BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to a light-emitting device. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED TECHNIQUE
[002] In recent years, various electronic components have been proposed and put into practical use, and it is desired that they perform better. In particular, some electronic components need to maintain their performance for a long period under a rigorous operating environment. This is also required for light-emitting devices that use semiconductor light-emitting elements, including a light-emitting diode (LED). In other words, in the fields of general lighting and vehicle-mounted lighting, it has been increasingly required that light-emitting devices exhibit greater performance, specifically, greater production (greater brightness) and greater reliability. In particular, it is necessary for light-emitting devices that exhibit high output to operate at a high operating temperature. In the fields of light sources for backlights, lighting apparatus and the like, adequate light scattering properties have also been required. In view of improving the light diffusing property of a light emitting device, a method of mixing a light diffusing agent into a sealing resin is known.
[003] For example, JP 2007-266356 A discloses that a light scattering member is disposed on an upper surface of a light emitting element to suppress uneven light radiation intensity. JP 2007-266356 A also discloses a configuration including a wavelength converting material.
[004] However, in a light-emitting device that includes a coating resin in which a wavelength-converting material is contained in addition to a light-scattering material, a change in emission color may occur corresponding to a change in temperature. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[005] Consequently, an object of certain embodiments of the present invention is to provide a light emitting device that has little change in emission color relative to a change in temperature.
[006] A light emitting device in accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention includes a light emitting element, a covering resin covering the light emitting element, a wavelength converting material contained in the covering resin, and a light scattering agent contained in the coating resin.
[007] The light diffusing agent contains glass particles.
[008] At a peak wavelength of the light emitting element, and at 25 °C, the coating resin has a first n1 refraction index of 1.48 to 1.60, at a wavelength of peak of the light emitting element, and at 100 °C, the coating resin has a second refractive index n2 which is at least 0.0075 less than the first refractive index n1, and at a peak wavelength of the light emitting element, and at 25 °C, the light diffusing agent has a third refractive index n3 which is greater than the first refractive index n1.
[009] In accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention, a light emitting device that has little change in emission color relative to a change in temperature can be provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] Figures 1A and 1B are schematic structural diagrams showing an example of a light emitting device according to a first embodiment, in which Figure 1A is a schematic top view and Figure 1B is a cross-sectional view schematic taken along line II of Figure 1A. Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating changes in the refractive indices of a coating resin, a light scattering agent and light scattering particles according to changes in temperature. It should be noted that light scattering particles are used in a second modality to be described below.
[0030] A light emitting device 100 according to the first embodiment includes a light emitting element 14, a covering resin 19 and a light diffusing agent 17.
[0031] The light emitting element 14 is mounted in a flip chip fashion by means of connecting members 13 on a pair of conductive wirings 12 disposed on a surface of a base substrate 11. A large portion of the conductive wirings 12 is covered by an insulating member 15, but an upper surface region of each conductive wiring 12 that is electrically connected to the light-emitting element 14 is exposed outside of the insulating member 15. A lower pad 16 is disposed under the light-emitting element 14 (or that is, disposed between the light-emitting element 14 and the base substrate 11) and on the side surfaces of the light-emitting element 14.
[0032] The covering resin 19 containing the light diffusing agent 17 is disposed on the light emitting element 14 (on a light extracting surface side).
Covering resin 19 has a refractive index that is lower at 100 °C than at 25 °C. Therefore, a difference in refractive index between coating resin 19 and air is less at 100 °C than at 25 °C. Consequently, the amounts of light emitted from the light emitting element 14 that are reflected by the surface or fully reflected in an interface between the coating resin 19 and the air are less at 100 °C than at 25 °C. As a result, at 100°C, the amount of light that remains within the coating resin 19 and is diffused by the light-scattering agent 17 is reduced.
[0034] For this reason, in order to reduce a change in light distribution characteristics, the smaller a difference in refractive index of coating resin 19 between 25 °C and 100 °C is more preferred. However, according to certain embodiments of the present invention, the change in the light distribution characteristics of the light emitting device due to a change in temperature can be reduced even when using a material having a refractive index of 0. 0075 or less at 100 °C than at 25 °C for capping resin 19.
[0035] The coating resin 19 contains the light diffusing agent 17 which has a refractive index equal to or greater than the refractive index of the coating resin 19 at 25 °C.
[0036] The difference in refractive index between the coating resin 19 and the light diffusing agent 17 at 100 °C may be greater than at 25 °C with the use of a material of the light diffusing agent 17 that has a refractive index temperature coefficient less than the refractive index temperature coefficient of the coating resin. Consequently, a ratio between the light that is emitted from the light emitting element 14 and is diffused and reflected at the interface between the coating resin 19 and the light diffusing agent 17 may have a greater increase at 100°C than at 25° Ç.
[0037] The amount of light that is reflected by the surface or fully reflected at the interface between the coating resin 19 and the air decreases with increasing temperature. However, with this arrangement, the amount of light that is reflected at the interface between the coating resin 19 and the light diffusing agent 17, so that the amount of light that is scattered in the coating resin 19 can become substantially constant, even let the temperature change. In this way, a change in light distribution characteristics due to a change in temperature can be reduced.
[0038] Meanwhile, an excessively large difference in the refractive index between the light diffusing agent 17 and the coating resin 19 at 25 °C can reduce a relative change in the refractive index due to a difference in temperature, which can lead to a reduction in the rate of increase in an amount of light that is scattered due to the rise in temperature, so that the effect of compensating for the amount of light that is scattered can hardly be obtained. Therefore, the refractive index of the light-scattering agent 17 at 25°C is preferably equal to or greater than that of the coating resin 19 in a range of 0 to 0.15, more preferably in a range of 0 to 0.1, and even more preferably in a range of 0 to 0.05.
[0039] An appropriate difference in the refractive index of the coating resin 19 between 25 °C and 100 °C may vary, but the refractive index of the coating resin 19 at 100 °C is preferably less than the of the coating resin 19 at 25°C for a range of 0.0075 to 0.075. Setting the difference in refractive index of the coating resin 19 between 25 °C and 100 °C within this range can facilitate control of light that is scattered.
[0040] The coating resin 19 preferably has a higher refractive index due to the fact that the higher the refractive index of the coating resin 19, the smaller a difference in refractive index between the coating resin. covering 19 and the light emitting element 14, which allows to improve the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting element 14. Thus, the covering resin 19 with an appropriate refractive index at 25°C can be employed, but a refractive index of 1.45 or more is preferred, and 1.5 or more is more preferred.
[0041] In case the temperature coefficient of the light diffusing agent 17 is lower than the temperature coefficient of the coating resin 19, the difference in the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17 between 25°C and 100° C is less than a difference in refractive index of coating resin 19 between 25 °C and 100 °C.
[0042] As described above, in the light emitting device 100 of the first embodiment, the light diffusing agent 17 is included in the coating resin 19 so that the temperature dependence of the light distribution characteristics can be reduced, even if the index The refraction of the coating resin 19 changes depending on the temperature. SECOND MODE
[0043] Figures 3A and 3B are schematic configuration diagrams showing an example of a light emitting device in a second embodiment. Figure 3A is a schematic top view of the light emitting device, and Figure 3B is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line I-I of Figure 3A. Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating refractive indices of the coating resin, the light scattering agent and the light scattering particles according to changes in temperatures. The present embodiment differs from the light emitting device 100 of the first embodiment in that the coating resin 19 contains light scattering particles 18, in addition to the light diffusing agent 17. The present embodiment includes substantially the same configuration as disclosed in the first embodiment, except for the configuration as described above.
[0044] A light emitting device 200 according to a second embodiment includes a light emitting element 14, a coating resin 19, a light diffusing agent 17 and light scattering particles 18.
[0045] The covering resin 19 containing the light-diffusing agent 17 and the light-scattering particles 18 is formed in the light-emitting element 14 (on the light-extracting surface side of the light-emitting element 14).
The coating resin 19 contains the light scattering particles 18 which have a refractive index equal to or greater than the refractive index of the coating resin 19 at 100°C. Since the temperature coefficient of the refractive index of the light scattering particles 18 is less than that of the coating resin 19, a difference in refractive index between the coating resin 19 and the light scattering particles 18 at 25°C is greater than at 100 °C. In this way, the light emitted from the light emitting element 14 is diffused at the interface between the coating resin 19 and the light-scattering particles 18 in an amount greater at 25°C than at 100°C. That is, containing the light scattering particles 18 can increase the light scattering property at 25 °C compared to that at 100 °C.
[0047] With this arrangement, even in the case of increasing the light distribution angle by increasing the light scattering at 100 °C which must be achieved by increasing the concentration of the light diffusing agent 17 in the coating resin 19, light scattering can also be increased to 25 °C so that light scattering can be easily controlled.
[0048] That is, the difference in refractive index between the coating resin 19 and the light scattering agent 17 and the difference in refractive index between the coating resin 19 and the light scattering particles 18 compensate for each other, which allows for a reduction in the temperature dependence of the light distribution property, even though the refractive index of the coating resin 19 changes with temperature.
[0049] It should be noted that an excessively large difference in refractive index between the light diffusing agent 17 and the coating resin 19 at 25 °C may result in a small relative change in refractive index that corresponds to the difference in temperature, which can reduce the rate of increase in an amount of light that is scattered due to the rise in temperature. In the case of containing the light-scattering particles 18, the light-scattering agent 17 of an appropriate refractive index at 25°C may be employed, but a refractive index that is equal to or greater than that of the coating resin 19 a range of 0 to 0.15 is preferred, and a range of 0 to 0.1 is more preferred, and a range of 0 to 0.05 is even more preferred.
[0050] Meanwhile, an excessively large difference in the refractive index between the light scattering particles 18 and the coating resin 19 at 100 °C can result in a small relative change in the refractive index that corresponds to the difference in temperature, which can reduce the rate of increase in an amount of light that is scattered due to the rise in temperature. Therefore, light scattering particles 18 of an appropriate refractive index at 100°C can be employed, but a refractive index that is equal to or less than that of the coating resin 19 by a range of 0 to 0.1 is preferred. .
[0051] The difference between the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the refractive index of air at 100 °C is less than at 25 °C. Thus, the difference in refractive index between the coating resin 19 and the light scattering agent 17 at 100°C is preferably greater than between the coating resin 19 and the light scattering particles 18 at 25°C due to the fact that the change in light distribution characteristics corresponding to the change in temperature can be reduced.
[0052] In case the temperature coefficient of the refractive index of the light scattering particles 18 is lower than that of the coating resin 19, a difference in the refractive index of the light scattering particles 18 between 25 ° C and 100°C is less than a difference in the refractive index of coating resin 19 between 25°C and 100°C.
[0053] As described above, in the light emitting device 200 of the second mode, the light diffusing agent 17 and the light scattering particles 18 are included in the coating resin 19, which allows a reduction in temperature dependence of characteristics of light distribution, even though the refractive index of the coating resin 19 changes with temperature.
[0054] In this specification, the refractive index measurement wavelength is set to a D line (589 nm), unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, in this descriptive report, the term "difference in refractive index" is represented as an absolute value, unless otherwise specified.
[0055] The refractive index can be measured, for example, with an Abbe refractometer. In case the reflective index of a component cannot be measured with the Abbe refractometer due to the size or similar of the component, the component is specified, and a refractive index of a material similar to the specified component is measured. Then, the refractive index of the specified component can be deduced from the measurement result of the similar material.
[0056] The preferred configurations of the light emitting devices according to the first and second modalities described above and components of the third to seventh modalities to be described below will be described below. BASE 11 SUBSTRATE
[0057] The base substrate serves to mount the light-emitting element thereon. The base substrate includes conductive wiring, which serves to supply electrical power to the light-emitting element, on a surface of the base substrate.
[0058] Examples of a base substrate material include resins such as a phenol resin, an epoxy resin, a polyamide resin, a polyimide resin, a BT resin, polyphthalamide (PPA), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and ceramics. Among these, a resin is preferably selected as an insulating material in terms of low cost and ease of molding. In order to obtain the light emitting device with good heat resistance and good light resistance, ceramic is preferably selected as the material for the base substrate.
[0059] Examples of ceramic materials include alumina, mullite, forsterite, glass ceramic, nitride-based materials (eg AlN), and carbide-based materials (eg SiC). Among these, ceramics made from alumina, or containing alumina as a major component, are preferred.
[0060] In the case of using a resin as the material for the base 11 substrate, an inorganic filler such as fiberglass, SiO2, TiO2 or Al2O3 is mixed into the resin to improve mechanical strength, to reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion, to improve the optical reflectivity, and thus strength, of the base substrate 11. The base substrate insulatingly separates a pair of conducting wires, and a so-called metal substrate, which is made up of one member. metal with an insulating layer disposed on it, can be used as the base substrate. CONDUCTIVE WIRING 12
[0061] The conductive wirings are components electrically connected to the respective electrodes of the light-emitting element, and serve to supply current (power) external to the light-emitting element. That is, the conducting wires serve as electrodes, or as part of the electrodes, to supply external electrical power, and are generally arranged separated from each other as at least two electrodes between a positive electrode and a negative electrode.
[0062] Each conductive wiring is formed on at least one upper surface of the base substrate that serves as a mounting surface of the light-emitting element. A material for the conductive wiring may be selected as appropriate, according to the material of the base substrate, and the manufacturing method or the like. For example, in the case of using ceramic as a base substrate material 11, a material for the conductive spinning preferably has a high melting point to resist the sintering temperature of a ceramic sheet, so that a high melting point metal such as tungsten or molybdenum is preferably used for conductive wiring. Additionally, other metallic materials, such as nickel, gold and/or silver, can be arranged to cover the conductive wiring with the use of plating, ion bombardment, vapor deposition, etc.
[0063] In the case of using a glass epoxy resin (fiberglass-filled epoxy resin) as a base substrate material, an easily processable material is preferred for conductive wiring, and, for example, copper can be used . In case of using an injection molded epoxy resin as the material for the base substrate, the material for the conductive wiring is preferably a material for which processes such as perforation, roughing, bending etc. they can be easily executed, and they have a relatively high mechanical strength, and in that case, for example, copper can also be used as the material for the conductive wiring. Specific examples of conductive wiring may include a layer of metal or a conductor made of a metal, such as copper, aluminum, gold, silver, tungsten, iron or nickel, or alloy iron-nickel, phosphorus, bronze, copper that contains iron, or molybdenum. The surface of the conductive wiring can additionally be covered with a metal material which can be appropriately selected. For example, silver can be used alone, or an alloy of silver with copper, gold, aluminum and/or rhodium can be used. Alternatively, the materials can be applied as a multi-layered film of silver and/or alloys described above.
[0064] Examples of methods for disposing the metal material include ion bombardment, vapor deposition and the like, in addition to plating. LINK MEMBER 13
[0065] A connecting member serves to affix the light-emitting element to the base substrate or conductive wiring. For the bonding member, an insulating resin or a conductive member can be used. In flip-chip mounting, a lead member is used as the linking member. Specific examples of binding member material include an alloy that contains Au, an alloy that contains Ag, an alloy that contains Pd, an alloy that contains In, an alloy that contains Pb-Pd, an alloy that contains Au-Ga, an alloy containing Au-Sn, an alloy containing Sn, an alloy containing Sn-Cu, an alloy containing Sn-Cu-Ag, an alloy containing Au-Ge, an alloy containing Au-Si, an alloy that contains Al, an alloy that contains Cu-In and a mixture of metal and fluid.
[0066] The binding member can be applied in a liquid form, a paste form or a solid form (eg a sheet form, a block form, a powder form or a wire form), which can be appropriately selected according to the composition of the binding member, the shape of the base substrate and the like. The binding member can be formed from a single member or a combination of various types of members or shapes mentioned above. INSULATING MEMBER 15
[0067] The conductive wirings are preferably covered by an insulating member, except for a portion to be electrically connected to the light-emitting element and other elements. That is, an insulation resistor and a covering of the conducting wires can be arranged on the base substrate. The insulating member can serve as a resistance.
[0068] In the case of arrangement of the insulating member, in addition to the purpose of insulating the conductive wiring, for the purpose of improving the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device, a white charge such as used in a lower filler material to be described below, may be contained in the insulating member to reduce leakage or light absorption.
[0069] For the insulating member, an insulating material that absorbs little light that is emitted from the light emitting element can be appropriately selected. Examples of the insulating member material include an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, a modified silicone resin, a urethane resin, an oxetane resin, an acrylic resin, a polycarbonate resin, and a polyimide resin. LIGHT EMITTING ELEMENT 14
[0070] For the light emitting element mounted on the base substrate, any suitable light emitting element such as a known light emitting element can be used, but in the present embodiment a light emitting diode is preferably Used as the light-emitting element.
[0071] The light emitting element of any suitable wavelength can be selected. For example, for a blue light-emitting element and a green light-emitting element, a nitride-based semiconductor (InxAlyGa1-x-yN, 0 < x, 0 < y, x + y < 1), GaP, ZnSe, or the like, can be used. For a red light emitting element, GaAlAs, AlInGaP, or similar can be used. Additionally, a semiconductor light-emitting element using other materials can also be employed. The composition, emission color, size, and number of the light emitting element can be selected as appropriate, according to a purpose of use.
[0072] The emission wavelength of the light emitting element can be selected in various ways by selecting the materials of the semiconductor layer and the ratio of the mixed crystals. The light emitting element can include a positive electrode and a negative electrode that can be disposed on the same surface side or different surfaces of the light emitting element.
[0073] The light-emitting element according to the present embodiment includes a light transmitting substrate and a semi-conductive layer layered on the substrate. The layered semiconductor includes an n-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a p-type semiconductor layer, which are stacked in that order. An n-type electrode is formed in the n-type semiconductor layer, and a p-type electrode is formed in the p-type semiconductor layer.
[0074] The light-emitting element can be mounted in a flip-chip mode, in which, through the connecting members, the light-emitting element electrodes are connected to conductive wiring on one surface of the base substrate and on the opposite surface the surface on which the electrodes are disposed, that is, a main surface of the light transmitting substrate serves as a light extraction surface. Meanwhile, in the case of face-up mounting, in which the light-emitting element is mounted on the base substrate surface opposite the electrode-bearing surface, the electrode-bearing surface serves as the light-extracting surface.
[0075] The light-emitting element is arranged along two conductive wirings on the positive side and on the negative side, which are insulatingly separated from each other, and is electrically connected and mechanically affixed to the conductive wiring through the conductive connecting members. In that case, the light-emitting element can be assembled using, in addition to an assembly method using a welder paste, an assembly method using impacts. A small-sized packaged light-emitting element, in which a light-emitting element is sealed by a covering resin or the like, can be used as the light-emitting element, and the light-emitting element of a suitable shape and structure can also be employed.
[0076] As will be described below, in case the light emitting device includes a wavelength converting material, a nitride semiconductor that can emit light of a short wavelength that can excite the wavelength converting material of effective mode is preferred. BOTTOM FILLING 16
[0077] In the case of mounting the light-emitting element in a flip-chip mode, a bottom pad is preferably disposed between the light-emitting element and the base substrate. The bottom pad contains a charge in order to allow light from the light emitting element to be effectively reflected, and to allow a coefficient of thermal expansion of the bottom pad to be close to that of the light emitting element.
[0078] For the bottom fill, a material that absorbs little light emitted from the light emitting element can be used, and for example, an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, a modified silicone resin, a urethane resin, a oxetane resin, an acrylic resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polyimide resin or the like can be used.
[0079] The filler contained in the bottom fill is preferably a white filler, which can facilitate light reflection, so that the light extraction efficiency can be improved, and an inorganic compound is preferably used for the charge. The term "white" as used herein includes the case where the charge appears white due to scattering of light due to a difference in refractive index between the charge and a material around the charge even though the charge itself is transparent.
[0080] The reflectivity of the charge is preferably 50% or more, more preferably 70% or more with respect to light with the peak emission wavelength of the light emitting element. With such an arrangement, the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device 100 can be improved. The particle size of the charge is preferably in a range of 1 nm to 10 µm. With this range of filler particle size, the resin flowability of the bottom fill can be improved, which allows the bottom fill to sufficiently cover even a narrow space. The particle size of the charge is preferably in a range from 100 nm to 5 µm, and more preferably from 200 nm to 2 µm. The charge can be spherical in shape or similar to a scale shape.
[0081] It is preferred that a side surface of the light-emitting element is preferably not covered by the bottom padding by selecting and appropriately adjusting the charge particle size and material for the bottom padding. This allows the side surface of the light emitting element to serve as the light extracting surface. COVERING RESIN 19
[0082] The covering resin is a member disposed on the light extracting surface side of the light-emitting element to protect the light-emitting element from the external environment and optically control the light emitted from the light-emitting element. The covering resin can directly cover the light-emitting element, or it can be arranged on the light-emitting element by means of a layer of air or the like without directly covering the light-emitting element.
[0083] Examples of a material for the capping resin may include an epoxy resin, a silicone resin and a mixed resin among these. Among these, a silicone resin is preferably selected in view of lightfastness and ease of formation. In particular, in the case where gas barrier property [is required, it is preferable to use a phenyl silicone resin as the material for the coating resin.
[0084] The covering resin contains the light diffusing agent which serves to diffuse the light emitted from the light emitting element. Including the light diffusing agent allows the light emitted from the light emitting element to be diffused substantially in all directions.
[0085] The covering resin may contain, in addition to the light diffusing agent, the wavelength converting material, such as phosphors, which absorbs light from the light emitting element and emits light with a wavelength different from that of the light emitted from the light emitting element, and the covering resin may also contain a coloring agent corresponding to the color of the light emitted from the light emitting element.
[0086] The covering resin can be formed to cover the light emitting element with the use of compression molding or injection molding. Alternatively, it is also possible that the viscosity of the coating resin material is optimized and then the coating resin material is dumped or withdrawn from the light-emitting element to allow the formation of a convex shape using the surface tension of the material. of the covering resin.
[0087] In the pouring or withdrawing method as described above, a mold is not necessary, and thus the covering resin can be formed by the simplest method. The viscosity of the material for the coating resin in this method of formation can be adjusted using the light diffusing agent described above, the wavelength converting material and the colorant, so that the material for the coating resin with a desired viscosity, which is different from the original viscosity of the material for the coating resin, can be obtained. LIGHT DIFFUSION AGENT AND DISPERSION PARTICLES
[0088] Examples of light scattering agent 17 and light scattering particles 18 may include oxides such as SiO2, Al2O3, Al(OH) 3, MgCO3, TiO2, ZrO2, ZnO, Nb2O5, MgO, Mg(OH) 2, SrO, In2O3, TaO2, HfO, SeO, Y2O3, CaO, Na2O, B2O3, SnO, and ZrSiO4, nitrides such as SiN, AlN, and AlON, and fluorides such as MgF2, CaF2, NaF, LiF, and Na3AlF6. At least one of these materials can be used individually, or cast and blended for use as glass or the like. Additionally or alternatively, these materials can be formed as multiple layers on which these materials are stacked.
[0089] In particular, the use of glass allows the control of the refractive index of the light diffusing agent and the light scattering particles. A particle size of the light-scattering agent and light-scattering particles can be appropriately determined in a range of 0.01 µm to 100 µm. The content of light-scattering agent and light-scattering particles needs to be adjusted, and can be appropriately determined according to the volume of the coating resin and the particle size of the light-scattering agent and of the light-scattering particles. light. THIRD MODE
[0090] Figures 4A and 4B show schematic structural diagrams of an example of a light emitting device in a third embodiment. Figure 4A is a schematic top view, and Figure 4B is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line III-III of Figure 4A. The present embodiment differs from the light emitting device 200 of the second embodiment in that the coating resin 19 contains the wavelength converting material 20 in addition to the light-scattering agent 17 and the light-scattering particles 18.
[0091] That is, a light emitting device 300 in the third modality includes the light emitting element 14 to emit the first light, the covering resin 19, the light diffusing agent 17 and the wavelength converting material 20 to be excited by the first light emitted from the light emitting element 14, and to emit the second light with a wavelength greater than a wavelength of the first light. The light emitting device 300 according to the third embodiment may contain the light-scattering particles 18, if necessary.
[0092] In the light emitting device 300, the covering resin 19, which contains the light diffusing agent 17 and the wavelength converting material 20, is formed in the light emitting element 14 (i.e., on the surface side extracting light from the light emitting element 14).
[0093] The light emitting device 300 can be, for example, a white LED, specifically, which includes a blue LED as the light emitting element 14, and yellow phosphors as the wavelength converting material 20. In a device light emitting including a blue LED and yellow phosphors, a blue light emitted from the blue LED and a yellow light emitted from the 20 wavelength converter material, which is excited by part of the blue light emitted from the blue LED, are mixed, so that a white light can be obtained.
[0094] In such a light-emitting device that achieves a desired emission color by mixing the first light emitted from the light emitting element and the second light emitted from the wavelength converting material, a change in a mixing ratio between the first light and second light leads to a change in emission color. In general, a fluorescent emission efficiency of the wavelength converting material is decreased as the temperature of the wavelength converting material increases. If the temperature of the light emitting device is increased by operating the light emitting device or the like, the fluorescent emission efficiency of the wavelength converting material is reduced. In the light emitting device including the blue LED and yellow phosphors, as the temperature of the light emitting device is increased, an amount of yellow light is reduced, thus changing a ratio between an amount of blue light and that of the light. yellow light, which allows the chromaticity of white light to shift to the blue light side (ie, an x value and a y value in the CIE chromaticity coordinate become small).
[0095] In the light emitting device 300 of the third mode, the fluorescent emission efficiency of the wavelength converting material 20 can be reduced when the temperature of the light emitting device is increased. Therefore, since the temperature of the light emitting device 300 is increased by driving the light emitting device or the like, the fluorescent emission efficiency of the wavelength converting material 20 can be reduced.
[0096] Meanwhile, in the light emitting device 300 of the third mode, the refractive index of the coating resin 19, and a rate of change in the refractive index of the coating resin 19, and the refractive index and content of the light diffusing agent are determined by considering a decrease in the fluorescent emission effectiveness of the 20 wavelength converting material due to the increase in temperature. Thereby, the light emitting device 300 is configured so that the ratio (mixing ratio) of an amount of first light emitted from the light emitting element to an amount of second light emitted from the wavelength converting material can be changed with less easily.
[0097] More specifically, the inventors configure the light emitting device 300 of the third mode so that the mixing ratio of the first light and the second light can be changed less easily, even in the case of the fluorescent emission efficiency of the material 20 wavelength converter be reduced from a point of view as described below.
[0098] In the event that the fluorescent emission efficiency of the wavelength converting material 20 is decreased due to an increase in temperature, the ratio of the amount of the first light will be relatively increased assuming that the ratio of the first light that excites the 20 wavelength converting material can be changed less easily due to the increase in temperature, so that the emission color of the light emitting device can be changed.
[0099] In this regard, it is considered that increasing an amount of scattering of the first light due to the light diffusing agent 17 allows the ratio of the first light to excite the wavelength converting material 20 to be increased. That is, in case the amount of scattering of the first light by the light diffusing agent 17 is increased, the possibility of irradiation of the first light to the wavelength converting material 20 will increase, which allows the ratio of the first absorbed light by the wavelength converting material 20 is increased, and so that the amount of second light can be increased.
[00100] For this reason, the light emitting device 300 of the third mode is configured so that the amount of scattering of the first light by the light diffusing agent 17 increases in accordance with the increase in temperature to reduce the change in emission color due to the decreased fluorescent emission effectiveness of the 20 wavelength converter material.
[00101] The third mode will be described more specifically below.
[00102] As shown in Figure 2, the refractive index of a resin that configures the coating resin 19 decreases as the temperature increases (ie, the resin has a negative temperature coefficient).
[00103] In contrast, in case the light diffusing agent 17 is made of inorganic material, the temperature dependence of the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17 is less than that of a resin, and can be considered to be approximately constant .
[00104] The greater the reflectivity of the light diffusing agent 17 is, the greater the amount of dispersion by the light diffusing agent 17 contained in the coating resin 19, and the greater the difference in refractive index between the coating resin 19 and the light diffusing agent 17, the greater the light reflectivity of the light diffusing agent 17.
[00105] Therefore, the third mode light emitting device 300 was designed considering that:
[00106] (a) the refractive index of the coating resin 19 has a negative temperature dependence;
[00107] (b) the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17 using inorganic material has substantially no temperature dependence;
[00108] (c) the greater the difference in refractive index between the coating resin 19 and the light diffusing agent 17, the greater the amount of light scattering due to the light diffusing agent 17 contained in the coating resin.
[00109] Based on (a) to (c), in the light emitting device 300 of the third mode, the material for the covering resin 19 and the material for the light diffusing agent 17 are selected so that the index of refraction (a third refractive index n3) of light diffusing agent 17 at room temperature (25°C) is greater than a first refractive index n1 of coating resin 19 at room temperature (25°C).
[00110] With this arrangement, the difference between the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17 and the refractive index of the coating resin 19 increases with an increase in temperature.
[00111] In this way, the amount of diffusion of the first light by the light diffusing agent 17 can be increased according to the increase in temperature, which can reduce the change in the emission color due to the decrease in the efficiency of the fluorescent emission of the material 20 wavelength converter.
[00112] In the present context, particularly considering the content of the light diffusing agent 17 to be described later, a difference between the third refractive index n3 of the light diffusing agent 17 at room temperature (25 °C) and the first index The refractive rate n1 of the coating resin 19 at room temperature (25°C) is preferably in a range of from 0.01 to 0.1, and more preferably from 0.02 to 0.08.
[00113] In the light emitting device of the third mode, the content of the light diffusing agent 17 in the coating resin 19 is determined so that the change in emission color due to the change in temperature is small, considering the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the temperature dependence of the refractive index thereof, as well as the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17.
[00114] For example, the greater the content of the light diffusing agent 17 in the coating resin 19, the greater the rate of increase of an amount of scattering of the first light due to the light diffusing agent 17 according to an increase in temperature . For example, the lower the content of the light-scattering agent 17 in the coating resin 19, the lower the rate of increase in a scattering amount of the first light due to the light-scattering agent 17 in accordance with an increase in temperature.
[00115] Thus, in case the effect of reducing the change in emission color, which is based on a difference in refractive index between the coating resin 19 and the light diffusing agent 17, is relatively small, increase the content of the light-diffusing agent 17 in the covering resin 19 allows to obtain the effect of reducing the desired emission color change.
[00116] In contrast, in case the light emitting device has a relatively large effect in reducing the change in emission color, which is based on a difference between the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17, decreasing the content of the light diffusing agent 17 in the coating resin 19 allows to obtain the effect of reducing the desired emission color change.
[00117] For example, as shown in Example 1, to be described below, in the case where a silicone resin that has a refractive index of 1.51 at room temperature is used as the capping resin 19, a glass filler which has a refractive index of 1.52 at room temperature is used as the light diffusing agent 17, and 5 parts by weight of glass fillers are added to 100 parts by weight of resin, the effect of reducing the color change emission rate of the light emitting device can be obtained, but the effect of reducing the change in emission color is less, compared to the use case of a glass charge having a refractive index of 1.56 at room temperature . However, even in this case, increasing the amount of addition of the glass fillers to the resin allows for the effect of reducing the desired emission color change.
[00118] As described above, in the light emitting device according to the third modality, the content of the light diffusing agent 17 in the coating resin 19 is adjusted in view of the effect of reducing the change in emission color based on the index of refraction of the coating resin 19, depending on the temperature of the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17, which allows to supply the light emitting device whose emission color does not change accordingly with the change in temperature.
[00119] In case the content of the light diffusing agent 17 in the coating resin 19 cannot be increased, in order to satisfy other required performance, the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the temperature dependence of the refractive index of the coating resin 19, as well as the refractive index of the light-scattering agent 17, are appropriately determined, while the content of the light-scattering agent 17 in the coating resin 19 is determined to be small, which allows to supply the device light emitter whose change in emission color from it in relation to the change in temperature is small. THE CASE OF CONTAINING LIGHT DISPERSER PARTICLES
[00120] In the light emitting device of the third embodiment, the covering resin 19 can contain the light scattering particles 18.
[00121] However, in the case of containing the light scattering particles 18, it is necessary to determine the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17, the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the temperature dependence of the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the content of light diffusing agent 17 in the coating resin 19 considering the relation between the refractive index of the light scattering particles 18 and the refractive index of the coating resin 19.
[00122] For example, a silica filler may be contained in the coating resin 19 in order to impart the necessary thixotropy to form the coating resin 19 during a manufacturing process. The silica filler is the light scattering particles 18 which have light scattering property.
[00123] The refractive index of the light scattering particles 18 made from the silica filler is 1.46.
[00124] For example, in case the silicone resin has a refractive index of 1.51 at room temperature and is used as the coating resin 19, and the light scattering particles 18 have a refractive index of 1, 46 and are contained in the coating resin 19, the ratio of refractive indices between the coating resin 19, the light scattering agent 17 and the light scattering particles 18 is as shown in Figure 2.
[00125] From a point of view of an amount of light scattering by the light scattering particles 18 contained in the coating resin 19 based on the relationship shown in Figure 2, the difference between the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the refractive index of the light scattering particles 18 is decreased with increasing temperature. Consequently, the amount of light scattering due to the light scattering particles 18 decreases with increasing temperature. This characteristic is opposite to that of the light scattering agent 17, in which the amount of light scattering increases with increasing temperature. Consequently, in case the coating resin 19 contains the light scattering particles 18 which have the refractive index less than the refractive index of the coating resin 19 at a desired temperature range, the effect of reducing the change in color of emission by the light diffusing agent 17 can be shifted.
[00126] Consequently, in case the coating resin 19 contains the light scattering particles 18 which have the refractive index lower than the reflective index of the coating resin 19, the respective refractive indices of the diffusing agent are required. light 17 and the coating resin 19, the temperature dependence of the refractive index of the coating resin 19, and the content of the light diffusing agent 17 in the coating resin 19 are determined to compensate for the reduction in fluorescent emission effectiveness of the material. wavelength converter 20 due to the increase in temperature, and to the decrease in the amount of light scattering due to the light scattering particles 18 contained in the coating resin 19.
[00127] In case the coating resin 19 contains the light scattering particles 18 whose refractive index is greater than the refractive index of the coating resin 19 in a desired temperature range, the difference between the refractive index of the resin of coverage 19 and the refractive index of light scattering particles 18 increases with an increase in temperature. This allows to reduce the change in emission color due to the decrease in fluorescent emission efficiency of the wavelength converting material 20, similarly to the light diffusing agent 17. Therefore, in this case, for example, it is preferred that the content of light-scattering particles 18 in the coating resin 19 is diminished in view of the effect of reducing the change in emission color due to the light-scattering particles.
[00128] In the light emitting device 300 of the third embodiment, the resin material forming the covering resin 19 can be appropriately selected from materials that can satisfy the above-described relationship between the light diffusing agent 17.
[00129] However, for example, in view of the light extraction efficiency of light emitted through the coating resin 19, the refractive index of the coating resin 19 at room temperature (from this point in this document referred to as a first refractive index n1) is preferably in a range of 1.48 to 1.60. Preferably, the refractive index of the coating resin 19 at 100°C (hereafter referred to as a second refractive index n2) is less than the first refractive index n1 of the coating resin 19 at room temperature. , and a difference in refractive index between the first refractive index n1 and the second refractive index n2 is preferably equal to or greater than 0.0075. The use of a resin having the refractive indices of such a range and a difference of the n1 and n2 refractive indices of such a range for the coating resin 19 allows for effective reduction in emission color change due to the coating resin 19 which contains the light-scattering agent 17 in an amount typically used. The expression "the light scattering agent 17 in a typically used amount" means that the content of the light scattering agent 17 is in a range of 2 parts by weight to 15 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of resin. The content of the light-scattering agent 17 is preferably in a range of 3 parts by weight to 10 parts by weight, and more preferably from 4 parts by weight to 7 parts by weight.
[00130] Preferably, the second refractive index n2 of the coating resin 19 at 100 °C is less than the first refractive index n1 of the coating resin 19 at room temperature, and the difference between the first refractive index n1 and the second refractive index n2 of the coating resin 19 is preferably 0.03 or less. In case a difference between the first refractive index n1 and the second refractive index n2 of the coating resin 19 is greater than 0.03, fluctuations in an amount of light scattering due to fluctuations in content (variation in content) of the light-scattering agent 17 in the coating resin, 19 or due to fluctuations in distribution (variations in distribution) of the light-scattering agent 17 in the coating resin 19, can be increased.
[00131] In this specification, each of the first refractive index n1, the second refractive index n2 and the third refractive index n3 is a value at the peak wavelength of the light-emitting element 14. The first index of refraction n1, the second refractive index n2 and the third refractive index n3 can be measured directly at the peak wavelength of the light emitting element 14, or can be calculated using a linear approximation between two values that are measured at different wavelengths.
[00132] The resin that satisfies the above-described conditions of refractive index can be selected from several types of resins, including an epoxy resin, a silicone resin and a mixed resin among these. A phenyl-based silicone resin can preferably be used as the resin. The term "phenyl-based silicone resin" as used in this specification indicates a silicone resin that has a phenyl group, but the silicone resin may include, in part, an alkyl group, such as a methyl group. The refractive index and temperature dependence of the refractive index of the phenyl-based silicone resin can be easily determined to be in ranges that satisfy the above-described relationship between refractive indices. The phenyl-silicone resin has lower gas permeability, for example, compared to other silicone resins such as methyl-based silicone resin, and thus is suitable for the coating resin 19 for the light emitting device. .
[00133] The light diffusing agent 17 preferably contains glass particles, which allow the light diffusing agent to have a desired refractive index. In this specification, glass means an amorphous inorganic material, and glass may partially contain precipitated crystals.
[00134] The glass particles contained in the light diffusing agent 17 preferably have a refractive index in a range from 1.50 to 1.65, more preferably from 1.52 to 1.60, and, even more preferably from 1.54 to 1.58 at the peak wavelength of the light emitting element. With the glass particles having the refractive index in such a range, the change in emission color due to the decrease in fluorescent emission efficiency of the 20 wavelength converting material can be easily reduced in combination with the resin. cover 19 which has the refractive index in the range described above and the temperature coefficient of the refractive index in that range.
[00135] Examples of glass particles having a refractive index of 1.50 to 1.65 at the peak wavelength of the light emitting element may include, for example, glass particles produced by melting, mixing, and materials sprayers made of one or more materials selected from oxides such as SiO2, Al2O3, Al(OH) 3, MgCO3, TiO2, ZrO2, ZnO, Nb2O5, MgO, Mg(OH) 2, SrO, In2O3, TaO2, HfO, SeO, Y2O3, CaO, Na2O, B2O3, SnO, and ZrSiO4, nitrides such as SiN, AlN, and AlON, and fluorides such as MgF2, CaF2, NaF, LiF, and Na3AlF6, as described above. In the third embodiment, particularly, glass particles that contain SiO2 and Al2O3 are preferably used and set a composition ratio between SiO2 and Al2O3, and/or that contain at least one selected from the group that Consisting of B2O3, CaO, Na2O, ZrO2, SrO, F2, MgO, and ZnO, allow the refractive index of the glass particle to be properly determined in a range of 1.50 to 1.65.
[00136] As described above, in the light emitting device of the third mode, the coating resin 19 contains the light diffusing agent 17 which has a refractive index greater than the reflective index of the coating resin 19 at 25 °C, in addition to the wavelength converting material 20. Thereby, at 100 °C, the difference in refractive index between the coating resin 19 and the light diffusing agent 17 can be increased, which allows to increase the amount of light scattering in the coating resin 19. For example, in the light emitting device which includes a blue LED, and yellow phosphors as the light emitting element 14, and the wavelength converting material 20, respectively, the possibility that blue light coming from the light emitting element 14 reaching the wavelength converting material 20 is increased to increase the amount of yellow light. In this way, the ratio of blue light to yellow light can be controlled so that the change in chromaticity of the emission light due to temperature can be reduced.
[00137] The change in the emission color (chromaticity) can be represented, for example, by changes, respectively, in the x value and in the y value, in the chromaticity coordinates in relation to the change in temperature. The smaller the change in each of the x value and the y value in the chromaticity coordinates relative to the change in temperature, the more preferred it is. A difference in the x value in the chromaticity coordinates between 25°C and 100°C can be appropriately determined, but preferably 0.01 or less, and more preferably 0.005 or less. A difference between the y value in the chromaticity coordinates at 25°C and at 100°C can be appropriately determined, but preferably 0.01 or less, and more preferably 0.005 or less.
[00138] The x value in the chromaticity coordinates at 25 °C can be determined to be less than the x value in the chromaticity coordinates at 100 °C in the above-mentioned preferential range of change in chromaticity. With this, the chromaticity value can be shifted towards a higher spectral luminous efficacy value in the chromaticity coordinates, so that the decrease in luminous flux at a high temperature can be diminished.
[00139] It should be noted that, in this descriptive report, a difference between values in the chromaticity coordinates is represented by the absolute value, unless otherwise specified. The method of measuring light distributions and chromaticity is based on the JIS standard.
[00140] Although an example in which light scattering particles 18 are contained is shown in the third embodiment, light scattering particles 18 are not necessarily required, and may be added, for example, for the purpose of conferring thixotropy or the like . WAVELENGTH CONVERTER MATERIAL 20
[00141] The wavelength converting material 20 may be, for example, one that serves to absorb light from the light-emitting element, including a nitride semiconductor as a light-emitting layer, and to convert the absorbed light into light with a wavelength different from the light emitting element. An example of a fluorescent material of the wavelength converting material 20 might include, for example, a nitride-based phosphor, and an oxynitride-based phosphor, which are primarily activated by a lanthanide element such as Eu or Ce. More specifically, the fluorescent material is preferably at least one selected from materials described in paragraphs (D1) to (D3) below.
[00142] (D1) Phosphors activated primarily by the lanthanoid element, such as Eu, or by a transition metal element, such as Mn, as below: an alkaline earth halogen apatite phosphor, an alkali metal haloborate phosphor an alkaline earth metal aluminate phosphorus, an alkaline earth metal sulfide phosphorus, an alkaline earth metal thiogallate phosphorus, an alkaline earth metal silicon nitride phosphor, a germanate phosphorus, etc. .
[00143] (D2) Phosphors activated mainly by the lanthanoid element, such as Ce, as below: a rare earth aluminate phosphorus, a rare earth silicate phosphorus, an alkaline earth metal rare earth silicate phosphorus, etc.
[00144] (D3) Phosphors made of organic elements or organic complexes, etc., activated mainly by the element lanthanide, with Eu.
[00145] Among these, an aluminum yttrium garnet phosphor (YAG), which is a rare earth aluminate activated primarily by the lantanoid element, such as Ce in (D2) above, is preferred. YAG phosphors are represented by the following composition formulas (D21) to (D24), or the like.
[00146] (D21) Y3Al5O12:Ce
[00147] (D22) (Y0.8Gd0.2)3Al5O12:Ce
[00148] (D23) Y3(Al0.8Ga0.2)5O12:Ce
[00149] (D24) (Y, Gd)3(Al, Ga)5O12:Ce
[00150] For example, in the formulas described above, a part or all of Y may be replaced by Tb, Lu or the like. More specifically, the phosphor can be Tb3Al5O12:Ce, Lu3Al5O12:Ce, etc. Additionally, any phosphor other than the phosphor described above that has performance, function and effect that are similar to the phosphor described above may be used.
[00151] Such a phosphor preferably has a particle size, for example, of approximately 2.5 to 30 µm.
[00152] It should be noted that the term "particle size", as used in this specification, indicates an average particle size, which is indicated as an F.S.S.S. (Fisher analysis for average particle size), determined by using an air permeability method, which is represented by the so-called "D bar" (indicated by "D" with a bar above the "D") .
[00153] The wavelength converting material can be, for example, a light-emitting substance that is, so called, nanocrystal or quantum dot. Examples of such a light-emitting substance may include semiconductor materials, for example, nanosized high dispersion particles of group IIVI, group III-V, group IV-VI or group I-III-VI semiconductors and the like. More specifically, examples of nanosized high dispersion particles include CdSe, GaP, InAs, InP, GaN, PbS, PbSe, Cu(In, Ga)S2, Ag(In, Ga)S2, CdSXSe1-X/ZnS do core-shell type. Such a quantum dot may have a particle size, for example, from 1 to 100 nm, and preferably from approximately 1 to 20 nm (corresponding to a group of approximately 10 to 50 atoms). The use of quantum dots with such a particle size can reduce the internal scattering of light, which allows to reduce the scattering of light in a wavelength-conversion region. FOURTH MODE
[00154] Figures 5A and 5B are schematic structural diagrams showing an example of a light emitting device in a fourth embodiment. Figure 5A is a top view of the light emitting device, and Figure 5B is a diagram showing an end surface taken along line IV-IV of Figure 5A.
[00155] A fourth modality light emitting device 400 differs from the third modality light emitting device 300 in that the covering resin 19 is formed into a shape similar to a cap, and that the light emitting element 14 is the covering resin 19 are separated from each other by means of an air layer 21.
[00156] Similarly to the third modality, in the light emitting device of the fourth modality, the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17, the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and its temperature dependence, and the agent content light diffuser 17 in the covering resin 19, are determined so that the change in emission color due to the change in temperature is small. Thereby, the light emitting device of the fourth mode, including the light emitting element 14 and the covering resin 19, which are separated by means of the air layer 21, can be configured so that the emission color can hardly be changed in relation to the change in temperature.
[00157] Also, with such an arrangement, the first light emitted from the light emitting element 14 (e.g. blue light) that passes through the covering resin 19 can have approximately the same light path length throughout the entire resin of roof. This allows the rate of the first light (blue light) to excite the 20 wavelength converter material to be approximately uniform across the coating resin, which can reduce color non-uniformity. It should be noted that, in the fourth embodiment, the covering resin 19 is dome-shaped, but not limited to, and, for example, may have a plate-like shape. FIFTH MODE
[00158] Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a light emitting device 500 according to a fifth embodiment. The light emitting device 500 of the fifth embodiment differs from the light emitting device 200 of the second embodiment in that the covering resin 19 has a convex shape (e.g., a half-elongated approximately spheroid shape, or an approximately conical shape), and a height A of the coating resin 19 in the direction of the optical axis (L) is formed as longer than a width C of the bottom surface of the coating resin 19. It should be noted that a normal line through the center of the emitter element of light 14 is defined as the optical geometric axis L.
[00159] Dumping the resin that contains the light-scattering particles 18 and has high thixotropy allows to form the coating resin 19 which has a longer length in the direction of the optical axis (L) than a width C of the bottom surface.
[00160] In the fifth mode light emitting device, the length in the optical axis direction (L) of the coating resin 19 is greater than the width C of the bottom surface of the coating resin 19, which allows light emitted from the light emitting element 14 is diffused by the light diffusing agent 17 and the light scattering particles 18. Thereby, the intensity of the light emitted from the light emitting device 500 is substantially in proportion to an apparent area ratio of the resin. coverage 19. Consequently, a bat-wing-like light distribution characteristic can be achieved as shown in Figure 7.
[00161] In the fifth mode light emitting device, the covering resin 19 may contain the wavelength converting material 20. In the fifth mode light emitting device, in the case where the covering resin 19 contains the converting material of wavelength 20, similarly to the third embodiment, the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17, the refractive index of the coating resin 19, the temperature dependence of the coating resin 19 and the content of the coating resin light 17 in the cover resin 19 are determined to reduce the change in emission color due to the change in temperature, which allows the emission color to be changed less easily relative to the change in temperature.
[00162] In the case of containing the light scattering particles 18 in the light emitting device of the fifth mode, it is preferable to determine the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17, the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the temperature dependence of the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the content of the light-scattering agent 17 in the coating resin 19 in view of the ratio in refractive index between the light-scattering particles 18 and the coating resin 19. SIXTH MODE
[00163] Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a light emitting device 600 according to a sixth embodiment.
The sixth modality light emitting device 600 differs from the third modality light emitting device 300 in that a plurality of stacked green ceramic blades are sintered to form the base substrate 11.
[00165] In the light emitting device of the sixth modality, similarly to the third modality, the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17, the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and its temperature dependence on the refractive index of the resin coating 19 and the content of the light diffusing agent 17 in the coating resin 19 are determined so as to allow the emission color to be reduced with respect to the change in temperature. With this arrangement, the light emitting device of the sixth mode allows the emission color to remain substantially unchanged with respect to the change in temperature.
[00166] In addition, in case the light emitting device of the sixth mode contains the light scattering particles 18, it is preferable to determine the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17, the refractive index of the coating resin 19 and the dependence temperature of the refractive index of the coating resin 19, and the content of the light-scattering agent 17 in the coating resin 19, in view of the relationship between the refractive index of the light-scattering particles 18 and the refractive index of the coating resin. coverage 19.
[00167] A base substrate 11 has a recess. An upper surface of the recess has an opening, and the recess has side surfaces and a bottom surface. The conductive wirings 12, like electrodes, are arranged on the bottom surface of the recess to be exposed and electrically connected to the light-emitting element 14, respectively. The recess is sealed with the covering resin 19 containing the light diffusing agent 17 and the light-dispersing particles 18. Arranging the light-emitting element 14 in the recess of the base substrate 11 can further protect the light-emitting element from 14 voltage light applied from outside.
[00168] In each of the light-emitting devices described above, from the first to sixth embodiments, in the covering resin, the wavelength converting material 20 may be present more densely in the vicinity of the light-emitting element 14 than in the proximity of a light extracting surface of the light emitting device. Alternatively, the wavelength converting materials 20 may be present less densely in the vicinity of the light emitting element 14 than in the vicinity of a light extracting surface of the light emitting device.
[00169] In each of the light-emitting devices described above, from the first to sixth embodiments, in the covering resin, the light diffusing agent 17 can be present more densely in the vicinity of the light-emitting element 14 than in the vicinity of a light extracting surface of the light emitting device. Alternatively, the light-diffusing agent 17 may be less densely present in the vicinity of the light-emitting element 14 than in the vicinity of a light-extracting surface of the light-emitting device. SEVENTH MODE
[00170] Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a light emitting device 700 according to a seventh embodiment.
[00171] The light emitting device 700 of the seventh mode differs from the light emitting device 600 of the sixth mode in that the light emitting element 14 is covered by a covering resin 19a (first portion of the covering resin) which contains the wavelength converting material 20, and that a coating resin 19b (second portion of coating resin) containing the light scattering agent 17 and light scattering particles 18 is formed closer to the light extracting surface (or that is, outside) the light emitting device 700 that to the coating resin 19a containing the wavelength converting material 20 so as to be separated from the coating resin 19a (i.e., so that a layer containing the material wavelength converter 20 is separated from a layer containing the light-scattering agent 17 and the light-scattering particles 18).
Covering resin 19b may contain the light-scattering particles 18 if necessary, or it may contain only the light-scattering agent 17.
[00173] That is, the covering resin 19 is formed of two or more layers, in which a distance between the light-emitting element 14 and the covering resin layer 19a containing the wavelength converting material 20 is more shorter than a distance between the light emitting element 14 and the covering resin layer 19b containing the light diffusing agent 17.
Covering resin 19b which contains both the light scattering agent 17 and the light scattering particles 18 may not be formed independently. That is, at least the light-scattering agent 17 or the light-scattering particles 18 can be densely distributed in a separate part of the light-emitting element 14.
[00175] A resin material forming the capping resin 19b containing the light scattering agent 17 or the light scattering particles 18 and a resin material forming the capping resin 19a containing the wavelength converting material 20 can be made of the same material or different materials.
[00176] In the light emitting device described above, of the seventh modality, the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17, the refractive index of the coating resin 19b and the temperature dependence of the refractive index of the coating resin 19b, and the content of the light-scattering agent 17 in the coating resin 19b, are determined so as to reduce the change in emission color relative to the change in temperature.
[00177] With this arrangement, the light emitting device of the seventh modality allows the emission color to be hardly changed in relation to the change in temperature.
[00178] Furthermore, in case the light emitting device of the seventh mode includes the light scattering particles 18, it is preferred to determine the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17, the refractive index of the coating resin 19b and the temperature dependence of the refractive index of the coating resin 19b, and the content of the light-scattering agent 17 in the coating resin 19 in view of the relationship between the refractive index of the light-scattering particles 18 and the refractive index of the coating resin. coverage 19b. EXAMPLE 1
[00179] A light emitting device according to Example 1 will be described below.
[00180] The light emitting device in Example 1 is an example of the light emitting device 300 according to the third embodiment. Figure 4B is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the light emitting device 300. Figure 10 is a diagram showing chromaticity coordinates according to changes in temperature in Example 1. It should be noted that the values of the indices of refraction in the examples are at 25 °C, unless otherwise specified. In the examples, the chromaticity was measured based on the B condition of the JIS-8152.
[00181] In the configuration of Example 1, the blue LED is used as the light emitting element 14 which has a peak wavelength of 450 nm, and a green phosphor (YAG) and a red phosphor (SCASN) are used as the wavelength converting material 20. With this arrangement, the light emitting device 300 in Example 1 is configured to emit white light at a correlated color temperature of 2426.85 C° (2,700 K). The light emitting device 300 in Example 1 contains silicone resin with a refractive index of 1.51 (25°C, 589 nm) as the coating resin 19, and silica fillers with a refractive index of 1.46 (25°C, 589 nm) as the light scattering particles 18 (with a low refractive index). So, in addition to the light-scattering particles 18, three types of glass charges that have refractive indices of 1.48 (25°C, 589 nm), 1.52 (25°C, 589 nm), and 1.56 (25°C, 589 nm) are respectively contained in the coating resin 19, and no other glass filler is contained, which allows four types, in total, of light emitting devices to be obtained. These four types of light emitting devices have had their temperatures changed from -40°C to 130°C (to -40°C, 0°C, 25°C, 60°C, 105°C and 130°C), and the changes in chromaticity of each light emitting device at each of these temperatures were measured. In the present context, the glass charge corresponds to the light diffusing agent 17 in the third modality.
[00182] The refractive index of silicon resin at the wavelength of 450 nm at 25 °C, the refractive index of the silica charge at the wavelength of 450 nm at 25 °C and the refractive index of the charge of glass at a wavelength of 450 nm at 25 °C can be determined, for example, by linear approximation of refractive indices measured at 589 nm at 25 °C and at 486 nm at 25 °C, or by linear approximation of measured indices of light refraction of 486 nm at 25 °C and 435 nm at 25 °C. The refractive indices calculated using the linear approximation are as shown below. It should be noted that the glass charges 1 to 3 shown below are such that, at the wavelength of 589 nm at 25 °C, the glass charge 1 has a refractive index of 1.48, the glass charge 2 has a refractive index of 1.52, and charge 3 has a refractive index of 1.56.
[00183] The refractive index of silicone resin: 1.52 (450 nm, 25 °C)
[00184] The refractive index of the silica charge: 1.47 (450 nm, 25 °C)
[00185] The refractive index of the glass charge 1: 1.49 (450 nm, 25 °C)
[00186] The refractive index of the glass charge 2: 1.53 (450 nm, 25 °C)
[00187] The refractive index of the glass charge 3: 1.57 (450 nm, 25 °C)
[00188] In Example 1, 5 parts by weight of the glass filler is contained in 100 parts by weight of resin components in the coating resin 19.
[00189] According to Example 1, it is confirmed that the configuration in which the coating resin 19 contains the glass charges (light diffusing agent 17) that have a higher refractive index than that of the coating resin 19 allows the change in the emission color of the light emitting device 300 is reduced.
[00190] As shown in Figure 10, in case the content of such a glass filler is determined as 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the coating resin, the change in chromaticity is decreased accordingly with the increase of the refractive index of the light diffusing agent which has a higher refractive index than the refractive index of the coating resin 19. It should be noted that the refractive index of the light diffusing agent 17 and the content of the agent Light diffuser 17 need to be optimized based on the volume, shape or the like of the coating resin 19 containing the light-scattering particles, in addition to a difference in refractive index between the coating resin and the light diffusing agent. EXAMPLE 2
[00191] A light emitting device according to Example 2 will be described below.
[00192] The light emitting device according to Example 2 is an example of the light emitting device 300 in the third mode. Figure 4B is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the light emitting device 300. Figure 11 is a diagram showing chromaticity coordinates according to changes in temperature in Example 2.
[00193] In Example 2, the content of the light-scattering agent 17 contained in the coating resin 19 is changed to assess how much the effect of reducing the change in emission color depends on the content of the light-scattering agent. More specifically, four types of light emitting devices are formed, in which the content of the glass charge (light diffusing agent 17) with a refractive index of 1.56 is respectively 3 parts by weight, 5 parts by weight , 10 parts by weight and 15 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the coating resin. Each of these four light-emitting devices has had its temperature changed from -40 °C to 130 °C (to -40 °C, 0 °C, 25 °C, 60 °C, 105 °C, and 130 °C), and the changes in chromaticity of the light emitted from the light emitting device at each of these temperatures were measured.
[00194] The structures of components of the light emitting device other than the structure of the light diffusing agent described above 17 are similar to those in Example 1.
[00195] According to Example 2, the light emitted from the light emitting devices which contains, respectively, 10 parts by weight and 15 parts by weight of the light diffusing agent 17 with respect to 100 parts by weight of the coating resin contains large amount of the blue component when the temperature of the light emitting device is low, while the blue component decreases and a yellow component increases with increasing temperature. On the other hand, the light emitted from the light emitting device which contains 3 parts by weight of the light diffusing agent 17 with respect to 100 parts by weight of the coating resin contains a large amount of the yellow component when the temperature is low, while a amount of yellow component increases and an amount of blue component increases with increase in temperature.
[00196] As described above, the tendency of change in the color component with respect to temperature varies between the light emitting device containing 3 parts by weight of the light diffusing agent 17 in 100 parts by weight of the coating resin and the devices light emitters containing 10 parts by weight and 15 parts by weight of the light diffusing agent 17 in 100 parts by weight of coating resin.
[00197] In the light emitting device which contains 10 parts by weight of the light diffusing agent 17 in 100 parts by weight of the coating resin, the changes in the amount of the blue component and the yellow component are less than those in the light emitting device which contains 15 parts by weight of the light scattering agent 17 in 100 parts by weight of the coating resin. The reason for this result is that, according to an increase in the content of the light diffusing agent, the total area of the interface between the coating resin 19 and the particles of the light diffusing agent 17 is increased, which allows to increase the amount of diffused light. That is, blue light diffused at a high temperature excessively excites the wavelength converting material 20, which results in an excessive amount of the yellow component, which far outweighs the reduction in fluorescent emission effectiveness of the wavelength converting material. 20 due to the increase in temperature. From this aspect, it can be understood that, in order to reduce the change in chromaticity, it is necessary to control not only a difference in the refractive index between the glass charges and the coating resin, but also the content of the glass charges that must be added. EXAMPLE 3
[00198] A light emitting device according to Example 3 will be described below. The light emitting device in Example 3 is an example of the light emitting device 300 according to the third embodiment. Figure 4B is a cross-sectional view showing an example of light emitting device 300. Figure 12A is a diagram showing chromaticity coordinates in relation to changes in temperature in Example 3. Figure 12B is a diagram showing a luminous flux in relation to changes in temperature in Example 3.
[00199] Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that a yellowish green phosphor (LAG phosphor) and a red phosphor (SCASN) are used as the 20 wavelength converting material, and mixed amounts of them are controlled to produce light white of the correlated color temperature of 4726.85 °C (5000 K). In Example 3, a light emitting device containing 5 parts by weight of glass charges with a refractive index of 1.56 in 100 parts by weight of coating resin and a light emitting device containing no glass charge as the light diffusing agent are produced and evaluated as follows. Except for the structures described above, the light emitting devices in Example 3 are manufactured in a similar way to that in Example 1. These two types of light emitting devices have had their temperatures changed from -40 °C to 130 °C (to -40 °C, 0 °C, 25 °C, 60 °C, 105 °C and 130 °C), and the changes in chromaticity and luminous flux of light emitted from the light emitting devices were measured.
[00200] According to Example 3, it is confirmed that even if the correlated color temperature of white light is changed from 2426.85 C° (2,700 K) to 4726.85 °C (5,000 K), the addition of the light diffusing agent 17 can reduce the change in chromaticity, similarly to Example 1. Additionally, in view of the results of the change in luminous flux according to temperature, the addition of the light diffusing agent 17 can reduce the decrease in luminous flux at high temperatures. The main reason for this is that, in case the light diffusing agent 17 is not included in the coating resin, the luminous flux switches to a high color temperature side with a low spectral luminous efficacy at a high temperature.
[00201] The light emitting device of the present invention can be used in backlight light sources for liquid crystal displays, various lighting accessories and the like. It should be understood that, while the present invention has been described in relation to preferred embodiments thereof, various other embodiments and variants may occur to persons skilled in the art, provided they are within the scope and spirit of the invention, and such other embodiments and variants are intended to be covered by the following claims.
