Abstract
A light emitting module including a PCB and LED light sources arranged on the PCB is disclosed, wherein the LED light sources of the light emitting module include a plurality of white light sources each composed of a combination of a blue LED chip and a yellow phosphor, and a blue LED chip. It comprises a plurality of red light sources each consisting of a combination of red phosphors.
Description
The present invention relates to a light emitting module used in a luminaire or a back light unit (BLU), and more particularly, to a light emitting module including a plurality of white light sources and a plurality of red light sources.
The development of lighting devices or backlight units using LEDs is increasing. LED is basically composed of p-type and n-type semiconductor junction, and it is a device using light emitting semiconductor that emits energy corresponding to band gap of semiconductor in the form of light by combining electron and hole when voltage is applied.
White light emitting devices are known which produce white light using three primary LEDs of red, green and blue colors. Such a white light emitting device has a problem in that the circuit configuration is complicated, the uniform white light is difficult to be realized due to the distance difference between the three primary LEDs, and the economy is also poor. In addition, the method using the three primary color LED has a poor color rendering problem.
FIG. 11 shows the full color of the conventional white light emitting device on the CIE1931 chromaticity coordinate diagram. Referring to FIG. 11, a triangle representing the three primary color coordinates used by the NTSC standard is displayed, and a red color within the triangle is shown. The light in the white region may be implemented according to the change in the slope of the coordinates due to the current applied to the (R), green (G), and blue (B) LEDs. At this time, the white region is displayed along a black body locus curve (BBL curve), and the slope of the black body radiation curve increases from ∞ to about 4000K based on the horizontal axis and the vertical axis xy and then decreases after about 4000K. It has an aspect. Therefore, the red, blue, and green LEDs alone do not implement good color rendering light (particularly, warm white light) following the blackbody radiation curve.
On the other hand, a white light emitting device for producing white light by using a combination of a blue LED and a yellow phosphor is also known. Such a conventional white light emitting device has the advantages of a simple circuit configuration and a low cost, but of course the color rendering is inferior. However, the color reproducibility is also greatly reduced due to the low light intensity at long wavelengths.
Further, a light emitting device that produces white light by a combination of red and green phosphors having different excitation wavelengths and a blue LED chip is also known in the art. Such a white light emitting device has blue, green, and red peak wavelengths, and therefore, color rendering and color reproducibility are better than those of light emitting devices using a kind of yellow phosphor. However, such a light emitting device has a problem in that the light loss is large and the efficiency of the phosphor is also low because heterogeneous phosphors are positioned without being separated from each other in one encapsulant.
On the other hand, in the related art, a hybrid type light emitting module in which a red LED chip is added to an existing white light emitting device has been proposed as a part for compensating relatively insufficient red light and improving color rendering. However, such a hybrid type light emitting module has difficulty in achieving white balance due to the use of a red LED chip vulnerable to heat and its deterioration phenomenon, and therefore, it has not been mass produced or put into practical use.

In this case, the white light source and the red light source may be separated by a partition wall dividing a cavity of the LED package. More specifically, each of the plurality of LED packages includes an outer wall defining a cavity in which the white light source and the red light source are accommodated, and a partition wall separating the white light source and the red light source, wherein the outer wall is a light guide plate or an optical fiber. In contact with the panel and the partition wall is spaced apart from the light guide plate or the optical panel.
Preferably, each of the plurality of white light sources is located at vertices of a plurality of consecutive regular polygonal arrays, and each of the plurality of red light sources is located at the center of each of the regular polygonal arrays. More preferably, the regular polygonal arrangement may be a regular hexagonal arrangement.
Preferably, the light of each of the white light sources is in a rectangular region defined by color coordinates (0.29, 0.45), (0.33, 0.37), (0.52, 0.47), (0.45, 0.54) on the CIE chromaticity diagram, The light of each of the red light sources is in a rectangular region defined by color coordinates (0.36, 0.34), (0.44, 0.2), (0.67, 0.32), (0.55, 0.44) on the CIE chromaticity diagram.
Preferably, the white light sources can emit light alone or together with the red light source. In addition, the color temperature of the light generated by the white light sources and the red light sources may be 2500K-4500.
According to an embodiment, each of the blue LED chips of the white light sources may be a multi-cell type LED chip including a plurality of light emitting cells. In this case, the multi-cell type LED chip may be an AC LED chip operated by an AC power source. In this case, at least one of the white light sources may include a delayed phosphor.
Preferably, each of the white light sources is a combination of a blue LED chip and at least one phosphor having a peak wavelength in the range of 500 to 600 nm. Alternatively, the phosphor of each of the white light sources can be selected from a yellow phosphor, a combination of green and amber phosphors, and a combination of green, amber and red phosphors.

As used herein, the term 'white light' is defined as a broader range of white light, including warm white light.

In the present embodiment, the white light sources W generate white light by the blue LED chip and the yellow phosphor, and the red light sources R generate red light by the blue LED chip and the red phosphor. The white light sources W generate white light as basic light, and the red light sources R adjust the CRI of the white light. Therefore, the number of the white light sources W is greater than the number of the red light sources R, and preferably, the number ratio of the white light source to the red light source is 2: 1 to 7: 1.
The LED light sources are preferably arranged such that the red light generated from each of the red light sources R is uniformly mixed with respect to the white light sources W adjacent to the corresponding red light source R.
To this end, in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the white light source (W) is arranged to be located at the vertex of the regular hexagon (A1) indicated by a dashed line on the PCB (100). The regular hexagonal arrays are continuous in all directions. In addition, each of the red light sources R is located at the center of the corresponding hexagonal arrangement in which the white light sources W occupy six vertices. Therefore, the red light generated from the corresponding red light source R is mixed with the white light generated from all the white light sources W adjacent thereto at a predetermined distance to compensate for the relatively insufficient red light, and further, to adjust the CRI of the white light. Can be. At this time, it can also be seen that the small regular hexagon A1 array defined by the white light sources W is located in the large regular hexagon A2 (indicated by the double-dotted line) array defined by the red light sources R. Alternatively, the white light sources W may be located at the vertices of other regular polygonal arrangements other than the regular hexagon, and the corresponding red light source R may be located at the center of the regular polygonal arrangement. Also, it may be considered that the red light source R is spaced apart from the plurality of white light sources W adjacent thereto by a predetermined distance. The light emitting module in the arrangement as shown in FIG. 1 is applicable to lighting fixtures, but is very suitable for a backlight unit, in particular a direct backlight unit.

However, since the basic light as described above lacks red light and decreases color rendering, it is necessary to supplement red light and adjust CRI. The red light source R generates red light mixed with the basic light emitted from the white light source W. At this time, the red light source R emits red light by mixing the blue light emitted by the

The CRI tunable light generated by the red light source R, which is determined to be in the first region, is the color coordinates (0.36, 0.34), (0.44, 0.2), (0.67, 0.32), (0.55, 0.44) on the CIE chromaticity diagram. It is determined to be within the second area of the rectangle defined by. At this time, the light obtained by the white light source W and the red light source R is warm white light instead of cool white light and is near the black body radiation curve. The color temperature range of the obtained warm white light may be approximately 2500K to 4500K, most preferably 2500K to 3500K.
The red light source R and the white light source W are completely separated by belonging to different LED packages. In addition, the red light source R and the white light source W may be operated together to produce warm white light, or only the white light source W may be operated to produce cool white light.
