Abstract

Disclosed are an AC light emitting device with a long-persistent phosphor and an AC light emitting device module having the same. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting device includes a first light emitting diode chip and a second light emitting diode chip, each of which has a plurality of light emitting cells on a single substrate. Further, a first long-persistent phosphor is positioned on the first light emitting diode chip to perform wavelength conversion for a portion of light emitted from the first light emitting diode chip; and a second long-persistent phosphor is positioned on the second light emitting diode chip to perform wavelength conversion for a portion of light emitted from the second light emitting diode chip. The afterglow luminescence resulted from the second long-persistent phosphor is allowed to be different from that resulted from the first long-persistent phosphor, whereby a flicker effect of the AC light emitting device can be more alleviated.

Claims (17)

1. An alternating current (AC) light emitting device, comprising:

a light emitting diode chip comprising light emitting cells and comprising an upper surface, the upper surface comprising a first region and a second region;

a first long-persistent phosphor configured to change a wavelength of light emitted from the light emitting diode chip; and

a second long-persistent phosphor configured to change a wavelength of light emitted from the light emitting diode chip,

wherein the first ling-persistent phosphor only covers the first region of the upper surface of the light emitting diode chip, and the second long-persistent phosphor only covers the second region of the upper surface of the light emitting diode chip,

wherein the amount of the second long-persistent phosphor is different from that of the first long-persistent phosphor,

wherein the first region of the upper surface of the light emitting diode chip does not directly contact the second region, and

wherein the decay times of the first long-persistent phosphor and the second long-persistent phosphor are in the range of 1 millisecond to several seconds, and the first long-persistent phosphor and the second long-persistent phosphor differ from each other in afterglow luminance periods.

2. The AC light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the long-persistent phosphors comprise one of (Zn,Cd)S:Cu, SrAl 2 O 4 :Eu,Dy, (Ca,Sr)S:Bi, ZnSiO 4 :Eu, (Sr,Zn,Eu,Pb,Dy)O.(Al,Bi) 2 O 3 , and m(Sr,Ba)O.n(Mg,M)O.2(Si,Ge)O 2 :Eu,Ln,
