Abstract

Disclosed herein is a light module comprising a substrate, at least one light-emitting element on the substrate, a sealing cap on the substrate and covering the light-emitting elements, and a fluid in the space formed among the sealing cap, the light-emitting elements, and the substrate, such that heat dissipation is fast and yellowing of the encapsulating material is retarded.

Claims (30)

1. A light module, comprising:

a substrate;

at least one light-emitting element on the substrate;

a sealing cap on the substrate and covering the light-emitting elements; and

a fluid in a space formed among the sealing cap, the light-emitting elements, and the substrate, wherein the fluid further comprises wavelength-converting material particles, diffuser particles, or anti-UV agents.

2. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the light module comprises a plurality of light-emitting elements on the substrate and the light-emitting elements are light-emitting diode chips electrically connected to each other.

3. The light module of claim 2 , wherein the light-emitting diode chips comprise a red light-emitting diode chip, a green light-emitting diode chip, and a blue light-emitting diode chip.

4. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the light module comprises a plurality of light-emitting elements on the substrate and the light-emitting elements are light-emitting diode package bodies electrically connected to each other.

5. The light module of claim 4 , wherein the light-emitting diode package bodies comprise a red light-emitting diode package body, a green light-emitting diode package body, and a blue light-emitting diode package body.

6. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the fluid comprises a transparent fluid having properties of heat resistance and light resistance.

7. The light module of claim 6 , wherein the fluid comprises silicone oil.

8. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the substrate has heat conductivity.

9. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the sealing cap comprises transparent material.

10. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the sealing cap comprises a single material layer or a composite material layer formed from one or more selected from the group consisting of silica gel, glass, ceramics, epoxy resin, polyimide, and B-staged bisbenzocyclobutene polymer.

11. The light module of claim 1 , wherein the substrate has a recess, and the light-emitting element is positioned on the recess.

12. The light module of claim 4 , wherein the light-emitting package bodies each have a capsulation material layer.

13. The light module of claim 12 , wherein the capsulation material layer comprises a single material layer or a composite material layer formed from one or more selected from the group consisting of silica gel, glass, ceramics, epoxy resin, polyimide, and B-staged bisbenzocyclobutene polymer.

14. A light module, comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light-emitting diode package bodies on the substrate, wherein the light-emitting diode package bodies are electrically connected to each other;

a sealing cap on the substrate and covering the light-emitting elements; and

a fluid in a space formed among the sealing cap, the light-emitting elements, and the substrate.

15. The light module of claim 14 , wherein the light-emitting diode package bodies comprise a red light-emitting diode package body, a green light-emitting diode package body, and a blue light-emitting diode package body.

16. The light module of claim 14 , wherein the fluid comprises a transparent fluid having properties of heat resistance and light resistance.

17. A light module, comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light-emitting elements on the substrate and the light-emitting elements are light-emitting diode package bodies electrically connected to each other;

a sealing cap on the substrate and covering the light-emitting elements; and

a fluid in a space formed among the sealing cap, the light-emitting elements, and the substrate,

wherein the substrate has a recess, and the light-emitting element is positioned on the recess.
