Definitions
- the present invention relates to an LED device sealant for sealing an LED element, an LED device, and a method for manufacturing the LED device.
- a phosphor such as a YAG phosphor has been placed in the vicinity of a gallium nitride (GaN) blue LED (Light Emitting Diode) chip, and has received blue light and blue light emitted from the blue LED chip.
- GaN gallium nitride
- An LED device that obtains white light by mixing yellow light emitted from a phosphor is widely used.
- various phosphors are arranged in the vicinity of the blue LED chip, and the blue light emitted from the blue LED chip and the red light and green light emitted from the phosphor receiving the blue light are mixed to obtain white light.
- Equipment has also been developed.
- White LED devices have a variety of uses, for example, there is a demand as an alternative to fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps.
- Such an illuminating device has a configuration in which a plurality of white LED devices are combined, and how to increase the light extraction efficiency of each white LED device is important in realizing cost reduction and long life. come.
- a method of sealing the LED chip and its mounting portion with a transparent resin layer (wavelength conversion layer) in which a phosphor is dispersed is generally used (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- the white LED device having such a structure has a large refractive index difference between the LED chip and the sealing resin. For this reason, when light emitted from the LED chip enters the transparent resin layer, interface reflection is likely to occur, and there is a problem that the light extraction efficiency (external quantum efficiency) is significantly reduced.
- Patent Document 2 an uneven structure is provided on the surface of the transparent resin layer. According to this technique, light from the inside of the LED chip is scattered, dispersed, and diffracted, and the light extraction efficiency is increased. However, since reflection occurs at the interface between the LED chip and the transparent resin layer, the light extraction efficiency is not sufficient.
- Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 have high gas permeability. Therefore, the metal reflector on which the LED chip is mounted corrodes with time and the reflection efficiency decreases; there is also a problem that the light extraction efficiency from the LED device decreases.
- the silicone resin is excellent in heat resistance and ultraviolet light resistance.
- phenyl silicone resin has low gas permeability compared to methyl silicone resin and the like. Therefore, it has been studied to coat LED chips with phenyl silicone resin.
- the resistance to sulfur gas is not yet sufficient, and it has not been applicable to outdoor lighting devices that require high resistance to sulfur gas.
- the phenyl silicone resin is not sufficient in adhesion, transparency, and light resistance.
- Patent Document 3 an LED device in which an LED chip and a metal reflector are covered with an inorganic material layer and a transparent resin layer is laminated thereon has been proposed (Patent Document 3).
- the metal reflector since the metal reflector is covered with an inorganic material layer having low gas permeability, the metal reflector is unlikely to corrode.
- the refractive index decreases in the order of the light source, the inorganic material layer, the transparent resin layer, and the atmosphere, reflection at the interface of each layer is reduced.
- Patent Documents 4 and 5 describe a technique for covering an LED chip or the like with a tetrafunctional alkoxysilane.
- Patent Documents 6 to 8 describe techniques for forming a sealing material containing siloxane by a sol-gel method.
- Patent Document 9 or 10 describes a technique for forming a sealing material made of polymetalloxane by a sol-gel reaction of a metal alkoxide.
- Patent Document 3 has a problem that the adhesion between the inorganic material layer and the transparent resin layer is not sufficient; when a load is generated due to a temperature change, the inorganic material layer and the transparent resin layer peel off. This is because the linear expansion coefficients of the inorganic material layer and the transparent resin layer are different. Further, the LED device of Patent Document 3 has a problem that the gas barrier property is not sufficient, and the light extraction efficiency is lowered with time. Since the inorganic material layer is formed from sol-gel glass, cracks are likely to occur in the inorganic material layer, and it is assumed that the gas barrier properties deteriorate with time.
- the sealing materials of the above-mentioned Patent Documents 4 and 5 are hydrolyzed tetrafunctional alkoxysilanes; usually, an incomplete glass body containing 10% by mass or more of silanol is obtained. Therefore, the resistance to sulfide gas of the sealing material is not sufficient.
- tetrafunctional alkoxysilanes have a large amount of components desorbed during dehydration and dealcoholization condensation, and essentially have a large shrinkage during curing.
- the polysiloxane composed of tetrafunctional alkoxysilane is cured from the surface portion, after the hard gel body is formed, the internal solvent is released to the outside and large shrinkage occurs. As a result, it is difficult to have sufficient resistance to sulfide gas.
- the phosphor material functions as an aggregate of layers. Therefore, if no phosphor is added, a glass-like sealing material that is transparent and free from cracks cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the technique described in Patent Document 7 also includes an inorganic light scattering agent in the sealing material. In this case as well, when the inorganic light scattering agent is not included, the glass-like sealing is transparent and has no cracks. It is difficult to obtain a stop material.
- Patent Document 9 or 10 a sealing material made of polymetalloxane is obtained by sol-gel reaction of a silane alkoxide alone or a mixture of a silane alkoxide and titanium alkoxide, zirconia alkoxide or the like as a metal alkoxide.
- the solution comprising the alkoxide has poor storage stability, and further, due to its high reactivity, cracks are likely to occur during film formation.
- molten glass is not realistic because the handling temperature is as high as 350 ° C. or higher and the LED element may be damaged.
- an object of the present invention is to provide an LED device sealant that is excellent in sulfur gas resistance and that can form a layer that does not crack or peel even after long-term use, and an LED device using the same. The purpose is to do.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an LED device having a light-transmitting layer that does not peel even when a load due to temperature occurs.

It has been found that by using a sealant for an LED device comprising a metal compound and a solvent, the resistance of the cured film to sulfide gas is increased and cracks are less likely to occur in the cured film.

Furthermore, it has also been found that the light extraction from the LED device is enhanced by disposing the light transmitting layer.
- an organic metal monomer is applied onto the LED element to form a primer layer, and a light-transmitting layer is formed thereon, whereby the LED element and the light-transmitting layer are firmly laminated via the primer layer, and the LED It has been found that the heat resistance and gas barrier properties of the apparatus are improved.

本発明のLED装置用封止剤は、LED素子を封止する層の成膜に使用される。本発明のLED装置用封止剤の硬化膜(封止層)は、LED素子との密着性が良好であり、さらに硫化ガスに対する耐性も高い。また当該硬化膜は、厚膜とした場合にも透明性、耐光性、耐熱成に優れ、かつ長期間使用してもクラックを生じることがない。さらにLED装置に当該硬化膜が含まれると、LED装置の光取り出し効率が高まる。
バインダ型封止剤には、ポリシロキサン、有機金属化合物、及び溶媒が含まれ、必要に応じて無機微粒子等が含まれる。
バインダ型封止剤に含まれるポリシロキサンは、3官能モノメチルシラン化合物と、4官能シラン化合物との重合体である。
3官能モノメチルシラン化合物には、下記一般式(I)で表される化合物が含まれる。
CH3Si(OR1)3 …(I)
上記一般式(I)中、R1は、それぞれ独立にアルキル基またはフェニル基を表し、好ましくは炭素数1~5のアルキル基、またはフェニル基を表す。
Si(OR2)4 …(II)
上記一般式(II)中、R2はそれぞれ独立にアルキル基またはフェニル基を表し、好ましくは炭素数1~5のアルキル基、またはフェニル基を表す。
ポリシロキサンは、上記3官能モノメチルシラン化合物及び4官能シラン化合物を、酸触媒、水、有機溶媒の存在下で加水分解し、縮合反応させて調製される。得られるポリシロキサンの質量平均分子量は、反応条件(特に反応時間)等で調整される。
R3-SO3H …(III)
(一般式(III)中、R3は、置換基を有していてもよい炭化水素基である。)
バインダ型封止剤には、4族または13族の金属元素を含む金属アルコキシドまたは金属キレートからなる有機金属化合物が含まれる。前述のように、有機金属化合物中の金属は、ポリシロキサンや、LED素子の各部材表面の水酸基と、メタロキサン結合を形成する。また有機金属化合物の一部は、バインダ型封止剤の硬化膜中で、シロキサン結合からなるナノサイズのクラスタを形成する。
Mm+XnYm-n …(IV)
一般式(IV)中、Mは4族または13族の金属元素を表す。また一般式(IV)中、mはMの価数を表し、3または4を表す。一般式(IV)中、nはX基の数を表し、2以上4以下の整数である。但し、m≧nである。
バインダ型封止剤には、溶媒が含まれる。溶媒は、水と、水との相溶性に優れた有機溶媒を組み合わせた水性溶媒;もしくは、水との相溶性が低い有機溶媒であって、水を含有しない非水性溶媒でありうる。水との相溶性に優れた有機溶媒の例には、例えばメタノール、エタノール、プロパノール、ブタノールなどのアルコール類が含まれる。
バインダ型封止剤には、無機微粒子が含まれてもよい。無機微粒子が含まれると、バインダ型封止剤の粘度が高まり、さらに硬化膜の強度が向上する。さらに、屈折率の高い無機微粒子が含まれると、バインダ型封止剤の硬化膜の光取り出し効率が高まる。
バインダ型封止剤のpHは、1~4であることが好ましい。pHが1未満もしくは4を超えると、ポリシロキサンもしくは有機金属化合物が反応してしまい、保存時に沈殿物等が生じる場合がある。バインダ型封止剤のpH調整のため、必要に応じて、例えば硝酸等、pH調整剤等が含まれてもよい。
バインダ型封止剤は、溶媒に、ポリシロキサンや有機金属化合物、無機微粒子等を混合して調製する。混合液の調製は、任意の方法で行うことができ、例えば、撹拌ミル、ブレード混練撹拌装置、薄膜旋回型分散機などで攪拌する。
バインダ型封止剤は、例えば図3に示されるLED装置100の封止層6の成膜に用いられる。図3に示される構成のLED装置100では、封止層6上にさらに、LEDチップ3から出射する光の波長を変換する波長変換層8を有する。当該LED装置100において、封止層6は、LED素子のパッケージ1、メタル部2、LEDチップ3等を封止する機能を担う。当該封止層6は、LED素子のパッケージ1、メタル部2、LEDチップ3等を被覆するように、バインダ型封止剤を塗布し、これを乾燥・硬化させることで成膜される。
蛍光体含有封止剤には、ポリシロキサン、有機金属化合物、溶媒、及び蛍光体粒子が含まれ、必要に応じて平板状粒子、及び無機微粒子等が含まれる。
蛍光体含有封止剤に含まれるポリシロキサンは、前述のバインダ型封止剤に含まれるポリシロキサンと同様でありうる。蛍光体含有封止剤に含まれるポリシロキサンの量は、蛍光体含有封止剤の硬化物中のポリシロキサン量が3質量%以上35質量%以下となる量が好ましく、10質量%以上30質量%以下となる量が好ましい。
蛍光体含有封止剤に含まれる有機金属化合物は、前述のバインダ型封止剤に含まれる有機金属化合物と同様でありうる。またポリシロキサンの量に対する、有機金属化合物の量も前述のバインダ型封止剤と同様でありうる。
蛍光体含有封止剤に含まれる溶媒は、水と、水との相溶性に優れた有機溶媒を組み合わせた水性溶媒;もしくは、水との相溶性が低い有機溶媒であって、水を含有しない非水性溶媒のいずれであってもよい。ただし、蛍光体含有封止剤に含まれる蛍光体粒子が、水によって劣化しやすい場合には、非水性溶媒が好ましい。
蛍光体粒子は、LED素子(LEDチップ)からの出射光の波長(励起波長)により励起されて、励起波長と異なる波長の蛍光を出射するものであればよい。例えば、LEDチップから青色光が出射する場合、蛍光体含有封止剤の硬化膜に黄色の蛍光を発する蛍光体粒子が含まれると、LED装置から出射する光が白色となる。黄色の蛍光を発する蛍光体粒子の例には、YAG(イットリウム・アルミニウム・ガーネット)蛍光体が挙げられる。YAG蛍光体は、青色LED素子から出射される青色光(波長420nm~485nm)を黄色光(波長550nm~650nm)に変換することができる。
蛍光体含有封止剤には、上記蛍光体粒子と共に、平板状粒子が含まれてもよい。蛍光体含有封止剤に平板状粒子が含まれると、蛍光体含有封止剤の粘度が高まり、該封止剤中での蛍光体粒子の沈降が抑制される。平板状粒子は、蛍光体含有封止剤中においてカードハウスを形成する。そのため、平板状粒子が含まれると、蛍光体含有封止剤の粘度が大幅に高まる。
蛍光体含有封止剤には、無機微粒子が含まれてもよい。無機微粒子が含まれることで、無機微粒子が蛍光体粒子同士の隙間に入り込み、蛍光体含有封止剤の硬化膜の強度が高まる。また無機微粒子が多孔質である場合には、多孔質の空隙部に溶媒が入り込み、蛍光体含有封止剤の粘度が効果的に高まる。無機微粒子の比表面積は200m2/g以上であることが好ましい。
蛍光体含有封止剤のpHは1~4であることが好ましい。pHが1未満もしくは4を超えると、保存中にポリシロキサンや有機金属化合物が反応しやすくなり、沈殿等が生じる場合がある。蛍光体含有封止剤のpH調整のため、必要に応じて、例えば硝酸等、pH調整剤等を添加してもよい。
蛍光体含有封止剤は、溶媒に、蛍光体粒子、ポリシロキサン、有機金属化合物、及び必要に応じて、無機微粒子、平板状粒子等を混合して調製する。
蛍光体含有封止剤は、図1または図2に示されるLED装置100の封止層6の成膜に用いられる。当該LED装置100では、封止層6が、LEDチップ3やメタル部2等の封止機能だけでなく、LEDチップ3から出射する光の波長を変換する波長変換機能も担う。当該封止層6は、LED素子のパッケージ1、メタル部2、LEDチップ3を保護するガラス基板9等を被覆するように、蛍光体含有封止剤を塗布し、これを乾燥・硬化して成膜される。
本発明のLED装置には、以下の3つの態様が含まれる。いずれのLED装置も、硫化ガス耐性に優れ、長期間使用してもクラックや剥離が生じ難い。
(1)LED素子と、これを封止する封止層と、を有するLED装置であって、封止層が前述のLED装置用封止剤の硬化膜からなるLED装置
(2)LED素子と、これを被覆する透光層と、当該透光層に接するように配置された波長変換層と、を有するLED装置であって、透光層がポリシロキサン、金属酸化物微粒子、及び溶媒を含む透光層用組成物の硬化膜からなるLED装置
(3)LED素子と、これを被覆するプライマー層と、当該プライマー層に接するように配置された透光層と、透光層上に配置された波長変換層と、を有するLED装置
第一のLED装置は、LED素子と、これを被覆する封止層とを有し、当該封止層が前述のLED装置用封止剤の硬化膜からなる。第一のLED装置は、例えば、図1~3に示されるように、パッケージ(LED基板)1やLEDチップ3を含むLED素子と、これを覆う封止層6とを有する構造であればよく;例えば図3に示されるように、LEDチップ3からの出射光を、他の特定波長の光に変換するための波長変換層8が含まれてもよい。
LED素子は、図1~3に示されるように、パッケージ(LED基板)1と、メタル部2と、パッケージ1に配置されたLEDチップ3と、メタル部2とLEDチップ3とを接続する突起電極4とを有する。また、図1に示されるように、LEDチップ3を被覆するガラス基板9が含まれてもよい。
封止層6は、前述のLED装置用封止剤の硬化膜からなる。封止層6には、(i)蛍光体粒子が含まれてもよく、(ii)蛍光体粒子が含まれなくてもよい。
封止層6に蛍光体粒子が含まれると、封止層6がLEDチップの出射光を波長変換するための波長変換部位としての機能を果たす。以下、蛍光体粒子が含まれる封止層を「波長変換型封止層」と称する。
波長変換型封止層6を1液型で形成する場合には、前述のLED素子上に、前述の蛍光体含有封止剤を塗布し、これを硬化させる。
波長変換型封止層6を2液型で形成する場合、1)前述のLED素子を被覆するように、蛍光体分散液を塗布して蛍光体粒子を配置する工程と、2)蛍光体分散液を塗布したLED素子を被覆するように、前述のバインダ型封止剤を塗布し、硬化させる工程とを行う。当該方法によれば、内部に蛍光体含有粒子を含む波長変換型封止層6が成膜される。
波長変換型封止層6を2液型で形成する場合、まず、前述のLED素子を被覆するように、蛍光体分散液を塗布して蛍光体粒子を配置する。
蛍光体分散液は、蛍光体粒子と、平板状粒子とを溶媒に分散させた分散液等でありうる。蛍光体分散液には、さらに無機微粒子等が含まれてもよい。つまりポリシロキサン及び有機金属化合物が含まれないこと以外は、蛍光体含有封止剤と同様でありうる。
蛍光体分散液を塗布したLED素子を被覆するように、前述のバインダ型封止剤を塗布する。バインダ型封止剤の塗布方法は特に限定されず、ブレード塗布、スピンコート塗布、ディスペンサー塗布、スプレー塗布などでありうる。特に、スプレー塗布は薄い塗布膜を成膜しやすいために好ましい。
封止層6に、蛍光体粒子が含まれない場合、図3に示されるように、封止層6上にさらに後述の波長変換層8が形成される。LED素子と波長変換層8との間に封止層6が含まれると、LED装置100からの光取り出し効率が高まる。これは以下の理由による。
波長変換層8は、LEDチップの発光波長を変換するための層であり、前述の封止層6(蛍光体粒子を含まない封止層)上に積層される。波長変換層8は、透明樹脂中に蛍光体粒子が分散された層である。波長変換層8に含まれる蛍光体粒子は、前述のLED装置用封止剤(蛍光体含有封止剤)に含まれる蛍光体粒子と同様でありうる。波長変換層8に含まれる透明樹脂は、透明の熱硬化性樹脂でありうる。具体的には、シリコーン樹脂、エポキシ樹脂等が挙げられ、特にシリコーン樹脂が好ましい。
第二のLED装置は、図4及び図5に示されるように、LED素子と、透光層7と、波長変換層8とを有する。透光層7は、ポリシロキサン、金属酸化物微粒子、及び溶媒を含む透光層用組成物の硬化膜である。
LED素子は、図4及び5に示されるように、パッケージ(LED基板)1と、メタル部2と、パッケージ1に配置されたLEDチップ3と、メタル部2とLEDチップ3とを接続する金属配線もしくは突起電極4とを有する。また、LEDチップ3を被覆するガラス基板(図示せず)が含まれてもよい。第二のLED装置におけるLED素子は、第一のLED装置のLED素子と同様でありうる。
透光層7は、ポリシロキサン、金属酸化物微粒子、及び溶媒を含む透光層用組成物の硬化膜であり、前述のLED素子を被覆する。LED素子を被覆するとは、LEDチップ3の発光面とメタル部2とを、少なくとも被覆することをいう。例えば図4に示されるように、LEDパッケージ1や、金属配線4を完全に被覆していなくともよい。
ポリシロキサンは、4官能シラン化合物を含むモノマーの重合体でありうる。モノマーには、4官能シラン化合物だけでなく、3官能シラン化合物や2官能シラン化合物が含まれてもよい。モノマー中に含まれる4官能シラン化合物の量は、20~80質量%であることが好ましく、より好ましくは30~70質量%である。4官能シラン化合物の含有量が過剰であると、ポリシロキサンの架橋度が大きくなり、成膜時に収縮が生じてクラックが発生しやすくなる。一方、4官能シラン化合物の量が過剰に少ないと、透光層7中に、3官能シラン化合物や2官能シラン化合物由来の有機基が多量に残存することとなる。その結果、波長変換層8を成膜するための組成物の濡れ性が低下し、透光層7と波長変換層8との密着性が低下する。
R5 2Si(OR4)2 …(V)
上記一般式(V)中、R4は、それぞれ独立にアルキル基またはフェニル基を表し、好ましくは炭素数1~5のアルキル基、またはフェニル基を表す。また、R5は、それぞれ独立に、水素原子またはアルキル基を表す。
透光層用組成物には、金属酸化物微粒子が含まれる。透光層用組成物の硬化膜;すなわち透光層7内に金属酸化物微粒子が含まれると、透光層7表面に凹凸が生じ、透光層7と波長変換層8との間にアンカー効果が発現する。またこの凹凸により、波長変換層8を形成するための組成物の濡れ性が良好となり、透光層7と波長変換層8との密着性が高まる。
透光層用組成物に含まれる溶媒は特に制限されない。溶媒は水と、水との相溶性に優れた有機溶媒を組み合わせた水性溶媒;もしくは、水との相溶性が低い有機溶媒であって、水を含有しない非水性溶媒でありうる。水との相溶性に優れた有機溶媒の例にはメタノール、エタノール、プロパノール、ブタノールなどのアルコール類がある。
透光層用組成物には、Si元素以外の金属元素を含む金属アルコキシドまたは金属キレートからなる有機金属化合物が含まれてもよい。有機金属化合物は、透光層成膜時に、前述のポリシロキサンや、LED素子や波長変換層の表面に存在する水酸基と、メタロキサン結合を形成する。当該メタロキサン結合は非常に強固である。そのため、有機金属化合物が含まれると、透光層7とLED素子、並びに透光層7と波長変換層8との密着性が高まる。
透光層用組成物は、溶媒に、ポリシロキサン、金属酸化物微粒子、有機金属化合物、各種添加剤等を添加して混合液とし、この混合液を攪拌することで製造される。各成分の添加の順序は特に制限されない。
透光層7は、前述の透光層用組成物を、前述のLED素子の、少なくともメタル部(メタル配線)2と、パッケージ1に配置されたLEDチップ3の発光面とを覆うように塗布して形成される。塗布の手段は特に制限されず、ブレード塗布、スピンコート塗布、ディスペンサー塗布、スプレー塗布などでありうる。特に、スプレー塗布は薄い塗布膜を成膜しやすく、薄い透光層を形成しやすいために好ましい。
波長変換層8は、LEDチップ3から出射する特定波長の光を、他の特定波長の光に変換する層である。波長変換層8は、透明樹脂中に蛍光体粒子が分散された層でありうる。波長変換層8は、前述の第一のLED装置の波長変換層と同様でありうる。
第三のLED装置は、図6及び図7に示されるように、LED素子と、プライマー層5と、透光層7と、波長変換層8とを有する。
LED素子は、図6及び7に示されるように、パッケージ(LED基板)1と、メタル部2と、パッケージ1に配置されたLEDチップ3と、メタル部2とLEDチップ3とを接続する金属配線もしくは突起電極4とを有する。また、LEDチップ3を被覆するガラス基板(図示せず)が含まれてもよい。第三のLED装置におけるLED素子は、第一のLED装置のLED素子と同様でありうる。
プライマー層5は、LED素子を被覆し、このプライマー層5上には、後述の透光層7が積層される。LED素子を被覆するとは、図6に示されるように、LEDチップ3の発光面と、メタル部2とを少なくとも被覆することをいい、パッケージ1や、配線4を完全に被覆していなくともよい。ただし、プライマー層5が、パッケージ1の一部も被覆することが好ましい。
有機金属モノマーは、金属元素と、反応性官能基とを有するモノマーであり、加水分解・重縮合反応してメタロキサン結合を形成する化合物である。ここで、反応性官能基とは、水で加水分解されて、反応性に富む水酸基を生成する基をいう。

プライマー層用組成物に含まれる溶媒は、前述の有機金属モノマーを溶解、もしくは均一に分散可能なものであればよい。その例には、メタノール、エタノール、プロパノール、n-ブタノール等の一価アルコール;メチル-3-メトキシプロピオネート、エチル-3-エトキシプロピオネート等のアルキルカルボン酸エステル;エチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、グリセリン、トリメチロールプロパン、ヘキサントリオール等の多価アルコール;エチレングリコールモノメチルエーテル、エチレングリコールモノエチルエーテル、エチレングリコールモノプロピルエーテル、エチレングリコールモノブチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールモノメチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールモノエチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールモノプロピルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールモノブチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールモノエチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールモノプロピルエーテル、プロピレングリコールモノブチルエーテル等の多価アルコールのモノエーテル類、あるいはこれらのモノアセテート類;酢酸メチル、酢酸エチル、酢酸ブチル等のエステル類;アセトン、メチルエチルケトン、メチルイソアミルケトン等のケトン類;エチレングリコールジメチルエーテル、エチレングリコールジエチルエーテル、エチレングリコールジプロピルエーテル、エチレングリコールジブチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールジメチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールジエチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールジメチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールジエチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールメチルエチルエーテル等の多価アルコールの水酸基をすべてアルキルエーテル化した多価アルコールエーテル類;等が含まれる。これらは1種単独で含まれてもよく、また2種以上が含まれてもよい。
プライマー層用組成物は、溶媒に、前述の有機金属モノマー、各種添加剤等を添加して混合液とし、これを攪拌して得られる。各成分の添加の順序は特に制限されない。混合液は、例えば、撹拌ミル、ブレード混練撹拌装置、薄膜旋回型分散機などを用いて攪拌する。
プライマー層は、前述のプライマー層用組成物を、前述のLED素子の、少なくともメタル部(メタル配線)2と、パッケージ1に配置されたLEDチップ3の発光面とを覆うように塗布して形成する。塗布の手段は特に制限されず、ブレード塗布、スピンコート塗布、ディスペンサー塗布、スプレー塗布などでありうる。特に、スプレー塗布は薄いプライマー層5を形成しやすいために好ましい。
透光層7は、プライマー層5を介して、少なくともLED素子のLEDチップ3及びメタル部2上に形成されていることが好ましい。透光層7は、メタル部2の腐食を防止する機能、及びLEDチップ3を外部の衝撃等から保護する機能を果たす。
波長変換層8は、LEDチップ3から出射する特定波長の光を、他の特定波長の光に変換する層である。波長変換層8は、透明樹脂中に蛍光体粒子が分散された層でありうる。波長変換層8は、前述の第一のLED装置の波長変換層と同様でありうる。
前述のLED装置には、さらに他の光学部品(レンズなど)が設けられて各種光学部材とされる。特に、本発明のLED装置は、硫化ガス耐性や、耐光性、耐熱性等に優れることから、車輌用の照明や、屋外で使用する照明用途等に好適である。
