Description

本発明は、LEDチップ(発光ダイオードチップ)を利用した発光装置およびそれを備えた照明器具に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a light-emitting equipment and lighting equipment provided therewith utilizing an LED chip (light-emitting diode chip).

従来から、LEDチップとLEDチップから放射された光によって励起されてLEDチップとは異なる発光色の光を放射する蛍光体とを組み合わせ所望の混色光(例えば、白色光)を得るようにした発光装置の研究開発が各所で行われている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。なお、この種の発光装置では、例えば、LEDチップとして青色光を放射する青色LEDチップを採用し、蛍光体として黄色蛍光体を採用することにより、白色光を得ることができる。   Conventionally, light emission in which a desired mixed color light (for example, white light) is obtained by combining an LED chip and a phosphor that emits light of a light emission color different from that of the LED chip when excited by light emitted from the LED chip. Research and development of the apparatus is performed in various places (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In this type of light emitting device, for example, a blue LED chip that emits blue light is used as the LED chip, and a yellow phosphor is used as the phosphor, whereby white light can be obtained.

ところで、上記特許文献1には、図11に示すように、LEDチップ1’と、当該LEDチップ1’が一表面側に実装されたセラミックス基板からなる実装基板2’と、透光性封止材(例えば、シリコーン樹脂など)により形成され実装基板2’の上記一表面側でLEDチップ1’を封止した半球状の封止部3’と、LEDチップ1’から放射される光によって励起されてLEDチップ1’とは異なる発光色の光を放射する蛍光体を含有した透光性材料(例えば、シリコーン樹脂など)により形成され封止部3’を囲む形で実装基板2’の上記一表面側に配設されたドーム状の色変換部材4’とを備えた発光装置A’が記載されている。ここにおいて、色変換部材4’の内面は半球面状に形成されている。   Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 11, the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 includes an LED chip 1 ′, a mounting substrate 2 ′ made of a ceramic substrate on which the LED chip 1 ′ is mounted on one surface side, and a translucent sealing. Excited by light emitted from LED chip 1 ′ and hemispherical sealing portion 3 ′ formed of a material (for example, silicone resin) and sealing LED chip 1 ′ on the one surface side of mounting substrate 2 ′ The above-mentioned mounting substrate 2 ′ is formed of a translucent material (for example, silicone resin) containing a phosphor that emits light of a different emission color from the LED chip 1 ′ and surrounds the sealing portion 3 ′. A light emitting device A ′ including a dome-shaped color conversion member 4 ′ disposed on one surface side is described. Here, the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 ′ is formed in a hemispherical shape.

また、図11に示した発光装置A’を光源として組み込んだ照明器具の一例として、図12(a)に示す構成のものが考えられている(公知文献にかかるものではない)。   Further, as an example of a lighting fixture in which the light emitting device A ′ shown in FIG. 11 is incorporated as a light source, a configuration shown in FIG. 12A is considered (not related to known literature).

ここにおいて、図12(a)に示した照明器具は、上述の発光装置A’と、発光装置A’が収納される有底円筒状の器具本体9と、器具本体9内に収納され発光装置A’から放射される光の配光を制御するハイブリッドレンズ6と、ハイブリッドレンズ6の外側面から外方へ延設された外鍔部6dを器具本体9の開口縁に形成された溝部9bの底面との間に保持する円環状の保持枠10とを備えている。   Here, the lighting fixture shown in FIG. 12A includes the above-described light emitting device A ′, a bottomed cylindrical fixture main body 9 in which the light emitting device A ′ is accommodated, and the light emitting device accommodated in the fixture main body 9. A hybrid lens 6 for controlling the light distribution of the light emitted from A ′, and a groove portion 9 b formed on the opening edge of the instrument body 9 with an outer flange portion 6 d extending outward from the outer surface of the hybrid lens 6. An annular holding frame 10 is provided between the bottom surface and the bottom surface.

上述のハイブリッドレンズ6は、図12(b)に示すように、発光装置A’側に形成された凹所61の内底面61aと内側面61bとが光入射面6aを構成しており、光入射面6a側の焦点Fから凹所61の内底面61aへ入射した光を屈折させて更に光出射面6bで屈折させる機能と、光入射面6a側の焦点Fから凹所61の内側面61bへ入射した光を屈折させた後に外側面6cで全反射させ更に光出射面6bで屈折させる機能とを有しており、図12(b)中に矢印で示すように焦点Fから放射され光入射面6aへ入射した光が光出射面6bから出射される。なお、ハイブリッドレンズ6は、外側面6cが回転放物面状に形成され、光出射面6aが凸曲面状に形成されているが、外側面6cはLEDチップ1’の光軸方向においてLEDチップ1’から離れるにつれて外形が徐々に大きくなる曲面状であって凹所61の内側面61bから入射した光を光出射面6a側へ全反射できる形状であればよく、光出射面6aは平面状でもよいし、フレネルレンズ状でもよい。   In the hybrid lens 6 described above, as shown in FIG. 12B, the inner bottom surface 61a and the inner side surface 61b of the recess 61 formed on the light emitting device A ′ side constitute a light incident surface 6a. The function of refracting light incident on the inner bottom surface 61a of the recess 61 from the focal point F on the incident surface 6a side and further refracting it on the light exit surface 6b, and the inner surface 61b of the recess 61 from the focal point F on the light incident surface 6a side. Refracted light after being refracted and then totally reflected by the outer surface 6c and further refracted by the light exit surface 6b, and is emitted from the focal point F as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 12B. Light incident on the incident surface 6a is emitted from the light emitting surface 6b. In the hybrid lens 6, the outer surface 6c is formed in a paraboloid shape and the light emitting surface 6a is formed in a convex curved surface, but the outer surface 6c is an LED chip in the optical axis direction of the LED chip 1 ′. As long as it is away from 1 ′, the outer shape gradually increases in shape, and any shape that can totally reflect the light incident from the inner side surface 61b of the recess 61 toward the light emitting surface 6a side is acceptable, and the light emitting surface 6a is planar. However, it may be a Fresnel lens shape.

なお、上述の発光装置A’を光源として組み込んだ照明器具としては、図12(a)の例に限らず、発光装置A’から放射される光の配光を制御する配光制御部材として、ハイブリッドレンズ6の代わりに、色変換部材4’の外面から放射されて入射した光を反射させ狭角配光が得られるように内側面の形状が設計された反射鏡(例えば、内側面がドーム状の色変換部材4の頂点を焦点とする放物面状に形成された反射鏡)を用いることも考えられる。また、図11に示した発光装置A’は、実装基板2’の上記一表面側に1個のLEDチップ1’が実装されているが、上記特許文献1には、実装基板2’の上記一表面側に複数個のLEDチップ1’を実装したものも開示されている。
特開2007−35951号公報
In addition, as a lighting fixture incorporating the above-described light emitting device A ′ as a light source, not only the example of FIG. 12A, but also as a light distribution control member for controlling the light distribution of light emitted from the light emitting device A ′, Instead of the hybrid lens 6, a reflecting mirror whose inner surface shape is designed so as to reflect light emitted from the outer surface of the color conversion member 4 ′ and obtain a narrow-angle light distribution (for example, the inner surface is a dome) It is also conceivable to use a reflecting mirror formed in a parabolic shape with the apex of the color conversion member 4 in the form of a focus as the focal point. In the light emitting device A ′ shown in FIG. 11, one LED chip 1 ′ is mounted on the one surface side of the mounting substrate 2 ′. A device in which a plurality of LED chips 1 'are mounted on one surface side is also disclosed.
JP 2007-35951 A

ところで、LEDチップ1’として、放射光強度の放射角依存性がランバート型分布で近似可能なLEDチップ(つまり、均等拡散の配光特性を有するLEDチップ)を用いた場合、LEDチップ1’は図13に示すような球状の配光特性B’を有し、LEDチップ1’の光取り出し面の中心点の法線方向の放射光強度をI、上記法線方向に対する角度をθ、角度θの方向の放射光強度をIθとすれば、Iθ=Icosθとなる。一方、ドーム状の色変換部材4’の内面における単位面積当たりの入射光強度(以下、入射密度と称する)は、概ねIθに比例し、且つ、LEDチップ1’と色変換部材4’の内面との距離の2乗に反比例する。 By the way, when the LED chip 1 ′ is an LED chip whose radiation angle dependency of the emitted light intensity can be approximated by a Lambertian distribution (that is, an LED chip having a uniform diffusion light distribution characteristic), the LED chip 1 ′ It has a spherical light distribution characteristic B ′ as shown in FIG. 13, the emitted light intensity in the normal direction of the center point of the light extraction surface of the LED chip 1 ′ is I 0 , the angle with respect to the normal direction is θ, and the angle If the emitted light intensity in the direction of θ is I θ , I θ = I 0 cos θ. On the other hand, the incident light intensity per unit area (hereinafter referred to as the incident density) on the inner surface of the dome-shaped color conversion member 4 ′ is substantially proportional to I θ and between the LED chip 1 ′ and the color conversion member 4 ′. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance to the inner surface.

しかしながら、図11に示した構成の発光装置A’では、色変換部材4’の内面が半球面状に形成されており、当該内面における入射密度が色変換部材4’の頂点に対応する部位で大きく、色変換部材4’の下端に近づくにつれて入射密度が小さくなる傾向を示すので、次のような問題が生じる。   However, in the light emitting device A ′ having the configuration shown in FIG. 11, the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 ′ is formed in a hemispherical shape, and the incident density on the inner surface corresponds to the apex of the color conversion member 4 ′. Since the incident density tends to decrease as it approaches the lower end of the color conversion member 4 ′, the following problem arises.

色変換部材4’の外面の輝度分布が、角度θが0°で輝度が最大となり角度θが大きくなるにつれて輝度が小さくなる輝度分布となるので、上述のハイブリッドレンズ6や反射鏡などの狭角配光に制御する配光制御部材を有する照明器具に組み込んで使用した場合、照射面での照射パターンの照度むらが大きくなってしまう(例えば、円形状の照射パターンの中央部に比べて周部の照度が小さくなる)。   Since the luminance distribution on the outer surface of the color conversion member 4 ′ is a luminance distribution in which the luminance is maximum when the angle θ is 0 ° and decreases as the angle θ increases, the narrow angle of the hybrid lens 6 or the reflecting mirror described above is reduced. When incorporated in a lighting fixture having a light distribution control member that controls light distribution, the illuminance unevenness of the irradiation pattern on the irradiation surface becomes large (for example, the peripheral portion compared to the central portion of the circular irradiation pattern) Illuminance is reduced).

また、上述の発光装置A’では、点灯時に、LEDチップ1’だけでなく、色変換部材4’内に分散されている蛍光体もストークスシフトによるエネルギ損失に起因して発熱するが、色変換部材4’は、シリコーン樹脂などの熱伝導率の小さな透光性材料を母材として蛍光体が分散されているので、色変換部材4’の内面における入射密度の分布に起因して色変換部材4’での温度分布が大きくなる。ここで、蛍光体の量子効率(波長変換効率)は温度が低いほど高くなるが、上述の発光装置A’では、色変換部材4’の温度分布が大きいので、色変換部材4’全体として量子効率が低くなり、発光装置A’全体としての光取り出し効率が低下する。   In the above-described light emitting device A ′, not only the LED chip 1 ′ but also the phosphor dispersed in the color conversion member 4 ′ generates heat due to energy loss due to the Stokes shift at the time of lighting. The member 4 ′ is a color conversion member due to the distribution of the incident density on the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 ′ because the phosphor is dispersed using a translucent material having a low thermal conductivity such as silicone resin as a base material. The temperature distribution at 4 'increases. Here, the quantum efficiency (wavelength conversion efficiency) of the phosphor becomes higher as the temperature is lower. However, in the above-described light emitting device A ′, the temperature distribution of the color conversion member 4 ′ is large, so that the color conversion member 4 ′ as a whole is quantum. The efficiency is lowered, and the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device A ′ as a whole is lowered.

色変換部材4’の温度を低減する手段として、色変換部材4’のサイズを大きくする手段があるが、LEDチップ1’と色変換部材4’とで構成される発光部が大きくなり、照明器具に組み込んだ際に、ハイブリッドレンズ6のような配光レンズや反射鏡などの配光制御部材での配光制御性が低下してしまう。   As a means for reducing the temperature of the color conversion member 4 ′, there is a means for increasing the size of the color conversion member 4 ′. However, the light emitting section constituted by the LED chip 1 ′ and the color conversion member 4 ′ becomes large, and illumination is performed. When incorporated in a fixture, the light distribution controllability of a light distribution control member such as a light distribution lens such as the hybrid lens 6 or a reflecting mirror is degraded.

本発明は上記事由に鑑みて為されたものであり、その目的は、色変換部材の外面の輝度の均一化を図れ且つ光取り出し効率の向上を図れる発光装置およびそれを備えた照明器具を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is a light-emitting equipment and lighting equipment provided therewith thereby improving the outer surface equalized Hakare and light extraction efficiency of the luminance of the color conversion member It is to provide.

実装基板2は、セラミック基板(例えば、アルミナセラミック基板、窒化アルミニウム基板など)からなる絶縁性基板の一表面側に金属材料(例えば、Cuなど)からなる配線パターンが形成されている。なお、実装基板2の絶縁性基板は、セラミック基板に限らず、ガラスエポキシ樹脂基板やホーロー基板などを用いてもよいが、セラミック基板のような熱伝導性材料により形成されたものが好ましい。なお、本実施形態では、実装基板2の外周形状が円形状となっているが、円形状に限らず、多角形状でもよい。また、本実施形態では、LEDチップ1は、実装基板2の配線パターンの一部からなるダイパッド部に半田や銀ペーストなどの熱伝導性を有する接合材料を用いて接合されている。   The mounting substrate 2 has a wiring pattern made of a metal material (for example, Cu) formed on one surface side of an insulating substrate made of a ceramic substrate (for example, an alumina ceramic substrate or an aluminum nitride substrate). The insulating substrate of the mounting substrate 2 is not limited to a ceramic substrate, and a glass epoxy resin substrate, a hollow substrate, or the like may be used, but a substrate formed of a heat conductive material such as a ceramic substrate is preferable.

これに対して、本実施形態の発光装置Aでは、実装基板2の上記一表面においてLEDチップ1を包含する仮想円の中心をLEDチップ1からなる点光源10と仮定して、図1(b)に示すように、LEDチップ1の厚み方向に沿った方向に対する角度θの方向における点光源10と色変換部材4の内面との距離をrとし、色変換部材4の上部の内面をIθ・r=一定となる形状に形成してあり、色変換部材4の光軸と点光源10の光軸(本実施形態では、LEDチップ1の光軸)とが一致するようにLEDチップ1および色変換部材4を実装基板2の上記一表面に実装してある。 On the other hand, in the light emitting device A of the present embodiment, assuming that the center of the virtual circle including the LED chip 1 on the one surface of the mounting substrate 2 is the point light source 10 made of the LED chip 1, FIG. ), The distance between the point light source 10 and the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 in the direction of the angle θ with respect to the direction along the thickness direction of the LED chip 1 is r, and the upper inner surface of the color conversion member 4 is I θ. LED chip 1 is formed in a shape where r 2 = constant, and the optical axis of the color conversion member 4 and the optical axis of the point light source 10 (in this embodiment, the optical axis of the LED chip 1) coincide. The color conversion member 4 is mounted on the one surface of the mounting substrate 2.

ここで、角度θの方向における点光源10と色変換部材4の内面との距離を1として規格化した場合のIθ・r=一定となる仮想の色変換部材の内面の軌跡を図1(b)中に一点鎖線「ロ」で示し、図11に示した従来例のように色変換部材4’が半球状の場合の色変換部材4’の内面の形状を同図中に破線「ハ」で示し、本実施形態の色変換部材4の内面の形状を同図中に実線「イ」で示す。ここにおいて、本実施形態における色変換部材4の内面は、当該色変換部材4の光軸と実装基板2の上記一表面との交点O1(図1(a)参照)を中心(つまり、上記点光源10を中心)とし当該色変換部材4の光軸方向を長径方向とする楕円面の一部により構成されており、色変換部材4の中心から離れるにつれて曲率が小さくなる形状となり、色変換部材4において内面の高さが1〜0.8となる部分のみがIθ・r=一定となっている。 Here, when the distance between the point light source 10 and the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 in the direction of the angle θ is normalized as 1, the locus of the inner surface of the virtual color conversion member where I θ · r 2 = constant is shown in FIG. (B) is indicated by an alternate long and short dash line “B”, and the shape of the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 ′ when the color conversion member 4 ′ is hemispherical as in the conventional example shown in FIG. The shape of the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 of the present embodiment is indicated by a solid line “A” in FIG. Here, the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 in the present embodiment is centered on the intersection O1 (see FIG. 1A) between the optical axis of the color conversion member 4 and the one surface of the mounting substrate 2 (that is, the above point). The color conversion member 4 is a part of an elliptical surface with the optical axis direction of the color conversion member 4 as the major axis direction, and the curvature decreases with increasing distance from the center of the color conversion member 4. only the portion the height of the inner surface is 1 to 0.8 is in the I θ · r 2 = constant at 4.

以上説明した本実施形態の発光装置Aによれば、実装基板2の上記一表面において実装基板2に実装された1個のLEDチップ1を内包する仮想円の中心を当該1個のLEDチップ1からなる点光源10と仮定して当該点光源10においてLEDチップ1の厚み方向に沿った方向に対する角度をθ、角度θの方向の放射光強度をIθ、角度θの方向における点光源10と色変換部材4の内面との距離をrとするとき、色変換部材4の上部をIθ・r=一定となる形状に形成してあるので、色変換部材4の内面での入射密度の均一化を図れ、色変換部材4の温度分布の均一化による蛍光体の量子効率の向上を図れるから、色変換部材4の外面の輝度の均一化を図れ且つ光取り出し効率の向上を図れる。なお、角度θが90°に近づくにつれて放射光強度Iθは小さくなるので、色変換部材4全体をIθ・r=一定となる形状としてもよいが、この場合は色変換部材4の製造が難しくなりコストアップの原因となるので、色変換部材4の上部のみIθ・r=一定となる形状として、色変換部材4の内面を上述の楕円面の一部により構成することが好ましい。 According to the light emitting device A of the present embodiment described above, the center of the virtual circle that encloses one LED chip 1 mounted on the mounting substrate 2 on the one surface of the mounting substrate 2 is the one LED chip 1. And the point light source 10 in the direction of the angle θ with respect to the direction along the thickness direction of the LED chip 1 is assumed to be θ, and the emitted light intensity in the direction of the angle θ is I θ . When the distance from the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 is r, the upper portion of the color conversion member 4 is formed in a shape where I θ · r 2 = constant, so that the incident density on the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 is Uniformity can be achieved and the quantum efficiency of the phosphor can be improved by making the temperature distribution of the color conversion member 4 uniform, so that the luminance of the outer surface of the color conversion member 4 can be made uniform and the light extraction efficiency can be improved. Since the emitted light intensity I θ decreases as the angle θ approaches 90 °, the entire color conversion member 4 may have a shape where I θ · r 2 = constant. In this case, the color conversion member 4 is manufactured. Therefore, it is preferable that only the upper part of the color conversion member 4 has a constant I θ · r 2 = constant shape, and the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 is constituted by a part of the above-described elliptical surface. .

また、本実施形態の発光装置Aでは、上述のように、色変換部材4の外面の輝度の均一化を図れるので、ハイブリッドレンズ6(図12参照)のような配光レンズや反射鏡などの狭角配光に制御する配光制御部材を有する照明器具に組み込んで使用する場合、照射面での照射パターンの照度むらを小さくすることができる。なお、配光レンズは、アクリル樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、ガラスなどにより形成されるので、照明器具に組み込んで使用するという観点でみれば、発光装置Aの点灯時の色変換部材4の温度は100℃以下であることが望ましい。   Further, in the light emitting device A of the present embodiment, the luminance of the outer surface of the color conversion member 4 can be made uniform as described above, so that a light distribution lens such as the hybrid lens 6 (see FIG. 12), a reflecting mirror, and the like can be obtained. When incorporated in a lighting fixture having a light distribution control member that controls narrow-angle light distribution, the illuminance unevenness of the irradiation pattern on the irradiation surface can be reduced. Since the light distribution lens is formed of acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, glass, or the like, the temperature of the color conversion member 4 when the light emitting device A is turned on is 100 ° C. from the viewpoint of being incorporated in a lighting fixture. The following is desirable.

ところで、上述のように、色変換部材4の内面は、当該色変換部材4の光軸と実装基板2の上記一表面との交点O1を中心とし当該色変換部材4の光軸方向を長径方向とする楕円面の一部により構成されているが、上記楕円面の長半径/短半径の値を種々変化させた場合の角度θと入射密度との関係をシミュレーションした結果を図3および図4に示す。なお、図3および図4の横軸は上述の角度θを示し、縦軸は角度θの方向における色変換部材4の内面への入射密度を示している。また、図3および図4中に記載したφ1,φ2,H1,H2,a,bの各パラメータに関しては、図1(a)のように、φ1が平面視における色変換部材4の外径、H1が色変換部材4の外面の高さ、φ2が平面視における色変換部材4の内径、H2が色変換部材4の内面の高さ、aが上記楕円面の長半径(a=H2)、bが上記楕円面の短半径(b=φ2/2)である。   By the way, as described above, the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 is centered on the intersection O1 between the optical axis of the color conversion member 4 and the one surface of the mounting substrate 2, and the optical axis direction of the color conversion member 4 is the major axis direction. 3 and 4 show the results of simulating the relationship between the angle θ and the incident density when the major radius / minor radius value of the ellipsoid is changed variously. Shown in 3 and 4, the horizontal axis indicates the angle θ described above, and the vertical axis indicates the incident density on the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 in the direction of the angle θ. Further, regarding the parameters φ1, φ2, H1, H2, a, and b described in FIGS. 3 and 4, φ1 is the outer diameter of the color conversion member 4 in plan view, as shown in FIG. H1 is the height of the outer surface of the color conversion member 4, φ2 is the inner diameter of the color conversion member 4 in plan view, H2 is the height of the inner surface of the color conversion member 4, a is the major radius of the elliptical surface (a = H2), b is the short radius (b = φ2 / 2) of the elliptical surface.

図3および図4から、上記楕円面の長半径/短半径=a/bが1.2〜1.3であれば、入射密度の均一化を図れ、a/bが1.02の場合のように角度θが大きくなるにつれて入射密度が低くなったり、a/bが1.52や1.77の場合のように角度θが大きくなるにつれて入射密度が高くなるのを防止することできることが分かる。なお、図1(b)の「イ」は、a/b=1.27の場合の色変換部材4の内面の形状を示している。   3 and 4, when the major radius / minor radius = a / b of the ellipsoid is 1.2 to 1.3, the incident density can be made uniform, and when a / b is 1.02. Thus, it can be seen that the incident density decreases as the angle θ increases, or that the incident density increases as the angle θ increases as in the case of a / b of 1.52 or 1.77. . Note that “a” in FIG. 1B indicates the shape of the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 when a / b = 1.27.

(実施形態2)
本実施形態の発光装置Aの基本構成は実施形態1と略同じであり、図5に示すように、色変換部材4の内側にLEDチップ1を封止する透光性材料からなる封止部3が充実されている点が相違する。なお、実施形態1と同様の構成要素には同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 2)
The basic configuration of the light emitting device A of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, a sealing portion made of a translucent material that seals the LED chip 1 inside the color conversion member 4. 3 is different. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component similar to Embodiment 1, and description is abbreviate | omitted.

封止部3は、透光性材料としてシリコーン樹脂を採用しているが、シリコーン樹脂に限らず、エポキシ樹脂、ガラスなどを採用してもよい。   Although the sealing part 3 employs a silicone resin as the translucent material, it is not limited to the silicone resin, and may employ an epoxy resin, glass, or the like.

しかして、本実施形態の発光装置Aでは、LEDチップ1と色変換部材4との間の空間の媒質が空気である場合に比べて、LEDチップ1と当該LEDチップ1の光取り出し面に接する媒質との屈折率差が小さくなるので、LEDチップ1からの光取り出し効率が向上し、また、色変換部材4と当該色変換部材4の内面に接する媒質との屈折率差が小さくなるので、色変換部材4への入射効率が向上し、発光装置A全体の光取り出し効率が向上する。   Therefore, in the light emitting device A of the present embodiment, the LED chip 1 and the light extraction surface of the LED chip 1 are in contact with each other as compared with the case where the medium in the space between the LED chip 1 and the color conversion member 4 is air. Since the refractive index difference with the medium is reduced, the light extraction efficiency from the LED chip 1 is improved, and the refractive index difference between the color conversion member 4 and the medium in contact with the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 is reduced. Incidence efficiency to the color conversion member 4 is improved, and light extraction efficiency of the entire light emitting device A is improved.

(実施形態3)
本実施形態の発光装置Aの基本構成は実施形態2と略同じであり、図6に示すように、封止部3が、色変換部材4とは長径方向および短径方向が逆の半楕球状の形状に形成されており、凸レンズとしての機能を有し、封止部3と色変換部材4との間に空気層5が形成されている点が相違する。ここで、封止部3は、LEDチップ1と光軸が一致する形で形成されている。要するに、封止部3は、色変換部材4の長径方向に当該封止部3の短径方向が一致し、色変換部材4の短径方向に当該封止部3の長径方向が一致する形で形成されている。ここで、LEDチップ1から放射された光は、封止部3と空気層5との界面で屈折するが、当該封止部3の形状では界面への入射角が小さいので、屈折する角度が小さく、封止部3から出射される光の配光はLEDチップ1から出射される光の配光と大差なく、略同じとなる。なお、実施形態2と同様の構成要素には同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 3)
The basic configuration of the light emitting device A of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the sealing portion 3 is a semi-elliptical whose major axis direction and minor axis direction are opposite to those of the color conversion member 4. It is formed in a spherical shape, has a function as a convex lens, and is different in that an air layer 5 is formed between the sealing portion 3 and the color conversion member 4. Here, the sealing part 3 is formed so that the optical axis coincides with the LED chip 1. In short, the sealing part 3 has a shape in which the minor axis direction of the sealing part 3 matches the major axis direction of the color conversion member 4 and the major axis direction of the sealing part 3 matches the minor axis direction of the color conversion member 4. It is formed with. Here, the light emitted from the LED chip 1 is refracted at the interface between the sealing portion 3 and the air layer 5, but the angle of refraction is small because the angle of incidence on the interface is small in the shape of the sealing portion 3. The light distribution of the light emitted from the sealing portion 3 is small and substantially the same as the light distribution of the light emitted from the LED chip 1. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component similar to Embodiment 2, and description is abbreviate | omitted.

また、封止部3の長半径は、LEDチップ1を内包する仮想円(ここでは、外接円)の半径の1.41倍に設定してあるが、この数値は一例であって、特に限定するものではない。また、封止部3の形状も半楕球状に限らず、例えば、半球状でもよい。   The major radius of the sealing portion 3 is set to 1.41 times the radius of a virtual circle (here, circumscribed circle) that encloses the LED chip 1, but this numerical value is an example and is particularly limited. Not what you want. Further, the shape of the sealing portion 3 is not limited to a hemispherical shape, and may be a hemispherical shape, for example.

以上説明した本実施形態の発光装置Aでは、封止部3と色変換部材4との間に空気層5が形成されているので、LEDチップ1から放射され色変換部材4中の蛍光体により散乱された光のうち封止部3側へ散乱されて封止部3を通過する光の光量を低減できて発光装置A全体としての外部への光取り出し効率の向上を図れる。   In the light emitting device A of the present embodiment described above, since the air layer 5 is formed between the sealing portion 3 and the color conversion member 4, it is emitted from the LED chip 1 by the phosphor in the color conversion member 4. Of the scattered light, the amount of light scattered toward the sealing portion 3 and passing through the sealing portion 3 can be reduced, and the light extraction efficiency as a whole of the light emitting device A can be improved.

(実施形態4)
本実施形態の発光装置Aの基本構成は実施形態3と略同じであり、図7に示すように、複数個(図示例では、15個)のLEDチップ1が実装基板2の上記一表面側に実装してあり、実装基板2の上記一表面において上記一表面側に実装された複数個のLEDチップ1全てを内包する仮想円CVの中心を当該複数個のLEDチップ1からなる点光源10と仮定して、LEDチップ1の厚み方向に沿った方向に対する角度θの方向における点光源10と色変換部材4の内面との距離をrとし、色変換部材4の上部の内面をIθ・r=一定となる形状に形成してある点が相違する。なお、実施形態3と同様の構成要素には同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。

The basic configuration of the light emitting device A of the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality (15 in the illustrated example) of LED chips 1 are mounted on the one surface side of the mounting substrate 2. A point light source 10 comprising the plurality of LED chips 1 at the center of a virtual circle CV that includes all of the plurality of LED chips 1 mounted on the one surface side on the one surface of the mounting substrate 2. Assuming that the distance between the point light source 10 and the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 in the direction of the angle θ with respect to the direction along the thickness direction of the LED chip 1 is r, the upper inner surface of the color conversion member 4 is I θ · The difference is that it is formed in a shape where r 2 = constant. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component similar to Embodiment 3, and description is abbreviate | omitted.

本実施形態では、上述の複数個のLEDチップ1を図7(b)に示すように2つの同心状の仮想円VC1,VC2上に分けて配置してある。具体的には、内側の仮想円VC1上(仮想円VC1の円周上)に5個のLEDチップ1を等間隔で配置し(要するに、正5角形の各頂点にLEDチップ1の中心が位置している)、外側の仮想円VC2上(仮想円VC2の円周上)に10個のLEDチップ1を等間隔で配置してある(要するに、正10角形の各頂点にLEDチップ1の中心が位置している)。ここで、本実施形態では、内側の仮想円VC1の直径を6mm、外側の仮想円VC2の直径を13.5mmに設定してあり、実施形態1にて説明したφ1,H1,φ2,H2それぞれを、φ1=40mm、H1=25.5mm、φ2(=2b)=36mm、H2(=a)=23.5mmに設定してあり、a/b=1.3となっている。また、本実施形態では、色変換部材4の厚みを2mmとしてある。   In the present embodiment, the plurality of LED chips 1 described above are arranged separately on two concentric virtual circles VC1 and VC2 as shown in FIG. 7B. Specifically, five LED chips 1 are arranged at equal intervals on the inner virtual circle VC1 (on the circumference of the virtual circle VC1) (in short, the center of the LED chip 1 is positioned at each vertex of the regular pentagon). 10 LED chips 1 are arranged at equal intervals on the outer virtual circle VC2 (on the circumference of the virtual circle VC2) (in short, the center of the LED chip 1 at each apex of the regular decagon). Is located). Here, in this embodiment, the diameter of the inner virtual circle VC1 is set to 6 mm, and the diameter of the outer virtual circle VC2 is set to 13.5 mm, and each of φ1, H1, φ2, and H2 described in the first embodiment is set. Are set to φ1 = 40 mm, H1 = 25.5 mm, φ2 (= 2b) = 36 mm, H2 (= a) = 23.5 mm, and a / b = 1.3. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the color conversion member 4 is 2 mm.

また、本実施形態の発光装置Aは、LEDチップ1が青色LEDチップであるとともに、色変換部材4の蛍光体が黄色蛍光体、透光性材料がシリコーン樹脂であり、色変換部材4の内面の表面積が2461〔mm〕、点光源10へ規定の入力電力を与えたときの点光源10の光出力(本実施形態では、15個のLEDチップ1の合計の光出力)が9769〔mW〕となっている。ここで、色変換部材4の内面の表面積をS〔mm〕、点光源10へ規定の入力電力を与えたときの点光源10の光出力をP〔mW〕とするとき、S/P〔mm/mW〕の値を下記表1のように種々変化させた場合の角度θと角度θの方向における色変換部材4の温度との関係を調べた結果を図8に示す。 In the light emitting device A of the present embodiment, the LED chip 1 is a blue LED chip, the phosphor of the color conversion member 4 is a yellow phosphor, the translucent material is a silicone resin, and the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 surface area of 2461 [mm 2], (in the present embodiment, the sum of the light output of 15 LED chips 1) the light output of the point light source 10 when given input power defined to the point light source 10 is 9769 [mW ]. Here, when the surface area of the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 is S [mm 2 ] and the light output of the point light source 10 when a prescribed input power is applied to the point light source 10 is P [mW], S / P [ FIG. 8 shows the results of examining the relationship between the angle θ and the temperature of the color conversion member 4 in the direction of the angle θ when the value of [mm 2 / mW] is variously changed as shown in Table 1 below.

図8から、S/Pの値によらず、角度θが0°となる色変換部材4の頂点で温度が最も高くなっていることが分かる。一方で、S/Pの値と色変換部材4の頂点の温度との関係は図9に示すようになり、S/Pの値が0.2を下回らないように色変換部材4の内面の表面積Sを設定すれば、色変換部材4の温度を100℃以下とすることができ、蛍光体の温度上昇による蛍光体の量子効率の低下を抑制でき、光取り出し効率の向上を図れることが分かる。なお、本実施形態の発光装置Aでは、色変換部材4の内面の表面積Sが2461〔mm〕、点光源10の光出力Pが9769〔mW〕、S/Pの値が0.25〔mm/mW〕であり、上述の角度θと入射密度との関係は図10(a)に示すような分布となり、角度θと色変換部材4の温度との関係は図10(b)に示すような分布となる。また、本実施形態では、点光源10が複数個のLEDチップ1により構成されているが、他の実施形態1〜3のように点光源10が1個のLEDチップ1により構成される場合にも、S/Pの値が0.2を下回らないように色変換部材4の内面の表面積Sを設定すれば、色変換部材4の温度を100℃以下とすることができ、蛍光体の温度上昇による蛍光体の量子効率の低下を抑制でき、光取り出し効率の向上を図れる。 FIG. 8 shows that the temperature is highest at the apex of the color conversion member 4 where the angle θ is 0 ° regardless of the value of S / P. On the other hand, the relationship between the S / P value and the temperature of the apex of the color conversion member 4 is as shown in FIG. 9, and the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 is kept so that the S / P value does not fall below 0.2. If the surface area S is set, it can be seen that the temperature of the color conversion member 4 can be set to 100 ° C. or less, the decrease in the quantum efficiency of the phosphor due to the temperature rise of the phosphor can be suppressed, and the light extraction efficiency can be improved. . In the light emitting device A of the present embodiment, the surface area S of the inner surface of the color conversion member 4 is 2461 [mm 2 ], the light output P of the point light source 10 is 9769 [mW], and the value of S / P is 0.25 [ mm 2 / mW], and the relationship between the angle θ and the incident density is as shown in FIG. 10A, and the relationship between the angle θ and the temperature of the color conversion member 4 is shown in FIG. The distribution is as shown. Further, in the present embodiment, the point light source 10 is configured by a plurality of LED chips 1, but when the point light source 10 is configured by one LED chip 1 as in the other embodiments 1-3.
