Abstract

A light source device includes a LED package, a container where the LED package is arranged and that is filled with nitrogen gas, and a fluorine-based coating film applied on a surface of the LED package and covering a light exit surface of the LED package. The LED package includes a LED element, a base board on which the LED element is mounted, a peripheral wall portion surrounding the LED element and extending from the base board, sealing resin disposed in an inner space within the peripheral wall portion such that the LED element is sealed with the sealing resin, and the light exit surface that is a surface of the sealing resin surrounded by the peripheral wall portion. Light from the LED element is exited outside the sealing resin through the light exit surface.

Claims (25)

1. A light source device comprising:

a LED package including

a LED element,

a base board on which the LED element is mounted,

a peripheral wall portion surrounding the LED element and extending from the base board,

sealing resin disposed in an inner space within the peripheral wall portion such that the LED element is sealed with the sealing resin, and

a light exit surface that is a surface of the sealing resin surrounded by the peripheral wall portion, the light exit surface through which light from the LED element is exited outside the sealing resin,

a container where the LED package is arranged and that is filled with nitrogen gas; and

a fluorine-based coating film applied on a surface of the LED package and covering the light exit surface, wherein

the LED element includes a gallium nitride base semiconductor,

the fluorine-based coating film is made of coating agent comprising a fluorine-based copolymer that is obtained by random polymerization of a monomer composition containing methacrylic acid ester represented by a following general formula (1) in 49% by mass or more and 74% by mass or less, alkyl(meth)acrylate represented by a following general formula (2) in 16% by mass or more and 31% by mass or less, and fluorine-containing monomer represented by a following general formula (3) in 1% by mass or more and 33% by mass or less, and a solvent including one or more selected from hydrofluorocarbon with a carbon number of 4 to 8 and hydrofluoroether with a carbon number of 4 to 8, the fluorine-based copolymer having the number-average molecular weight in the range of 20,000 to 100,000:

wherein, in formula (1),

R 1 is a linear or branched chain alkyl group with a carbon number of 1 to 3;

wherein, in formula (2),

R 2 is hydrogen or a methyl group, and

R 3 is a linear or branched chain alkyl group with a carbon number of 4 to 8;

wherein, in formula (3),

R 4 is hydrogen or methyl group, and

n represents an integral number of 4 to 6.

2. The light source device according to claim 1 , further comprising a transmissive member that is disposed in a wall surface of the container and through which light from the LED package is passed from the container to outside.

3. The light source device according to claim 2 , wherein the transmissive member is a display screen that uses light from the LED package.

4. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorine-based coating film has thickness of 1 μm or more.

5. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein

the LED package includes phosphors that are dispersed in the sealing resin and absorb light from the LED element and emits light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the light from the LED element.

6. The light source device according to claim 1 , further comprising a supply part supplying nitrogen gas into the container.
