Abstract

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

Claims (23)

1. A light-emitting device, comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting units, each comprising a substrate, a first electrode, a second electrode, a lateral surface, and a bottom surface, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are disposed on a top surface opposite to the bottom surface, and each substrate is separated from an adjacent substrate;

a transparent structure covering the lateral surface and the bottom surface of each of the plurality of light-emitting units;

a reflective layer arranged on the transparent structure; and

a conductive element arranged on the reflective layer, connecting at least two of the plurality of light-emitting units;

wherein the conductive element is higher than the first electrode on an entire region between adjacent light-emitting units in a cross-sectional view.

2. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent structure comprises a protrusion corresponding to one of the plurality of light-emitting units.

3. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a supporting structure formed on a surface of the transparent structure opposite to the topmost surface.

4. The light-emitting device of claim 3 , wherein the supporting structure comprises one or more transparent materials.

5. The light-emitting device of claim 3 , wherein the supporting structure has a hardness greater than that of the transparent structure.

6. The light-emitting device of claim 3 wherein the supporting structure has a thickness between 100 μm and 700 μm.

7. The light-emitting device of claim 3 , wherein the supporting structure has an upper surface which is opposite to the topmost surface and has a plurality of protrusions.

8. The light-emitting device of claim 3 , wherein the supporting structure comprises a protrusion corresponding to one of the plurality of light-emitting units.

9. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective layer on the transparent structure extends between two of the plurality of light-emitting units.

10. 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.

11. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a first wavelength converting material disposed between the transparent structure and one of the plurality of light-emitting units.

12. The light-emitting device of claim 11 , further comprising a second wavelength converting material disposed between the transparent structure and another one of the plurality of light-emitting units, wherein the second wavelength converting material is different from the first wavelength converting material.

13. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a tube inside which the transparent structure and the light-emitting units are arranged.

14. The light-emitting device of claim 13 , wherein the light-emitting units comprises an emanating side parallel to a central axis of the tube.

15. The light-emitting device of claim 13 , wherein the light-emitting units comprises an emanating side perpendicular to a central axis of the tube.

16. The light-emitting device of claim 13 , wherein the tube is filled with air, a transparent material, or both thereof.

17. The light-emitting device of claim 13 , further comprising a wavelength converting material formed in the tube.

18. The light-emitting device of claim 17 , wherein the shape of the tube comprises blade shape, flower shape, branch shape, vein shape, cylinder shape, U-shape, or arc shape.
