Abstract

An object is to provide an LED module that eliminates the need for providing electrodes between each device and allows LEDs to be arrayed with high density. An LED module includes a substrate, a first frame member, a second frame member disposed outside the first frame member, a plurality of LEDs for producing white light disposed within the first frame member, a phosphor resin disposed within the first frame member, a plurality of LEDs for producing colored light disposed between the first frame member and the second frame member, and electrodes for applying a voltage to the plurality of LEDs for producing the white light, wherein a metal wire to connect the plurality of LEDs for producing the colored light to one another is disposed so as to straddle a part of each of the electrodes.

Claims (18)

1. An LED module comprising:

a substrate;

a first frame member;

a second frame member disposed outside the first frame member;

a plurality of LEDs for producing white light disposed within the first frame member and on the substrate;

a phosphor resin disposed within the first frame member to protect the plurality of LEDs for producing the white light;

a plurality of LEDs for producing colored light disposed between the first frame member and the second frame member and on the substrate; and

electrodes for applying a voltage to the plurality of LEDs for producing white light,

wherein a part of each of the electrodes is disposed between the first frame member and the second frame member, and

wherein a metal wire for connecting the plurality of LEDs for producing the colored light to one another is disposed in such a manner as to straddle the parts of the electrodes disposed between the first frame member and the second frame member.

2. The LED module according to claim 1 ,

Wherein the plurality of LEDs for producing colored light include red LEDs, green LEDs, and blue LEDs,

further comprising red electrodes for applying a voltage to the red LEDs, green electrodes for applying a voltage to the green LEDs, and blue electrodes for applying a voltage to the blue LEDs,

wherein the red metal wire for connecting the red LEDs to one another is disposed in such a manner as to straddle the green electrodes and the blue electrodes.

3. The LED module according to claim 1 , wherein the red metal wire is disposed in such a manner as to straddle the green electrodes and the blue electrodes via metal bumps.

4. The LED module according to claim 2 , wherein a resist resin for protection is disposed between the red metal wire and the green electrode and between the red metal wire and the blue electrode.

5. The LED module according to claim 1 , wherein the first frame member and the second frame member are concentrically disposed on the substrate.

6. The LED module according to claim 1 , wherein another part of each of the electrodes for applying the voltage to the plurality of LEDs for producing the white light is disposed under the first frame member, and the plurality of LEDs for producing the white light are connected to the parts of the electrodes disposed under the first frame member by the metal wire.
