than conventional red light emitting diodes, and therefore LED chips. The sealing resin 33 that seals 2 deteriorates due to the emitted light of the LED chip 2 and is colored brown. When the coloring of the sealing resin 33 starts, it becomes easier to absorb blue light and the coloring of the sealing resin 33 is further accelerated. As a result, the sealing resin 33 near the LED chip 2 is brown. Although the LED chip 2 itself maintains the light flux at the initial lighting, the light emitted from the sealing resin 33 to the outside is significantly reduced. Thus, when the sealing resin 33 is colored brown, in the case of a blue light emitting diode or a white light emitting diode, the lifetime is about 6000 hours, which is significantly shorter than that of a red light emitting diode. By the way, although the color reaction of the sealing resin 33 is a photochemical reaction, it is generally known that when the temperature of the sealing resin 33 increases, the reaction rate of the color reaction increases. By improving the heat dissipation characteristics to the outside, the temperature of the LED chip 2 and the sealing resin 33 can be reduced, and the color reaction of the sealing resin 33 due to the light emission of the LED chip 2 can be suppressed.
[0010]
  As described above, in the light source device using the light emitting diode, it is very important to improve the heat radiation characteristics to the outside from the LED chip 2 from the viewpoint of improving the light emission efficiency, increasing the light output, and extending the life. . However, in the bullet-type light emitting diode, there are two heat dissipation paths for releasing the heat generated by the LED chip 2, the path for releasing to the substrate 30 through the lead frame 31 and the path for releasing into the air through the sealing resin 33. In the path for radiating heat through the stop resin 33, the thermal conductivity of the epoxy resin is low, so that a sufficient heat dissipation effect cannot be obtained. Therefore, the heat dissipation path that radiates heat through the lead frame 31 is mainly used, but since the lead frame 31 itself is thin and the heat dissipation path is as long as about 7 to 10 mm, a larger heat dissipation effect than the path that radiates heat through the sealing resin 33 is obtained. However, a sufficient heat dissipation effect could not be expected, and it was difficult to realize a light source device with improved heat dissipation characteristics.
[0011]
  In order to further improve the heat dissipation characteristics, a light source device in which the LED chip 2 is directly die-bonded to the substrate 34 as shown in FIG. 25 has been proposed. The substrate 34 is made of, for example, an aluminum thin plate, and the substrate 34 is pressed to form the recess 34a. After the insulator thin film 35 is formed on the surface of the substrate 34, the insulating film formed on the bottom surface of the recess 34a. The LED chip 2 is die-bonded on the body thin film 35. Then, the wiring pattern 36 formed on the surface of the substrate 34 via the insulator film layer 35 and the electrode on the surface of the LED chip 2 are electrically connected via the bonding wire 9 and penetrated into the recess 34a. It is formed by filling a sealing resin 37 having optical properties.
[0012]
  In this light source device, the heat generated by the LED chip 2 is radiated from the LED chip 2 through the path of the die bonding paste 7 → the insulator film layer 35 → the substrate 34, and the heat transmitted to the substrate 34 is diffused throughout the substrate 34. Therefore, the heat radiation path is short and the heat radiation performance is very high as compared with a bullet-type light emitting diode. However, also in this heat dissipation path, the die bonding paste 7 and the insulator film layer 35 exist as components that hinder heat dissipation. The die bonding paste 7 is made of resin, and although the paste itself has a small thermal conductivity coefficient, the thickness of the paste is as thin as 5 μm or less. Therefore, it is considered that the influence of the die bonding paste 7 on the heat dissipation is small. On the other hand, the insulator film layer 35 is formed of a resin or a resin in which a ceramic filler is dispersed, and the insulator film layer 35 itself has a smaller thermal conductivity coefficient than that of a metal, and the insulator film layer 35. Since the thickness of the film is as thick as about 300 μm, the influence on the heat dissipation is large. Thus, in the light source device having the structure shown in FIG. 25, although the heat radiation from the LED chip 2 is higher than that of the light source device using the cannonball type LED, the insulator film layer 35 exists in the heat radiation path. Therefore, sufficient heat dissipation was not obtained.
[0013]
  Further, in order to reduce the influence of the insulator film layer 35 in heat radiation from the LED chip 2, the insulator film layer 35 is partially removed from the surface of the substrate 34, and the LED chip 2 is directly attached to the exposed substrate 34. A die-bonded light source device has also been proposed. However, the insulating film layer 35 is partially removed by cutting using an end mill or the like, and the exposed surface of the substrate 34 has severe cutting flaws. As a result of measurement, smoothness of about plus or minus 20 μm is obtained. Met. By the way, when the LED chip 2 is die-bonded, depending on the type of the die-bonding agent, the surface on which the LED chip 2 is mounted needs to have a smoothness of about plus or minus 5 μm. It was difficult to mount, and it was difficult to mount the LED chip 2 on the exposed surface of the substrate 34.
[0014]
  Further, in the light source device shown in FIG. 25, the wiring pattern 36 is formed on the upper surface of the insulator film layer 35, and one end of the bonding wire 9 is connected to the wiring pattern 36. Even if sealed with 37, a part of the bonding wire 9 is exposed to the outside from the sealing resin 37, and there is a problem that the strength of the bonding wire 9 is remarkably lowered against mechanical impact. Therefore, in order to protect the portion of the bonding wire 9 exposed to the outside from the sealing resin 37, it may be possible to separately seal the portion of the bonding wire 9 exposed from the sealing resin 37. Even if resin sealing is performed using the same resin, if resin sealing is performed in two steps, stress remains at the interface between the two resins. The bonding wire 9 may be broken at the interface portion. In particular, when powder such as a phosphor is dispersed in the sealing resin 37 in order to obtain white light emission using the blue light emitting LED chip 2, the sealing is performed by sealing the resin from above the sealing resin 37. There is also a problem that a difference in thermal expansion coefficient occurs between the resin and the possibility that the bonding wire 9 is disconnected at the interface portion.
[0015]
  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the object of the present invention is to improve the light emission efficiency, increase the light output, extend the life, and increase the mechanical strength.PlaceIt is to provide.
[0016]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, an insulating member is provided at a portion of a substrate having thermal conductivity, an insulating member disposed on at least one surface of the substrate, and an insulating member facing the substrate. A hole provided through, an LED chip disposed facing and thermally coupled to a portion of the substrate exposed from the hole, and a wiring portion provided in the insulating member and electrically insulated from the substrate by the insulating member , A connecting member that electrically connects the power feeding unit and the electrode of the LED chip, and a sealing material that has a light-transmitting property that fills the hole and seals the entire LED chip and the connecting member And withA protruding portion that protrudes inwardly is provided at the opening edge on the substrate side of the hole provided in the insulating member, and at least a part of the wiring portion is disposed on the protruding portion, and the portion of the wiring portion that is disposed in the protruding portion The electrode of the LED chip is electrically connected to the substrate, and a protruding portion that protrudes toward the insulating member and is inserted into a hole provided in the insulating member is provided on the substrate, the LED chip is opposed to the protruding portion, and heat is applied. Combined and placedThe LED chip is disposed so as to be opposed to and thermally coupled to the portion of the substrate exposed from the hole provided in the insulating member, so that the heat generated by the LED chip is released through the substrate having thermal conductivity. And a light source device with improved heat dissipation can be realized. Therefore, the temperature rise of the LED chip is suppressed, and a decrease in light emission efficiency due to the temperature rise can be prevented. Moreover, since the temperature rise of the LED chip is reduced, a larger forward current can be applied to the LED chip to increase the light output of the LED chip, and the LED chip and the sealing material are thermally deteriorated. It can be reduced and the life can be extended. Furthermore, even when the LED chip and the entire connection member are sealed with a sealing material filled in the hole, and a metal wire is used as a connection member that electrically connects the LED chip and the power supply unit, There is no fear that the metal wire is broken by the stress generated at the interface of the resin, and the mechanical strength can be improved.Moreover, since the thickness of the protruding portion can be increased by the height of the protruding portion by providing the protruding portion on the substrate, the processing of the protruding portion can be easily performed and the thickness of the protruding portion can be increased. By increasing the dimension, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the overhang portion and prevent a gap from being formed between the overhang portion and the substrate when the substrate and the insulating member are joined.

The height is substantially the same, and the length of the metal wire that electrically connects the LED chip and the wiring portion can be shortened, so that the mechanical strength of the metal wire can be increased, and the LED chip. By making the height of the wiring part substantially the same, the bonding operation can be easily performed.
[0019]
  Claim4In the invention of claim1According to the invention, in the bonding direction of the substrate and the insulating member, the height of the projecting portion on which the LED chip is mounted and the portion of the wiring portion electrically connected to the LED chip are substantially the same height.

[0020]
  Claim5In the invention of claim1In the invention of claim 1, the projecting portion is stamped into the insulating member side surface of the substrate by forming a recess by punching from the surface of the substrate opposite to the insulating member. Since the projecting part is formed by performing the above, the processing cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the projecting part is formed by cutting. In addition, when the substrate and the insulating member are bonded together with an adhesive, the entire substrate warps to the insulating member side due to the heat shrinkage of the adhesive, but by forming a recess by punching, the entire substrate is Since it warps on the opposite side to the insulating member, the warpage of the substrate caused by the thermal contraction of the adhesive can be offset and the substrate can be prevented from warping as a whole.
[0021]
  Claim6In the invention of claim1In this invention, the substrate is composed of a base plate in which a communication hole communicating with the hole is formed, and a protrusion that is attached in the communication hole and has a tip projecting toward the insulating member. The protrusion is formed by inserting a protrusion into the hole in the base plate and projecting the tip of the protrusion toward the insulating member, so the protrusion is formed by cutting. Compared with the case where it does, the process of a protrusion part can be performed easily.
[0022]
  Claim7In the invention of claim1In the invention of claim 1, wherein a gap is provided between the hole and the projecting part, and when the substrate and the insulating member are bonded together with an adhesive, excess adhesive is removed from the bonding surface between the substrate and the insulating member.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the adhesive from protruding. In addition, if there is a part where the adhesive is insufficient on the joint surface between the substrate and the insulating member, the sealing material may leak out from the gap created in this part, but the reservoir where excess adhesive is stored is insulated. The excess adhesive collected around the hole in the member and placed in the reservoir is placed so as to surround the part of the substrate exposed from the hole, so the weir that the adhesive accumulated in the reservoir blocks the sealing material It is possible to prevent the sealing material from leaking.
[0025]
  Claim10In the invention of claim 1, in the invention of claim 1, the power supply unit includes a substrate formed of a conductive material, and the substrate and the electrode of the LED chip are electrically connected, and the substrate itself is used as the power supply unit. In addition to connecting one electrode of the LED chip to the substrate and connecting the other electrode of the LED chip to the wiring part, power can be supplied to the LED chip, so the wiring part formed on the surface of the insulating member is There is an advantage that only one circuit is required. Further, since the substrate bears a part of the circuit for supplying power to the LED chip, the circuit can be easily pulled out to the substrate side.
[0026]
  Claim11In the invention of claim10In the present invention, the substrate is provided with a plurality of regions that are electrically insulated from each other. By the way, when a plurality of LED chips are mounted on a single substrate, all the LED chips are connected in parallel unless the single substrate is divided into a plurality of regions that are electrically insulated from each other. become. Here, since LED chips have slightly different driving voltages for each individual, if a plurality of LED chips are connected in parallel, a large amount of current flows through the LED chip with the lowest driving voltage, and the LED chips may be damaged. is there. Therefore, in order to equalize the currents flowing through the plurality of LED chips, a method of connecting current limiting resistors in series for each LED chip is conceivable. However, current limiting resistors corresponding to the number of LED chips are required. Thus, the power loss consumed by each resistor increases. On the other hand, in the present invention, the substrate is provided with a plurality of regions that are electrically insulated from each other, LED chips are mounted in each region, and LED chips mounted in each region are connected in series, The current value flowing through each LED chip can be made substantially constant, and if one current limiting resistor is connected to a plurality of LED chips connected in series, the current flowing through each LED chip is limited. Therefore, the power loss consumed by the current limiting resistor can be reduced.

[0031]
  Claim16In the invention of claim 1, in the invention of claim 1, the sealing material has a light color conversion function of converting at least a part of the light emitted from the LED chip into a predetermined light color.

  Claim18The invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that in the invention of claim 1, a part of the wiring part is extended toward the substrate side, and the extended part constitutes an external connection terminal, and a part of the wiring part is formed on the board side. Since the extended portion is used as an external connection terminal, power can be easily supplied from the substrate side to the wiring portion. Although various forms of extending a part of the wiring part toward the substrate side can be considered, for example, the wiring part is extended to the substrate side along the end of the insulating member, or a through hole is formed in the insulating member. It is conceivable to extend the wiring portion to the substrate side by filling the through hole with a conductive material. In addition, the length of the wiring portion extending toward the substrate side is also determined as necessary, and may be extended to the middle of the insulating member or the surface on the substrate side, or a part of the wiring portion may wrap around the surface on the substrate side.

Since the substrate comes into contact with the surface of the instrument body simply by placing the insulating member on the surface of the instrument body, the heat generated by the LED chip is released to the instrument body through the substrate, thereby improving the cooling effect. . In addition, since a part of the wiring portion is extended to the substrate side to form the external connection terminal, electrical connection between the external connection terminal and the wiring portion formed on the surface of the instrument body can be easily performed. Furthermore, if an external connection terminal is formed on the distal end surface of the portion extending to the substrate side of the insulating member, a surface mount type light source device with improved heat dissipation can be realized.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0038]
  (Basic configuration)
  Of the present inventionBasic configurationWill be described with reference to FIGS. The light source device 1 includes a substrate 3 made of a material having high thermal conductivity such as aluminum and a thickness of about 2 mm, and an insulating member 4 made of an insulating material such as a liquid crystal polymer and having a thickness of about 2 mm. It is configured by pasting together.
[0039]
  Two round holes 5 having a diameter of about 3 mm and a depth of about 1.5 mm are formed on the surface of the insulating member 4 opposite to the substrate 3, and the insulating member 4 passes through the center of each round hole 5. Through holes 6 having a substantially circular cross section and a diameter of about 1 mm reaching the substrate 3 are formed. Here, the round hole 5 and the through hole 6 constitute a hole provided through the insulating member 4 at a portion of the insulating member 4 facing the substrate 3, and protrudes inward at the bottom of the round hole 5. The overhanging portion 4 a is formed integrally with the substrate 3. The LED chips 2 are die-bonded to the portions of the substrate 3 exposed from the through holes 6 by using a die bonding paste 7 such as a silver paste. A wiring pattern (wiring portion) 8 made of a conductive material such as copper is formed on the same straight line passing through the mounting portion of the two LED chips 2 on the surface of the insulating member 4 opposite to the substrate 3. . The wiring pattern 8 extends to the side wall and the bottom surface (the overhanging portion 4 a) of the round hole 5, and constitutes a connection portion for wire bonding, and the connection between the electrode (not shown) of the LED chip 2 and the wiring pattern 8 The space is electrically connected through a bonding wire (metal wire) 9 made of a fine metal wire such as gold. Here, at least a portion of the wiring pattern 8 to which the bonding wire 9 is connected is plated with gold so that the bonding wire 9 can be easily bonded. Further, since the upper surface of the LED chip 2 and the portion of the wiring pattern 8 formed on the bottom surface of the round hole 5 are substantially the same height, the length of the bonding wire 9 is shortened, The mechanical strength can be increased and the bonding operation can be easily performed.
[0040]
  After that, by injecting a sealing resin (sealing material) 10 such as a two-liquid curable epoxy resin having translucency into the inside of the round hole 5, the entire LED chip 2 and the bonding wire 9 are made. The resin sealing is performed, and the connecting portion of the bonding wire 9 is protected by the sealing resin 10. Here, when the sealing resin 10 is injected, it may be injected up to the upper surface of the insulating member 4, and the injection amount of the sealing resin 10 can be easily controlled. Further, since the bonding wire 9 is connected to a portion of the wiring pattern 8 extending on the overhanging portion 4a and is accommodated in the round hole 5, the sealing resin filled in the round hole 5 is used. 10 can bond the bonding wire 9 and its connecting portion with resin, and the bonding wire 9 is exposed to the outside from the sealing resin 10, so that the mechanical strength is lowered or the bonding wire 9 is generated on the surface of the sealing resin 10. There is no possibility that the bonding wire 9 is disconnected due to the stress to be generated.
[0041]
  The LED chip 2 is described as an example of a GaN-based LED chip in which two electrodes are formed on the top surface of the chip. An LED chip in which one electrode is formed may be used. In this case, the substrate 3 is used as a wiring, or an electrode is provided on the substrate 3, and the LED chip and the electrode of the substrate 3 and the wiring pattern 8 are connected. What is necessary is just to connect between each with a bonding wire.
[0042]
  As mentioned above,BookIn the light source device 1, since the LED chip 2 is directly die-bonded on the substrate 3 having good thermal conductivity, the heat generated by the LED chip 2 is transmitted to the substrate 3 through the die bonding paste 7 and reaches the substrate 3. The heat generated by the chip 2 quickly spreads over the entire substrate 3. Here, although the die bonding paste 7 having a low thermal conductivity coefficient exists in the heat dissipation path of the heat generated by the LED chip 2, the thickness of the die bonding paste 7 is as thin as several μm, so that the influence on the heat dissipation is small. Sufficient heat dissipation performance can be obtained. For example, when compared with thermal resistance, in the case of the bullet-type LED described in the conventional example, the thermal resistance from the LED chip to the tip of the lead frame was about 350 ° C./W,BookIn the light source device 1, the thermal resistance from the LED chip 2 to the back surface of the substrate 3 is about 90 ° C./W, and the thermal resistance can be reduced to about ¼.
[0043]
  Therefore, compared with the conventional light source device, the heat radiation characteristic from the LED chip 2 to the outside is enhanced and the temperature rise of the LED chip 2 is suppressed, so that the light emission efficiency of the LED chip 2 is improved and the light output is increased. In addition, the service life can be extended.
[0044]
  Moreover, since the LED chip 2 and the bonding wire 9 are sealed with the sealing resin 10 and the connecting portion of the bonding wire 9 is also protected by the sealing resin 10, no stress is applied to the bonding wire 9. The disconnection of the bonding wire 9 can be prevented, and the mechanical strength can be improved.
[0045]
  BookLight source device 1In this case, an aluminum plate is used as the substrate 3. However, the material of the substrate 3 is not limited to aluminum, and may be formed from a metal such as copper or a ceramic having high thermal conductivity such as aluminum nitride. The same effect as described above can be obtained. Also bookLight source device 1In this case, the wiring pattern 8 is formed on the insulating member 4 by using the printed wiring technique. However, instead of the wiring pattern 8, only the connection portion of the bonding wire 9 passes through the insulating member 4 in the vicinity of the LED chip 2. The LED chip 2 may be wired using an exposed lead frame (not shown).
[0046]
  (Embodiment1)
  Embodiment of the present invention1Will be described with reference to FIG. The light source device 1 is formed by bonding a substrate 3 made of a material having high thermal conductivity such as aluminum and an insulating member 4 made of an insulating material such as liquid crystal polymer and having a thickness of about 2 mm. The
[0047]
  The substrate 3 is formed by cutting an aluminum plate having a thickness of about 3 mm, and the surface of the substrate 3 on the insulating member 4 side has a substantially cylindrical protrusion having a diameter of about 1 mm and a height of about 0.9 mm. The base part 11 is protrudingly provided.
[0048]
  On the surface of the insulating member 4 opposite to the substrate 3, a recess 5 ′ is formed at a portion corresponding to the protruding portion 11 of the substrate 3, and the insulating member 4 is penetrated at the bottom of the recess 5 ′. A through hole 6 is formed. Here, the hole diameter of the through hole 6 is about 1 mm, which is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the projecting portion 11. Further, the inner diameter of the bottom surface of the recess 5 ′ is about 2 mm, and the side wall of the recess 5 ′ becomes larger as the distance from the substrate 3 side increases, and the cross-sectional shape is inclined at an angle of about 45 degrees. ing. Here, the recess 5 ′ and the through hole 6 constitute a hole that penetrates the insulating member 4 in the portion of the insulating member 4 that faces the substrate 3, and the bottom of the recess 5 ′ is inward. A protruding portion 4 a that protrudes is formed integrally with the substrate 3.
[0049]
  Here, the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4 are joined in a state in which the through-hole 6 and the protruding portion 11 are fitted, and the thickness of the portion of the protruding portion 11 exposed from the through-hole 6 is about 0. A 2 mm LED chip 2 is die-bonded using a die bonding paste 7 such as a silver paste. A wiring pattern 8 made of a conductive material such as copper is formed on the surface of the insulating member 4 opposite to the substrate 3, and the surface thereof is plated with gold. The wiring pattern 8 extends to the side wall and bottom surface of the recess 5 ′, and is formed on the portion of the wiring pattern 8 that extends to the bottom surface (projecting portion 4 a) of the recess 5 ′ and the upper surface of the LED chip 2. The electrodes are electrically connected via bonding wires 9 made of fine metal wires such as gold.
[0050]
  Thereafter, the LED chip 2 and the bonding wire 9 are resin-sealed by injecting a sealing resin 10 such as a two-liquid curable epoxy resin having translucency into the interior of the recess 5 ′. The connecting portion of the bonding wire 9 is protected by the sealing resin 10. Here, when the sealing resin 10 is injected, it may be injected up to the upper surface of the insulating member 4, and the injection amount of the sealing resin 10 can be easily controlled. Moreover, since the bonding wire 9 is connected to the portion of the wiring pattern 8 extending on the overhanging portion 4a and is accommodated in the recess 5 ′, the sealing wire filled in the recess 5 ′ is used. The bonding wire 9 and its connecting portion can be resin-sealed by the stop resin 10, and the mechanical strength is reduced by exposing the bonding wire 9 to the outside from the sealing resin 10, or the surface of the sealing resin 10 There is no possibility that the bonding wire 9 is broken due to the stress generated by the above.
[0051]
  Further, in the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, the LED chip 2 is directly die-bonded on the substrate 3 having good thermal conductivity.Described in the basic configurationSimilar to the light source device 1, sufficient heat dissipation performance can be obtained and the temperature rise of the LED chip 2 is suppressed, so that the light emission efficiency of the LED chip 2 is improved, the light output is increased, and the life is extended. Can be achieved.
[0052]
  Further, in the light source device 1 according to the present embodiment, since the protruding portion 11 is formed on the substrate 3, the wiring pattern formed on the upper surface of the LED chip 2 and the overhanging portion 4 a in the bonding direction of the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4. Even if the height of 8 is substantially the same, the thickness of the overhanging portion 4a can be increased by the height of the projecting portion 11. Here, in the case where the insulating member 4 is formed of resin, if the thickness of the overhang portion 4a is reduced, the yield increases and the processing of the overhang portion 4a becomes difficult. Further, when the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4 are bonded to each other, a gap may be formed between the substrate 3 and the overhanging portion 4 a if the thickness is small. On the other hand, in the light source device 1 of this embodiment, the width of the overhang portion 4a is about 0.5 mm, whereas the thickness is about 1 mm, so that the overhang portion 4a is easily processed. In addition, the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4 can be bonded together without generating a gap between the substrate 3 and the substrate 3.
[0053]
  Also,Described in the basic configurationSimilar to the light source device 1, the upper surface of the LED chip 2 and the portion of the wiring pattern 8 formed on the bottom surface (projecting portion 4 a) of the recess 5 ′ are substantially the same height. There is an advantage that the mechanical strength of the bonding wire 9 can be increased by shortening the length, and the bonding operation can be easily performed. Moreover, since the side wall of the recess 5 'is a tapered surface, the light emitted from the LED chip 2 is not absorbed or diffusely reflected by the side wall of the recess 5', and can be efficiently reflected forward. it can.
[0054]
  (Embodiment2)
  Embodiment of the present invention2Will be described with reference to FIG. In the light source device 1 of this embodiment, the embodiment1In the light source device 1, the height of the protruding portion 11 provided on the substrate 3 is about 1.1 mm, and the height between the upper surface of the protruding portion 11 and the upper surface of the wiring pattern 8 formed on the overhanging portion 4 a. They are almost the same. The configuration other than the projecting portion 11 is an embodiment.1Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0055]
  Embodiment1In the light source device 1, a part of the light emitted from the LED chip 2 in a direction (horizontal direction) substantially parallel to the upper surface of the LED chip 2 is absorbed by the end face of the overhanging portion 4 a. There is a risk that the light emission efficiency may be reduced because the light is not radiated forward due to irregular reflection. On the other hand, in the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, the height of the upper surface of the projecting portion 11 and the upper surface of the wiring pattern 8 formed on the overhanging portion 4a are made substantially the same, and the LED chip 2 Is die-bonded on a substantially flat surface, so that the light emitted from the LED chip 2 is not absorbed or diffusely reflected by the end surface of the overhanging portion 4a, and the light emission efficiency can be improved.
[0056]
  As shown in FIG. 3B, the upper surface of the protrusion 11 may be protruded upward from the wiring pattern 8 formed in the overhanging portion 4a. There is no possibility that light is absorbed or diffusely reflected by the end face of the overhanging portion 4a, and the luminous efficiency can be improved. In addition, since the wire length of the bonding wire 9 will become long and there exists a possibility that the bonding wire 9 may contact the corner | angular part of the protruding part 11 if the protrusion amount of the protruding part 11 becomes too large, The height is such that the upper surface of the projecting part 11 and the upper surface of the wiring pattern 8 formed on the projecting part 4a are substantially flush, or the upper surface of the projecting part 11 is formed on the projecting part 4a. It is desirable to form the wiring pattern 8 so as to be slightly higher than the upper surface of the wiring pattern 8.
[0057]
  (Embodiment3)
  Embodiment of the present invention3Will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the embodiment2In the light source device 1, the diameter of the protruding portion 11 provided on the substrate 3 is about 0.5 mm and the height is about 1.1 mm, and the wiring formed on the upper surface of the protruding portion 11 and the overhanging portion 4a. The height of the upper surface of the pattern 8 is substantially the same. It should be noted that the embodiment is other than the arrangement of the substrate 3 and the LED chip 2.2Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0058]
  The LED chip 2 is made of a transparent sapphire substrate, and the distance between the electrodes is about 1 mm. The LED chip 2 is opposed to the projecting part 11, and the projecting part 11 is located between the electrodes. The electrode surface of the LED chip 2 was mounted face-down on the wiring pattern 8. Here, the LED chip 2 and the wiring pattern 8 were joined by the following method. That is, the solder bumps 21 were formed on the electrodes of the LED chip 2 and joined by heating in a reflow furnace to melt the solder bumps 21. The solder bumps 21 have a height of 2 to 3 μm, and the electrode surfaces of the substrate 3 and the LED chip 2 are also separated by this distance, so that electrical insulation is maintained. Further, the sealing resin 10 is filled in the gap between the substrate 3 and the LED chip 2, but the distance between the substrate 3 and the LED chip 2 is sufficiently short, so the LED chip 2 is thermally coupled to the substrate 3, There is no major obstacle to heat conduction from the LED chip 2 to the substrate 3.
[0059]
  Embodiment2In the light source device 1 described above, since the electrode of the LED chip 2 faces the opening side of the recess 5 ′, a part of the light traveling from the LED chip 2 to the outside is blocked by the electrode of the LED chip 2. Part of the blocked light is repeatedly reflected and extracted to the outside, but the rest is absorbed inside and becomes a loss. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the electrode of the LED chip 2 is disposed on the substrate 3 side, and light emitted from the light emitting portion of the LED chip 2 is taken out through the transparent sapphire substrate. A part of the light emission is not shielded by the wire 9, and it is possible to prevent the light amount from being lowered as a whole. Embodiments2When the light source device 1 is used in combination with an optical component such as a lens, depending on the focal length, there is a problem that the shape of the electrode of the LED chip 2 is projected as a shadow onto the irradiation surface. Since it is arrange | positioned at the side, a front surface can be made into a uniform irradiation surface. Further embodiments2As described above, there is no possibility that the light emitted from the LED chip 2 is absorbed by the end face of the overhanging portion 4a or is irregularly reflected, and the light emission efficiency can be improved.
[0060]
  As shown in FIG. 4B, the upper surface of the projecting portion 11 protrudes about 3 μm above the wiring pattern 8 formed on the projecting portion 4a, and the LED chip 2 is placed on the upper surface of the projecting portion 11. Face-down mounting may be performed in a contact state, and heat dissipation can be improved by bringing the LED chip 2 into direct contact with the projecting portion 11. However, in this case, the LED chip 2 and the substrate 3 are coated by coating the upper surface of the projecting part 11 or the portion of the LED chip 2 in contact with the upper surface of the projecting part 11 with an insulating material such as silicon oxide. Or a non-electrically conductive material must be used as the material of the substrate 3. Further, it is desirable to increase the height of the solder bump 21 in order to absorb the level difference between the protruding portion 11 and the wiring pattern 8, and the electrical connection between the electrode of the LED chip 2 and the wiring pattern 8 can be ensured. .
[0061]
  Here, also when the structure of the light source device 1 is the structure shown in FIG. 4B, the light emitted from the LED chip 2 is absorbed or diffusely reflected by the end face of the overhanging portion 4a as described above. There is no fear, and the luminous efficiency can be improved.
[0062]
  (Embodiment4)
  Embodiment of the present invention4Will be described with reference to FIG. In the light source device 1 of this embodiment, the embodiment2In the light source device 1, a recess 12 is provided in a portion corresponding to the protruding portion 11 on the lower surface of the substrate 3. The configuration other than the recess 12 is the embodiment.2Since it is the same as the light source device 1 of the embodiment, the embodiment2The same reference numerals are given to the same constituent elements as in FIG.
[0063]
  Embodiment2In the light source device 1, the protruding portion 11 is formed by cutting the substrate 3. However, in the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, the substrate 3 is punched from one surface and pressed to form the recess 12. As a result, the projecting base 11 is formed on the opposite surface of the substrate 3, and the processing cost can be reduced as compared with the case where cutting is performed.
[0064]
  Moreover, when bonding the board | substrate 3 and the insulating member 4 using an adhesive agent, there exists a possibility that the board | substrate 3 and the whole insulating member 4 may warp by hardening shrinkage | contraction of an adhesive agent. On the other hand, when the protruding portion 11 is formed by press working, a warp in the direction opposite to the direction warped by the curing shrinkage of the adhesive is generated in the substrate 3. Overall warpage can be suppressed.
[0065]
  In the light source device 1, the heat generated by the LED chip 2 is transmitted to the projecting portion 11 of the substrate 3 through the die bonding paste 7. Although the recess 12 is formed on the back surface of the projecting part 11, the substrate 3 is integrally formed, so that the heat generated by the LED chip 2 transmitted to the projecting part 11 is quickly transmitted to the entire substrate 3. Radiated to the outside. Moreover, since the board | substrate 3 is used in the state contacted to heat radiation components, such as the housing | casing in which the light source device 1 is attached, and a heat radiation fin, the heat_generation | fever of LED chip 2 is rapidly discharge | released to the heat radiation component via the board | substrate 3. Therefore, the heat dissipation performance is substantially the same as the case where the recess 12 is not formed.
[0066]
  (Embodiment5)
  Embodiment of the present invention5Will be described with reference to FIG. Embodiment2In the light source device 1, the protruding portion 11 is formed by cutting the substrate 3. However, in the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, instead of forming the protruding portion 11, the protruding portion 11 has thermal conductivity. A communication hole 13 having a substantially circular cross section communicating with the through hole 6 is formed in a portion corresponding to the through hole 6 of the insulating member 4 in the base plate 3 ′ made of a material, and the communication hole 13 is made of, for example, aluminum. A cylindrical heat conductor (protrusion) 14 formed from a material having excellent heat conductivity is press-fitted. Here, the base plate 3 ′ and the heat conductor 14 constitute a substrate, and the tip portion of the heat conductor 14 protruding from the surface of the base plate 3 ′ to the insulating member 4 side constitutes a projecting portion, and heat conduction. The tip of the body 14 is inserted into the through hole 6, and the LED chip 2 is die-bonded to the tip of the heat conductor 14 using the die bonding paste 7. The configuration other than the base plate 3 ′ and the heat conductor 14 is the embodiment.2Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0067]
  Embodiment2In the light source device, since the projecting portion 11 is formed on the substrate 3 by cutting the metal plate, the processing cost is increased, but in the present embodiment, the base plate 3 ′ is punched, Since the projecting part is formed by press-fitting the heat conductor 14 into the hole, the processing cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the projecting part 11 is formed by cutting.
[0068]
  Considering the case of using a heat dissipation component such as a housing to which the light source device is attached or a heat dissipation fin in contact with the back surface of the base plate 3 ′, the heat generated by the LED chip 2 is transmitted through the die bonding paste 7 as a heat conductor. 14 Here, since the heat conductor 14 is press-fitted into the communication hole 13 penetrating the base plate 3 ′ and reaches the back surface of the base plate 3 ′, the heat generated by the LED chip 2 is quickly transmitted through the heat conductor 14. It is transmitted to the side and released to the heat dissipation component. Further, since the heat conductor 14 is press-fitted into the communication hole 13 of the base plate 3 ′, and the heat conductor 14 and the base plate 3 ′ are in close contact with each other, sufficient heat conduction is performed between them. Since the heat transmitted to the heat conductor 14 is quickly released to the entire base plate 3 ′, the embodiment in which the projecting portion 11 is integrally formed on the substrate 3.2The same heat radiation characteristic as that of the light source device can be obtained.
[0069]

In the light source device 1 of this embodiment, the embodiment2In the light source device 1, a gap 15 is provided between the peripheral surface of the protruding portion 11 provided on the substrate 3 and the end surface of the through hole 6 provided in the insulating member 4. In addition, a recess 16 for positioning is formed on the surface (bonding surface) of the insulating member 4 on the substrate 3 side, and a convex portion 17 that engages with the recess 16 is provided on the upper surface (bonding surface) of the substrate 3. Yes. It should be noted that, except for the gap 15, the recess 16, and the convex portion 17, the embodiment2Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0070]
  Here, in the case where the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4 are formed by bonding with an adhesive, there is a possibility that excess adhesive may protrude from the adhesive surface.2In this light source device, since the adhesive protrudes in the immediate vicinity of the portion where the LED chip 2 is die-bonded, there is a possibility that part of the light emitted from the LED chip 2 is blocked by the adhesive. Further, the protruding adhesive may adhere to the tip surface of the projecting part 11 and the LED chip 2 cannot be die-bonded. However, in the light source device of this embodiment, the projecting part 11 and the projecting part 4a A gap 15 is provided between them, and the adhesive that protrudes from the adhesive surface accumulates in the gap 15. Therefore, excess adhesive protrudes in the vicinity of the portion where the LED chip 2 is die-bonded, and light emitted from the LED chip 2. Can be prevented from being shielded and the LED chip 2 cannot be die-bonded.
[0071]
  In addition, by aligning the protrusions 17 provided on the substrate 3 and the recesses 16 provided on the insulating member 4, the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4 can be aligned. Positioning when the member 4 is bonded can be easily performed. In this embodiment, the convex portion 17 provided on the substrate 3 and the recess 16 provided on the insulating member 4 constitute positioning means for positioning the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4.

In this embodiment, the embodiment2In the light source device 1, a ring-shaped groove 4 d having a width of about 0.5 mm and a depth of about 0.3 mm is provided on the surface of the insulating member 4 on the substrate 3 side at a position of a radius of about 1 mm with the through hole 6 as the center. . The configuration other than the groove 4d is the embodiment.2Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0073]
  Here, when the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4 are bonded and bonded together with an adhesive, there is a possibility that excess adhesive may protrude from the bonding surface.2In the light source device 1, since the adhesive protrudes in the immediate vicinity of the portion where the LED chip 2 is die-bonded, a part of the light emitted from the LED chip 2 may be blocked by the adhesive. In addition, the protruding adhesive may adhere to the front end surface of the projecting portion 11 and the LED chip 2 may not be die-bonded. On the other hand, in the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, since the groove 4d is formed around the through hole 6 into which the projecting portion 11 is fitted, excess adhesive 22 is accumulated in the groove 4d. Protruding to the vicinity of the projecting portion 11 through the through hole 6 can be prevented.
[0074]
  In addition, when there is unevenness in the application of the adhesive 22, a portion where the adhesive 22 is insufficient is generated on the joint surface between the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4, and a gap is formed. In this embodiment, the groove 4d is formed around the through-hole 6, and the adhesive 22 accumulated in the groove 4d flows out of the sealing resin 10. Therefore, the sealing resin 10 can be prevented from flowing out.

In this embodiment, the embodiment2In the light source device 1, a conductive material such as copper is used as the material of the substrate 3, and a gold plating layer is formed on the upper surface of the protruding portion 11. Further, the wiring pattern 8 is formed with only one electrode in the recess 5 ', and the LED chip 2 is placed at a position straddling the protruding part 11 and the wiring pattern 8 formed on the overhanging part 4a. These electrodes are brought into contact with the upper surface of the projecting portion 11, and the other electrode is mounted face-down so as to be in contact with the wiring pattern 8 formed on the overhanging portion 4a. The embodiment except for the mounting method of the LED chip 22Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0076]
  In the light source device 1 of this embodiment, the embodiment3Similarly to the above, the electrode of the LED chip 2 is arranged on the substrate 3 side., LA part of the light emission is not shielded by the electrodes of the ED chip 2, and it is possible to prevent the light amount from being lowered as a whole. Embodiments2As described above, there is no possibility that the light emitted from the LED chip 2 is absorbed by the end face of the overhanging portion 4a or is irregularly reflected, and the light emission efficiency can be improved. Further, in the present embodiment, the power supply E and the current limiting resistor R are connected between the wiring pattern 8 and the substrate 3 to supply power to the LED chip 2, and the substrate 3 is part of the power supply unit. Therefore, the wiring pattern 8 extending into the recess 5 ′ can be simplified. In addition, since the same effect is obtained as the wiring is drawn out to the back side through the substrate 3, the power of the light source device 1 can be supplied from the back side of the substrate 3.
[0077]
  In the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, the LED chip 2 is mounted face-down, but the LED chip 2 is die-bonded mounted face up, and the electrodes of the LED chip 2 and the wiring pattern 8 are connected via bonding wires. The substrate 3 may be electrically connected.
[0078]
  (Embodiment9)
  Embodiment of the present invention9Will be described with reference to FIG. Embodiment8In the light source device 1, one LED chip 2 is mounted on the substrate 3, but in the present embodiment, a plurality of (for example, two) LED chips 2 are mounted on the substrate 3. A plurality of substrate portions (areas) 3a and 3b that are electrically insulated from each other are provided on the substrate 3, and one LED chip 2 is mounted on each of the substrate portions 3a and 3b. The basic structure is the embodiment.8Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0079]
  By the way, the embodiment8In the light source device 1, a conductive material is used as the material of the substrate 3, and the entire substrate 3 has the same potential. Therefore, when a plurality of LED chips 2 are mounted on the substrate 3, these LED chips 2 are used. Are all connected in parallel. Since the LED chip 2 has a slightly different driving voltage for each individual, when a plurality of LED chips 2 are connected in parallel, a large amount of current flows through the LED chip 2 having the lowest driving voltage, and the LED chip 2 may be damaged. There is. In order to make the currents flowing through the plurality of LED chips 2 uniform, current limiting resistors may be connected in series for each LED chip 2, but current limiting resistors corresponding to the number of LED chips 2 are required. Thus, there is a problem that the power loss consumed by the current limiting resistor increases.
[0080]
  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the substrate 3 is divided into a plurality of substrate portions 3a and 3b that are electrically insulated from each other, and the LED chips 2 and 2 are mounted one by one on each substrate portion 3a and 3b. By connecting the LED chips 2 and 2 mounted on the substrate parts 3a and 3b in series, and connecting the DC power source E through the current limiting resistor R in parallel with the series circuit of the LED chips 2 and 2, The current flowing through each LED chip 2 can be made uniform. Therefore, current does not flow concentrated on a specific LED chip 2, so that damage to the LED chip 2 due to current concentration can be prevented, and only one current limiting resistor R is required for a plurality of LED chips 2. Therefore, the power loss generated by the current limiting resistor R can be reduced.
[0081]
  In the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, the embodiment3Similarly to the above, the electrode of the LED chip 2 is arranged on the substrate 3 side., LA part of the light emission is not shielded by the electrodes of the ED chip 2, and it is possible to prevent the light amount from being lowered as a whole.

Further, in the present embodiment, the power supply E and the current limiting resistor R are connected between the wiring pattern 8 and the substrate 3 to supply power to the LED chip 2, and the substrate 3 is part of the power supply unit. Therefore, the wiring pattern extending into the recess 5 ′ can be simplified. In addition, since the same effect is obtained as the wiring is drawn out to the back side through the substrate 3, the power of the light source device 1 can be supplied from the back side of the substrate 3.

Embodiment2In the light source device 1, the sealing resin 10 is injected into the recess 5 ′ provided in the insulating member 4 (casting), and the LED chip 2 and the bonding wire 9 are sealed. In apparatus 1, an embodiment2In the light source device, resin sealing is performed by transfer molding using a mold, and a convex lens 10 a is formed on the surface of the sealing resin 10. The configuration other than the sealing resin 10 is an embodiment.2Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0083]
  Embodiment2When the resin sealing is performed by casting as in the light source device 1 of FIG. 1, the surface of the sealing resin 10 cannot be formed into a desired shape. However, in the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4 is incorporated in a mold (not shown), and resin sealing is performed by transfer molding in which the sealing resin 10 is pushed in by press-fitting. Therefore, the surface of the sealing resin 10 can be easily formed in the shape of a convex lens. The light emitted from the LED chip 2 by the convex lens formed of the sealing resin 10 can be distributed in a desired direction in front of the LED chip 2.
[0084]
  In this embodiment, the surface of the sealing resin 10 is formed in the shape of a convex lens. However, the surface of the sealing resin 10 may be formed in the shape of a concave lens, and diffused light emission is performed by the concave lens. Also good. Further, even when resin sealing is performed by casting, the inner surface of the recess 5 ′ and the sealing resin 10 are used by using conditions such as surface roughness, shape, and surface treatment of the inner surface of the recess 5 ′. It is also possible to control the surface shape of the sealing resin 10 by controlling the wettability of the sealing resin. Generally, when the wettability is good, the surface shape of the sealing resin 10 is concave, and when the wettability is poor, the sealing resin 10 is sealed. The surface shape of the stop resin 10 is a convex surface.

FIG. 12A is a cross-sectional view of the light source device 1, and FIG. 12B is a plan view of the light source device 1. In this embodiment, the embodiment2In the light source device 1, a highly reflective reflective film (reflective portion) 18 made of a highly conductive material such as silver is formed on the entire inner surface of the recess 5 ′ formed in the insulating member 4. Yes. The reflective film 18 is formed continuously with the wiring patterns 8 and 8 and is divided into two parts by a narrow slit 24 (for example, a width of about 0.2 mm) extending in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the wiring pattern 8. Each part is electrically insulated. Then, the electrodes of the LED chip 2 mounted on the upper surface of the protrusion 11 and the respective reflective films 18 and 18 are electrically connected by bonding wires 9. The configuration other than the reflective film 18 is the embodiment.2Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0086]
  In the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, a part of the light emitted from the LED chip 2 passes through the sealing resin 10 and is directly emitted to the outside, and a part is reflected by the reflective film 18 and emitted to the outside. Is done. Since the reflective film 18 has a higher reflectance than the surface of the insulating member 4, the embodiment2As compared with the light source device 1, the ratio of emitted light is increased. Furthermore, in the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, since the reflective film 18 is also used in a part of the wiring pattern 8, compared to the case where the wiring pattern 8 and the reflective film 18 are separately formed in the recess 5 ′. Thus, the shape of the wiring pattern or the reflective film can be simplified. In order to wire bond the bonding wire 9, it is desirable that the reflective film 18 be made of gold. However, when the reflective film 18 is made of gold, blue light emitted from the blue light emitting LED chip 2 is used. In this embodiment, silver is used as the material of the reflective film 18.
[0087]
  (Embodiment12)
  Embodiment of the present invention12Will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b). Embodiment2In the light source device 1, wiring patterns 8 and 8 having a width substantially the same as the diameter of the protruding portion 11 are formed on the same straight line passing through the protruding portion 11 on the surface of the insulating member 4 opposite to the substrate 3. In addition, the electrodes provided on the upper surface of the LED chip 2 and the wiring patterns 8 are electrically connected via bonding wires 9. On the other hand, in the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, the embodiment2In the light source device, the width dimension of each wiring pattern 8 is set to a sufficiently small width dimension (for example, about 0.5 mm) as compared with the diameter of the protruding portion 11, and the electrode of the LED chip 2 and each wiring pattern 8 are connected. Each wiring pattern 8 is formed so as to extend in the direction in which the bonding wire 9 is extended. A reflective film (reflective portion) 18 having a high reflectivity made of, for example, silver is formed on the inner surface and bottom surface of the recess 5 ′ other than the wiring pattern 8. The configuration other than the wiring pattern 8 and the reflective film 18 is the embodiment.2Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0088]
  In the light source device 1, a part of the light emitted from the LED chip 2 passes through the sealing resin 10 and is directly emitted to the outside, and a part is reflected by the reflection film 18 and emitted to the outside.
[0089]
  By the way, the embodiment2In the light source device 1, a part of the light emitted from the LED chip 2 is shielded by the bonding wire 9. The wiring pattern 8 formed on the inner side surface and the bottom surface of the recess 5 'is gold-plated on the surface so that wire bonding can be easily performed, but the blue light emitting or green light emitting LED chip 2 is used. When gold is used, the gold plating layer has a low reflectivity with respect to these lights, so that the light output of the light source device 1 is reduced.
[0090]
  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the width dimension of the wiring pattern 8 having a low reflectance is narrowed and the wiring pattern 8 is formed in the direction in which the bonding wire 9 extends. By matching the wiring pattern 8, the area of the portion where the light from the LED chip 2 is blocked can be reduced. Further, since the reflective film 18 is formed on the inner side surface and the bottom surface of the recess 5 ′ other than the wiring pattern 8, the light from the LED chip 2 can be efficiently reflected, and the light extraction efficiency is improved. be able to.
[0091]
  (Embodiment13)
  Embodiment of the present invention13Will be described with reference to FIG. In the light source device 1 of this embodiment, the embodiment2In the light source device, a blue light emitting LED chip is used as the LED chip 2, and phosphor particles that emit yellow light that is a complementary color excited by the blue light emission of the LED chip 2 are dispersed in the sealing resin 10 ′. The sealing resin 10 'has a light color conversion function. The configuration other than the sealing resin 10 'is the embodiment.2Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0092]
  In the light source device 1, white light can be obtained by mixing the blue light emitted from the LED chip 2 and the yellow light partially converted by the phosphor particles. In the case of a bullet-type light emitting diode, the lifetime that is reduced to 70% of the initial luminous flux is as short as about 6000 hours. However, in the light source device 1 of the present embodiment, by increasing the heat dissipation of the LED chip 2, a bullet-shaped light emission is achieved. Compared with a diode, the lifetime can be extended significantly, and a long-life white light emitting diode can be realized.

In the light source device 1 of this embodiment, the embodiment13In the light source device, the side surface shape of the recess 5 ′ has a two-stage structure. That is, the inner surface of the recess 5 'has a tapered surface 4b that gradually increases in inner diameter from the bottom surface side to the opening side of the recess 5' and is inclined at an angle of about 45 degrees. A reflection surface 4c having a cross-sectional shape is formed from the tip end portion of the tapered surface 4b to the opening portion so that the light from the LED chip 2 can be reflected and condensed in a desired direction. In addition, a pair of wiring patterns 8 are formed on the same straight line passing through the projecting portion 11 on the surface of the insulating member 4 opposite to the substrate 3. For example, a reflective film 18 made of a highly reflective material such as silver is formed. The sealing resin 10 ′ is injected into the recess 5 ′ until the tip of the tapered surface 4 b is reached. The configuration other than the side shape of the recess 5 'is an embodiment.13Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0094]
  In this light source device 1, the light extracted from the first stage of the recess 5 ′ is completely diffused because the phosphor particles are dispersed in the sealing resin 10 ′. Since the light emitted from the step is very easy to control the light distribution, the light from the LED chip 2 can be distributed in a desired direction by changing the shape of the second reflecting surface 4c. Can do.
[0095]
  (Embodiment15)
  Embodiment of the present invention15Will be described with reference to FIG. The light source device 1 of the present embodiment is an embodiment2Embodiment having the same structure as that of the light source device 1 described in FIG.2In this embodiment, one LED chip 2 is mounted on the substrate 3. In this embodiment, two LED chips 2 are mounted on the substrate 3, and the two LED chips 2 are connected in series via the wiring pattern 8. Yes. The basic configuration of the light source device 1 is an embodiment.2Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

In addition, it is necessary to arrange components such as a connector for energizing the energizing portion on the front surface (light emitting surface) side of the light source device 1, and the problem is that the area of a portion other than the light emitting portion increases because these components are disposed. was there.

An electrode pin 23 formed in a substantially rod shape from a conductive material is inserted into the through-hole 4e from the upper side of the insulating member 4 so that the tip of the electrode pin 23 protrudes from the lower surface of the substrate 3. When the tip of the pin 23 is fixed to the fixed part, the light source device 1 is fixed to the fixed part in a state where the electrode pin 23 and the wiring pattern 8 are electrically connected. In addition, the hole diameter of the through hole 4e is formed to be smaller than the hole diameter of the opening hole 3c.

The light source device 1 is electrically and mechanically coupled to the instrument main body 40 by soldering the external connection terminals 8d thus formed to the wiring pattern 43 formed on the upper surface of the wiring board 42. At this time, since the lower surface of the substrate 3 protruding downward from the round hole 41 is thermally coupled to the heat radiating component 44 of the instrument body 40, the heat dissipation of the light source device 1 is improved. In this way, the lower surface of the substrate 3 is brought into contact with the heat radiating component 44 prepared separately from the wiring substrate 42, and the heat generated by the LED chip 2 is radiated through the heat radiating component 44. However, a low-priced glass epoxy substrate can be used, and the cost can be reduced.

When the substrate 3 is placed on the wiring substrate 42, the connection provided on the insulating member 4 is set. Since the terminal 8 f is electrically connected to the wiring pattern 43 provided on the wiring substrate 42, power can be supplied from the wiring substrate 42 to the LED chip 2. Therefore, when attaching the light source device 1 to the wiring board 42, the light source device 1 can be mounted on the pattern surface of the wiring board 42 as it is, and the lower surface of the substrate 3 is in contact with the wiring board 42.

[0106]
  In the light source device 1, two protruding base portions 11 are provided so as to protrude from both surfaces of the substrate 3. A recess 5 ′ that is open on the surface opposite to the substrate 3 is formed in a portion of the insulating member 4 corresponding to the protruding portion 11 of the substrate 3, and the insulating member 4 is formed at the bottom of the recess 5 ′.

In addition, the structure of the light source device 1 of this embodiment is the embodiment.2Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0110]
  As the insulating member 4, for example, a MID (Molded) formed of an insulating material such as liquid crystal polymer, polyphthalamide, polyphthalsulfone, epoxy, syndiotactic polystyrene (hereinafter referred to as SPS), polybutylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as PBT), or the like. Interconnect Device) is used, and the recess 5 ′ and the through hole 6 are formed by injection molding or transfer molding (see FIG. 20A).

[0120]
  By the way, in the conventional light source device, since the mounting part of the LED chip 2 is formed by cutting the insulating member, the processing cost is high and the surface of the mounting part of the LED chip 2 is cut and rough. However, in this embodiment, the substrate 3 and the insulating member 4 are insert-molded as described above from the through hole 6 of the insulating member 4.

[0130]
  Thereafter, a copper thin film having a film thickness of, for example, 0.3 μm is formed on the entire surface of the insulating member 4 by using vacuum deposition, DC sputtering, or RF sputtering. Next, the surface of the base plate 3 ′ on which the copper thin film is formed is irradiated with an electromagnetic wave such as a laser, and the plating base layer in the portion irradiated with the electromagnetic wave is removed. As the laser to be irradiated at this time, a laser with good absorption of the plating base material such as second or third harmonic YAG laser or YAG laser is preferable. For example, by scanning with a galvanometer mirror, the circuit portion (wiring pattern 8) By irradiating at least the boundary portion of the non-circuit portion with the circuit portion along the pattern of the non-circuit portion, the non-circuit portion is irradiated. The plating base layer in the boundary region with the circuit unit in the circuit unit is removed. After that, power is supplied to the circuit portion, electrolytic copper plating, electrolytic nickel plating, electrolytic silver plating, etc. are performed to form a wiring pattern 8 on which a metal film having a predetermined thickness is formed, and then the non-circuit portion is soft etched or the like.

Since the projecting part is formed by performing the above, there is an effect that the processing cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the projecting part is formed by cutting. In addition, when the substrate and the insulating member are bonded together with an adhesive, the entire substrate warps to the insulating member side due to the heat shrinkage of the adhesive, but by forming a recess by punching, the entire substrate is Since it warps on the opposite side to the insulating member, it is possible to cancel the warpage of the substrate caused by the thermal contraction of the adhesive, and to prevent the warpage of the substrate as a whole.

Since the extended portion is used as an external connection terminal, there is an effect that power can be easily supplied from the substrate side to the wiring portion. Although various forms of extending a part of the wiring part toward the substrate side can be considered, for example, the wiring part is extended to the substrate side along the end of the insulating member, or a through hole is formed in the insulating member. It is conceivable to extend the wiring portion to the substrate side by filling the through hole with a conductive material. In addition, the length of the wiring portion extending toward the substrate side is also determined as necessary, and may be extended to the middle of the insulating member or the surface on the substrate side, or a part of the wiring portion may wrap around the surface on the substrate side.
