  • the uniformity of the irradiation intensity distribution of the emitted ultraviolet light refers to the variation in irradiation intensity within the effective irradiation area.
  • the efficiency of the emitted ultraviolet light gradually decreases. This is because vignetting is generated by the lens 113 and the lens 115 due to an increase in the length of the light emitting surface of the LED die 111a (that is, a part of the ultraviolet light emitted from the light emitting surface is generated in the lens 113 and the lens 115). Because it will not be captured). Therefore, when the efficiency ⁇ 75% is set as the target value, when the lens 113 and the lens 115 of the present embodiment are used, the length of the light emitting surface of the LED die 111a is preferably 5.8 mm or less.
  • the length of the light emitting surface (light emitting length) of the LED die 111a increases, the length of the effective irradiation area (effective irradiation area length) gradually decreases. This is because as the emission length increases, the peak intensity increases because the overlap of ultraviolet light increases at the center of the effective irradiation area length, but the irradiation intensity on both ends of the effective irradiation area length decreases relatively. It is. Therefore, when the effective irradiation area length ⁇ 70 mm is a target value, the length of the light emitting surface of the LED die 111a is preferably 5.8 mm or less.
  • the peak intensity of the emitted ultraviolet light gradually increases as the length of the light emitting surface (light emission length) of the LED die 111a increases. This is because the length of the ultraviolet light irradiated from each LED die 111a on the irradiation surface R is increased, and the length of the ultraviolet light superimposed in the X-axis direction is thereby increased. Therefore, when the peak value of ultraviolet light ⁇ 600 mW is set as a target value, the length of the light emitting surface of the LED die 111a is preferably set to 4.2 mm or more.
  • the uniformity of the emitted ultraviolet light changes according to the length (light emission length) of the light emitting surface of the LED die 111a.
