Abstract

A light source module is provided. The light source module includes a lead frame, a light source, a cup part, and a reflector. The light source is disposed on the lead frame, wherein the light source provides a light. The cup part is disposed on the lead frame, wherein the cup part includes an opening, a plurality of thick-wall portions and a plurality of thin-wall portions. The thick-wall portions and the thin-wall portions surround the light source and define a space. The reflector covers the opening. At least a portion of the light is reflected by the reflector, and is emitted through the thick-wall portions and the thin-wall portions.

Claims (34)

1. A light source module, comprising:

a lead frame;

a light source, disposed on the lead frame, wherein the light source provides a light;

a cup part, disposed on the lead frame, wherein the cup part comprises an opening, a plurality of thick-wall portions and a plurality of thin-wall portions, the thick-wall portions and the thin-wall portions surround the light source to define a space; and

a reflector, covering the opening, wherein at least a portion of the light is reflected by the reflector and is emitted through the thick-wall portions and the thin-wall portions,

wherein the shape of the cup part on the orthographic projection plane is rectangular, the thick-wall portions comprise a plurality of bent thick-wall portions, and the bent thick-wall portions are configured at corners of the cup part,

wherein the thin-wall portions comprise a plurality of straight thin-wall portions, and each straight thin-wall portion is located between two of the bent thick-wall portions,

wherein the thick-wall portions further comprise a plurality of straight thick-wall portions, and each straight thick-wall portion is located between two of the straight thin-wall portions.

2. The light source module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each thick-wall portion comprises a first inclined surface, each thin-wall portion comprises a second inclined surface, and a slope of the second inclined surface relative to the lead frame is greater than a slope of the first inclined surface relative to the lead frame.

3. The light source module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein on a lateral projection plane, an included angle is formed between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, and the included angle is between 2° ˜13°.

4. The light source module as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the included angle is between 5° ˜10°.

5. The light source module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a light transmittance of a material of the cup part is between 15%˜35%.

6. The light source module as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the light transmittance of the material of the cup part is between 22%˜30%.

7. The light source module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lead frame comprises a plurality of glue-fix holes, and the glue-fix holes are configured under the bent thick-wall portions.

8. The light source module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the reflector is embedded in the space.

9. The light source module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thick-wall portions and the thin-wall portions are configured in a staggered manner.

10. The light source module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a luminous flux of the thin-wall portions is greater than a luminous flux of the thick-wall portions when the light passes through the cup part.

11. A light source module, comprising:

a lead frame;

a light source, disposed on the lead frame, wherein the light source provides a light;

a cup part, disposed on the lead frame, wherein the cup part comprises an opening, a plurality of thick-wall portions and a plurality of thin-wall portions, the thick-wall portions and the thin-wall portions surround the light source to define a space; and

a reflector, covering the opening, wherein at least a portion of the light is reflected by the reflector and is emitted through the thick-wall portions and the thin-wall portions,

wherein each thick-wall portion comprises a first inclined surface, each thin-wall portion comprises a second inclined surface, and a slope of the second inclined surface relative to the lead frame is greater than a slope of the first inclined surface relative to the lead frame, and

wherein on a lateral projection plane, an included angle is formed between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, and the included angle is between 2° ˜13°.

12. The light source module as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the shape of the cup part on the orthographic projection plane is rectangular, the thick-wall portions comprise a plurality of bent thick-wall portions, and the bent thick-wall portions are configured at corners of the cup part.

13. The light source module as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the thin-wall portions comprise a plurality of straight thin-wall portions, and each straight thin-wall portion is located between two of the bent thick-wall portions.

14. The light source module as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the thick-wall portions further comprise a plurality of straight thick-wall portions, and each straight thick-wall portion is located between two of the straight thin-wall portions.

15. The light source module as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the lead frame comprises a plurality of glue-fix holes, and the glue-fix holes are configured under the bent thick-wall portions.

16. The light source module as claimed in claim 11 , wherein a light transmittance of a material of the cup part is between 15%˜35%.

17. The light source module as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the light transmittance of the material of the cup part is between 22%˜30%.

18. The light source module as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the included angle is between 5° ˜10°.

19. The light source module as claimed in claim 11 , wherein at least a portion of the reflector is embedded in the space.

20. The light source module as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the thick-wall portions and the thin-wall portions are configured in a staggered manner.

21. The light source module as claimed in claim 11 , wherein a luminous flux of the thin-wall portions is greater than a luminous flux of the thick-wall portions when the light passes through the cup part.
