Abstract

A light-emitting apparatus is provided which can improve the reflectance of light in the emission wavelength region of the LED. The light-emitting apparatus includes a mount board constituted by a metal support, a circuit board provided with an opening and fixed onto the mount board, a multi-layered film containing silver as a light-reflecting material, the multi-layered film being stacked on the mount board exposed in the opening, exclusive of a portion of the mount board onto which the circuit board is fixed, and an LED element mounted on the multi-layered film.

Claims (25)

1. A light-emitting apparatus comprising:

a mount board constituted by a metal support;

a circuit board provided with an opening and fixed onto the mount board;

a multi-layered film containing silver as a light-reflecting material, the multi-layered film being stacked on the mount board exposed in the opening, exclusive of a portion of the mount board onto which the circuit board is fixed; and

an LED element mounted on the multi-layered film,

wherein the mount board has a light reflectance of more than or equal to 95% in a whole emission wavelength region of the LED element.

2. A light-emitting apparatus comprising:

a mount board constituted by a metal support;

a circuit board provided with an opening and fixed onto the mount board;

a multi-layered film containing silver as a light-reflecting material, the multi-layered film being stacked on the mount board exposed in the opening, exclusive of a portion of the mount board onto which the circuit board is fixed; and

an LED element mounted on the multi-layered film,

wherein the multi-layered film comprises a nickel layer, a silver layer, an aluminum oxide layer, a silicon dioxide layer and a titanium oxide layer in the mentioned order from the side closer to the mount board.

3. The light-emitting apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the silicon dioxide layer and the titanium oxide layer are alternately stacked multiple times on the side further from the mount board.

4. A light-emitting apparatus comprising:

a mount board constituted by a metal support;

a circuit board provided with an opening and fixed onto the mount board;

a multi-layered film containing silver as a light-reflecting material, the multi-layered film being stacked on the mount board exposed in the opening, exclusive of a portion of the mount board onto which the circuit board is fixed; and

an LED element mounted on the multi-layered film,

wherein the mount board comprises, on a support made of aluminum as the metal support, a second multi-layered film comprising an aluminum oxide layer, an aluminum layer, a silicon dioxide layer and a titanium oxide layer stacked in the mentioned order from the side closer to the support.

5. A method of manufacturing a light-emitting apparatus, comprising the steps of:

(a) fixing onto a mount board constituted by a metal support, a circuit board provided with an opening;

(b) stacking a multi-layered film containing silver as a light-reflecting material on the mount board exposed in the opening, exclusive of a portion of the mount board onto which the circuit board is fixed; and

(c) mounting an LED element on the multi-layered film,

wherein the multi-layered film comprises a nickel layer, a silver layer, an aluminum oxide layer, a silicon dioxide layer and a titanium oxide layer in the mentioned order from the side closer to the mount board.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein a layer containing silver as a light-reflecting material is fabricated by vapor deposition in step (b).
