Abstract

A light source device including light emitting elements is provided. The light source device includes a print circuit board having a plurality of recesses formed of truncated elliptical/or rectangular cones in a linear arrangement formed thereon, a plurality of light emitting elements and an emission-permeable window part disposed in each of the recesses. Each of the recesses has a flat bottom and an elliptical/or a rectangular cross section along the direction of the linear arrangement of the recesses in the print circuit board. One of the light emitting elements is disposed on the flat bottom of each of the recesses. Each light emitting element unit has an elongated illuminant surface along the longitudinal direction of the print circuit board due to the package thereof. The light emitting element units constitute a linear light source along this direction, and each light emitting element unit has an increased luminance flux along this direction.

Claims (14)

1. A light source device, comprising:

a printed circuit board having a plurality of recesses formed of truncated elliptical cones in a linear arrangement formed thereon, at least one of said recesses having a flat bottom and an elliptical cross section along the direction of the linear arrangement of said recesses in said printed circuit board;

a plurality of light emitting elements, at least one of said light emitting elements being disposed on said flat bottom of an associated one of said recesses; and

an emission-permeable window disposed in said associated one of said recesses above said at least one of said light emitting elements including a transparent seal comprising a substantially planar outer surface.

2. The light source device of claim 1 , wherein said at least one of said light emitting elements includes a light emitting diode.

3. The light source device of claim 2 , wherein said light emitting diode is selected from a group consisting of white light emitting diode, red light emitting diode, green light emitting diode and blue light emitting diode.

4. The light source device of claim 1 , wherein said emission permeable window includes epoxy resin.

5. A light source device, comprising:

a printed circuit board having a plurality of recesses formed of elongated rectangular cones in a linear arrangement formed thereon, at least one of said recesses having a flat bottom and a rectangular cross-section along the direction of the linear arrangement of said recesses in said printed circuit board;

a plurality of light emitting elements, at least one of said light emitting elements being disposed on said flat bottom of an associated one of said recesses; and

an emission-permeable window disposed in said associated one of said recesses above said at least one of said light emitting elements including a transparent seal.

6. The light source device of claim 5 , wherein said at least one of said light emitting elements includes a light emitting diode.

7. The light source device of claim 6 , wherein said light emitting diode is selected from a group consisting of white light emitting diode, red light emitting diode, green light emitting diode and blue light emitting diode.

8. The light source device of claim 5 , wherein said emission-permeable window includes epoxy resin.
