When one wavelength conversion member 6 contains only one kind of phosphor, the converted light has the peak wavelength of the phosphor. One wavelength conversion member 6 is not limited to these examples, and may contain a fluorescent substance in various combinations. The color of the light emitted from the wavelength conversion member 6 is determined based on the type of the phosphor contained in the wavelength conversion member 6.

(波長変換部材6の温度)
 波長変換部材6に入射した励起光のエネルギーの一部は、熱エネルギーに変換される。その結果、波長変換部材6の温度が上昇する。波長変換部材6で生じた熱は、発光素子3又は充填部材5を通じて素子基板2に拡散する。
(Temperature of wavelength conversion member 6)
A part of the energy of the excitation light incident on the wavelength conversion member 6 is converted into thermal energy. As a result, the temperature of the wavelength conversion member 6 rises. The heat generated by the wavelength conversion member 6 diffuses to the element substrate 2 through the light emitting element 3 or the filling member 5.
 本実施形態に係る発光装置10において、波長変換部材6は、下面6Aにおいて、発光素子3の上面3Aに直接接着されている。これによって、波長変換部材6で生じた熱は、発光素子3に直接拡散し、発光素子3を通じて素子基板2に拡散し得る。 In the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment, the wavelength conversion member 6 is directly adhered to the upper surface 3A of the light emitting element 3 on the lower surface 6A. As a result, the heat generated by the wavelength conversion member 6 can be directly diffused to the light emitting element 3 and diffused to the element substrate 2 through the light emitting element 3.
 図4に比較例に係る発光装置90が示される。発光装置90は、素子基板2と、発光素子3と、枠体4と、充填部材5と、波長変換部材6とを備える。比較例に係る発光装置90は、充填部材5が発光素子3の上面3Aと波長変換部材6の下面6Aとの間に位置する点において、本実施形態に係る発光装置10と異なる。 FIG. 4 shows a light emitting device 90 according to a comparative example. The light emitting device 90 includes an element substrate 2, a light emitting element 3, a frame body 4, a filling member 5, and a wavelength conversion member 6. The light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example is different from the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment in that the filling member 5 is located between the upper surface 3A of the light emitting element 3 and the lower surface 6A of the wavelength conversion member 6.
 ここで、発光素子3の熱伝導率は、充填部材5の熱伝導率よりも高いとする。比較例に係る発光装置90において、波長変換部材6で生じた熱は、充填部材5を介して素子基板2に拡散する。一方で、本実施形態に係る発光装置10において、波長変換部材6で生じた熱は、発光素子3を介して素子基板2に拡散する。熱伝導率の違いによって、波長変換部材6で生じた熱は、比較例に係る発光装置90よりも本実施形態に係る発光装置10において素子基板2に拡散しやすい。 Here, it is assumed that the thermal conductivity of the light emitting element 3 is higher than the thermal conductivity of the filling member 5. In the light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example, the heat generated in the wavelength conversion member 6 diffuses to the element substrate 2 via the filling member 5. On the other hand, in the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment, the heat generated by the wavelength conversion member 6 diffuses to the element substrate 2 via the light emitting element 3. Due to the difference in thermal conductivity, the heat generated in the wavelength conversion member 6 is more likely to diffuse to the element substrate 2 in the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment than in the light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example.
 また、本実施形態に係る発光装置10における波長変換部材6から素子基板2までの距離は、比較例に係る発光装置90における波長変換部材6から素子基板2までの距離よりも短い。素子基板2までの距離の違いによっても、波長変換部材6で生じた熱は、比較例に係る発光装置90よりも本実施形態に係る発光装置10において素子基板2に拡散しやすい。 Further, the distance from the wavelength conversion member 6 to the element substrate 2 in the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment is shorter than the distance from the wavelength conversion member 6 to the element substrate 2 in the light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example. Even if the distance to the element substrate 2 is different, the heat generated by the wavelength conversion member 6 is more likely to diffuse to the element substrate 2 in the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment than in the light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example.
 以上述べてきたように、本実施形態に係る発光装置10は、比較例に係る発光装置90よりも波長変換部材6で生じた熱を放散しやすい。その結果、本実施形態に係る発光装置10における波長変換部材6の温度は、比較例に係る発光装置90における波長変換部材6の温度よりも低くなる。 As described above, the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment is more likely to dissipate the heat generated by the wavelength conversion member 6 than the light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example. As a result, the temperature of the wavelength conversion member 6 in the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment is lower than the temperature of the wavelength conversion member 6 in the light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example.

 全てのシミュレーション条件において、発光装置10は、実装基板7の上に実装されているとする。素子基板2は、その下面(上面2Aの反対側の面)の少なくとも一部で実装基板7に接触しているとする。実装基板7は、A、B、C及びDの条件においてAl+絶縁、つまりアルミニウムに絶縁処理を施した基板であるとする。実装基板7は、比較例の条件においてLTCC(Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics)基板であるとする。接触とは、必ずしも対象物同士が接着剤等で固定させているわけではなく、少なくとも接していることをいう。このとき、対象物同士は、その一部であれば接着剤等で固定されていてもよい。 Under all simulation conditions, it is assumed that the light emitting device 10 is mounted on the mounting board 7. It is assumed that the element substrate 2 is in contact with the mounting substrate 7 at least a part of its lower surface (the surface opposite to the upper surface 2A). It is assumed that the mounting substrate 7 is Al + insulated under the conditions of A, B, C and D, that is, a substrate in which aluminum is insulated. It is assumed that the mounting substrate 7 is an LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) substrate under the conditions of the comparative example. Contact means that the objects are not necessarily fixed to each other with an adhesive or the like, but are at least in contact with each other. At this time, the objects may be fixed to each other with an adhesive or the like as long as they are a part of the objects.
 図5に、Aのシミュレーション条件に基づいて算出した、本実施形態に係る発光装置10の各構成部の温度分布のシミュレーション結果が示される。一方で、図6に、比較例のシミュレーション条件に基づいて算出した、比較例に係る発光装置90の各構成部の温度分布のシミュレーション結果が示される。図5及び図6において、グレースケールの濃淡の違いが温度の違いを表している。グレースケールで濃く表されているほど、その部分の温度が高いことを表している。発光装置10及び90は、中心軸の周りに軸対称の構成を有すると仮定する。発光装置10及び90は、中心軸を通るXZ平面及びYZ平面それぞれに沿って2方向からの断面が見えるように表されている。 FIG. 5 shows a simulation result of the temperature distribution of each component of the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment, which is calculated based on the simulation condition of A. On the other hand, FIG. 6 shows a simulation result of the temperature distribution of each component of the light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example, which was calculated based on the simulation conditions of the comparative example. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the difference in shade of gray scale represents the difference in temperature. The darker the gray scale, the higher the temperature of that part. It is assumed that the light emitting devices 10 and 90 have an axisymmetric configuration around the central axis. The light emitting devices 10 and 90 are represented so that the cross sections from two directions can be seen along the XZ plane and the YZ plane passing through the central axis.
 図5と図6とを比較すると、本実施形態に係る発光装置10の波長変換部材6の温度は、比較例に係る発光装置90の波長変換部材6の温度よりも低い。シミュレーションによって算出された波長変換部材6の温度は、表1の「蛍光体温度」の行のセルに記載されている。発光装置10の波長変換部材6の温度、及び、発光装置90の波長変換部材6の温度はそれぞれ、115.5℃、及び、249.6℃である。また、本実施形態に係る発光装置10の発光素子3の温度は、比較例に係る発光装置90の発光素子3の温度よりも低い。シミュレーションによって算出された発光素子3の温度は、表1の「チップ温度」の行のセルに記載されている。具体的には、発光装置10の発光素子3の温度、及び、発光装置90の発光素子3の温度はそれぞれ、61.0℃、及び、176.7℃である。発光素子3と波長変換部材6との間に充填部材5が存在しないことは、波長変換部材6から発光素子3へ拡散する熱量を増大させ、本実施形態に係る発光装置10の温度を比較例に係る発光装置90の温度よりも低く抑えることに寄与している。 Comparing FIGS. 5 and 6, the temperature of the wavelength conversion member 6 of the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment is lower than the temperature of the wavelength conversion member 6 of the light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example. The temperature of the wavelength conversion member 6 calculated by the simulation is described in the cell in the row of "Fluorescent temperature" in Table 1. The temperature of the wavelength conversion member 6 of the light emitting device 10 and the temperature of the wavelength conversion member 6 of the light emitting device 90 are 115.5 ° C. and 249.6 ° C., respectively. Further, the temperature of the light emitting element 3 of the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment is lower than the temperature of the light emitting element 3 of the light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example. The temperature of the light emitting element 3 calculated by the simulation is described in the cell of the row of "chip temperature" in Table 1. Specifically, the temperature of the light emitting element 3 of the light emitting device 10 and the temperature of the light emitting element 3 of the light emitting device 90 are 61.0 ° C. and 176.7 ° C., respectively. The absence of the filling member 5 between the light emitting element 3 and the wavelength conversion member 6 increases the amount of heat diffused from the wavelength conversion member 6 to the light emitting element 3, and the temperature of the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment is compared with the comparative example. Contributes to keeping the temperature lower than the temperature of the light emitting device 90 according to the above.
 Bの条件において、発光素子3の温度は、Aの条件よりも更に低くなっている。発光素子3の配置形態が、大きいサイズを1個だけ配置した形態になっていることに起因すると考えられる。 Under the condition B, the temperature of the light emitting element 3 is further lower than the condition A. It is considered that this is because the arrangement form of the light emitting element 3 is such that only one large size is arranged.
 Cの条件において、発光素子3及び波長変換部材6の温度は、Aの条件よりも更に低くなっている。発光素子3の側面3Bに波長変換部材6が位置することによって、波長変換部材6から発光素子3を通じて素子基板2に拡散する熱量が増大したことに起因すると考えられる。 Under the condition C, the temperatures of the light emitting element 3 and the wavelength conversion member 6 are further lower than the condition A. It is considered that the position of the wavelength conversion member 6 on the side surface 3B of the light emitting element 3 increases the amount of heat diffused from the wavelength conversion member 6 to the element substrate 2 through the light emitting element 3.
 Dの条件において、発光素子3及び波長変換部材6の温度は、A~Cの条件より高いものの、比較例の条件よりも低く抑えられている。波長変換部材6を接着剤によって発光素子3に接着していることによって、A~Cの条件よりも、波長変換部材6から発光素子3を通じて素子基板2に拡散する熱量が減少したことに起因すると考えられる。 Under the condition D, the temperatures of the light emitting element 3 and the wavelength conversion member 6 are higher than the conditions A to C, but are suppressed to be lower than the conditions of the comparative example. This is because the amount of heat diffused from the wavelength conversion member 6 to the element substrate 2 through the light emitting element 3 is reduced from the conditions A to C by adhering the wavelength conversion member 6 to the light emitting element 3 with an adhesive. Conceivable.
 以上のことから、本実施形態に係る発光装置10の温度は、比較例に係る発光装置90の温度よりも低く抑えられることが、A~Dのいずれのシミュレーション条件に基づくシミュレーション結果においても確認された。発光素子3と波長変換部材6との間に充填部材5が存在しないことが、発光装置10の温度を低く抑えることに大きく寄与することがシミュレーション結果によっても明らかにされた。よって、発光素子3と波長変換部材6の間に接着剤が存在しないことにより、より発光装置10の放熱性を向上させることができる。 From the above, it was confirmed in the simulation results based on any of the simulation conditions A to D that the temperature of the light emitting device 10 according to the present embodiment can be suppressed to be lower than the temperature of the light emitting device 90 according to the comparative example. rice field. The simulation results also revealed that the absence of the filling member 5 between the light emitting element 3 and the wavelength conversion member 6 greatly contributes to keeping the temperature of the light emitting device 10 low. Therefore, since there is no adhesive between the light emitting element 3 and the wavelength conversion member 6, the heat dissipation of the light emitting device 10 can be further improved.
(発光装置10の他の構成例)
 上述のシミュレーション条件のうち、発光素子3の側面3Bに波長変換部材6が位置するCの条件に対応する構成の具体例が図7に示される。樹脂シートとして構成される波長変換部材6は、第1樹脂シート66と、第2樹脂シート67とを含んで構成される。第1樹脂シート66と第2樹脂シート67とは、積層している。第1樹脂シート66は、発光素子3の上面3Aの全体よりも大きく広がる。第1樹脂シート66は、下面6Aを有し、下面6Aで発光素子3の上面3Aに接着される。発光素子3の上面3Aから射出された励起光は、第1樹脂シート66に入射する。第1樹脂シート66に入射した励起光の少なくとも一部は、他の波長の光に変換される。他の一部は、第1樹脂シート66で熱に変換され、第1樹脂シート66の温度を上昇させる。第1樹脂シート66で生じた熱の少なくとも一部は、発光素子3を通って素子基板2に拡散する。
(Other configuration examples of the light emitting device 10)
Among the above simulation conditions, FIG. 7 shows a specific example of the configuration corresponding to the condition C in which the wavelength conversion member 6 is located on the side surface 3B of the light emitting element 3. The wavelength conversion member 6 configured as a resin sheet includes a first resin sheet 66 and a second resin sheet 67. The first resin sheet 66 and the second resin sheet 67 are laminated. The first resin sheet 66 is wider than the entire upper surface 3A of the light emitting element 3. The first resin sheet 66 has a lower surface 6A, and is adhered to the upper surface 3A of the light emitting element 3 at the lower surface 6A. The excitation light emitted from the upper surface 3A of the light emitting element 3 is incident on the first resin sheet 66. At least a part of the excitation light incident on the first resin sheet 66 is converted into light of another wavelength. The other part is converted into heat by the first resin sheet 66, and raises the temperature of the first resin sheet 66. At least a part of the heat generated in the first resin sheet 66 is diffused to the element substrate 2 through the light emitting element 3.
 第2樹脂シート67は、素子基板2をZ軸の正の方向から見た平面視において、発光素子3の上面3Aと重ならないように位置する。第2樹脂シート67は、下面6Bを有し、下面6Bの少なくとも一部で素子基板2の上面2Aに接触している。第2樹脂シート67は、下面6Bで素子基板2の上面2Aに接着されていてもよい。第1樹脂シート66で生じた熱の一部は、第2樹脂シート67に拡散し、第2樹脂シート67を通じて素子基板2に拡散する。第2樹脂シート67が素子基板2に接触していることによって、第1樹脂シート66で生じた熱は、素子基板2に拡散しやすくなる。その結果、第1樹脂シート66、及び、発光装置10の他の構成部の温度が低く抑えられる。 The second resin sheet 67 is positioned so as not to overlap the upper surface 3A of the light emitting element 3 in a plan view of the element substrate 2 when viewed from the positive direction of the Z axis. The second resin sheet 67 has a lower surface 6B, and at least a part of the lower surface 6B is in contact with the upper surface 2A of the element substrate 2. The second resin sheet 67 may be adhered to the upper surface 2A of the element substrate 2 on the lower surface 6B. A part of the heat generated in the first resin sheet 66 diffuses into the second resin sheet 67 and diffuses into the element substrate 2 through the second resin sheet 67. When the second resin sheet 67 is in contact with the element substrate 2, the heat generated by the first resin sheet 66 is likely to be diffused to the element substrate 2. As a result, the temperatures of the first resin sheet 66 and the other components of the light emitting device 10 are kept low.
 波長変換部材6を構成する樹脂シートは、平面視において、発光素子3に重なる第1領域と、発光素子3に重ならない第2領域を有するともいえる。第1樹脂シート66は、第1領域と第2領域とにまたがって位置する。第2樹脂シート67は、第2領域に位置する。樹脂シートは、第2領域に位置した少なくとも一部が素子基板2に接着されていてもよい。樹脂シートの一部が素子基板2に接着されていることで、樹脂シートから素子基板2に直接放熱できるため、発光装置10の放熱性が向上する。なお、接着とは、接着剤等を介して対象物同士が固定されている状態をいう。 It can be said that the resin sheet constituting the wavelength conversion member 6 has a first region overlapping the light emitting element 3 and a second region not overlapping the light emitting element 3 in a plan view. The first resin sheet 66 is located so as to straddle the first region and the second region. The second resin sheet 67 is located in the second region. At least a part of the resin sheet located in the second region may be adhered to the element substrate 2. Since a part of the resin sheet is adhered to the element substrate 2, heat can be directly dissipated from the resin sheet to the element substrate 2, so that the heat dissipation of the light emitting device 10 is improved. In addition, "adhesion" means a state in which objects are fixed to each other via an adhesive or the like.
 第2樹脂シート67は、発光素子3の側面3Bの少なくとも一部と接触してもよい。第2樹脂シート67は、発光素子3の側面3Bに接着されていてもよい。発光素子3が側面3Bからも励起光を射出する場合、励起光は第2樹脂シート67にも入射しやすくなり、第2樹脂シート67でも他の波長の光に変換される。その結果、励起光の変換効率が高まり得る。 The second resin sheet 67 may come into contact with at least a part of the side surface 3B of the light emitting element 3. The second resin sheet 67 may be adhered to the side surface 3B of the light emitting element 3. When the light emitting element 3 also emits the excitation light from the side surface 3B, the excitation light is likely to be incident on the second resin sheet 67, and the second resin sheet 67 is also converted into light having another wavelength. As a result, the conversion efficiency of the excitation light can be increased.
 第1樹脂シート66の厚みと第2樹脂シート67の厚みとは、両方とも同じであってよいし、異なっていてもよい。第2樹脂シート67の厚みは、発光素子3の厚みと同じであってもよいし異なっていてもよい。 The thickness of the first resin sheet 66 and the thickness of the second resin sheet 67 may both be the same or different. The thickness of the second resin sheet 67 may be the same as or different from the thickness of the light emitting element 3.
 平面視において、第1樹脂シート66と第2樹脂シート67とは互いに重ならないように構成されてよい。具体的には、第1樹脂シート66は、発光素子3に重なる範囲にだけ位置する形状で構成されてよい。第2樹脂シート67は、発光素子3に重ならない範囲にだけ位置する形状で構成されてよい。第2樹脂シート67の厚みが発光素子3の厚みよりも大きい場合、第1樹脂シート66の側面と第2樹脂シート67の側面とが互いに接触することによって、発光素子3は、第1樹脂シート66と第2樹脂シート67とを合わせた構成によって覆われる。 In a plan view, the first resin sheet 66 and the second resin sheet 67 may be configured so as not to overlap each other. Specifically, the first resin sheet 66 may be configured in a shape located only in a range overlapping the light emitting element 3. The second resin sheet 67 may be configured in a shape that is located only in a range that does not overlap with the light emitting element 3. When the thickness of the second resin sheet 67 is larger than the thickness of the light emitting element 3, the side surface of the first resin sheet 66 and the side surface of the second resin sheet 67 come into contact with each other, so that the light emitting element 3 is the first resin sheet. It is covered by the combined configuration of 66 and the second resin sheet 67.
 図8に、発光素子3の側面3Bに波長変換部材6が位置する構成の他の例が示される。波長変換部材6は、1枚の第3樹脂シート68として構成される。第3樹脂シート68は、発光素子3の上面3Aと、素子基板2の上面2Aの平面視において発光素子3と重なっていない部分の少なくとも一部とを覆う。第3樹脂シート68は、平面視において発光素子3と重なる下面6Aと、平面視において発光素子3と重ならない下面6Bとを有する。第3樹脂シート68は、下面6Aで発光素子3の上面3Aに接着され、下面6Bで素子基板2の上面2Aに接着されている。このようにすることで、波長変換部材6が1枚の第3樹脂シート68で構成される簡易な構成であっても、発光装置10は、波長変換部材6で生じた熱が素子基板2に拡散しやすくなるように構成され得る。 FIG. 8 shows another example of the configuration in which the wavelength conversion member 6 is located on the side surface 3B of the light emitting element 3. The wavelength conversion member 6 is configured as one third resin sheet 68. The third resin sheet 68 covers at least a part of the upper surface 3A of the light emitting element 3 and the portion of the upper surface 2A of the element substrate 2 that does not overlap with the light emitting element 3 in a plan view. The third resin sheet 68 has a lower surface 6A that overlaps with the light emitting element 3 in a plan view and a lower surface 6B that does not overlap with the light emitting element 3 in a plan view. The third resin sheet 68 is adhered to the upper surface 3A of the light emitting element 3 on the lower surface 6A, and is adhered to the upper surface 2A of the element substrate 2 on the lower surface 6B. By doing so, even if the wavelength conversion member 6 has a simple configuration composed of one third resin sheet 68, in the light emitting device 10, the heat generated by the wavelength conversion member 6 is transferred to the element substrate 2. It can be configured to facilitate diffusion.
 第3樹脂シート68は、平面視において、発光素子3に重なる第1領域と、発光素子3に重ならない第2領域とを両方とも有する。第3樹脂シート68は、第1領域に対応する第1部分681と、第2領域に対応する第2部分682とを有する。また、第3樹脂シート68は、第1領域に対応する第1部分681と第2領域に対応する第2部分682との間に位置する第3部分683を更に有してよい。第3部分683は、発光装置10の断面視において、第1部分681から第2部分682に向かって低くなるように傾斜する。第3部分683は、傾斜領域とも称される。発光装置10の断面視は、YZ平面で発光装置10を切った断面をX軸の正の方向から観察することを意味する。 The third resin sheet 68 has both a first region that overlaps the light emitting element 3 and a second region that does not overlap the light emitting element 3 in a plan view. The third resin sheet 68 has a first portion 681 corresponding to the first region and a second portion 682 corresponding to the second region. Further, the third resin sheet 68 may further have a third portion 683 located between the first portion 681 corresponding to the first region and the second portion 682 corresponding to the second region. The third portion 683 is inclined so as to be lower toward the second portion 682 from the first portion 681 in the cross-sectional view of the light emitting device 10. The third portion 683 is also referred to as an inclined region. The cross-sectional view of the light emitting device 10 means that the cross section of the light emitting device 10 cut in the YZ plane is observed from the positive direction of the X axis.
 第3樹脂シート68は、第3部分683において発光素子3の側面3Bの少なくとも一部と接触してもよい。第3樹脂シート68は、第3部分683において発光素子3の側面3Bに接着されていてもよい。発光素子3が側面3Bからも励起光を射出する場合、励起光は第3部分683及び第2部分682にも入射しやすくなり、第3部分683及び第2部分682においても他の波長の光に変換される。その結果、励起光の変換効率が高まり得る。 The third resin sheet 68 may come into contact with at least a part of the side surface 3B of the light emitting element 3 in the third portion 683. The third resin sheet 68 may be adhered to the side surface 3B of the light emitting element 3 in the third portion 683. When the light emitting element 3 also emits the excitation light from the side surface 3B, the excitation light is likely to be incident on the third portion 683 and the second portion 682, and the light of other wavelengths is also easily incident on the third portion 683 and the second portion 682. Is converted to. As a result, the conversion efficiency of the excitation light can be increased.
 図9に示されるように、樹脂シートとして構成される波長変換部材6は、素子基板2の平面視において発光素子3に重ならない上面に、発光素子3と重なる部分から離れるほど低くなるように傾斜した上面を有してもよい。傾斜した上面は、傾斜面6Cと表されるとする。波長変換部材6の上面のうち平面視で発光素子3に重なる部分は第3上面6Dとも称される。傾斜面6Cの部分は、第4上面6Cとも称される。言い換えれば、第3上面6Dは、樹脂シートとして構成される波長変換部材6の平面視において発光素子3に重なる部分の上側に位置し、発光素子3の上面3Aに沿って広がる。第4上面6Cは、第3上面6Dに交差し、発光素子3に重なる部分から離れるほど低くなるように傾斜している。また、平面視において波長変換部材6の端部は、波長変換部材6の中心よりも薄くなっているといえる。波長変換部材6は、端部に傾斜面6Cを有する場合、傾斜面6Cを有しない場合と比べて、広い角度で光を射出できる。つまり、波長変換部材6の配光角度が広くなる。 As shown in FIG. 9, the wavelength conversion member 6 configured as a resin sheet is inclined so as to be lowered toward the upper surface that does not overlap with the light emitting element 3 in the plan view of the element substrate 2 as the distance from the portion overlapping with the light emitting element 3 increases. It may have an upper surface. The inclined upper surface is represented as an inclined surface 6C. The portion of the upper surface of the wavelength conversion member 6 that overlaps the light emitting element 3 in a plan view is also referred to as a third upper surface 6D. The portion of the inclined surface 6C is also referred to as a fourth upper surface 6C. In other words, the third upper surface 6D is located above the portion overlapping the light emitting element 3 in the plan view of the wavelength conversion member 6 configured as the resin sheet, and extends along the upper surface 3A of the light emitting element 3. The fourth upper surface 6C intersects the third upper surface 6D and is inclined so as to be lower as the distance from the portion overlapping the light emitting element 3 increases. Further, it can be said that the end portion of the wavelength conversion member 6 is thinner than the center of the wavelength conversion member 6 in a plan view. When the wavelength conversion member 6 has the inclined surface 6C at the end, the light can be emitted at a wider angle as compared with the case where the inclined surface 6C is not provided. That is, the light distribution angle of the wavelength conversion member 6 becomes wide.
(照明装置20の構成例)
 一実施形態に係る照明装置20は、少なくとも1つの発光装置10を備え、発光装置10が射出する光を照明光として射出する。照明装置20は、複数の発光装置10を備える場合、各発光装置10が射出する光の強度を独立に制御してもよいし、関連づけて制御してもよい。各発光装置10が射出する光のスペクトルは、同じであってもよいし、互いに異なっていてもよい。照明装置20は、各発光装置10が射出する光の強度を関連づけて制御することによって、各発光装置10が射出する光を合成した光のスペクトルを制御してもよい。各発光装置10が射出する光を合成した光は、合成光とも称される。照明装置20は、合成光を照明光として射出してもよい。照明装置20は、複数の発光装置10の少なくとも一部を選択して照明光を射出させてもよい。
(Configuration example of lighting device 20)
The lighting device 20 according to one embodiment includes at least one light emitting device 10, and emits light emitted by the light emitting device 10 as illumination light. When the lighting device 20 includes a plurality of light emitting devices 10, the intensity of the light emitted by each light emitting device 10 may be controlled independently or may be controlled in association with each other. The spectra of the light emitted by each light emitting device 10 may be the same or different from each other. The lighting device 20 may control the spectrum of the combined light emitted by each light emitting device 10 by controlling the intensity of the light emitted by each light emitting device 10 in association with each other. The light obtained by synthesizing the light emitted by each light emitting device 10 is also referred to as synthetic light. The lighting device 20 may emit synthetic light as illumination light. The lighting device 20 may select at least a part of the plurality of light emitting devices 10 to emit the lighting light.
 図10に示されるように、照明装置20は、発光装置10が実装された実装板25をさらに備えてよい。照明装置20は、実装板25を収容する溝状の部分を有する筐体26と、筐体26の短辺側の端部を塞ぐ一対の端板27とをさらに備えてよい。実装板25に実装されている発光装置10の数は、1つであってもよいし、2つ以上であってもよい。発光装置10は、実装板25において、一列に並ぶように実装されてもよいし、格子状又は千鳥格子状に並ぶように実装されてもよい。発光装置10は、これらのパターンに限られず、種々の配列パターンで実装板25に実装されてよい。 As shown in FIG. 10, the lighting device 20 may further include a mounting plate 25 on which the light emitting device 10 is mounted. The lighting device 20 may further include a housing 26 having a groove-shaped portion for accommodating the mounting plate 25, and a pair of end plates 27 for closing the short side end portion of the housing 26. The number of light emitting devices 10 mounted on the mounting plate 25 may be one or two or more. The light emitting device 10 may be mounted on the mounting plate 25 so as to be lined up in a row, or may be mounted so as to be lined up in a grid pattern or a houndstooth pattern. The light emitting device 10 is not limited to these patterns, and may be mounted on the mounting plate 25 in various arrangement patterns.
 実装板25は、配線パターンを有する回路基板を含んでもよい。回路基板は、例えば、リジッド基板、フレキシブル基板又はリジッドフレキシブル基板等のプリント基板を含んでよい。回路基板は、発光装置10を制御する駆動回路を含んでもよい。 The mounting plate 25 may include a circuit board having a wiring pattern. The circuit board may include, for example, a printed circuit board such as a rigid board, a flexible board, or a rigid flexible board. The circuit board may include a drive circuit that controls the light emitting device 10.
 実装板25は、発光装置10が発する熱を外部に放散させる機能を有している。実装板25は、例えば、アルミニウム、銅若しくはステンレス鋼等の金属材料、有機樹脂材料、又はこれらを含む複合材料等で構成されてよい。 The mounting plate 25 has a function of dissipating the heat generated by the light emitting device 10 to the outside. The mounting plate 25 may be made of, for example, a metal material such as aluminum, copper or stainless steel, an organic resin material, or a composite material containing these.
 実装板25は、平面視において細長い長方形状を有してよい。実装板25の形状は、これに限られず他の種々の形状であってもよい。 The mounting plate 25 may have an elongated rectangular shape in a plan view. The shape of the mounting plate 25 is not limited to this, and may be various other shapes.
 照明装置20は、筐体26の内部に収容されている実装板25及び発光装置10を封止する蓋部28をさらに備えてよい。蓋部28は、透光性を有する材料で構成されることによって、発光装置10が射出する照明光を照明装置20の外部に透過してよい。蓋部28は、例えば、アクリル樹脂等の樹脂材料又はガラス等によって構成されてよい。蓋部28は、平面視において細長い長方形状を有してよい。蓋部28の形状は、これに限られず他の種々の形状であってもよい。照明装置20は、蓋部28と筐体26との間にシーリング部材をさらに備えてもよい。このようにすることで、筐体26の内部に水又は塵埃等が侵入しにくくなる。その結果、照明装置20が設置される環境にかかわらず、照明装置20の信頼性が向上しうる。照明装置20は、筐体26の内部に吸湿剤をさらに備えてもよい。 The lighting device 20 may further include a mounting plate 25 housed inside the housing 26 and a lid portion 28 for sealing the light emitting device 10. Since the lid portion 28 is made of a translucent material, the illumination light emitted by the light emitting device 10 may be transmitted to the outside of the illumination device 20. The lid portion 28 may be made of, for example, a resin material such as acrylic resin or glass. The lid portion 28 may have an elongated rectangular shape in a plan view. The shape of the lid portion 28 is not limited to this, and may be various other shapes. The illuminating device 20 may further include a sealing member between the lid 28 and the housing 26. By doing so, it becomes difficult for water, dust, or the like to enter the inside of the housing 26.
