Abstract

A light emitting device includes a substrate, a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate, and a plurality of light reflecting members disposed on the substrate. The light reflecting members respectively include wall parts each surrounding each of the light sources individually or two or more of the light sources in groups. Two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members are joined to each other such that outer surfaces of the wall parts of the two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members are bonded to each other via an adhesive agent.

Claims (58)

1. A light emitting device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate; and

a plurality of light reflecting members disposed on the substrate, the light reflecting members respectively including wall parts each surrounding each of the light sources individually or two or more of the light sources in groups, wherein

two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members are joined to each other such that outer surfaces of the wall parts of the two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members are bonded to each other via an adhesive agent,

at least one of the wall parts defines a hollow part with a first opening on a substrate side of the light reflecting members,

in a boundary region between the two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members joined to each other, the hollow part is defined by the outer surfaces of the wall parts being bonded to each other via the adhesive agent,

the substrate includes a through hole penetrating through the substrate in a thickness direction, the through hole defining a second opening at an upper surface of the substrate, and

the second opening is positioned inner than the first opening.

2. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the wall parts of the two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members joined to each other respectively have end surfaces in contact with each other at top parts of the wall parts without interposing the adhesive agent therebetween.

3. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light reflecting members each include a bottom surface part disposed on the substrate.

4. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the adhesive agent is configured to reflect light emitted from the light sources.

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

the adhesive agent is configured to absorb light emitted from the light sources.

6. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light sources are arranged at intervals in a range of 5 mm to 25 mm.

7. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the wall parts are arranged at intervals in a range of 5 mm to 25 mm.

8. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a member disposed above the light reflecting members, wherein

a top part of each of the wall parts of the light reflecting members is in contact with the member disposed above the light reflecting members.

9. The light emitting device according to claim 8 , wherein

the member is a light diffusing member.

10. The light emitting device according to claim 9 , further comprising

a wavelength conversion member disposed on a light emitting side of the light diffusing member.

11. The light emitting device according to claim 8 , wherein

the member is a wavelength conversion member.

12. The light emitting device according to claim 11 , wherein

the member further includes a half mirror disposed on a light incident side of the wavelength conversion member, the half mirror being configured to reflect a part of incident light and transmit a part of the incident light.

13. The light emitting device according to claim 11 , wherein

the member further includes a prism sheet disposed on a light emitting side of the wavelength conversion member.

14. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

a top part of each of the wall parts of the light reflecting members is planar.

15. The light emitting device according to claim 8 , wherein

a top part of each of the wall parts of the light reflecting members is planar.

16. The light emitting device according to claim 8 , wherein

the second opening has a circular shape in a top view.

17. A light emitting device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate; and

a plurality of light reflecting members disposed on the substrate, the light reflecting members respectively including wall parts each surrounding each of the light sources individually or two or more of the light sources in groups, wherein

two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members are joined to each other such that outer surfaces of the wall parts of the two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members are bonded to each other via an adhesive agent with the adhesive agent continuously extending between the outer surfaces of the wall parts of the two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members so as to be in contact with both of the outer surfaces of the wall parts of the two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members,

a top part of each of the wall parts of the light reflecting members is planar,

the substrate includes a through hole penetrating through the substrate in a thickness direction, the through hole defining an opening at an upper surface of the substrate, and

the opening has a circular shape in a top view.

18. A light emitting device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate;

a plurality of light reflecting members disposed on the substrate, the light reflecting members respectively including wall parts each surrounding each of the light sources individually or two or more of the light sources in groups; and

a member disposed above the light reflecting members, wherein

two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members are joined to each other such that outer surfaces of the wall parts of the two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members are bonded to each other via an adhesive agent with the adhesive agent continuously extending between the outer surfaces of the wall parts of the two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members so as to be in contact with both of the outer surfaces of the wall parts of the two adjacent ones of the light reflecting members,

a top part of each of the wall parts of the light reflecting members is in contact with the member disposed above the light reflecting members,

the top part of each of the wall parts of the light reflecting members is planar,

the substrate includes a through hole penetrating through the substrate in a thickness direction, the through hole defining an opening at an upper surface of the substrate, and

the opening has a circular shape in a top view.
