Abstract

A lighting bulb according to embodiments of the disclosure comprises a light source assembly, a base and a transparent top cap. The light source assembly has a carrier plate, a first plurality of light-emitting units and a second plurality of light-emitting units. The carrier plate has first and second surfaces. The base is for fixing the carrier plate to have the first surface facing to a first direction and the second surface facing to a second direction opposite to the first direction. The transparent top cap has an inner surface facing to a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. The first and second plurality of light-emitting units are located between the transparent top cap and the base.

Claims (23)

1. A lighting bulb, comprising:

a light source assembly, including:

a carrier plate, having a first surface and a second surface;

a first plurality of light-emitting units mounted on the first surface; and

a second plurality of light-emitting units mounted on the second surface;

a base for fixing the carrier plate, thereby the first surface faced to a first direction and the second surface faced to a second direction, the first direction opposite to the second direction; and

a transparent top cap having an inner surface facing a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions, the first and second plurality of light-emitting units located between the transparent top cap and the base, wherein the transparent top cap refracts or scatters the light emitted from the first and second plurality of light-emitting units,

wherein the transparent top cap is not overlapped over the first plurality of light-emitting units in the first direction and the second plurality of light-emitting units in the second direction.

2. The lighting bulb of claim 1 , wherein each of the first plurality of light-emitting units mainly emits light in the first direction; each of the second plurality of light-emitting units mainly emits light in the second direction.

3. The lighting bulb of claim 1 , wherein none of the first plurality of light-emitting units has the third direction as a main illumination direction.

4. The lighting bulb of claim 1 , wherein the first and second plurality of light-emitting units are surface mounted LED.

5. The lighting bulb of claim 1 , wherein the base includes two side frames and the carrier plate is fixed between the two side frames.

6. The lighting bulb of claim 5 , wherein the base includes a bottom body, the side frames and the bottom body are integrally formed.

7. The lighting bulb of claim 1 , wherein the transparent top cap includes a plurality of micro-lens areas and each of the plurality of micro-lens areas includes a plurality of recessed optical structures.

8. The lighting bulb of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of light-emitting units form a light emitting area on the first surface; the light emitting area has a light emitting center; the transparent top cap has a first side; a radiation angle is defined by the first side, the light emitting center and the first direction; the radiation angle is not greater than 67 degrees.

9. The lighting bulb of claim 1 , wherein the base is made of thermal conductive plastic.

10. The lighting bulb of claim 1 , wherein the base includes a plurality of pins.

11. The lighting bulb of claim 1 , wherein the carrier plate is a PCB circuit board.

12. The lighting bulb of claim 11 , further comprising a light source driving circuit disposed on the PCB circuit board, enclosed by the base, for driving the first and second plurality of light-emitting units.

13. The lighting bulb of claim 12 , wherein the light source driving circuit is a single-stage linear driver.

14. The lighting bulb of claim 1 , further comprising a first transparent side cover over the first plurality of light-emitting units and a second transparent side cover over the second plurality of light-emitting units.

15. The lighting bulb of claim 14 , wherein the first transparent side cover is identical to the second transparent side cover.

16. The lighting bulb of claim 14 , wherein the transparent top cap comprises a first latch groove and a second latch groove for fixing the first transparent side cover and the second transparent side respectively.
