[

In addition, the case 110 includes a coupling portion 112 on the inner side surface 113 thereof. The engaging portion 112 may have a shape protruding from the side surface 113 inside the case 110. The coupling portion 112 serves to couple the diffusion member D to the case 110.

The cover 160 may be coupled to the side surface 113 of the case 110. The cover 160 is engaged to shield the open side 113 of the case 110. The cover 160 can be fastened to the fastening hole of the bottom surface 114 of the case 110 through a screw.

The light emitting unit 140 is provided inside the case 110. Specifically, the light emitting unit 140 is located on the bottom surface 114 inside the case 110. The light emitting unit 140 may include a circuit board 141 and a plurality of LEDs 142 mounted on the circuit board 141.

On the other hand, it is preferable to use an LED (Light Emitting Diode) 142 as a light source, but not limited thereto, and an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode)

The light guide member 143 is provided on the circuit board 141 to surround the plurality of LEDs 142. The light guide member 143 is provided on the circuit board 141 and a receiving groove 144 in which the LED 142 is located is provided in the light guide member 143. The light guide member 143 guides the emitted light emitted from the LED 142 to be uniformly incident on the front surface of the case 110.

The light control layer 146 is provided on the upper surface of the light guide member 143. The light control layer 146 includes a reflective pattern 147 to reflect some of the emitted light of the LED 142. That is, the light control layer 146 reflects the emitted light incident on the reflection pattern 147 and transmits the light incident on the surrounding area surrounding the reflection pattern 147. The movement path of the emitted light of the LED 142 in the light emitting unit 140 will be described later in detail.

The diffusion member D includes a light transmitting portion 120 and a mounting portion 130. The diffusion member D is mounted on the front surface of the case 110 to scatter and disperse the emitted light of the LED 142 passing through the light control layer 146. The emitted light is scattered while passing through the diffusion member D and can be uniformly emitted to the outside from the front surface of the diffusion member D. [

On the other hand, the mounting portion 130 is provided on the back surface of the light transmitting portion 120. The mounting portion 130 is spaced apart from each other such that a diffusion layer S (see FIG. 3) having a predetermined refractive index and thickness is provided between the diffusion member D and the light control layer 146. Specifically, the mounting portion 130 separates the light transmitting portion 120 and the light control layer 146 to have a predetermined thickness.

The mounting portion 130 may be engaged with the coupling portion 112 to couple the diffusion member D to the case 110. [

2, the present invention further includes a power supply device P attached to a ceiling of a room. The case 110 is connected to the power supply device P by a cable W, Can be spaced apart. The cable W can be electrically connected to the circuit board 141 to supply power to the lighting apparatus.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a lighting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a state in which emitted light is diffused in an illumination apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a description will be given of a diffusion layer in an illumination device provided for uniform illumination.

The present invention can separate the light transmitting portion 120 and the light control layer 146 from each other through the mounting portion 130. A diffusion layer S having a predetermined thickness W is provided between the light transmission portion 120 and the light control layer 146 by the mounting portion 130. [ The emitted light of the LED 142 sequentially passes through the light guide member 143, the light control layer 146 and the diffusion layer S and is incident on the diffusion member D.

In one embodiment, the mounting portion 130 may be provided on both sides of the rear surface of the light transmitting portion 120. The mounting portion 130 may include a body portion 131 and a groove portion 133 provided in the body portion 131. [

The body portion 131 extends in a direction perpendicular to the back surface of the light transmitting portion 120. The body portion 131 is extended so that the end of the body portion 131 is in contact with the light control layer 146. Accordingly, the body 131 can separate the diffusion member D and the light control layer 146 from each other by a predetermined thickness W. [

The body part 131 may fix the light emitting unit 140 and the circuit board 141 inside the case 110 by closely contacting the light emitting unit 140 to the bottom surface 114 of the case 110 . The body portion 131 may be extended so that its end is in contact with the light control layer 146 so that the circuit board 141 is brought into close contact with the bottom surface 114 of the case 110. [ On the other hand, the engaging portion 112 is inserted into the groove 133.

Here, the predetermined thickness W is a vertical distance between mutually opposing surfaces of the light control layer 146 and the light transmitting portion 120. The vertical distance between the upper surface of the light control layer 146 and the lower surface of the light transmitting portion 120 is referred to as a preset thickness W. [

The diffusion layer S of the present invention may be an air layer having a refractive index of 1 filled in a spaced space between the light transmitting portion 120 and the light control layer 146. [ That is, an empty space may be provided between the light transmitting portion 120 and the light control layer 146 to fill the air.

Accordingly, the emitted light can be uniformly incident on the diffusion member D while passing through the diffusion layer S in the case 110. Specifically, the emission angle [theta] formed by the light emitted from the light control layer 146 and the upper surface of the light control layer 146 is in the range of 0 [deg.] ≪ The emitted light advances in the emission angle direction and passes through the diffusion layer S. [

That is, the larger the thickness W of the diffusion layer S, the farther the emission light travels along the emission angle from the upper surface point of the light control layer 146 through which the emission light has passed, I will join. Therefore, the emitted light is concentrated in the region of the diffusion member D adjacent to the LED 142, and hot spots are prevented from being generated, and the uniformity of illumination can be increased.

As described above, the thickness W of the diffusion layer S is an important factor determining the degree of diffusion of the emitted light. When the thickness W of the diffusion layer S is narrow, a sufficient distance for the emission light to proceed can not be ensured and the uniformity of illumination is reduced. On the contrary, when the thickness W of the diffusion layer S is large, there is a problem that the uniformity of illumination is high but the size of the illumination device is large and the brightness is low.

The present invention has resulted in the following optimum ranges for ensuring high uniformity of illumination while reducing the size of the lighting apparatus through repeated experiments.

The predetermined thickness (W) of the diffusion layer (S) according to the present invention is in the range of 3.5 mm? W? 5.5 mm. A hot spot is clearly generated when the difference in brightness between the area adjacent to the LED 142 on the front surface of the diffusion member D and the remaining area is 10% or more, and in the case of 5% to 10%, a sensitive person can recognize the hot spot have. In the present invention, the brightness difference of the illumination is less than 5% in the predetermined thickness (W) range, the hot spot can be removed, the uniformity of the illumination can be ensured, and the size of the illumination device can be minimized.

At this time, the thickness Td of the diffusion member D is in the range of 1 mm? Td? 1.5 mm. Here, the thickness of the diffusion member (D) refers to the thickness of the light transmitting portion (120). When the diffusion member D is thin, it is difficult to secure the strength. When the diffusion member D is thick, there is a problem that the emitted light is absorbed and blocked. By forming the diffusion member (D) within the above-mentioned thickness range, it is possible to prevent the brightness of emission light from being lowered simultaneously with securing the strength.

The thickness ratio of the diffusion member D to the diffusion layer S may be in the range of 1: 3.5 to 1: 5.5. Here, the thickness of the diffusion member (D) refers to the thickness of the light transmitting portion (120).

The thickness Tg of the light guide member 143 is in the range of 0.8 mm? Tg? 2 mm. Since the LED 142 is located inside the light guide member 143, the thickness Tp of the LED 142 may be in the range of 0.5 mm? Tp? 1.8 mm, which is smaller than the thickness of the light guide member 143. That is, the light guide member 143 is formed to be at least 2 mm thicker than the thickness of the LED 142, thereby preventing defects due to the error of the normal light guide member 143 and slimming the illumination device.

The thickness Tc of the light control layer 146 is in the range of 0.1 mm < / = Tg ≤ 0.3 mm. The thickness of the light control layer 146 in the thickness range can be made flexible so that sufficient strength can be ensured and the thickness can be reduced.

As shown in Fig. 4 (a), the brightness of illumination was continuously measured along the area indicated by the line A-A 'in the front surface of the diffusion member (D) of the illumination device having the numerical range described above. Here, the center point O 'is a region of the diffusion member D in which the LED 142 is located at the lower portion, and has the largest brightness.

4 (b) is a brightness-distance graph of the area indicated by line A-A '. The vertical axis of the graph represents the relative brightness ratio when the largest brightness of the center point (O ') region is 100%. In the present invention, the brightness difference of the illumination in the area indicated by the line A-A 'within the numerical range is within 2.5%. That is, when the brightness of the brightest region is 100%, the brightness of the darkest region is 97.5%.

As described above, the present invention can improve the uniformity of illumination, and can omit a separate optical film structure, thereby saving manufacturing cost. Further, since the step of attaching the optical film is not required, the manufacturing process of the lighting apparatus is simplified. In addition, the illuminating device can be made slimmer by minimizing the thickness increase of the illuminating device.

Further, the present invention can emit emitted light on the side of the LED 142. [ The LED 142 may be of a direct type that directly emits the emitted light toward the front surface of the case 110 and a direct type that emits light from the side surface of the LED 142, An edge type method of guiding emitted light can be used. The edge type method can prevent the emission light from concentrating on a specific area and can increase the uniformity compared with the direct type method.

Hereinafter, referring again to FIG. 3, the structure of the case and the diffusion member of the present invention will be described.

The coupling part 112 of the case 110 and the mounting part 130 of the back surface of the light transmitting part 120 are combined with each other so that the diffusion member D can be coupled to the case 110. [ Specifically, the engaging portion 112 protruding from the side surface 113 of the case 110 is inserted into the groove portion 133 of the mounting portion 130, so that the engaging portion 112 and the mounting portion 130 can be coupled with each other .

Accordingly, the present invention can reduce the lateral width L of the illumination device, as compared with the structure in which the side of the conventional diffusion member D and the side surface of the case 110 are joined. Since the coupling structure between the engaging portion 112 of the case 110 and the mounting portion 130 is located on the back surface of the light transmitting portion 120, an increase in the lateral width L of the lighting device due to the coupling structure There is no.

Meanwhile, the engaging portion 112 may have a shape extending along the side surface 113 inside the case 110. The groove portion 133 is provided on a side surface of the body portion 131 in a shape corresponding to the engaging portion 112. The engaging portion 112 may extend integrally along the side surface 113 or may be divided into a plurality of unit engaging portions 112 including an intermediate portion.

Meanwhile, the diffusion member D and the mounting portion 130 may be integrally formed. The diffusion member (D) and the mounting portion (130) can be integrally formed of the same light diffusion material, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process.

Some of the emitted light of the LED 142 may be bent outward while passing through the mounting portion 130 and may be incident on the diffusion member D. [ The outwardly curved emitted light is incident on the back surface of both sides of the light transmitting portion 120, so that the emitted light can be emitted from the exposed front surface of the diffusion member D.

6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating movement of emitted light within a light guide member according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the indoor lighting process of the light emitted from the light source of the present invention will be described in detail.

The light guide member 143 includes a resin layer 145 on which the receiving groove 144 is formed. The light control layer 146 is provided on the upper surface of the resin layer 145. The reflection pattern 147 of the light control layer 146 reflects the emitted light passing through the resin layer 145 in a direction opposite to the incident direction.

That is, the light emitted from the side surface of the LED 142 in the direction of the diffusion member D is reflected by the reflection pattern 147 in the direction opposite to the incident direction, and then enters the resin layer 145 again.

At this time, the circuit board 141 may be provided with a reflection member 150 that reflects the incident light reflected by the reflection pattern 147 in the opposite direction. The reflective member 150 is formed on the upper surface of the circuit board 141 and is positioned between the resin layer 145 and the circuit board 141.

The emitted light is reflected again by the reflecting member 150, so that the emitted light proceeds to the inside of the resin layer 145. The emitted light proceeding between the reflection patterns 147 of the emitted reflected light passes through the light guide member 143 and enters the diffusion member D, thereby illuminating the room. The emitted light incident on the reflection pattern 147 is reflected again and proceeds inside the resin layer 145.

The reflective member 150 may be a plurality of scratches or a plurality of dots.

As described above, since the emitted light is incident on the diffusion member D in a state in which the distance from the LED 142 is distant due to repetitive reflection of the light control layer 146 and the reflection member 150, .

On the other hand, the number or the area of reflection of the reflective member 150 may gradually decrease as the distance from the LED 142 increases. The closer the LED 142 is to the LED 142, the higher the density of the emitted light, and the greater the necessity of dispersing the emitted light.

7 is a cross-sectional view of a lighting apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Duplicate contents of the above description will be omitted or briefly explained.

A diffusion layer S having a predetermined thickness W is provided between the light control layer 253 and the diffusion member 220 in the case 210. [ Here, the predetermined thickness W is a vertical distance between mutually opposing surfaces of the light control layer 253 and the diffusion member 220.

As described above, the light emitted from the light source can be uniformly incident on the diffusion member 220 while passing through the diffusion layer S in the case 210. Therefore, the emitted light is concentrated on the region of the diffusion member 220 adjacent to the light source 230 to prevent hot spots from being generated, and the uniformity of illumination can be increased.

At this time, the preset thickness (W) is in the range of 3.5 mm ≤ W ≤ 5.5 mm. The brightness difference of the illumination in the predetermined thickness (W) range is less than 5%, the hot spot can be removed, the uniformity of illumination can be ensured and the size of the illumination device can be minimized.

The thickness Td of the diffusion member 220 is in the range of 1 mm? Td? 1.5 mm. It is possible to prevent the brightness of the illumination from decreasing at the same time as securing the strength of the diffusion member 220 in the thickness range of the diffusion member.

The thickness Tg of the light guide member 255 is in the range of 0.8 mm? Tg? 2 mm and the thickness Tp of the light source 230 may be in the range of 0.5 mm? Tp? 1.8 mm. The light guide member 255 may be formed to have a thickness of at least 2 mm larger than the thickness of the light source 230 to prevent a defect due to an error of the normal light guide member 255 and to make the lighting apparatus slimmer.

The thickness Tc of the light control layer 253 is in the range of 0.1 mm? Tg? 0.3 mm. The thickness of the light control layer 253 in the above-mentioned thickness range can be made flexible so as to secure sufficient strength and to be slim.

The light guide member 255 includes a resin layer 252 provided on the circuit board 240 inside the case 210 and a receiving groove 251 provided in the resin layer 252. The light source 230 may be located inside the receiving groove 251 and may be electrically connected to the circuit board 240.
