Abstract

A light-emitting device of an embodiment of the present application comprises optoelectronic units; a transparent structure having cavities configured to accommodate at least one of the optoelectronic units; and a conductive element connecting at least two of the optoelectronic units.

Claims (32)

1 . A light-emitting device, comprising:

optoelectronic units;

a transparent structure having cavities configured to accommodate at least one of the optoelectronic units; and

a conductive element connecting at least two of the optoelectronic units.

2 . The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive element has a portion arranged on the transparent structure between two of the cavities.

3 . The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent structure comprises an organic material, an inorganic material, or both thereof.

4 . The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent structure is flexible.

5 . The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a melting point of the transparent structure is higher than an operation temperature of the light-emitting device.

6 . The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent structure comprises a rough surface having a protrusion corresponding to one of the optoelectronic units.

7 . The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a supporting structure formed on the transparent structure.

8 . The light-emitting device of claim 7 , wherein the supporting structure comprises one or more transparent materials.

9 . The light-emitting device of claim 7 , wherein the supporting structure has hardness greater than that of the transparent structure.

10 . The light-emitting device of claim 7 , wherein the supporting structure has a thickness between 100 μm and 700 μm.

11 . The light-emitting device of claim 7 , wherein the supporting structure has a rough surface.

12 . The light-emitting device of claim 7 , wherein the supporting structure comprises a protrusion corresponding to one of the optoelectronic units.

13 . The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a reflective layer formed on the transparent structure between two of the cavities.

14 . The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a first terminal and a second terminal which are arranged on one end of the transparent structure.

15 . The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a first wavelength converting material formed on one surface of the optoelectronic unit.

16 . The light-emitting device of claim 15 , wherein the first wavelength converting material comprises a yellow phosphor.

17 . The light-emitting device of claim 15 , further comprising a second wavelength converting material formed on another surface of the optoelectronic unit, wherein the second wavelength converting material is different from the first wavelength converting material.

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

a tube inside which the transparent structure and the optoelectronic units are arranged.

19 . The light-emitting device of claim 18 , wherein an emanating side of the optoelectronic unit is parallel to a central axis of the tube.

20 . The light-emitting device of claim 18 , wherein an emanating side of the optoelectronic unit is perpendicular to a central axis of the tube.

21 . The light-emitting device of claim 18 , wherein the tube comprises a rough surface.

22 . The light-emitting device of claim 18 , wherein the tube is filled with air, a transparent material, or both thereof.

23 . The light-emitting device of claim 18 , further comprising a wavelength converting material formed between the tube and the optoelectronic units or formed on the tube.

24 . The light-emitting device of claim 18 , wherein the shape of the tube comprises blade-like shape, flower-like shape, branch-like shape, vein-like shape, cylinder shape, U-shape, or arc shape.

25 . The light-emitting device of claim 18 , further comprising a cover covering one or more tubes, wherein the cover comprises glass or plastic.

26 . The light-emitting device of claim 24 , wherein the tubes are arranged in a cone shape viewed from perspective.

27 . The light-emitting device of claim 24 , further comprising a circuit board and a plurality of sockets, wherein the socket comprises a tilted top surface.

28 . The light-emitting device of claim 27 , wherein the plurality of sockets is arranged in a polygon pattern.
