Abstract

Provided is a light emitting device and light unit using the same. The light emitting device comprises: a body including a horizontal surface; an insulating layer over at least a portion of the horizontal surface; an electrode over at least a portion of the insulating layer; a heat radiation member formed within the body and protruding from the horizontal surface, the heat radiation member comprising two or more surfaces that are inclined with respect to the horizontal surface; and two or more light emitting diodes, wherein each of the two or more light emitting diodes is mounted on a respective one of the two or more inclined surfaces, and wherein each of the two or more light emitting diodes is electrically connected to the electrode.

Claims (31)

1. A light emitting device comprising:

a body including a cavity having a horizontal bottom surface;

an insulating layer on a surface of the body;

an electrode over at least a portion of the insulating layer;

a heat radiation mounting part formed in the cavity and protruding from the horizontal bottom surface, the heat radiation mounting part comprising two or more surfaces that are inclined with respect to the horizontal bottom surface; and

two or more light emitting diodes, wherein each of the two or more light emitting diodes is mounted on a respective one of the two or more inclined surfaces, and wherein each of the two or more light emitting diodes is electrically connected to the electrode.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the heat radiation mounting part is thermally connected to each of the two or more light emitting diodes.

3. The light emitting device of claim 2 , wherein the body further comprises an opening through a rear portion thereof, opposite the horizontal surface, and wherein the heat radiation member is exposed through the opening.

4. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer is formed of silicon oxide.

5. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the heat radiation mounting part comprises at least three inclined surfaces, and wherein the portion of the heat radiation mounting part that includes the at least three inclined surfaces has a pyramidal shape.

6. The light emitting device of claim 5 , wherein the portion of the heat radiation mounting part that includes the at least three inclined surfaces has a truncated pyramidal shape that includes a horizontal surface which shares a common edge with each of the at least three inclined surfaces.

7. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein each of the inclined surfaces has a slope greater than 0° and less than or equal to 30° with respect to the horizontal surface.

8. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein each of the two or more light emitting diodes has an orientation angle that depends upon the slope of the respective inclined surface on which it is mounted.

9. The light emitting device of claim 1 further comprising:

a lens over the two or more light emitting diodes.

10. The light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a reflective layer disposing on the insulating layer in the cavity.

11. The light emitting device of claim 10 , wherein the reflective layer is disposed on the insulating layer corresponding to an inclined region of the cavity.

12. A light emitting device comprising:

a body including a cavity having a horizontal bottom surface;

an insulating layer on a surface of the body;

a reflective layer disposed on the insulating layer in the cavity;

an electrode disposed in the body;

a heat radiation member formed in the cavity and protruding from the horizontal bottom surface, the heat radiation member comprising a mounting part that includes two surfaces that are inclined with respect to the horizontal bottom surface; and

two or more light emitting diodes, wherein each of the two or more light emitting diodes is mounted on a respective one of the two or more inclined surfaces, and wherein each of the two or more light emitting diodes is electrically connected to the electrode.

13. The light emitting device of claim 12 , wherein the mounting part has a pyramidal shape comprising at least three inclined surfaces.

14. The light emitting device of claim 13 , wherein the mounting part has a truncated pyramidal shape that includes a horizontal surface which shares a common edge with each of the at least three inclined surfaces.

15. The light emitting device of claim 12 , wherein each of the two or more light emitting diodes has an orientation angle that depends upon the slope of the respective inclined surface on which it is mounted.

16. The light emitting device of claim 12 further comprising:

a lens over the two or more light emitting diodes.

17. The light emitting device of claim 12 , wherein the reflective layer is disposed on the insulating layer corresponding to an inclined region of the cavity.
