Description

Description LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a light emitting device, and more particularly, to a light emitting device in which an energy conversion efficiency can be improved by using an ultraviolet light emitting diode as an excitation source of a phosphor. Background Art
[2] A light emitting diode (LED) refers to a device for emitting light through recombination of minority carriers (electrons or holes) as a compound semiconductor having p-n junction structure. Since the light emitting diode has characteristics of low power consumption, long lifespan, installability in a narrow space, and strong resistance against vibration, the light emitting diode has been increasingly used as various illumination devices as well as parts of various information processing and communication applications and has been manufactured as various light emitting devices which are suitable to various applications. In recent years, white light emitting diodes in addition to single color light emitting devices, such as red, blue or green light emitting devices, have been placed on the market. As the white light emitting devices are applied to products for automobiles and illumination, it is expected that their demands will be rapidly increased.
[3] In a representative method of implementing a white light emitting device, a yellow phosphor is arranged over a blue light emitting diode, so that blue light emitted from the blue light emitting diode and yellow light emitted from the phosphor which is excited by a portion of the blue light are color-mixed to implement white color. Although such a method of implementing white light provides a simple configuration and an excellent mass-producibility, there is a problem in that the shortages of green and red spectra may reduce color rendering.
[4] In another representative method of implementing a white light emitting device, phosphors, which are excited by ultraviolet ray to emit blue, green and red lights, respectively, are arranged over a light emitting diode for emitting ultraviolet ray.
[5] Since such a method uses ultraviolet ray, which is a higher excitation light source than blue light, to emit light having wavelengths from blue to red regions, there is an advantage in that the color rendering is higher. However, various phosphors, such as blue, green and red phosphors, are used, thereby increasing manufacturing costs.
[6] Specifically, the red phosphor which is generally commercialized is sulfide based phosphor. In this case, there is a problem in that the light emitting device easily reacts with water vapor and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during its operation and therefore the chemical characteristics of the phosphor is distorted. Since the byproduct of such a reaction, H S gas, corrodes metal such as electrodes within the light emitting device, there is a problem in that the reliability of the light emitting diode may be reduced.
[7] Further, there is another problem in that the red phosphor has a lower conversion efficiency for the light emitted under the excitation by the excitation energy than blue and green phosphors. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem
[8] The present invention is conceived to solve the aforementioned problem. An object of the present invention is to provide a white light emitting device in which energy conversion efficiency can be improved by effectively using ultraviolet light as an excitation source of phosphors.
[9] Another object of the present invention is to provide a white light emitting device in which a light emitting diode for emitting light different in wavelength from light ex- citatively emitted from a phosphor can be used to improve reliability against vapor and carbon dioxide to which the light emitting device may be easily exposed.

[52] The phosphor represented by Chemical Formula 4 emits light having a wavelength of 557 nm, the phosphor represented by Chemical Formula 5 emits light having a wavelength of 467 nm, and the phosphor represented by Chemical Formula 6 emits light having a wavelength of 563 nm. As such, the orthosilicate based phosphor can control its wavelength of emission light depending on its elements and compositions.
[53] As such, the light emitting device according to the present invention comprises a first light emitting diode for emitting light in an ultraviolet wavelength region; at least one phosphor arranged around the first light emitting diode and excited by the light emitted from the first light emitting diode to emit light with a peak wavelength which is longer than the wavelength of the light emitted from the first light emitting diode, i.e., at least one phosphor for emitting blue, green and yellow lights; and at least one second light emitting diode for emitting light having a wavelength different from the peak wavelength of the light emitted from the phosphor, i.e., a red light emitting diode, thereby implementing the white light emission.
[54] Accordingly, as compared with a conventional light emitting device which includes an ultraviolet light emitting diode and phosphors for emitting blue, green and red lights, a red light emitting diode is used on behalf of the red phosphor which has a lower conversion efficiency and is excited by energy of light in an ultraviolet wavelength region as the excitation light source, thereby improving energy conversion efficiency of the white light emitting device.
[55] Further, in comparison with the prior art, the phosphor for emitting a smaller amount of blue and green lights is used to implement white light with the same intensity, thereby reducing its manufacturing costs.
[56] Also, the red light emitting diode is used to solve the problem that the generally commercialized sulfide based red phosphor easily reacts with vapor and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the optical characteristics is thus reduced.
[57] Hereinafter, the light emitting device in which the aforementioned phosphors are used according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[58] Fig. 1 is a sectional view showing a first embodiment of the light emitting device according to the present invention.
[59] Referring to the figure, the light emitting device comprises a substrate 10 and first and second electrodes 20 and 30 formed on the substrate 10. A light emitting diode 50 for emitting ultraviolet ray is mounted on the first electrode 20, and first and second phosphors 91 and 92, which are excited by the ultraviolet ray to emit blue and green lights having peak wavelengths longer than the wavelength of the excitation light, are arranged over the first light emitting diode 50.
[60] A second light emitting diode 60 is mounted on the second electrode 30, and emits red light different in wavelength from lights emitted from the first and second phosphors 91 and 92.
[61] The first and second light emitting diodes 50 and 60 are commonly and electrically connected to a third electrode (not shown) through wires 100.
[62] A molding portion 80 for encapsulating the first and second light emitting diodes 50 and 60 is provided on the substrate 10, and the first phosphor 91 for emitting blue light and the second phosphor 92 for emitting green light as described above are included in the molding portion 80.
[63] The substrate 10 may be formed with a predetermined groove around the central region of the substrate 10 through a mechanical processing, and the groove may include a reflection portion (not shown) formed in such a manner that a sidewall surface thereof is inclined at a predetermined slope.
[64] The first and second light emitting diodes 50 and 60 are mounted on a floor surface of the reflection portion, so that the light emitted from the light emitting diode 20 can be maximally reflected to thereby increase its luminous efficiency.
[65] The molding portion 80 may be formed through an injection molding process using a mixture of a predetermined transparent epoxy or silicon resin and the aforementioned phosphors 91 and 92. Alternatively, the molding portion 80 may be formed in such a manner that it is manufactured using a separate mold and then pressurized or heat treated. The molding portion 80 may be formed into various shapes such as a convex lens shape, a flat plate shape, and a shape having a predetermined concavo-convex surface.
[66] At least any one of silicate based phosphor, germanate based phosphor and germanate- silicate based phosphor may be used as the first and second phosphors 91 and 92 which are included within the molding portion 80 for encapsulating the first and second light emitting diodes 50 and 60 on the substrate 10.
[67] It is preferable that the phosphors 91 and 92 are uniformly distributed within the molding portion 80 as shown in the drawing, which causes the red light emitted from the second light emitting diode 60 and the blue and green lights emitted from the phosphors 91 and 92 to be uniformly mixed with each other, thereby implementing more uniform white light. In order to improve the color rendering, a phosphor (not shown) for emitting yellow light may be further included within the molding portion 80.
[68] In such a light emitting device according to the present invention, an excitation light, i.e., light in the ultraviolet region is emitted from the light emitting diode 50 and causes the phosphors 91 and 92 to be excited and emit excitation-emitted lights, and another light which is different from the excitation-emitted lights is emitted from the second light emitting diode 60, so that the excitation light, the excitation-emitted lights and the other light may be color-mixed to implement colors in a required spectrum range.
[69] That is, ultraviolet ray and red light are respectively emitted from the ultraviolet and red light emitting diodes 50 and 60, and the ultraviolet ray allows the first and second phosphors 91 and 92 to emit blue and green lights, respectively, so that the color mixing thereof implements white light emission.
[70] Accordingly, the red light emitting diode is used to improve an energy conversion efficiency of the white light emitting device on behalf of the red phosphor with a lower conversion efficiency in which the red phosphor is excited by a light energy of the excitation light source.
[71] Further, using an ultraviolet light emitting diode with high energy as compared with a blue light emitting diode having been used as the conventional excitation light source, the phosphors for emitting a smaller amount of blue and green lights are used to implement white light with the same intensity, thereby reducing its manufacturing costs.
[72] Also, the red light emitting diode is used to solve the problem that the generally commercialized sulfide based red phosphor easily reacts with vapor and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to reduce the optical characteristics
[73] Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing a second embodiment of the light emitting device according to the present invention.
[74] Referring to this figure, the light emitting device comprises a substrate 10 and first and second electrodes 20 and 30 formed on the substrate 10. A light emitting diode 50 for emitting ultraviolet ray is mounted on the first electrode 20, and first and second phosphors 91 and 92 which are excited by the ultraviolet ray to emit blue and green lights having peak wavelengths longer than the wavelength of the excitation light are arranged over the first light emitting diode 50.
[75] A second light emitting diode 60 is mounted on the second electrode 30, and emits red light different in wavelength from lights emitted from the first and second phosphors 91 and 92.
[76] A molding portion 80 for encapsulating the first and second light emitting diodes 50 and 60 is provided on the substrate 10, and the first phosphor 91 for emitting blue light, the second phosphor 92 for emitting green light and a scattering material 70 is contained within the molding portion 80.
[77] This is mostly identical with the constitutional features of the first embodiment, and therefore, the overlapping specific descriptions will be omitted.
[78] The first and second electrodes 20 and 30 are formed on the substrate 10, and the first and second light emitting diodes 50 and 60 are mounted on the first and second electrodes 20 and 30, respectively. Unlike the first embodiment, the first and second light emitting diodes 50 and 60 may be independently connected to third and fourth electrodes (not shown) through wires 100, respectively.
[79] The molding portion 80 for encapsulating the first and second light emitting diodes
50 and 60 is formed on the substrate 10. The first and second phosphors 91 and 92 and the scattering material 70 which are uniformly distributed are included in the molding portion 80.
[80] The first and second phosphor 91 and 92 are the first phosphor 91 for emitting blue light and the second phosphor for emitting green light, both of which are excited by the ultraviolet ray used as the excitation source as described above, and at least any one of silicate based phosphor, germanate based phosphor and germanate- silicate based phosphor may be used as the first and second phosphors 91 and 92.
[81] The scattering material 70 is added to further facilitate the color mixing of the lights, and particles whose dimension ranges from 0.1 to 20 m are used as the scattering ° material 70. At least any one of SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , Y 2O 3, CaCO 3 and Mg°O may be used as the scattering material 70.
[82] The light emitting device which includes the scattering material 70 may scatter light emitted from the light emitting diodes 50 and 60 by the scattering material and the other lights from the phosphors 91 and 92, so that an unnecessary light emission pattern may not be formed and the light may be uniformly emitted in a larger area. Accordingly, the lights having wavelengths different from each other are emitted in a larger area to be uniformly mixed with each other, so that the light emitting device can implement the uniform white light.
[83] Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing a third embodiment of the light emitting device according to the present invention.
[84] Referring to this figure, the light emitting device comprises a substrate 10 and first and second electrodes 20 and 30 formed on the substrate 10.
[85] A light emitting diode 50 for emitting ultraviolet ray is mounted on the first electrode 20, and first and second phosphors 91 and 92 which are excited by the ultraviolet ray to emit blue and green lights having peak wavelengths longer than the wavelength of the excitation light are arranged over the first light emitting diode 50.
[86] A second light emitting diode 60 is mounted on the second electrode 30, and emits red light different in wavelength from lights emitted from the first and second phosphors 91 and 92. This is mostly identical with the constitutional features of the first embodiment, and therefore, the overlapping specific descriptions will be omitted.
[87] The light emitting device according to the this embodiment includes a first molding portion 81 for encapsulating the first and second light emitting diodes 50 and 60 on the substrate 10, and a second molding portion 82 for covering the first molding portion 81, wherein the first molding portion 81 may be formed of silicon resin having a hardness lower than that of the second molding portion 82. Accordingly, thermal stress applied to the first and second light emitting diodes 50 and 60 and the wires 100 can be reduced. In order to prevent the first molding portion 81 from being deformed by external force or the like, the second molding portion 82 may be formed of epoxy resin having relatively high hardness.
[88] In this embodiment, the second phosphor 92 for emitting green light is contained in the first molding portion 81 while the first phosphor 91 for emitting blue light is contained in the second molding portion 82, so that light loss generated due to the re- absorption of the blue light, emitted from the first phosphor 91, into the second phosphor can be prevented.
[89] Fig. 4 is a sectional view showing a fourth embodiment of the light emitting device according to the present invention.
[90] Referring to the figure, the light emitting device comprises a substrate 10 and first and second electrodes 20 and 30 formed on the substrate 10. A light emitting diode 50 for emitting ultraviolet ray is mounted on the first electrode 20, and first and second phosphors 91 and 92 which are excited by the ultraviolet ray to emit blue and green lights having peak wavelengths longer than the wavelength of the excitation light are arranged over the first light emitting diode 50.
[91] A second light emitting diode 60 is mounted on the second electrode 30, and emits red light different in wavelength from lights emitted from the first and second phosphors 91 and 92. This is mostly identical with the constitutional features of the third embodiment, and therefore, the overlapping specific descriptions will be omitted.
[92] The light emitting device according to this embodiment comprises a first molding portion 81, which includes the first and second phosphors 91 and 92 and covers the first light emitting diode 50 for emitting ultraviolet ray, and a second molding portion 82 for encapsulating the first molding portion 81 and the second light emitting diode 60.
[93] Accordingly, it is possible to prevent light loss in which the red light emitted from the second light emitting diode 60 is not emitted to the outside of the first and second molding portions 81 and 82 but disappears due to the first and second phosphor 91 and 92.
[94] Fig. 5 is a sectional view showing a fifth embodiment of the light emitting device according to the present invention.
[95] Referring to this figure, the light emitting device comprises a substrate 10 and first, second and third electrodes 20, 30 and 40 formed on the substrate 10. A light emitting diode 50 for emitting ultraviolet ray is mounted on the first electrode 20, and first and second phosphors 91 and 92 excited by the ultraviolet ray to emit blue and green lights having peak wavelengths longer than the wavelength of the excitation light are arranged over the first light emitting diode 50. This is mostly identical with the constitutional features of the fourth embodiment, and therefore, the overlapping specific descriptions will be omitted.
[96] Second light emitting diodes 61 and 62 for emitting blue and red lights are mounted on the second and third electrodes 30 and 40, respectively, wherein the wavelengths of the blue and red lights are different from that of the light emitted from the phosphor 90. As such, unlike the embodiment in which the phosphor is used as the blue light source, the light emitting diode whose full width at half maximum (FWHM) is narrow is used to implement a light emitting device with an excellent color reproduction which is significantly required to be used as a back light source for a liquid crystal display (LCD).
[97] Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, but the molding portion 80 which includes the phosphor 90 for emitting green light according to this embodiment is formed to cover the second light emitting diode 61 for emitting blue light as well as the first light emitting diode 50 for emitting ultraviolet ray. Accordingly, since the phosphor 90 can emit light by the blue light as well as the ultraviolet ray, the excitation power can be enhanced, thereby increasing green light emitted from the phosphor. [98] As such, the present invention can be adapted to products with various configurations, and the technical features of the present invention are not limited to the aforementioned embodiments but can be variously modified and adjusted.
[99] For example, in case of a lamp-type light emitting device with lead terminals, after ultraviolet and red light emitting diodes are mounted on one lead terminal, a first molding portion which contains a phosphor to cover the ultraviolet light emitting diode is formed and a second molding portion for encompassing the ultraviolet and red light emitting diodes and one end of the lead terminal is formed, in the similar manner as described above, thereby manufacturing the light emitting device according to the present invention.
[100] Further, although a single blue light emitting diode chip and a single red light emitting diode chip are used in the above embodiments, a plurality of chips may be used, if necessary.
