  • a light-emitting device that emits light of a color different from the emission color of LED elements including white has been developed by combining LED elements that emit ultraviolet rays and short-wavelength visible light and various phosphors ( Patent Document 1).
  • Such a light emitting device using an LED element has advantages such as small size, power saving and long life, and is widely used as a light source for display and a light source for illumination.
  • Examples of such a light emitting device include a device in which an LED element is mounted in the recess of the substrate on which the recess is formed, and a sealing layer that covers the LED element and a phosphor layer are laminated in this order. .
  • this light emitting device most of the ultraviolet rays and short wavelength visible light emitted from the LED elements excite the phosphor and are converted into longer wavelength visible light, but some are not absorbed by the phosphor (visible). In some cases, the phosphor layer is transmitted as it is without being converted into light.
  • the conversion efficiency of ultraviolet rays or short-wavelength visible light emitted from the LED element into longer-wavelength visible light is lowered, the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting device is lowered as a result.

  • the phosphor layer has a short-wavelength transmission filter (LED element side) that selectively transmits ultraviolet rays and short-wavelength visible light, and longer-wavelength visible light. Attempts have been made to sandwich the filter with a long wavelength transmission filter (on the side opposite to the LED element) that selectively transmits light.
  • ultraviolet rays or short wavelength visible light that has passed through the phosphor layer as it is is a long wavelength transmission filter.

As a result, the amount of light emitted from the light emitting device can be increased. Further, among the long wavelength visible light emitted from the phosphor, the light traveling toward the LED element side is reflected by the short wavelength transmission filter, changed in the traveling direction toward the long wavelength transmission filter, and transmitted through the filter. And it is injected out of the device.

Description

発光装置の製造方法及び発光装置LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD AND LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE
 本発明は、紫外線や短波長の可視光線を効率的により長波長の可視光線に変換し、更に、変換された可視光線を効率的に取り出すことができるとともに、耐湿性及び放熱性にも優れた発光装置及びその製造方法であって、とりわけ、波長変換部材の分析・分類・管理が容易で、発光装置の発光色や照度を制御し易く、歩留まりの高い発光装置及びその製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention efficiently converts ultraviolet light and short-wavelength visible light into long-wavelength visible light, and can efficiently extract the converted visible light, as well as being excellent in moisture resistance and heat dissipation. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a light emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a light emitting device that can easily analyze, classify, and manage wavelength conversion members, easily control the emission color and illuminance of the light emitting device, and has a high yield. .
 従来、紫外線や短波長の可視光線を発するLED素子と種々の蛍光体とを組み合わせることにより、白色をはじめとするLED素子の発光色とは異なる色の光を発する発光装置が開発されている(特許文献1)。このような、LED素子を用いた発光装置は、小型、省電力、長寿命等の長所があり、表示用光源や照明用光源として広く用いられている。 Conventionally, a light-emitting device that emits light of a color different from the emission color of LED elements including white has been developed by combining LED elements that emit ultraviolet rays and short-wavelength visible light and various phosphors ( Patent Document 1). Such a light emitting device using an LED element has advantages such as small size, power saving and long life, and is widely used as a light source for display and a light source for illumination.
 このような発光装置としては、例えば、凹部が形成された基体の前記凹部内にLED素子が実装され、LED素子を覆う封止層と蛍光体層とがこの順に積層しているものが挙げられる。この発光装置において、LED素子が発した紫外線や短波長の可視光線の大部分は蛍光体を励起してより長波長の可視光線に変換されるが、一部が蛍光体に吸収されず(可視光線に変換されず)にそのまま蛍光体層を透過することがある。この場合、LED素子から発した紫外線や短波長の可視光線のより長波長の可視光線への変換効率が低下するため、その結果、発光装置の発光効率が低下する。また、可視光線に変換されずに蛍光体層を透過した紫外線が発光装置外に放射されると、人体等に悪影響が及ぶ場合もある。 Examples of such a light emitting device include a device in which an LED element is mounted in the recess of the substrate on which the recess is formed, and a sealing layer that covers the LED element and a phosphor layer are laminated in this order. . In this light emitting device, most of the ultraviolet rays and short wavelength visible light emitted from the LED elements excite the phosphor and are converted into longer wavelength visible light, but some are not absorbed by the phosphor (visible). In some cases, the phosphor layer is transmitted as it is without being converted into light. In this case, since the conversion efficiency of ultraviolet rays or short-wavelength visible light emitted from the LED element into longer-wavelength visible light is lowered, the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting device is lowered as a result. In addition, if ultraviolet rays that are transmitted through the phosphor layer without being converted to visible light are emitted outside the light emitting device, the human body may be adversely affected.
 一方、LED素子が発した紫外線や短波長の可視光線により励起された蛍光体が発するより長波長の可視光線のうち、LED素子が実装されている基体側に向かって逆進したものは、当該基体に吸収されてしまい、発光装置外に取り出すことができない。このため、この要因によっても、発光装置の発光効率が低下する。 On the other hand, among the longer wavelength visible rays emitted by the phosphors excited by ultraviolet rays or short wavelength visible rays emitted by the LED elements, those that have moved backward toward the substrate on which the LED elements are mounted are It is absorbed by the substrate and cannot be taken out of the light emitting device. For this reason, the light emission efficiency of the light emitting device also decreases due to this factor.
 また、LED素子は従来の光源に比べて極めて長い寿命を有するため、基体やその内面に形成されたリフレクタは可視光線に長時間曝されることとなる。このように可視光線に長時間曝された基体等は劣化して変色する。すると、発光装置の発光色にも影響が及ぶ。 In addition, since the LED element has an extremely long life as compared with the conventional light source, the reflector formed on the base and its inner surface is exposed to visible light for a long time. As described above, the substrate exposed to visible light for a long time deteriorates and changes color. This also affects the emission color of the light emitting device.

 このような問題の解決策として、本出願人においては、蛍光体層を、紫外線や短波長の可視光線を選択的に透過する短波長透過フィルタ(LED素子側)と、より長波長の可視光線を選択的に透過する長波長透過フィルタ(反LED素子側)とで、挟み込む試みがなされている。 As a solution to such a problem, in the present applicant, the phosphor layer has a short-wavelength transmission filter (LED element side) that selectively transmits ultraviolet rays and short-wavelength visible light, and longer-wavelength visible light. Attempts have been made to sandwich the filter with a long wavelength transmission filter (on the side opposite to the LED element) that selectively transmits light.
 蛍光体層を、短波長透過フィルタ(LED素子側)と長波長透過フィルタ(反LED素子側)とで挟み込むと、蛍光体層をそのまま通過した紫外線や短波長の可視光線は、長波長透過フィルタで反射して再度蛍光体層内を進行することができるので、蛍光体に当たる確率が向上し、より多くの紫外線や短波長の可視光線が長波長の可視光線に変換されうる。そして、その結果、発光装置からの発光量を増加することができる。また、蛍光体が発する長波長の可視光線のうち、LED素子側に向かって進行したものは、短波長透過フィルタで反射して、進行方向を変えて長波長透過フィルタに向かい、当該フィルタを透過して装置外に射出される。 When the phosphor layer is sandwiched between the short wavelength transmission filter (LED element side) and the long wavelength transmission filter (anti-LED element side), ultraviolet rays or short wavelength visible light that has passed through the phosphor layer as it is is a long wavelength transmission filter. Since the light can be reflected and travel in the phosphor layer again, the probability of hitting the phosphor is improved, and more ultraviolet rays and short-wavelength visible light can be converted into long-wavelength visible light. As a result, the amount of light emitted from the light emitting device can be increased. Further, among the long wavelength visible light emitted from the phosphor, the light traveling toward the LED element side is reflected by the short wavelength transmission filter, changed in the traveling direction toward the long wavelength transmission filter, and transmitted through the filter. And it is injected out of the device.
 従って、蛍光体層を短波長透過フィルタ(LED素子側)と長波長透過フィルタ(反LED素子側)とで挟み込むことにより、紫外線や短波長の可視光線を、効率的により長波長の可視光線に変換し、更に、変換された可視光線を効率的に装置外に取り出すことが可能となる。 Therefore, by sandwiching the phosphor layer between the short wavelength transmission filter (LED element side) and the long wavelength transmission filter (anti-LED element side), ultraviolet rays and short wavelength visible rays can be efficiently converted into longer wavelength visible rays. In addition, the converted visible light can be efficiently taken out of the apparatus.
 このような発光装置を製造するには、例えば、LED素子が実装された基体の凹部内に、封止用の透明樹脂を充填してから、その上に短波長透過フィルタを積層し、更にその上に蛍光体が分散した樹脂組成物を注入してから、当該樹脂組成物の上に長波長透過フィルタを積層することによる。 In order to manufacture such a light emitting device, for example, a sealing transparent resin is filled in a recess of a substrate on which an LED element is mounted, and then a short wavelength transmission filter is laminated thereon, and further, By injecting a resin composition having a phosphor dispersed thereon, a long wavelength transmission filter is laminated on the resin composition.
 ところで、蛍光体が分散した樹脂組成物は、複数個の装置分を一時に調製してから、各基体の凹部に所定量ずつ注入するものであるが、樹脂組成物中の蛍光体の分散状態は経時的に変化するので、同じ仕様の発光装置であっても、発光色の色目や照度にはロット毎に若干のバラツキが生じる。また、LED素子の発光色や照度にもバラツキがあり、このことも最終製品である発光装置の発光色や照度のバラツキの原因となる。更に、短波長透過フィルタや長波長透過フィルタにも透過波長のバラツキがある。しかし、例えば、得られた発光装置を検査装置用の光源として用いる場合には、僅かであってもこのようなバラツキがあると検査結果の信頼性が損なわれてしまう。 By the way, the resin composition in which the phosphor is dispersed is prepared by preparing a plurality of devices at a time and then injecting a predetermined amount into the recess of each substrate. The dispersion state of the phosphor in the resin composition Changes with time, so even with a light emitting device of the same specification, the color of the emitted color and the illuminance will vary slightly from lot to lot. Moreover, there are variations in the emission color and illuminance of the LED elements, and this also causes variations in the emission color and illuminance of the light emitting device as the final product. Furthermore, there are variations in the transmission wavelength of short wavelength transmission filters and long wavelength transmission filters. However, for example, when the obtained light-emitting device is used as a light source for an inspection device, the reliability of the inspection result is impaired if there is even such a small variation.
 このため、従来は最終製品である発光装置について、発光色の色目や照度の検査を行い、許容範囲から逸脱するものを排除している。 For this reason, the light emitting device, which is the final product in the past, is inspected for the color and illuminance of the emitted color, and those that deviate from the allowable range are excluded.
 本発明はかかる問題点に鑑みなされたものであって、紫外線や短波長の可視光線を効率的により長波長の可視光線に変換し、更に、変換された可視光線を効率的に取り出すことができるとともに、耐湿性及び放熱性にも優れた発光装置及びその製造方法であって、とりわけ、波長変換部材の分析・分類・管理が容易で、発光装置の発光色や照度を制御し易く、歩留まりの高い発光装置及びその製造方法を提供することをその主たる所期課題としたものである。 The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and can efficiently convert ultraviolet rays and short-wavelength visible light into long-wavelength visible light, and can efficiently extract the converted visible light. In addition, a light emitting device excellent in moisture resistance and heat dissipation and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular, easy to analyze, classify and manage the wavelength conversion member, easily control the emission color and illuminance of the light emitting device, and improve the yield. Providing a high light emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same is a main intended issue.
 すなわち本発明に係る発光装置の製造方法は、上端面に開口する凹部を有した基体と、前記基体の凹部内に実装された紫外線又は短波長の可視光線を発するLED素子と、前記LED素子から発せられた紫外線又は短波長の可視光線を透過する下部透光性板状体と、前記下部透光性板状体を透過した紫外線又は短波長の可視光線により励起される蛍光体を含有する波長変換部材と、前記波長変換部材を通過した光の一部又は全部を透過する上部透光性板状体と、を備えており、前記基体が、前記波長変換部材を保持する上部基体と、前記LED素子が実装された下部基体とからなる発光装置の製造方法であって、前記下部基体に前記LED素子を実装する実装工程と、前記上部基体に前記波長変換部材を保持させる波長変換部材保持工程と、前記LED素子が実装された下部基体と、前記波長変換部材が保持された前記上部基体とを合体させる組立工程と、を備えていることを特徴とする。 That is, the manufacturing method of the light-emitting device according to the present invention includes a substrate having a recess opening in an upper end surface, an LED element that emits ultraviolet light or short-wavelength visible light mounted in the recess of the substrate, and the LED element. A wavelength containing a lower light-transmitting plate-like body that transmits emitted ultraviolet light or short-wavelength visible light, and a phosphor that is excited by ultraviolet light or short-wavelength visible light transmitted through the lower light-transmitting plate-like body A conversion member, and an upper light-transmitting plate-like body that transmits part or all of the light that has passed through the wavelength conversion member, and the base includes an upper base that holds the wavelength conversion member, and A method of manufacturing a light emitting device comprising a lower base on which an LED element is mounted, a mounting step for mounting the LED element on the lower base, and a wavelength conversion member holding step for holding the wavelength conversion member on the upper base When Characterized in that it comprises a lower substrate in which the LED elements are mounted, and an assembly step of the wavelength converting member coalesces with the upper substrate held, the.
 また、本発明に係る発光装置は、上端面に開口する凹部を有した基体と、前記基体の凹部内に実装された紫外線又は短波長の可視光線を発するLED素子と、前記LED素子から発せられた紫外線又は短波長の可視光線を透過する下部透光性板状体と、前記下部透光性板状体を透過した紫外線又は短波長の可視光線により励起される蛍光体を含有する波長変換部材と、前記波長変換部材を通過した光の一部又は全部を透過する上部透光性板状体と、を備えており、前記基体が、前記波長変換部材を保持する上部基体と、前記LED素子が実装された下部基体とからなることを特徴とする。 In addition, a light emitting device according to the present invention is emitted from a base having a recess opening in an upper end surface, an LED element emitting ultraviolet light or short wavelength visible light mounted in the recess of the base, and the LED element. A wavelength conversion member containing a lower light-transmitting plate-like body that transmits visible ultraviolet rays or short-wavelength visible light, and a phosphor that is excited by ultraviolet light or short-wavelength visible light that has passed through the lower light-transmitting plate-like body And an upper translucent plate-like body that transmits part or all of the light that has passed through the wavelength conversion member, wherein the base body holds the wavelength conversion member, and the LED element. And a lower substrate on which is mounted.
 このようなものであれば、基体を上下に分割し、波長変換部材が保持された上部基体と、LED素子が実装された下部基体とを別体として作製してから、下部基体と上部基体とを合体することより、例えば、基準光源を使用して波長変換部材の発光色や照度等を分析し、その結果に従い波長変換部材を分類・管理してから、所望の発光色や照度等を有するものを選び出して、適合するLED素子と組み合わせることができるので、所期の性能を有する発光装置を作製することが容易になる。このため、最終製品である発光装置の発光色や照度等のバラツキを極力抑えることが可能となる。 In such a case, the base body is divided into upper and lower parts, and the upper base body on which the wavelength conversion member is held and the lower base body on which the LED element is mounted are manufactured separately, and then the lower base body and the upper base body are separated. For example, after analyzing the emission color, illuminance, etc. of the wavelength conversion member using a reference light source, and classifying and managing the wavelength conversion member according to the result, it has the desired emission color, illuminance, etc. Since it is possible to select one and combine it with a suitable LED element, it becomes easy to manufacture a light-emitting device having a desired performance. For this reason, it becomes possible to suppress variations in the emission color, illuminance, and the like of the light emitting device that is the final product as much as possible.
 この際、波長変換部材が下部透光性板状体と上部透光性板状体とに挟まれていれば、蛍光体を含む波長変換部材を湿気から保護して、波長変換部材の劣化を抑制することができるので、波長変換部材の長期保存も可能となる。 At this time, if the wavelength conversion member is sandwiched between the lower light-transmitting plate and the upper light-transmitting plate, the wavelength conversion member including the phosphor is protected from moisture, and the wavelength conversion member is deteriorated. Since it can suppress, the long-term preservation | save of the wavelength conversion member is also attained.
 また、基体を上下に分割したことにより、LED素子を実装する下部基体には絶縁性材料を用い、一方、上部基体には絶縁性は必要ないので、熱伝導率が高い金属を用いることができる。この結果、波長変換部材から発した熱を効率的に上部基体に伝導して放熱作用を高めることができる。 In addition, since the base is divided into upper and lower parts, an insulating material is used for the lower base on which the LED element is mounted. On the other hand, since the upper base does not require insulation, a metal having high thermal conductivity can be used. . As a result, the heat generated from the wavelength conversion member can be efficiently conducted to the upper substrate to enhance the heat dissipation effect.
 この際、波長変換部材から発した熱を効率的に放熱させるためには、下部透光性板状体や上部透光性板状体として、サファイア板、水晶板、ガラス板等の熱伝導率が0.5W/(m・K)以上であるものを使用することが好ましい。あるいはプラスチック等の熱伝導率が低いものを使用する場合は、その表面に、銅やアルミニウム等の熱伝導性に優れた金属や金属化合物をライン状や格子状等に隙間を設けて蒸着することにより、透光性を担保しながら熱伝導性を向上させることができる。 At this time, in order to efficiently dissipate the heat generated from the wavelength conversion member, the thermal conductivity of a sapphire plate, a crystal plate, a glass plate, etc., as a lower translucent plate or upper translucent plate It is preferable to use one having a power of 0.5 W / (m · K) or more. Alternatively, when using plastics or other materials with low thermal conductivity, deposit metal or metal compounds with excellent thermal conductivity, such as copper or aluminum, on the surface with gaps in the form of lines or grids. Thereby, thermal conductivity can be improved, ensuring translucency.
 更に、本発明では前記下部透光性板状体や前記上部透光性板状体が前記凹部内を封じているので、前記凹部内への気体や水分の侵入を抑制することができ、前記凹部の内面に金属薄膜からなるリフレクタが形成されていても、当該金属薄膜の酸化、硫化、塩化等による腐食等を防止することができる。 Further, in the present invention, since the lower light transmitting plate-like body and the upper light transmitting plate-like body seal the inside of the concave portion, it is possible to suppress the intrusion of gas and moisture into the concave portion, Even if a reflector made of a metal thin film is formed on the inner surface of the recess, the metal thin film can be prevented from being corroded by oxidation, sulfidation, chloride, or the like.
 前記上部基体は、筒状体であって、その内側周面に環状をなす突条部が形成してあるとともに、前記下部透光性板状体と前記上部透光性板状体とが、前記突条部を挟んで設けてあり、前記波長変換部材が、前記下部透光性板状体と前記上部透光性板状体との間に設けてあることが好ましい。このように、突条部を挟んで設けられた下部透光性板状体と前記上部透光性板状体との間に波長変換部材を形成することにより、波長変換部材の厚さの制御が容易になり、その結果、波長変換部材の発光色や照度等のバラツキを低減することも可能となる。 The upper base is a cylindrical body, and an annular protrusion is formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof, and the lower translucent plate-like body and the upper translucent plate-like body are formed, It is preferable that the protruding portion is provided, and the wavelength conversion member is provided between the lower light transmitting plate-like body and the upper light transmitting plate-like body. In this way, by controlling the thickness of the wavelength conversion member by forming the wavelength conversion member between the lower translucent plate-like body provided across the protrusion and the upper translucent plate-like body. As a result, it becomes possible to reduce variations in the emission color and illuminance of the wavelength conversion member.
 また、突条部を挟んで設けられた下部透光性板状体と上部透光性板状体との間に波長変換部材を形成することにより、波長変換部材の厚みを良好に制御することができ、このため、発光装置の発光色の色むらを抑制することができる。 In addition, by forming the wavelength conversion member between the lower light-transmitting plate-like body and the upper light-transmitting plate-like body provided with the protrusions interposed therebetween, the thickness of the wavelength conversion member can be controlled well. For this reason, it is possible to suppress uneven color of the emission color of the light emitting device.
 更に、突条部を挟んで設けられた下部透光性板状体と上部透光性板状体との間に波長変換部材を形成することにより、LED素子と蛍光体(波長変換部材)との距離を再現性よく管理することが可能となる。そして、突条部の形成位置を調整することにより、LED素子からの光の取り出し効率と蛍光体が受ける熱の影響とが最適なバランスとなるように、LED素子と蛍光体(波長変換部材)との距離を制御することも可能となる。 Furthermore, by forming a wavelength conversion member between the lower translucent plate-like body and the upper translucent plate-like body that are provided with the protrusions interposed therebetween, the LED element and the phosphor (wavelength conversion member) Can be managed with good reproducibility. Then, the LED element and the phosphor (wavelength conversion member) are adjusted so that the light extraction efficiency from the LED element and the influence of the heat received by the phosphor are in an optimal balance by adjusting the formation position of the protrusion. It is also possible to control the distance to.
 前記波長変換部材保持工程においては、例えば、前記下部透光性板状体又は前記上部透光性板状体を、前記突条部の下端面又上端面に接するように、前記上部基体内に配設してから、当該板状体上に蛍光体を含有する樹脂組成物を盛ることにより波長変換部材を形成することができる。この際、ポッティングにより前記樹脂組成物を盛ることにより、樹脂組成物量の管理が容易になる。 In the wavelength conversion member holding step, for example, the lower translucent plate-like body or the upper translucent plate-like body is placed in the upper base body so as to be in contact with the lower end surface or the upper end surface of the protruding portion. After the arrangement, the wavelength conversion member can be formed by depositing a resin composition containing a phosphor on the plate-like body. At this time, the amount of the resin composition can be easily managed by depositing the resin composition by potting.
 次いで、前記樹脂組成物が硬化する前に、その上に前記上部透光性板状体又は前記下部透光性板状体を重ねることにより、前記下部透光性板状体と前記波長変換部材と前記上部透光性板状体とを保持する前記上部基体を作製することができる。 Next, before the resin composition is cured, the lower light-transmitting plate-like body and the wavelength conversion member are stacked on the upper light-transmitting plate-like body or the lower light-transmitting plate-like body. And the upper substrate that holds the upper light-transmitting plate-like body can be produced.
 一方、前記下部基体に実装された前記LED素子は、シリコーン樹脂等の透明樹脂で封止することが好ましい。このように封止することにより、LED素子から封止部材への光の取り出し効率を向上させることができる。 Meanwhile, the LED element mounted on the lower base is preferably sealed with a transparent resin such as a silicone resin. By sealing in this way, the light extraction efficiency from the LED element to the sealing member can be improved.
 次いで、前記透明樹脂が硬化する前に、前記下部基体の上に、前記下部透光性板状体と前記波長変換部材と前記上部透光性板状体とを保持する前記上部基体を、前記下部透光性板状体が前記透明樹脂側を向くように設置することにより、上部基体と下部基体とを一体化して、発光装置を形成することができる。 Next, before the transparent resin is cured, the upper base that holds the lower translucent plate, the wavelength conversion member, and the upper translucent plate on the lower base, By installing the lower light-transmitting plate-like body so as to face the transparent resin side, the upper substrate and the lower substrate can be integrated to form a light emitting device.
 この際、前記下部透光性板状体の前記透明樹脂と対向する側の面にも前記透明樹脂を付けておくことが好ましい。このようにすることにより、透明樹脂が硬化してなる封止部材内に気泡が残留するのを防ぐことができる。 At this time, it is preferable that the transparent resin is also attached to the surface of the lower light-transmitting plate-like body on the side facing the transparent resin. By doing in this way, it can prevent that a bubble remains in the sealing member formed by hardening transparent resin.
 また、基体の構造によっては、前記透明樹脂が硬化する前に、その上に前記下部透光性板状体を重ね、次いで、前記下部透光性板状体上に更に前記透明樹脂を付けて、当該透明樹脂が硬化する前に、その上に前記波長変換部材と前記上部透光性板状体とを保持する前記上部基体を、前記波長変換部材が前記下部透光性板状体側を向くように設置するようにしてもよい。 Further, depending on the structure of the substrate, before the transparent resin is cured, the lower light transmitting plate-like body is stacked thereon, and then the transparent resin is further attached on the lower light transmitting plate-like body. Before the transparent resin is cured, the upper base body holding the wavelength conversion member and the upper light-transmitting plate-like body thereon is faced, and the wavelength conversion member faces the lower light-transmitting plate-like body side. You may make it install so.
 なお、前記突条部に代えて、前記下部透光性板状体と前記上部透光性板状体との間にスペーサが設けてあってもよい。 In addition, it may replace with the said protrusion and may provide the spacer between the said lower translucent plate-like body and the said upper translucent plate-like body.
 また、前記上部基体内に、光射出方向に向かうほど拡開する切頭円錐状の空間が形成されており、前記切頭円錐状の空間の光射出方向側には、前記下部透光性板状体と前記波長変換部材と前記上部透光性板状体とが設けられていてもよい。 In addition, a truncated conical space that expands toward the light emitting direction is formed in the upper base body, and the lower light-transmitting plate is disposed on the light emitting direction side of the truncated conical space. A cylindrical body, the wavelength conversion member, and the upper translucent plate-shaped body may be provided.
 このような構造の基体を用いる場合は、前記下部透光性板状体と前記波長変換部材と前記上部透光性板状体とを保持する前記上部基体を、前記上部透光性板状体が下側に位置するように反転させてから、前記切頭円錐状の空間に透明樹脂を充填し、次いで、前記透明樹脂が硬化する前に、前記上部基体の上に前記下部基体を設置するようにしてもよい。 When using a base having such a structure, the upper base holding the lower translucent plate, the wavelength conversion member, and the upper translucent plate is used as the upper translucent plate. Is inverted so that it is located on the lower side, and the truncated conical space is filled with a transparent resin, and then the lower base is placed on the upper base before the transparent resin is cured. You may do it.
 前記LED素子としては、例えば、490nm以下に放射ピークを有するものが好適に用いられ、より好ましくは360~430nmの近紫外領域に放射ピークを有するものである。 As the LED element, for example, those having a radiation peak at 490 nm or less are preferably used, and more preferably those having a radiation peak in the near ultraviolet region of 360 to 430 nm.
 また、前記上部透光性板状体としては、長波長の可視光線を透過して紫外線又は短波長の可視光線を反射する長波長透過フィルタを用いることが好ましく、加えて、前記下部透光性板状体としては、紫外線又は短波長の可視光線を透過してより長波長の可視光線を反射する短波長透過フィルタを用いることが好ましい。前記上部透光性板状体として長波長透過フィルタを用いることにより、紫外線や短波長の可視光線を波長変換部材側に反射して、長波長の可視光線への変換効率を向上させるとともに、有害な近紫外光をカットし、かつ、長波長透過フィルタの誘電体多層膜が反射防止コーティングとしても機能するので、長波長の可視光線を効率的に装置外に導出することができる。一方、下部透光性板状体として短波長透過フィルタを用いることにより、蛍光体によって波長変換されたより長波長の可視光線を波長変換部材側へ反射して、当該可視光線を効率的に装置外に取り出すことが可能となる。 Further, as the upper light-transmitting plate-like body, it is preferable to use a long-wavelength transmission filter that transmits long-wavelength visible light and reflects ultraviolet light or short-wavelength visible light. In addition, the lower light-transmitting plate is used. As the plate-like body, it is preferable to use a short wavelength transmission filter which transmits ultraviolet rays or short wavelength visible rays and reflects longer wavelength visible rays. By using a long-wavelength transmission filter as the upper translucent plate-like body, ultraviolet rays and short-wavelength visible light are reflected to the wavelength conversion member side, improving the conversion efficiency into long-wavelength visible light, and harmful In addition, since the near-ultraviolet light is cut and the dielectric multilayer film of the long wavelength transmission filter also functions as an antireflection coating, visible light having a long wavelength can be efficiently led out of the apparatus. On the other hand, by using a short wavelength transmission filter as the lower light transmitting plate-like body, the visible light having a longer wavelength converted by the phosphor is reflected toward the wavelength conversion member, and the visible light is efficiently removed from the apparatus. Can be taken out.
 前記短波長透過フィルタや前記長波長透過フィルタとしては、例えば、電磁波の反射率と透過率との高低が逆転する境界を、前記LED素子の放射ピーク波長より10nm以上大きく、かつ、500nm以下の波長領域に有する誘電体多層膜を備えたものが好適に用いられ、より好ましくは440nm以下の波長領域に境界を有する誘電体多層膜である。ここで、誘電体多層膜は、金属酸化物等の誘電体のなかでも透明性の高い物質からなる薄膜より、屈折率の異なる2つ以上のものを選択して積層してなるものであり、熱伝導性にも優れるものである。そして、短波長透過フィルタや長波長透過フィルタとして、熱伝導性にも優れる誘電体多層膜を備えたものを用いることにより、LED素子や蛍光体から発した熱を効率的に基体に伝達して装置外に放出することができ、蛍光体の熱劣化や、発光効率や輝度の低下を、より効果的に防ぐことができる。 As the short wavelength transmission filter or the long wavelength transmission filter, for example, the boundary where the level of the reflectance and transmittance of the electromagnetic wave is reversed is 10 nm or more larger than the emission peak wavelength of the LED element and 500 nm or less. Those having a dielectric multilayer film in a region are preferably used, and more preferably a dielectric multilayer film having a boundary in a wavelength region of 440 nm or less. Here, the dielectric multilayer film is formed by selecting and laminating two or more films having different refractive indexes from a thin film made of a highly transparent substance among dielectrics such as metal oxides, It also has excellent thermal conductivity. By using a short wavelength transmission filter or a long wavelength transmission filter with a dielectric multilayer film having excellent thermal conductivity, heat generated from the LED element or phosphor can be efficiently transmitted to the substrate. It can be emitted to the outside of the apparatus, and it is possible to more effectively prevent thermal deterioration of the phosphor and reduction in luminous efficiency and luminance.
 このような構成の本発明によれば、波長変換部材等の分類・管理が容易で、発光装置の発光色や照度を制御し易く、発光装置を高い歩留まりで製造することができる。また、上部基体は絶縁性を要しないので、上部基体を構成する材料として熱伝導率が高い金属を使用することができ、その結果、波長変換部材から発した熱を効率的に上部基体に伝導して放熱作用を高めることができる。更に、本発明によれば、基体凹部の内面に形成された金属薄膜からなるリフレクタの腐食、劣化を防ぐことも可能となる。 According to the present invention having such a configuration, the wavelength conversion member and the like can be easily classified and managed, the light emission color and illuminance of the light emitting device can be easily controlled, and the light emitting device can be manufactured with a high yield. In addition, since the upper substrate does not require insulation, a metal having high thermal conductivity can be used as a material constituting the upper substrate, and as a result, heat generated from the wavelength conversion member is efficiently conducted to the upper substrate. Thus, the heat dissipation action can be enhanced. Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent corrosion and deterioration of the reflector made of a metal thin film formed on the inner surface of the recess of the substrate.

A light emitting device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
 本実施形態に係る発光装置1は、図1及び図2に示すように、上端面21に開口する凹部22を有した基体2と、凹部22の底面221に実装されたLED素子3と、LED素子3を封止する封止部材4と、封止部材4の上に、封止部材4側から順に設けられた短波長透過フィルタ5、波長変換部材6及び長波長透過フィルタ7と、を備えたものである。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the light emitting device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a base body 2 having a recess 22 that opens to an upper end surface 21, an LED element 3 mounted on a bottom surface 221 of the recess 22, and an LED A sealing member 4 that seals the element 3, and a short wavelength transmission filter 5, a wavelength conversion member 6, and a long wavelength transmission filter 7 that are sequentially provided on the sealing member 4 from the sealing member 4 side. It is a thing.
 以下に各部を詳述する。
 基体2は、平板状の下部基体2aと円筒状の上部基体2bとからなるものであり、下部基体2a上に上部基体2bを載置することにより、上端面21に開口する凹部22が形成されるものである。下部基体2aは、例えば、アルミナ等のセラミックスや窒化アルミニウム等の熱伝導率が高い絶縁性材料からなるものであり、上部基体2bは、例えば、銅、アルミニウム等の熱伝導率が高い金属からなるものである。
Each part is described in detail below.
The base body 2 is composed of a flat lower base body 2a and a cylindrical upper base body 2b. By placing the upper base body 2b on the lower base body 2a, a concave portion 22 opened on the upper end surface 21 is formed. Is. The lower base 2a is made of an insulating material having a high thermal conductivity such as ceramics such as alumina or aluminum nitride, and the upper base 2b is made of a metal having a high thermal conductivity such as copper or aluminum. Is.
 下部基体2aは、その上面221(凹部22の底面221)に後述するLED素子3を実装するものであるが、当該上面221には、LED素子3が電気的に接続されるための、例えば銀パターン等からなる配線導体(図示しない。)が形成されている。この配線導体が基体2内部に形成された配線層(図示しない。)を介して発光装置1の外表面に導出されて外部電気回路基板に接続されることにより、LED素子3と外部電気回路基板とが電気的に接続される。 The lower base 2a is for mounting an LED element 3 to be described later on its upper surface 221 (the bottom surface 221 of the recess 22). For example, silver for electrically connecting the LED element 3 to the upper surface 221 is used. A wiring conductor (not shown) made of a pattern or the like is formed. This wiring conductor is led to the outer surface of the light emitting device 1 through a wiring layer (not shown) formed inside the base 2 and connected to the external electric circuit board, whereby the LED element 3 and the external electric circuit board are connected. Are electrically connected.
 上部基体2bは、その内側周面222に環状をなす突条部23が形成してあり、突条部23を挟んで短波長透過フィルタ5と長波長透過フィルタ7とが設けてあり、短波長透過フィルタ5と前記長波長透過フィルタ7との間に波長変換部材6が形成されている。 The upper base 2b is formed with an annular protrusion 23 on the inner peripheral surface 222, and the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 are provided with the protrusion 23 interposed therebetween. A wavelength conversion member 6 is formed between the transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7.
 そして、短波長透過フィルタ5を突条部23の下端面と上部基体2bの内側周面222とに密接するように配設し、長波長透過フィルタ7を突条部23の上端面と上部基体2bの内側周面222とに密接するように配設することにより、短波長透過フィルタ5と長波長透過フィルタ7とが上部基体2bに対し、軸方向にも軸直交方向にも位置決めされるように構成してある。 Then, the short wavelength transmission filter 5 is disposed so as to be in close contact with the lower end surface of the protrusion 23 and the inner peripheral surface 222 of the upper base 2b, and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is provided with the upper end surface of the protrusion 23 and the upper base. The short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 are positioned in both the axial direction and the axis orthogonal direction with respect to the upper base 2b by being disposed so as to be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface 222 of 2b. It is configured.
 上部基体2bの高さ及び突条部23の形成位置は、短波長透過フィルタ5を、突条部23の下端面と上部基体2bの内側周面222とに密接するように配設した場合に、短波長透過フィルタ5の下面と上部基体2bの内側周面222とに囲まれた凹部が形成されるように設定されている。そして、LED素子3が実装された下部基体2a上に、短波長透過フィルタ5及び長波長透過フィルタ7とともに波長変換部材6が保持された上部基体2bを設置すると、前記凹部が下部基体2aの上面で閉塞された空間が形成され、当該空間内に封止部材4が形成される。一方、長波長透過フィルタ7を突条部23の上端面と上部基体2bの内側周面222とに密接するように配設すると、本実施形態においては、長波長透過フィルタ7の上端面と上部基体2bの上端面21とから、発光装置1の上面を構成する連続した平面が形成される。このように突条部23はスペーサとして機能する。 The height of the upper base 2b and the formation position of the ridge 23 are determined when the short wavelength transmission filter 5 is disposed in close contact with the lower end surface of the ridge 23 and the inner peripheral surface 222 of the upper base 2b. The concave portion surrounded by the lower surface of the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the inner peripheral surface 222 of the upper substrate 2b is set. Then, when the upper base 2b holding the wavelength conversion member 6 together with the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is installed on the lower base 2a on which the LED element 3 is mounted, the concave portion becomes the upper surface of the lower base 2a. A closed space is formed, and the sealing member 4 is formed in the space. On the other hand, when the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is disposed so as to be in close contact with the upper end surface of the ridge 23 and the inner peripheral surface 222 of the upper base 2b, in this embodiment, the upper end surface and the upper portion of the long wavelength transmission filter 7 are arranged. A continuous plane constituting the upper surface of the light emitting device 1 is formed from the upper end surface 21 of the base 2b. Thus, the protrusion part 23 functions as a spacer.
 上部基体2bの内側周面222(基体2の凹部22の側面222)及び下部基体2aの上面221(基体2の凹部22の底面221)には、銀、アルミニウム、金等の金属メッキ等が施されることにより高反射率の金属薄膜が形成されており、リフレクタ(反射膜)として機能している。そして、後述する長波長透過フィルタ7で下方向に反射され、波長変換部材6と短波長透過フィルタ5とを透過した紫外線や短波長の可視光線を、当該金属薄膜により、再度、波長変換部材6に向けて反射することができる。 The inner peripheral surface 222 of the upper base 2b (the side 222 of the recess 22 of the base 2) and the upper surface 221 of the lower base 2a (the bottom 221 of the recess 22 of the base 2) are subjected to metal plating such as silver, aluminum, and gold. As a result, a highly reflective metal thin film is formed and functions as a reflector (reflection film). Then, the ultraviolet light or the short wavelength visible light reflected downward by the long wavelength transmission filter 7 described later and transmitted through the wavelength conversion member 6 and the short wavelength transmission filter 5 is again transmitted to the wavelength conversion member 6 by the metal thin film. It can be reflected toward.
 なお、封止部材4や波長変換部材6を構成する例えばシリコーン樹脂等は気体透過率が高いが、本実施形態では短波長透過フィルタ5及び長波長透過フィルタ7が、凹部22内への気体や水分の侵入を抑制することができるので、凹部22の内面に形成された金属薄膜の酸化、硫化、塩化等による腐食等を防止することができる。 Note that, for example, silicone resin or the like constituting the sealing member 4 or the wavelength conversion member 6 has a high gas permeability. However, in this embodiment, the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 are formed by the gas into the recess 22. Since the intrusion of moisture can be suppressed, corrosion due to oxidation, sulfidation, chlorination, etc. of the metal thin film formed on the inner surface of the recess 22 can be prevented.
 LED素子3は、紫外線や短波長の可視光線を発するものであり、例えば360~430nmに放射ピークを有する近紫外線や紫色光を発するものが好適に用いられる。このようなLED素子3は、例えば、サファイア基板や窒化ガリウム基板の上に窒化ガリウム系化合物半導体がn型層、発光層及びp型層の順に積層したものである。 The LED element 3 emits ultraviolet rays or visible light having a short wavelength, and for example, those emitting near ultraviolet rays or violet light having a radiation peak at 360 to 430 nm are preferably used. For example, the LED element 3 is formed by laminating a gallium nitride-based compound semiconductor in the order of an n-type layer, a light-emitting layer, and a p-type layer on a sapphire substrate or a gallium nitride substrate.
 LED素子3は、窒化ガリウム系化合物半導体を下(凹部22の底面221側)にして凹部22の底面221に半田バンプや金バンプ等(図示しない。)を用いてフリップチップ実装されている。なお、LED素子3は基体2に設けられた配線導体にワイヤボンディングを用いて接続されていてもよい。また、本実施形態においては、複数個(9個)のLED素子3が実装されているが、LED素子3の実装数はこの限りではなく、目的・用途に応じて適宜変更することができる。 The LED element 3 is flip-chip mounted on the bottom surface 221 of the concave portion 22 using solder bumps, gold bumps (not shown) with the gallium nitride compound semiconductor facing down (the bottom surface 221 side of the concave portion 22). The LED element 3 may be connected to a wiring conductor provided on the base 2 using wire bonding. In the present embodiment, a plurality (9) of LED elements 3 are mounted. However, the number of LED elements 3 is not limited to this, and can be appropriately changed according to the purpose and application.
 封止部材4は、その内部にLED素子3を封止するものであり、LED素子3から封止部材4へ効率良く光を取り出すためには、透光性及び耐熱性に優れるとともに、LED素子3との屈折率差が小さい、シリコーン樹脂等の透明樹脂からなるものであることが好ましい。 The sealing member 4 seals the LED element 3 therein. In order to efficiently extract light from the LED element 3 to the sealing member 4, the sealing member 4 has excellent translucency and heat resistance. 3 is preferably made of a transparent resin such as a silicone resin having a small difference in refractive index with respect to 3.
 短波長透過フィルタ5は、長波長の可視光線を反射して、紫外線や短波長の可視光線を選択的に透過するローパスフィルタであり、封止部材4の上に設けられている。このような短波長透過フィルタ5としては、例えば、図3に示すように、430nm近傍を境界として、光の透過率と反射率とが逆転する誘電体多層膜を備えたものを用いることができる。このような誘電体多層膜は、例えばガラス、水晶、サファイア等からなる基板に膜材料を付着させることにより形成される。短波長透過フィルタ5は、いずれの側の面が波長変換部材6に接するように配置されていてもよく、例えば、誘電体多層膜が形成された側の面が波長変換部材6に接している場合は、LED素子3や蛍光体61から発した熱を効率的に基体2に伝達して発光装置1外に放出することができるとともに、長波長の可視光線を短波長透過フィルタ5と波長変換部材6との界面で効率的に反射して発光装置1外に導出することができる。一方、放熱の観点から言えば、誘電体多層膜の基板が水晶やサファイア等の熱伝導性に優れた材質からなる場合、基板側の面(誘電体多層膜が形成されていない側の面)が波長変換部材6に接していても、LED素子3や蛍光体61から発した熱を効率的に基体2に伝達して発光装置1外に放出することができる。また、誘電体多層膜の基板がガラスからなる場合であっても、例えば、ガラス基板の表面に銅やアルミニウム等の熱伝導性に優れた金属をライン状や格子状等に蒸着することによって、透光性を担保しながら熱伝導性を向上させることができる。 The short wavelength transmission filter 5 is a low-pass filter that reflects long wavelength visible light and selectively transmits ultraviolet light or short wavelength visible light, and is provided on the sealing member 4. As such a short wavelength transmission filter 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a filter having a dielectric multilayer film in which the light transmittance and the reflectance are reversed with the vicinity of 430 nm as a boundary can be used. . Such a dielectric multilayer film is formed by attaching a film material to a substrate made of glass, quartz, sapphire, or the like. The short wavelength transmission filter 5 may be arranged such that the surface on either side is in contact with the wavelength conversion member 6. For example, the surface on which the dielectric multilayer film is formed is in contact with the wavelength conversion member 6. In this case, the heat generated from the LED element 3 and the phosphor 61 can be efficiently transmitted to the substrate 2 to be emitted to the outside of the light emitting device 1, and long wavelength visible light is converted into the wavelength with the short wavelength transmission filter 5. The light can be efficiently reflected at the interface with the member 6 and led out of the light emitting device 1. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of heat dissipation, when the substrate of the dielectric multilayer film is made of a material having excellent thermal conductivity such as crystal or sapphire, the substrate side surface (the surface on which the dielectric multilayer film is not formed) Even if it is in contact with the wavelength conversion member 6, the heat generated from the LED element 3 and the phosphor 61 can be efficiently transmitted to the base 2 and released to the outside of the light emitting device 1. Moreover, even when the substrate of the dielectric multilayer film is made of glass, for example, by depositing a metal having excellent thermal conductivity such as copper or aluminum on the surface of the glass substrate in a line shape or a lattice shape, Thermal conductivity can be improved while ensuring translucency.
 波長変換部材6は、内部に蛍光体61を含有しており、短波長透過フィルタ5の上に設けられている。このような波長変換部材6としては、例えば、透光性及び耐熱性に優れ、封止部材4との屈折率差が小さいシリコーン樹脂、フッ素樹脂、低融点ガラス等からなるマトリックス中に蛍光体61が分散しているものが挙げられる。 The wavelength conversion member 6 contains a phosphor 61 inside and is provided on the short wavelength transmission filter 5. As such a wavelength conversion member 6, for example, a phosphor 61 is provided in a matrix made of a silicone resin, a fluororesin, a low-melting glass, or the like that is excellent in translucency and heat resistance and has a small refractive index difference from the sealing member 4. Are dispersed.
 波長変換部材6が含有する蛍光体61としては特に限定されず、例えば、赤色蛍光体、緑色蛍光体、青色蛍光体、黄色蛍光体等が挙げられる。このうち、赤色蛍光体、緑色蛍光体及び青色蛍光体を併用すると、白色光を発する発光装置1を構成することができる。 The phosphor 61 contained in the wavelength conversion member 6 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a red phosphor, a green phosphor, a blue phosphor, and a yellow phosphor. Among these, when the red phosphor, the green phosphor, and the blue phosphor are used in combination, the light emitting device 1 that emits white light can be configured.
 長波長透過フィルタ7は、紫外線や短波長の可視光線を反射して、長波長の可視光線を選択的に透過するハイパスフィルタであり、波長変換部材6の上に設けられている。このような長波長透過フィルタ7としては、例えば、図4に示すように、430nm近傍を境界として、光の反射率と透過率とが逆転する誘電体多層膜を備えたものを用いることができる。このような誘電体多層膜は、例えばガラス、水晶、サファイア等からなる基板に膜材料を付着させることにより形成される。長波長透過フィルタ7は、いずれの側の面が波長変換部材6に接するように配置されていてもよいが、例えば、基板側の面(誘電体多層膜が形成されていない側の面)が波長変換部材6に接するように長波長透過フィルタ7を配置することにより、長波長透過フィルタ7の誘電体多層膜が反射防止コーティングとしても機能するので、長波長の可視光線を効率的に外部に導出することができる。また、この場合、誘電体多層膜の基板が水晶やサファイア等の熱伝導性に優れた材質からなるものであれば、LED素子3や蛍光体61から発した熱を効率的に基体2に伝達して発光装置1外に放出することもできる。更に、上述したように、誘電体多層膜の基板がガラスからなる場合であっても、例えば、ガラス基板の表面に銅やアルミニウム等の熱伝導性に優れた金属をライン状や格子状等に蒸着することによって、透光性を担保しながら熱伝導性を向上させることができる。しかしながら、例えば、誘電体多層膜の放熱性に着目するならば、誘電体多層膜が形成された側の面が波長変換部材6に接するようにしてもよい。 The long wavelength transmission filter 7 is a high-pass filter that reflects ultraviolet rays or short wavelength visible light and selectively transmits long wavelength visible light, and is provided on the wavelength conversion member 6. As such a long-wavelength transmission filter 7, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a filter provided with a dielectric multilayer film in which the reflectance and transmittance of light are reversed at the vicinity of 430 nm can be used. . Such a dielectric multilayer film is formed by attaching a film material to a substrate made of glass, quartz, sapphire, or the like. The long wavelength transmission filter 7 may be disposed so that either side of the long-wavelength transmission filter 7 is in contact with the wavelength conversion member 6. For example, the substrate side surface (the surface on which the dielectric multilayer film is not formed) By disposing the long wavelength transmission filter 7 so as to be in contact with the wavelength conversion member 6, the dielectric multilayer film of the long wavelength transmission filter 7 also functions as an antireflection coating. Can be derived. In this case, if the substrate of the dielectric multilayer film is made of a material having excellent thermal conductivity such as crystal or sapphire, the heat generated from the LED element 3 and the phosphor 61 is efficiently transmitted to the base 2. Then, it can be emitted out of the light emitting device 1. Further, as described above, even when the substrate of the dielectric multilayer film is made of glass, for example, a metal having excellent thermal conductivity such as copper or aluminum is formed on the surface of the glass substrate in a line shape or a lattice shape. By evaporating, thermal conductivity can be improved while ensuring translucency. However, for example, when attention is paid to the heat dissipation of the dielectric multilayer film, the surface on the side where the dielectric multilayer film is formed may be in contact with the wavelength conversion member 6.
 このような発光装置1では、波長変換部材6を通過した紫外線や短波長の可視光線は、長波長透過フィルタ7で反射して、再度、波長変換部材6内を進行する。このため、紫外線や短波長の可視光線が蛍光体61に当たる確率が向上するので、より多くの紫外線や短波長の可視光線が長波長の可視光線に変換され、その結果、発光装置1からの発光量が増加する。また、蛍光体61が発する長波長の可視光線のうち、基体2の凹部22底面221側に向かって進行したものは、短波長透過フィルタ5で反射し、進行方向を変えて長波長透過フィルタ7に向かい、当該フィルタ7を透過して装置1外に射出されるので、長波長の可視光線の取り出し効率も向上する。従って、発光装置1によれば、紫外線や短波長の可視光線を、効率的に長波長の可視光線に変換し、更に、変換された可視光線を効率的に装置1外に取り出すことができる。 In such a light emitting device 1, ultraviolet rays or short-wavelength visible rays that have passed through the wavelength conversion member 6 are reflected by the long-wavelength transmission filter 7 and travel through the wavelength conversion member 6 again. For this reason, since the probability that ultraviolet rays or short-wavelength visible light hits the phosphor 61 is improved, more ultraviolet rays or short-wavelength visible light is converted into long-wavelength visible light. The amount increases. Further, among the long-wavelength visible light emitted from the phosphor 61, the light traveling in the direction toward the bottom surface 221 of the recess 22 of the substrate 2 is reflected by the short-wavelength transmission filter 5 and the traveling direction is changed to change the long-wavelength transmission filter 7. Since it passes through the filter 7 and exits from the apparatus 1, the extraction efficiency of visible light having a long wavelength is improved. Therefore, according to the light emitting device 1, ultraviolet rays and short-wavelength visible light can be efficiently converted into long-wavelength visible light, and the converted visible light can be efficiently taken out of the device 1.
 また、上述のとおり基体2の凹部22底面221側に向かって逆進した長波長の可視光線は、短波長透過フィルタ5で反射されるので、基体2の凹部22内面に到達する長波長の可視光線が減って、基体2の経時劣化が抑制され、延いては、発光装置1の発光色の変化も抑制される。 Further, as described above, the long-wavelength visible light traveling backward toward the bottom surface 221 of the concave portion 22 of the base 2 is reflected by the short-wavelength transmission filter 5, so that the long-wavelength visible light reaching the inner surface of the concave portion 22 of the base 2 is visible. The number of light rays is reduced, the deterioration of the base 2 with time is suppressed, and the change in the emission color of the light emitting device 1 is also suppressed.
 次に、本実施形態に係る発光装置1の製造方法について、図5~7を参照して説明する。 Next, a method for manufacturing the light emitting device 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
[上部基体]
 上部基体2bにおいては、まず、長波長透過フィルタ7を突条部23の上端面(図5においては下端面)と上部基体2bの内側周面222とに密接するように配設する。そして、長波長透過フィルタ7上に、蛍光体を含有する樹脂組成物6を所定量ポッティングにより載せる(図5(a)~(b))。次いで、樹脂組成物6が硬化する前に、その上に短波長透過フィルタ5を設ける(図5(c))。そして、必要に応じて加熱等して樹脂組成物6を硬化させることにより、長波長透過フィルタ7及び短波長透過フィルタ5は波長変換部材6とともに上部基体2bに接着・固定される。これにより、長波長透過フィルタ7と短波長透過フィルタ5とに挟まれた状態で波長変換部材6を上部基体2bに保持させることができる(図5(d))。なお、この際、短波長透過フィルタ5は突条部23の下端面(図5においては上端面)と上部基体2bの内側周面222とに密接している。なお、ポッティングにより長波長透過フィルタ7上に載せる樹脂組成物6量は、波長変換部材6を形成するのに必要な量よりも多めにして、樹脂組成物6を長波長透過フィルタ7と短波長透過フィルタ5とで挟み込んだ際に、樹脂組成物6が長波長透過フィルタ7及び短波長透過フィルタ5と上部基体2bとの間に染み出すようにして、樹脂組成物6をこれらの接着剤としても機能させることが好ましい。
[Upper substrate]
In the upper base 2b, first, the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is disposed so as to be in close contact with the upper end surface (the lower end surface in FIG. 5) of the protrusion 23 and the inner peripheral surface 222 of the upper base 2b. Then, a predetermined amount of the phosphor-containing resin composition 6 is placed on the long wavelength transmission filter 7 by potting (FIGS. 5A to 5B). Next, before the resin composition 6 is cured, the short wavelength transmission filter 5 is provided thereon (FIG. 5C). The long wavelength transmission filter 7 and the short wavelength transmission filter 5 are bonded and fixed to the upper substrate 2b together with the wavelength conversion member 6 by curing the resin composition 6 by heating or the like as necessary. Thereby, the wavelength conversion member 6 can be held on the upper base 2b while being sandwiched between the long wavelength transmission filter 7 and the short wavelength transmission filter 5 (FIG. 5D). At this time, the short wavelength transmission filter 5 is in close contact with the lower end surface (upper end surface in FIG. 5) of the protrusion 23 and the inner peripheral surface 222 of the upper base 2b. Note that the amount of the resin composition 6 placed on the long wavelength transmission filter 7 by potting is larger than the amount necessary to form the wavelength conversion member 6, and the resin composition 6 is combined with the long wavelength transmission filter 7 and the short wavelength. When sandwiched between the transmission filter 5, the resin composition 6 oozes out between the long wavelength transmission filter 7 and the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the upper base 2 b, and the resin composition 6 is used as these adhesives. It is also preferable to function.
[下部基体]
 一方、下部基体2aにおいては、下部基体2a上に実装されたLED素子3上に、透明樹脂4を所定量ポッティングにより載せる(図6(e)~(f))。なお、ポッティングにより下部基体2a上に載せる透明樹脂4量は、封止部材4を形成するのに必要な量よりも多めにして、下記のように下部基体2a上に上部基体2bを設置する際に、透明樹脂4が下部基体2aと上部基体2bとの間に染み出すようにして、透明樹脂4をこれらの接着剤としても機能させることが好ましい。
[Lower substrate]
On the other hand, in the lower base 2a, a transparent resin 4 is placed on the LED element 3 mounted on the lower base 2a by a predetermined amount of potting (FIGS. 6E to 6F). Note that the amount of the transparent resin 4 placed on the lower base 2a by potting is set larger than the amount necessary for forming the sealing member 4, and the upper base 2b is placed on the lower base 2a as described below. In addition, it is preferable that the transparent resin 4 also functions as an adhesive so that the transparent resin 4 oozes out between the lower base 2a and the upper base 2b.
[組立]
 下部基体2a上に載せた透明樹脂4が硬化する前に、LED素子3が実装された下部基体2a上に、波長透過フィルタ5側を下にして、波長変換部材6が形成された上部基体2bを設置する(図7(g))。この際、短波長透過フィルタ5の下面に樹脂組成物6をはみ出させておいたり、透明樹脂4を付着させておいたりすることが好ましく、とりわけ、図7(g)に示すように、短波長透過フィルタ5の下面と上部基体2bの内側周面222とに囲まれた凹部の角部に樹脂組成物6や透明樹脂4を付着させておくことにより、透明樹脂4が硬化してなる封止部材4内に気泡が残留するのを防ぐことができる。
[assembly]
Before the transparent resin 4 placed on the lower substrate 2a is cured, the upper substrate 2b in which the wavelength conversion member 6 is formed on the lower substrate 2a on which the LED element 3 is mounted with the wavelength transmission filter 5 side down. Is installed (FIG. 7G). At this time, it is preferable that the resin composition 6 protrudes from the lower surface of the short-wavelength transmission filter 5 or the transparent resin 4 adheres. In particular, as shown in FIG. Sealing formed by curing the transparent resin 4 by attaching the resin composition 6 or the transparent resin 4 to the corners of the recesses surrounded by the lower surface of the transmission filter 5 and the inner peripheral surface 222 of the upper base 2b. It is possible to prevent bubbles from remaining in the member 4.
 このように、LED素子3が実装された下部基体2a上に、短波長透過フィルタ5及び長波長透過フィルタ7とともに波長変換部材6が保持された上部基体2bを設置すると、短波長透過フィルタ5の下面と上部基体2bの内側周面222とに囲まれた凹部が下部基体2aの上面で閉塞された空間が形成されるとともに、当該空間内が透明樹脂4で充満される。最後に、必要に応じて加熱等して透明樹脂4を硬化することにより、当該空間内に封止部材4が形成されるとともに、当該封止部材4が下部基体2aと上部基体2bとを接着する接着層としても機能して、下部基体2aと上部基体2bとが一体となった発光装置1を得ることができる。 As described above, when the upper base 2b in which the wavelength conversion member 6 is held together with the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is installed on the lower base 2a on which the LED element 3 is mounted, the short wavelength transmission filter 5 A space is formed in which a recess surrounded by the lower surface and the inner peripheral surface 222 of the upper substrate 2b is closed by the upper surface of the lower substrate 2a, and the space is filled with the transparent resin 4. Finally, the transparent resin 4 is cured by heating or the like as necessary, whereby the sealing member 4 is formed in the space and the sealing member 4 bonds the lower base 2a and the upper base 2b. Thus, the light emitting device 1 that functions as an adhesive layer to be integrated with the lower base 2a and the upper base 2b can be obtained.
 このような本実施形態に係る製造方法は、基体2を上下に分割し、短波長透過フィルタ5及び長波長透過フィルタ7とともに波長変換部材6が保持された上部基体2bと、LED素子3が実装された下部基体2aとを別体として作製してから、下部基体2a上に上部基体2bを設置して一体化するものであるので、例えば、波長変換部材6等を保持する上部基体2bに対し、予め定められた波長(例えば、405nmの近紫外光)及び強度を有する光を射出する基準光源を使用して発光色や照度等を分析し、その結果に従い分類・管理してから、所望の発光色や照度等を有するものを選び出して、適合するLED素子3と組み合わせることができ、その結果、所期の性能を有する発光装置1を作製することが容易になる。このため、最終製品である発光装置1の発光色や照度等のバラツキを極力抑えることが可能となる。 In such a manufacturing method according to this embodiment, the base body 2 is divided into upper and lower parts, and the upper base body 2b in which the wavelength conversion member 6 is held together with the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7, and the LED element 3 are mounted. Since the lower base body 2a is manufactured separately and then the upper base body 2b is installed on the lower base body 2a to be integrated, for example, the upper base body 2b holding the wavelength conversion member 6 and the like is integrated. Analyze the emission color, illuminance, etc. using a reference light source that emits light having a predetermined wavelength (for example, near-ultraviolet light of 405 nm) and intensity, classify and manage according to the result, and then A light emitting color, illuminance, or the like can be selected and combined with a suitable LED element 3, and as a result, it becomes easy to manufacture the light emitting device 1 having the desired performance. For this reason, it becomes possible to suppress variations in the emission color, illuminance, and the like of the light emitting device 1 that is the final product as much as possible.
 そして、本実施形態においては、上部基体2bを用いて、波長変換部材6が短波長透過フィルタ5と長波長透過フィルタ7とに挟まれた波長変換部材ユニットが構成されているので、蛍光体を含む波長変換部材6を湿気から保護して、その劣化を抑制することができ、波長変換部材6(波長変換部材ユニット)の長期保存も可能となる。 In this embodiment, since the wavelength conversion member unit in which the wavelength conversion member 6 is sandwiched between the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is configured by using the upper base 2b, the phosphor is used. The included wavelength conversion member 6 can be protected from moisture and its deterioration can be suppressed, and the wavelength conversion member 6 (wavelength conversion member unit) can be stored for a long period of time.
 また、本実施形態では、突条部23を挟んで設けられた短波長透過フィルタ5と長波長透過フィルタ7との間に波長変換部材6を形成することにより、波長変換部材6の厚さの制御が容易になり、その結果、波長変換部材6の発光色や照度等のバラツキを低減することも可能となる。また、この際、ポッティングにより長波長透過フィルタ7上に樹脂組成物6を載せることにより、その樹脂組成物6量の管理も容易となる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the wavelength conversion member 6 is formed between the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 provided with the protrusion 23 interposed therebetween, so that the thickness of the wavelength conversion member 6 is increased. Control is facilitated, and as a result, variations in the emission color, illuminance, and the like of the wavelength conversion member 6 can be reduced. At this time, the amount of the resin composition 6 can be easily managed by placing the resin composition 6 on the long wavelength transmission filter 7 by potting.
 更に、本実施形態では、突条部23を挟んで設けられた短波長透過フィルタ5と長波長透過フィルタ7との間に波長変換部材6を形成することにより、LED素子3と蛍光体61(波長変換部材6)との距離を再現性よく管理することが可能となる。そして、突条部23の形成位置を調整することにより、LED素子3からの光の取り出し効率と蛍光体61が受ける熱の影響とが最適なバランスとなるように、LED素子3と蛍光体61(波長変換部材6)との距離を制御することも可能となる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the wavelength conversion member 6 is formed between the short-wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long-wavelength transmission filter 7 provided with the protruding portion 23 interposed therebetween, whereby the LED element 3 and the phosphor 61 ( It becomes possible to manage the distance to the wavelength conversion member 6) with good reproducibility. Then, the LED element 3 and the phosphor 61 are adjusted so that the light extraction efficiency from the LED element 3 and the influence of the heat received by the phosphor 61 are optimally balanced by adjusting the formation position of the protrusion 23. It is also possible to control the distance to the (wavelength conversion member 6).
 また、本実施形態では、基体2を上下に分割したことにより、LED素子3を実装する下部基体2aには絶縁性材料を用い、一方、上部基体2bには絶縁性は必要でないので、熱伝導率が高い金属を用いることができる。この結果、波長変換部材6やLED素子3から発した熱を効率的に上部基体2bに伝導して放熱作用を高めることができる。 In this embodiment, since the base 2 is divided into upper and lower parts, an insulating material is used for the lower base 2a on which the LED element 3 is mounted. On the other hand, the upper base 2b is not required to have an insulating property. A metal with a high rate can be used. As a result, heat generated from the wavelength conversion member 6 and the LED element 3 can be efficiently conducted to the upper base 2b to enhance the heat radiation effect.
 特に、本実施形態では、短波長透過フィルタ5及び長波長透過フィルタ7の周縁が上部基体2bの内側周面222及び突条部23と接しているので、これらフィルタ5、7が、波長変換部材6やLED素子3から発した熱を上部基体2bに伝導して放熱作用を発揮する。このため、波長変換部材6中の蛍光体61が熱劣化することに起因する発光装置1の発光色の変化を良好に抑制することができる。 In particular, in the present embodiment, since the peripheral edges of the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 are in contact with the inner peripheral surface 222 and the protrusions 23 of the upper base 2b, the filters 5 and 7 are wavelength conversion members. 6 or the LED element 3 conducts heat to the upper base 2b to exert a heat radiation effect. For this reason, the change of the luminescent color of the light-emitting device 1 resulting from the thermal deterioration of the fluorescent substance 61 in the wavelength conversion member 6 can be suppressed favorably.
 とりわけ、短波長透過フィルタ5及び長波長透過フィルタ7として、熱伝導性にも優れる誘電体多層膜を用いることにより、LED素子3や波長変換部材6から発した熱を効率的に上部基体2bに伝達して装置外1に放出することができ、蛍光体61の熱劣化や、発光効率や輝度の低下を、より効果的に防ぐことができる。 In particular, by using a dielectric multilayer film having excellent thermal conductivity as the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7, heat generated from the LED element 3 and the wavelength conversion member 6 can be efficiently transmitted to the upper base 2b. It can be transmitted and emitted to the outside of the apparatus 1, and thermal deterioration of the phosphor 61 and reduction in luminous efficiency and luminance can be more effectively prevented.
 なお、本実施形態において、図8に示すように、突条部23に代えて上部基体2bとは別体として設けられたスペーサSを備えていてもよい。当該スペーサSは、例えば、銅、アルミニウム等の熱伝導率が高い金属からなり、波長変換部材6を形成するための貫通孔が設けられた平板状のものである。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, a spacer S provided as a separate body from the upper base 2 b may be provided instead of the ridge 23. The spacer S is made of a metal having high thermal conductivity such as copper or aluminum, and has a flat plate shape provided with a through hole for forming the wavelength conversion member 6.
 更に、図9に示すように、スペーサSが短波長透過フィルタ5や長波長透過フィルタ7と一体になるように、短波長透過フィルタ5又は長波長透過フィルタ7に凹部が形成されており、当該凹部を囲む側周壁がスペーサSとして機能するようにしてもよい。なお、図9に示す実施形態では、スペーサSは、短波長透過フィルタ5と一体となっているが、長波長透過フィルタ7と一体となっていてもよい。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, the short wavelength transmission filter 5 or the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is formed with a recess so that the spacer S is integrated with the short wavelength transmission filter 5 or the long wavelength transmission filter 7. The side peripheral wall surrounding the recess may function as the spacer S. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the spacer S is integrated with the short wavelength transmission filter 5, but may be integrated with the long wavelength transmission filter 7.
 なお、これら変形は、後述する他の実施形態においても適用可能である。 Note that these modifications can also be applied to other embodiments described later.

 本実施形態に係る発光装置1では、図10に示すように、上部基体2bの下端面が突条部23の下端面を兼ねており、上部基体2bはフィルタ5、7のうち長波長透過フィルタ7のみを保持している。一方、下部基体2aは、上端面に開口する凹部を有しており、当該凹部の側面222には段部24が形成されていて、段部24の上端面にその周縁部が載置されるように短波長透過フィルタ5が配設されている。そして、短波長透過フィルタ5は、段部24の上端面と凹部の側面222とに密接することにより、下部基体2aに対し軸方向にも軸直交方向にも位置決めされるように構成してある。 In the light emitting device 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the lower end surface of the upper substrate 2 b also serves as the lower end surface of the protrusion 23, and the upper substrate 2 b is a long wavelength transmission filter among the filters 5 and 7. Only 7 is held. On the other hand, the lower base 2a has a recess opening at the upper end surface, and a step portion 24 is formed on a side surface 222 of the recess, and a peripheral portion thereof is placed on the upper end surface of the step portion 24. In this manner, a short wavelength transmission filter 5 is provided. The short wavelength transmission filter 5 is configured to be positioned both in the axial direction and in the axis orthogonal direction with respect to the lower base 2a by being in close contact with the upper end surface of the step portion 24 and the side surface 222 of the recess. .

 まず、図11(a)~(b)に示すように、下部基体2aの凹部に、段部24の上端面より膨出する程度に多めに透明樹脂4を充填する。しかる後、図11(c)~(d)に示すように、段部24の上端面上にその周縁部が載置されるように短波長透過フィルタ5を配設する。そうすると、溢れた透明樹脂4が段部24の上端面と短波長透過フィルタ5の下面との間に浸み出すが、浸み出した透明樹脂4は下部基体2aと短波長透過フィルタ5とを接着する接着剤として機能する。 First, as shown in FIGS. 11A to 11B, the concave portion of the lower base 2a is filled with a transparent resin 4 that is large enough to bulge from the upper end surface of the stepped portion 24. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 11C to 11D, the short wavelength transmission filter 5 is disposed so that the peripheral edge portion is placed on the upper end surface of the step portion 24. Then, the overflowing transparent resin 4 oozes out between the upper end surface of the step portion 24 and the lower surface of the short wavelength transmission filter 5, and the leached transparent resin 4 passes between the lower base 2 a and the short wavelength transmission filter 5. It functions as an adhesive that adheres.
 次いで、図12(e)~(f)に示すように、下部基体2aに保持された短波長透過フィルタ5の上面に透明樹脂4を載せてから、図13(g)~(h)に示すように、その上に長波長透過フィルタ7とともに波長変換部材6が保持された上部基体2bを設置する。そして、透明樹脂4が下部基体2a(波長変換部材6)と上部基体2b(短波長透過フィルタ5)とを接着する接着剤として機能して、発光装置1が構成される。なお、蛍光体61を含有する樹脂組成物6をポッティングすることにより波長変換部材6を形成すれば、樹脂組成物6量を厳密に制御することができるので、波長変換部材6の下面と上部基体2bの下端面とから、連続した平面を形成することができる。 Next, as shown in FIGS. 12E to 12F, the transparent resin 4 is placed on the upper surface of the short wavelength transmission filter 5 held by the lower substrate 2a, and then shown in FIGS. 13G to 13H. As described above, the upper substrate 2b on which the wavelength conversion member 6 is held together with the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is placed thereon. The transparent resin 4 functions as an adhesive that bonds the lower substrate 2a (wavelength conversion member 6) and the upper substrate 2b (short wavelength transmission filter 5), and thus the light emitting device 1 is configured. Note that if the wavelength conversion member 6 is formed by potting the resin composition 6 containing the phosphor 61, the amount of the resin composition 6 can be strictly controlled. A continuous plane can be formed from the lower end surface of 2b.
<第3実施形態>
 以下に、本発明の第3実施形態について、図面を参照して説明する。なお、以下においては第1及び第2実施形態と異なる点を中心に説明し、これらの実施形態と同様な点については説明を省略する。
<Third Embodiment>
Below, 3rd Embodiment of this invention is described with reference to drawings. In the following, differences from the first and second embodiments will be mainly described, and description of the same points as those of the embodiments will be omitted.
 本実施形態に係る発光装置1では、図14に示すように、凹部22の下部に光射出方向に向かうほど拡開する切頭円錐形状の空間が設けてあり、当該切頭円錐形状の空間内には、封止部材4が設けられている。切頭円錐形状の空間の上には、短波長透過フィルタ5と波長変換部材6と長波長透過フィルタ7とが下から順に配置されており、短波長透過フィルタ5と長波長透過フィルタ7との間には凹部22のテーパ面と略面一となる連続面が形成されるようにスペーサSが設けられている。当該スペーサSは光射出方向に向かうほど拡開する切頭円錐形状の貫通孔が設けられた平板状のものである。 In the light-emitting device 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, a truncated cone-shaped space that expands toward the light emission direction is provided at the lower portion of the recess 22, and the inside of the truncated cone-shaped space is provided. Is provided with a sealing member 4. On the truncated conical space, a short wavelength transmission filter 5, a wavelength conversion member 6, and a long wavelength transmission filter 7 are arranged in order from the bottom, and the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 are A spacer S is provided so that a continuous surface that is substantially flush with the tapered surface of the recess 22 is formed therebetween. The spacer S is a flat plate provided with a truncated conical through-hole that expands toward the light emission direction.
 切頭円錐形状の空間のテーパ面には金属薄膜が設けられており、一方、スペーサSはアルミニウムや白色の樹脂等からなり、両者が凹部22の底から開口付近に至る略連続した傾斜面を形成することにより、当該傾斜面がリフレクタとして機能する。 The tapered surface of the truncated conical space is provided with a metal thin film, while the spacer S is made of aluminum, white resin, or the like, and both have a substantially continuous inclined surface extending from the bottom of the recess 22 to the vicinity of the opening. By forming, the inclined surface functions as a reflector.
 次に、本実施形態に係る発光装置1の製造方法について、図15~19を参照して説明する。 Next, a method for manufacturing the light emitting device 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
 まず、上部基体2bのテーパ面より上部の内側面に形成された段部の上端面上に短波長透過フィルタ5を配置し、更に、その上にスペーサSを配置する(図15(a)~(c))。 First, the short wavelength transmission filter 5 is disposed on the upper end surface of the step formed on the inner surface above the tapered surface of the upper base 2b, and the spacer S is disposed thereon (FIG. 15 (a) to FIG. 15). (C)).
 次いで、スペーサSの貫通孔内に蛍光体を含有する樹脂組成物6を所定量充填する(図16(d)~(e))。更に、その上から長波長透過フィルタ7を設けることにより(図17(f))、長波長透過フィルタ7と短波長透過フィルタ5とに挟まれた波長変換部材6により上部基体2bの光射出側の開口部に蓋をする(図17(g))。 Next, a predetermined amount of the resin composition 6 containing a phosphor is filled in the through holes of the spacers S (FIGS. 16D to 16E). Further, by providing the long wavelength transmission filter 7 from above (FIG. 17 (f)), the light emitting side of the upper base 2b is disposed by the wavelength conversion member 6 sandwiched between the long wavelength transmission filter 7 and the short wavelength transmission filter 5. The opening is covered (FIG. 17 (g)).
 次いで、長波長透過フィルタ7が下側になるように上部基体2bを反転してから、切頭円錐形状の空間に透明樹脂4を充填する(図18(h)~(i))。しかる後、上部基体2bの上にLED素子3が実装された下部基体2aをLED素子3下に向けて設置する(図19(j))。このようにして、下部基体2aと上部基体2bとが一体となった発光装置1を得ることができる(図19(k))。 Next, after the upper substrate 2b is inverted so that the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is on the lower side, the transparent resin 4 is filled in the truncated conical space (FIGS. 18 (h) to (i)). Thereafter, the lower base 2a on which the LED element 3 is mounted is placed on the upper base 2b so as to face the lower side of the LED element 3 (FIG. 19 (j)). In this way, the light emitting device 1 in which the lower base 2a and the upper base 2b are integrated can be obtained (FIG. 19 (k)).
 このように長波長透過フィルタ7が下側になるように上部基体2bを反転してから、切頭円錐形状の空間に透明樹脂4を充填することにより、封止部材4と短波長透過フィルタ5との間に気泡が残留しないようにすることができる。 In this way, the upper base 2b is inverted so that the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is on the lower side, and then the sealing resin 4 and the short wavelength transmission filter 5 are filled with the transparent resin 4 in the truncated conical space. It is possible to prevent bubbles from remaining between.
 なお、本発明は前記実施形態に限られるものではない。 The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
 例えば、本発明に係る発光装置1は、図20に示すように、第2実施形態とは異なり、下部基体2aの上端面に開口する凹部内には短波長透過フィルタ5を嵌め込むための段部24が形成されていなくてもよい。 For example, as shown in FIG. 20, the light emitting device 1 according to the present invention is different from the second embodiment in that a step for fitting the short wavelength transmission filter 5 in a recess opening in the upper end surface of the lower base 2a. The part 24 may not be formed.
 このような実施形態の発光装置1を製造するには、まず、図21(a)~(b)に示すように、下部基体2aの凹部に、その上端面より膨出する程度に多めに透明樹脂4を充填する。しかる後、図22(c)~(d)に示すように、下部基体2a上に、短波長透過フィルタ5及び長波長透過フィルタ7とともに波長変換部材6が保持された上部基体2bを設置する。なお、このようにすると、溢れた透明樹脂4が下部基体2aの上端面と上部基体2bの下端面との間に浸み出すが、浸み出した透明樹脂4は下部基体2aと上部基体2bとを接着する接着剤として機能する。 In order to manufacture the light emitting device 1 of such an embodiment, first, as shown in FIGS. 21 (a) to 21 (b), it is transparent so as to bulge from the upper end surface of the concave portion of the lower base 2a. Resin 4 is filled. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 22C to 22D, the upper base 2b holding the wavelength conversion member 6 together with the short wavelength transmission filter 5 and the long wavelength transmission filter 7 is installed on the lower base 2a. In this case, the overflowing transparent resin 4 oozes out between the upper end surface of the lower base 2a and the lower end surface of the upper base 2b. The leached transparent resin 4 flows into the lower base 2a and the upper base 2b. Functions as an adhesive.
 また、図23に示すように、上部基体2bが突状部23を構成する環状体のみからなるものであってもよい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the upper base 2b may be composed only of an annular body constituting the protruding portion 23.
 更に、図24~26に示すように、上部基体2bにはその上面に開口する溝24が設けられていてもよく、また、下部基体2aにはその側面に開口する溝25が設けられていてもよい。このような溝24、25が設けられていることにより、溝24には、多めに充填した樹脂組成物6が内部の空気を押し出しながら流入し、溝25には、多めに充填した透明樹脂4が内部の空気を押し出しながら流入するので、波長変換部材6や封止部材4中への気泡の形成を防ぐことができる。また、図24~26に示す実施形態においては、短波長透過フィルタ5の下面と上部基体2bの内側周面222と下部基体2aの凹部底面221とに囲まれた空間には、下方に向かうほど径が小さくなる切頭円錐形状の貫通孔が形成された環状体からなる反射部材8が配置されている。当該反射部材8の貫通孔の表面には、銀、アルミニウム、金等の金属メッキ等が施されることにより高反射率の金属薄膜が形成されており、リフレクタ(反射膜)として機能している。反射部材8の上面と短波長透過フィルタ5の下面との間には隙間が形成されており、余剰の透明樹脂4は当該間隙を通過して溝25に流れ込むように構成されている。 Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 24 to 26, the upper base 2b may be provided with a groove 24 opened on its upper surface, and the lower base 2a is provided with a groove 25 opened on its side face. Also good. By providing such grooves 24 and 25, the resin composition 6 that is filled in a large amount flows into the groove 24 while extruding the air inside, and the transparent resin 4 that is filled up in the groove 25 a lot. Since the air flows in while pushing out the air inside, the formation of bubbles in the wavelength conversion member 6 and the sealing member 4 can be prevented. In addition, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 24 to 26, the space surrounded by the lower surface of the short wavelength transmission filter 5, the inner peripheral surface 222 of the upper base 2b, and the concave bottom surface 221 of the lower base 2a is directed downward. A reflecting member 8 made of an annular body in which a truncated conical through-hole having a reduced diameter is formed is disposed. On the surface of the through hole of the reflecting member 8, a metal thin film having a high reflectivity is formed by applying metal plating such as silver, aluminum, and gold, and functions as a reflector (reflection film). . A gap is formed between the upper surface of the reflecting member 8 and the lower surface of the short wavelength transmission filter 5, and excess transparent resin 4 is configured to flow into the groove 25 through the gap.
 当該実施形態を電球型LED用の発光装置1に応用した具体例を図27及び28に示す。図27及び28に示す発光装置1は平面視略円状をなすものであり、120個のLED素子が実装されている。 Specific examples in which the embodiment is applied to the light emitting device 1 for a light bulb type LED are shown in FIGS. The light-emitting device 1 shown in FIGS. 27 and 28 has a substantially circular shape in plan view, and 120 LED elements are mounted thereon.
 長波長透過フィルタ7は、430nm近傍を境界として、電磁波の反射率と透過率とが逆転するものであれば、図4に示すような光学特性を有するものに限定されず、図29に示すような光学特性を有し、若干の紫外線や短波長の可視光線を透過するものであってもよい。このようなものであれば、紫色光により演色性を呈する必要がある場合や、放熱特性を向上させる必要がある場合、また、長波長透過フィルタ7で反射し基体2に吸収される紫外線や短波長の可視光線を減らし、基体2の劣化を抑制する必要がある場合等に有効である。 The long wavelength transmission filter 7 is not limited to the one having the optical characteristics as shown in FIG. 4 as long as the reflectance and transmittance of the electromagnetic wave are reversed around 430 nm, as shown in FIG. It may have good optical characteristics and transmit some ultraviolet rays or visible light having a short wavelength. In such a case, when it is necessary to exhibit color rendering properties by violet light, or when it is necessary to improve the heat dissipation characteristics, ultraviolet rays or short rays reflected by the long wavelength transmission filter 7 and absorbed by the base 2 are used. This is effective when it is necessary to reduce visible light having a wavelength and suppress deterioration of the substrate 2.
 波長変換部材6を形成するには、図30に示すように、複数個分の短波長透過フィルタ5又は長波長透過フィルタ7に相当する大きさの大型フィルタB上に、複数個分の波長変換部材6が一括して形成されるように、蛍光体61を含有する樹脂組成物6を、インクジェットプリンター等を用いて印刷し、当該樹脂組成物6を硬化させて、複数個の波長変換部材6を一度に形成してから、大型フィルタBを切断するようにしてもよい。 In order to form the wavelength conversion member 6, as shown in FIG. 30, a plurality of wavelength conversions are performed on a large filter B having a size corresponding to a plurality of short wavelength transmission filters 5 or a long wavelength transmission filter 7. The resin composition 6 containing the phosphor 61 is printed using an ink jet printer or the like so that the member 6 is formed in a lump, and the resin composition 6 is cured, so that a plurality of wavelength conversion members 6 are formed. May be formed at a time and then the large filter B may be cut.
 また、蛍光体61を含有する樹脂組成物6を大型フィルタB上に印刷する際には、青色蛍光体を含有する樹脂組成物6Bと、緑色蛍光体を含有する樹脂組成物6Gと、赤色蛍光体を含有する樹脂組成物6Rと、を別々に、この順に重ねて印刷してもよい。このように印刷することにより、図31に示すように、3層構造を有する波長変換部材6を形成することができる。そして、赤色蛍光体61R、緑色蛍光体61G、青色蛍光体61Bをそれぞれ含有する層が、LED素子3側から、赤色蛍光体含有層6R、緑色蛍光体含有層6G、青色蛍光体含有層6Bの順に積層されているようにすると、青色蛍光体61Bが発した青色光や緑色蛍光体61Gが発した緑色光が他の蛍光体61に吸収されず、このため、エネルギー変換効率、光の取り出し効率を向上することができる。 Further, when the resin composition 6 containing the phosphor 61 is printed on the large filter B, the resin composition 6B containing the blue phosphor, the resin composition 6G containing the green phosphor, and the red fluorescence. The resin composition 6R containing the body may be printed separately in this order. By printing in this way, the wavelength conversion member 6 having a three-layer structure can be formed as shown in FIG. The layers containing the red phosphor 61R, the green phosphor 61G, and the blue phosphor 61B are respectively the red phosphor-containing layer 6R, the green phosphor-containing layer 6G, and the blue phosphor-containing layer 6B from the LED element 3 side. When the layers are sequentially stacked, the blue light emitted from the blue phosphor 61B and the green light emitted from the green phosphor 61G are not absorbed by the other phosphors 61. Therefore, the energy conversion efficiency and the light extraction efficiency are reduced. Can be improved.
 その他、本発明は上記の各実施形態に限られず、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない限り、前述した種々の構成の一部又は全部を適宜組み合わせて構成してもよい。 In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be configured by appropriately combining some or all of the various configurations described above without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
 このような構成の本発明によれば、波長変換部材等の分類・管理が容易で、発光装置の発光色や照度を制御し易く、発光装置を高い歩留まりで製造することができる。また、上部基体は絶縁性を要しないので、上部基体を構成する材料として熱伝導率が高い金属を使用することができ、その結果、波長変換部材から発した熱を効率的に上部基体に伝導して放熱作用を高めることができる。更に、本発明によれば、基体凹部の内面に形成された金属薄膜からなるリフレクタの腐食、劣化を防ぐことも可能となる。 According to the present invention having such a configuration, the wavelength conversion member and the like can be easily classified and managed, the light emission color and illuminance of the light emitting device can be easily controlled, and the light emitting device can be manufactured with a high yield. In addition, since the upper substrate does not require insulation, a metal having high thermal conductivity can be used as a material constituting the upper substrate, and as a result, heat generated from the wavelength conversion member is efficiently conducted to the upper substrate. Thus, the heat dissipation action can be enhanced.
