Abstract

Disclosed is a light-emitting device which comprises: a light-emitting element for emitting a first light in a blue wavelength band; a first wavelength converter for converting the first light into a second light; a second wavelength converter for converting the first light into a third light; and a third wavelength converter for converting the first light into a fourth light, wherein the first to fourth lights have central wavelengths which satisfy the following relationship: [Expression 1] λ1<λ2<λ3<λ4 (wherein λ1 is the central wavelength of the first light; λ2 is the central wavelength of the second light; λ3 is the central wavelength of the third light; and λ4 is the central wavelength of the fourth light.).

Claims (29)

1. A light emitting device comprising:

a light emitting element which emits a first light beam having a blue wavelength band;

a first wavelength converter which converts the first light beam to a second light beam;

a second wavelength converter which converts the first light beam to a third light beam; and

a third wavelength converter which converts the first light beam to a fourth light beam,

wherein the first light beam has a central wavelength in a range of 446 nm to 454 nm, or in a range of 455 nm to 460 nm,

wherein the second light beam has a central wavelength in a range of 480 nm to 500 nm,

wherein the third light beam has a central wavelength in a range of 510 nm to 550 nm,

wherein the first to the fourth light beams are mixed to form a white light,

wherein the second wavelength converter includes Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce 3+ , and

wherein

when the central wavelength of the first light beam is in the range of 446 nm to 454 nm,

a first weight ratio of the first wavelength converter to the second wavelength converter is in a range of 1:4 to 1:15, and

a second weight ratio of the first wavelength converter to the third wavelength converter is in a range of 1:0.84 to 1:4.84, the first weight ratio being larger than the second weight ratio, and

when the central wavelength of the first light beam is in the range of 455 nm to 460 nm,

a third weight ratio of the first wavelength converter to the second wavelength converter is in a range of 1:7 to 1:8, and

a fourth weight ratio of the first wavelength converter to the third wavelength converter is in a range of 1:1.18 to 1:1.52, the third weight ratio being larger than the fourth weight ratio.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the white light is emitted by the light emitting device, and a color rendering index (CRI) value of R12 thereof is at least 80.

3. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first wavelength converter is expressed with

M x(1-p) Si y O z N (2x+4y-2z)/3 ;Eu 2+

wherein

M is at least one element selected from Ca, Sr, and Ba,

x is in a range of 0.7 to 1.2,
