Abstract

A surface light source device using light emitting diodes, the device including: a housing having a top opening to emit light; a light emitting diode board disposed on an inner bottom surface of the housing, the board on which a plurality of light emitting diodes are arranged; and a color conversion laminate formed by depositing a plurality of phosphor-mixed resin layers containing phosphors, the layers disposed at a top of the opening of the housing and providing light having different wavelengths.

Claims (11)

1. A surface light source device using light emitting diodes, the device comprising:

a housing having a top opening to emit light;

a light emitting diode board disposed on an inner bottom surface of the housing, the board on which a plurality of light emitting diodes are arranged; and

a color conversion laminate formed by depositing a plurality of phosphor-mixed resin layers containing phosphors, the layers disposed above the plurality of light emitting diodes to be perpendicular to each other, the layers disposed at a top of the opening of the housing and providing light having different wavelength,

wherein the plurality of phosphor-mixed resin layers are deposited in such a way that a first phosphor-mixed layer adjacent the plurality of light emitting diodes provides a relatively lower wavelength than a second phosphor-mixed layer adjacent the plurality of light emitting diodes, wherein the first phosphor mixed layer is closer to the plurality of light emitting diodes than the second phosphor-mixed layer.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes is one of an ultraviolet light emitting diode and a near ultraviolet light emitting diode.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of phosphor-mixed resin layers comprises a phosphor-mixed resin layer containing a blue emitting phosphor, a phosphor-mixed resin layer containing a green emitting phosphor, and a phosphor-mixed resin layer containing a red emitting phosphor.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the color conversion laminate is formed by sequentially depositing the phosphor-mixed resin layer containing a blue emitting phosphor, the phosphor-mixed resin layer containing a green emitting phosphor, and the phosphor-mixed resin layer containing a red emitting phosphor, from a location adjacent to the plurality of light emitting diodes.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of phosphor-mixed resin layers are formed by mixing phosphor powders providing light having different wavelengths, respectively, with one of an epoxy-based resin and a silicone-based resin.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises an inner surface formed of a reflective surface.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of phosphor-mixed resin layers include a blue phosphor-mixed resin layer containing a blue emitting phosphor, a green phosphor-mixed resin layer containing a green-emitting phosphor, and a red phosphor-mixed resin layer containing a red emitting phosphor, and the blue phosphor-mixed resin layer, the green phosphor-mixed resin layer and the red-phosphor-mixed resin layer are positioned in that order from a position adjacent to the plurality of light emitting diodes.
