Abstract

An optical structure is provided. The optical structure includes a substrate and a light-emitting element disposed on the substrate. The optical structure also includes a cap disposed on the substrate and covering the light-emitting element. The cap has a top portion and a sidewall connected to the top portion. The optical structure further includes a first micro-structure disposed on a first side of the top portion facing the light-emitting element. The first micro-structure is periodically arranged.

Claims (25)

1. An optical structure, comprising:

a substrate;

a light-emitting element disposed on the substrate;

a cap disposed on the substrate and covering the light-emitting element, wherein the cap has a top portion and a sidewall connected to the top portion;

a first micro-structure disposed on a first side of the top portion facing the light-emitting element, wherein the first micro-structure is periodically arranged; and

a light-converting film disposed on an inner surface of the cap.

2. The optical structure as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a second micro-structure disposed on a second side of the top portion facing away from the light-emitting element, wherein the second micro-structure is periodically arranged.

3. The optical structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein in a cross-sectional view, the second micro-structure has a plurality of micro-structure patterns, and the micro-structure patterns are mirror symmetric.

4. The optical structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein in the cross-sectional view, a symmetry axis of the micro-structure patterns overlaps a central axis of the light-emitting element.

5. The optical structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein in the cross-sectional view, each of the micro-structure patterns is formed as a triangle or a quadrilateral.

6. The optical structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first micro-structure has a plurality of micro-structure patterns, and each of the micro-structure patterns is formed as a truncated cone, a truncated pyramid, a trapezoidal pyramid, or a polygonal pyramid.

7. The optical structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a maximum width of each of the micro-structure patterns is between 0.01 mm and 0.3 mm.

8. The optical structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein in a cross-sectional view, each of the micro-structure patterns is formed as an isosceles trapezoid that has a first base connected to the top portion, a second base facing away from the top portion, and two sides connected to the first base and the second base, a width of the second base is t 1 , a minimum distance between adjacent two of the micro-structure patterns is t 2 , the sum of a normal projection of the second base on the top portion, a normal projection of one of the sides on the top portion, and the minimum distance between adjacent two of the micro-structure patterns is to, where t 0 , t 1 , and t 2 match the following formula: 0.1<(t 1 +t 2 )/t 0 <0.9.

9. The optical structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when viewed from the light-emitting element to the cap, the first micro-structure is formed as a plurality of triangular pyramids with flat heads, quadrangular pyramids with flat heads, conical pyramids with flat heads, or polygonal pyramids.

10. The optical structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting element comprises a chip and a passivation layer covering the chip.

11. The optical structure as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a distance between the first side and a top surface of the substrate is 0.3-3 times a width of the chip.

12. The optical structure as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the light-emitting element further comprises a light-converting layer disposed between the chip and the passivation layer.

13. The optical structure as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the chip emits blue light and the light-converting layer comprises yellow fluorescent material.

14. The optical structure as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a distribution area of the first micro-structure on the first side is larger than an area of the top surface of the chip.

15. The optical structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the sidewall gets thicker towards the substrate.

16. The optical structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in a cross-sectional view, an included angle between an outer surface of the sidewall and a top surface of the substrate is between 90° and 120°.

17. The optical structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first micro-structure is also disposed on an inner surface of the sidewall.

18. The optical structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cap comprises poly (methyl methacrylate), polycarbonates, or silicone.

19. The optical structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cap further comprises zirconium oxide.
