Abstract

A light emitting apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a body including a cavity; an electrode of which one end is disposed in the cavity by penetrating the body and the other end is disposed outside of the body; a heat radiating member including a main frame which is coupled with the body to form the bottom of the cavity and a sub frame which extends from the main frame, wherein the top surface of the main frame has a larger area than the bottom surface of the main frame and the sub frame includes a slope; and a light emitting device installed on the heat radiating member and electrically connected with the electrode.

Claims (27)

1. A light emitting device, comprising:

a body including a cavity;

an electrode of which one end is disposed in the cavity by penetrating the body and the other end is disposed outside of the body;

a heat radiating member including a main frame and a sub frame, wherein the main frame is coupled with the body to form the bottom of the cavity and the sub frame extends from the main frame, wherein the uppermost surface of the main frame has a larger area than the lowermost surface of the main frame and the sub frame includes a slope; and

a light emitting diode installed on the heat radiating member and electrically connected with the electrode,

wherein a stepped section is formed on the inner surface of the body forming the cavity and juts into the cavity, and the one end of the electrode is disposed at the stepped section, and

wherein the slope of the sub frame is inclined upwards from the main frame.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the sub frame is exposed toward the side of the body.

3. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the heat radiating member is electrically separated from the electrode.

4. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the bottom of the main frame includes a first part which is disposed on the same horizontal surface as the bottom of the body and a second part which protrudes downwards from the first part.

5. The light emitting device of claim 4 , wherein the second part has a smaller width than the first part.

6. The light emitting device of claim 4 , wherein the second part protrudes from the first part by 0.1 to 3 mm.

7. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the heat radiating member includes a metallic material or a resin material.

8. The light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising an optical film disposed outside of the cavity and supported by the body.

9. The light emitting device of claim 8 , wherein the optical film is a phosphor luminescent film including a phosphor luminescent substance or a diffusion film.

10. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the other end of the electrode is disposed on the side of the body.

11. A light unit, comprising:

a light emitting device including a body including a cavity, an electrode of which one end is disposed in the cavity by penetrating the body and the other end is disposed outside of the body, a heat radiating member coupled with the body, of which at least a part protrudes downwards from the bottom of the body, and a light emitting diode installed on the heat radiating member and electrically connected with the electrode; and

a substrate disposed below the light emitting device, wherein at least a part of the heat radiating member is inserted into the substrate,

wherein the substrate includes a metallic layer, an insulation layer disposed on the metallic layer and having a through-hole to expose the metallic layer, and a circuit pattern formed on the insulation layer, and at least the part of the heat radiating member is inserted into the through-hole to directly contact the metallic layer.

12. The light unit of claim 11 , wherein the heat radiating member includes a main frame forming the bottom of the cavity and a sub frame extending from the main frame and exposed toward the side of the body.

13. The light unit of claim 12 , wherein the uppermost surface of the main frame has a larger area than the lowermost surface of the main frame and the sub frame includes a slope which is inclined upwards from the main frame.

14. The light unit of claim 12 , wherein the bottom of the main frame includes a first part which disposed on the same horizontal surface as the bottom of the body and a second part which protrudes downwards from the first part.

15. The light unit of claim 14 , wherein the second part has a smaller width than the first part and the second part protrudes from the first part by 0.1 to 3 mm.

16. The light unit of claim 11 , further comprising an optical film disposed outside of the cavity and supported by the body.

17. The light unit of claim 11 , wherein the substrate includes an insulation layer with a plated through-hole, and a circuit pattern formed on the insulation layer, and

at least the part of the heat radiating member is inserted into the plated through-hole.
