Abstract

The light-emitting device of the present invention includes LED chips provided on a ceramic substrate and a sealing material in which the LED chips are embedded. The sealing material contains a fluorescent substance and divided into a first fluorescent-substance-containing resin layer and a second fluorescent-substance-containing resin layer by a first resin ring and a second resin ring.

Claims (33)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting elements and a patterned electrode wire provided on a substrate;

a sealing material in which the plurality of light-emitting elements are embedded; and

a pair of electrode lands for supplying electricity to the plurality of light-emitting elements, the pair of electrode lands being connected to the patterned electrode wire, wherein:

some of the plurality of light-emitting elements are electrically connected to the patterned electrode wire,

the substrate has an unsealed area which is not sealed with the sealing material, the unsealed area being wider at corners of the substrate,

the pair of electrode lands is provided in the unsealed area at the corners of the substrate so as to face each other with respect to a light-emitting element area in which the plurality of light-emitting elements are provided, and

the sealing material is divided into a plurality of areas by a partition wall, wherein at least one of the plurality of areas differs in chromaticity from others of the plurality of areas, and wherein

the sealing material is made of a silicon resin.

2. An illuminating device comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 1 .

3. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein partition walls each of which has a circular shape or a cyclic polygonal shape surround a partition wall.

4. An illuminating device comprising a light-emitting device,

the light-emitting device including:

a substrate;

a plurality of light-emitting elements provided on the substrate; and

a sealing material in which the plurality of light-emitting elements are embedded, wherein

the sealing material is divided into a plurality of areas by a partition wall,

the partition wall has a circular shape or a cyclic polygonal shape when the substrate is viewed from above,

the substrate is further provided with a first electrode land for external connection and a second electrode land for external connection which (i) are respectively provided on both end areas of the substrate and (ii) are not covered with the sealing material, and

said illuminating device has a circular shape when viewed from a light emitting face of the light-emitting device, wherein

at least one of the plurality of areas differs in chromaticity from others of the plurality of areas, and wherein

the sealing material is made of a silicon resin.

5. An illuminating device comprising a light-emitting device,

the light-emitting device including:

a substrate;

a plurality of light-emitting elements provided on the substrate; and

a sealing material in which the plurality of light-emitting elements are embedded, wherein

the sealing material is divided into a plurality of areas by a partition wall,

the partition wall has a circular shape or a cyclic polygonal shape when the substrate is viewed from above,

the substrate is further provided with a first electrode land for external connection and a second electrode land for external connection which (i) are respectively provided on both end areas of the substrate and (ii) are not covered with the sealing material, and

an external lens for adjusting a light distribution characteristic is provided directly above the light-emitting device, wherein

at least one of the plurality of areas differs in chromaticity from others of the plurality of areas, and wherein

the sealing material is made of a silicon resin.
