Abstract

The present invention relates to a light emitting apparatus comprising at least one light emitting device and a support mechanism. The light emitting device includes a transparent substrate which light can pass through; at least one LED chip emitting light omni-directionally is disposed on one surface of the substrate, and the light emitted by the LED chip will penetrate into the substrate and at least partially emerge from another surface of the substrate. The support mechanism is coupled to the light emitting device; a first angle is formed between the substrate and the support mechanism. According to the present invention, the light emitting apparatus using LED chips can provide sufficient lighting intensity and uniform lighting performance.

Claims (27)

1. A light emitting apparatus, comprising:

at least one light emitting device, including:

a substrate, having a support surface; and

at least one light emitting diode chip comprising a plurality of light emitting surfaces, disposed on said support surface of said substrate, one of said light emitting surfaces and said support surface forming a first main surface, wherein a light emitting angle of said light emitting diode chip is wider than 180°, and a portion of light emitted by said light emitting diode chip penetrates into said substrate from said support surface and emerges from a second main surface of said substrate opposing said first main surface; and

a support base, coupled to said light emitting device, and forming a first angle with said substrate.

2. The light emitting apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a wavelength conversion layer disposed on said first main surface and/or on said second main surface of said light emitting device, wherein said wavelength conversion layer receives at least a portion of the light emitted by said light emitting diode chip and converts the wavelength thereof.

3. The light emitting apparatus of claim 2 , wherein said wavelength conversion layer does not contact said light emitting diode chip.

4. The light emitting apparatus of claim 2 , wherein said wavelength conversion layer is disposed on said first main surface and said second main surface, and the ratio of the fluorescent powder contained in said wavelength conversion layer located on different surfaces ranges from 1:05 to 1:3.

5. The light emitting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the difference between the color temperature of said first main surface and the color temperature of said second main surface is equal to or less than 1500K.

6. The light emitting apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a lamp housing, wherein at least a portion of said light emitting device is disposed in the room formed by said lamp housing.

7. The light emitting apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a wavelength conversion layer disposed on said lamp housing.

8. The light emitting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said lamp housing is coupled with said support base and at least partially covers said light emitting device.

9. The light emitting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said lamp housing is a tube, a bulb, or a box.

10. The light emitting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said lamp housing has at least one surface, and a second angle is formed between said surface and said first main surface or said second main surface of said light emitting device, said second angle ranging from 0° to 45°.

11. The light emitting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a distance is formed between said lamp housing and said substrate, and said distance is greater than 500 μm.

12. The light emitting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said first angle ranges from 30° to 150°.

13. The light emitting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the number of said light emitting device is more than one and the arrangement of said light emitting devices is symmetrical.

14. The light emitting apparatus of claim 13 , wherein said arrangement is point- or line-symmetrical.

15. The light emitting apparatus of claim 1 , and further comprising a circuit board connected electrically to both said light emitting device and said support base.

16. The light emitting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said support base includes a flexible metal compound.

17. The light emitting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said support base includes a support member and said light emitting device is disposed on said support member.

18. The light emitting apparatus of claim 17 , further comprising a bonding layer coupling said light emitting device to said support member, wherein the material of said bonding layer is selected from the group consisting of gold, tin, indium, bismuth, silver, silicone, and epoxy resin.

19. The light emitting apparatus of claim 17 , wherein said support member is flexible.

20. The light emitting apparatus of claim 17 , wherein said support member is retractable.

21. The light emitting apparatus of claim 17 , wherein said support member is rotatable.

22. The light emitting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the material of said substrate is selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, sapphire, glass, plastics, and rubber.

23. The light emitting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of said substrate is greater than or equal to 200 μm.
