Abstract

A light-emitting device, having an overall color temperature when emitting light, includes a carrier, a first LED unit, and a second LED unit. The carrier has a circuit. The first LED unit is arranged on the carrier and has a first color temperature. The second LED unit is spaced apart from the first LED unit by a space, and electrically connected to first LED unit and the circuit. The first LED unit and the second LED unit, and each includes a light-emitting body and a wavelength conversion layer covering the light-emitting body. The first color temperature is different from the overall color temperature.

Claims (21)

1. A light-emitting device, having an overall color temperature when emitting light, comprising:

a carrier comprising a circuit;

a first LED unit arranged on the carrier and having a first color temperature when emitting light; and

a second LED unit spaced apart from the first LED unit by a space, and electrically connected to first LED unit and the circuit,

wherein the first LED unit and the second LED unit, each comprises a light-emitting body and a wavelength conversion layer covering the light-emitting body,

wherein the first color temperature is different from the overall color temperature.

2. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the space is ranged from 0.15 mm to 8 mm.

3. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the space is not greater than 2 mm.

4. The light-emitting device of claim 3 , wherein the overall color temperature and the first color temperature have a difference of not less than 160 K, provided the overall color temperature is ranged from 5700 K to 6500 K.

5. The light-emitting device of claim 3 , wherein the overall color temperature and the first color temperature have a difference of not less than 5 K, provided the overall color temperature is ranged from 2700K to 3000K.

6. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the overall color temperature is higher than the first color temperature.

7. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting device has a flux of radiation which is increased with increase of the space.

8. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting device has a luminous flux variation of about 0.2%˜3.0%.

9. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the overall color temperature has a change of about 25K˜340K in response to a variation of the space.

10. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first LED unit can emit a light towards the second LED unit.

11. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the wavelength conversion layer of the first LED unit or the second LED unit has a width substantially equal to the space.

12. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first LED unit and the second LED unit, each further comprises a first transparent structure covering the light-emitting body.

13. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first LED unit and the second LED unit, each further comprises a conductive portion arranged between the light-emitting body and the carrier.

14. The light-emitting device of claim 13 , wherein the LED unit and the second LED unit, each further comprises a reflective layer arranged on the light-emitting body and surrounding the conductive portion.

15. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first LED unit and the second LED unit are electrically connected to each other in series.

16. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first LED unit and the second LED unit are electrically connected to each other in parallel.
