Abstract

A light-emitting module includes a carrier circuit board, a light-blocking wall, a light conversion medium layer, and multiple light-emitting chips. The multiple light-emitting chips are packaged on the carrier circuit board, and each light-emitting chip is configured to emit first color light. The light-blocking wall is on the carrier circuit board and surrounds the multiple light-emitting chips. The light conversion medium layer covers the multiple light-emitting chips and part of the carrier circuit board in a space enclosed by the light-blocking wall. The light conversion medium layer is configured to convert the first color light emitted by the light-emitting chips into second color light. One side of the light conversion medium layer away from the carrier circuit board exceeds one side of the light-blocking wall away from the carrier circuit board, and an edge of the light conversion medium layer exceeding the light-blocking wall covers a surface of the light-blocking wall away from the carrier circuit board.
