Abstract

A lighting apparatus includes a light source part having a first light source and a second light source provided away from the first light source, a reflective part provided away from the first light source and second light source and reflecting light emitted from the first light source and second light source, and a support part facing the reflective part and supporting the light source part. The reflective part includes a plurality of reflective plates which are continuously provided. Each of the reflective plates provided adjacent to one another has a reflective surface which is shaped differently from one another.

Claims (38)

1. A light apparatus, comprising:

a light source group including a first light source and a second light source, wherein the light source group is configured to emit a first type of light and a second type of the light, at least one of the first type of the light or the second type of the light being visible light;

a supporter including a conductive pattern and having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and configured to support the light source group such that the first light source and the second light source are disposed on a same plane of the supporter; and

a reflector including a portion disposed on the first surface of the supporter and configured to reflect the first type of the light and the second type of the light;

wherein the first light source and the second light source are separated from each other,

wherein the reflector includes a first region having a first shape and a second region having a second shape different from the first shape, and

wherein the first region includes a curved surface extending in a first direction and the second region has a width different from a width of the first region.

2. The light apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first light source and the second light source are placed at different locations of the supporter.

3. The light apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the first light source and the second light source are disposed on the supporter to be parallel to each other.

4. The light apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a distance between the first region and the first light source is shorter than a distance between the second region and the first light source.

5. The light apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the reflector has a symmetrical shape with respect to a straight line passing a center of the reflector.

6. The light apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the reflector includes a bevel surface in a cross-sectional view.

7. The light apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the reflector includes a bevel surface in a cross-sectional view.

8. The light apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a distance from a center of the first light source to a center of the second light source is less than a distance from the center of the first light source to the reflector.

9. A light apparatus, comprising:

a light source group including a first light source and a second light source, wherein the light source group is configured to emit a first type of light and a second type of the light, at least one of the first type of light and the second type of the light being visible light;

a supporter including a conductive pattern and having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the supporter configured to support the light source group such that the first light source and the second light source are disposed on a same plane of the supporter; and

a reflector including a portion disposed on the first surface of the supporter and configured to reflect the first type of the light and the second type of the light;

wherein the first light source and the second light source are separated from each other,

wherein the reflector includes a first region having a first shape and a second region having a second shape different from the first shape, and

wherein the first region includes a rounded region extending in a first direction and the second region has a width greater than a width of the first region.

10. The light apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the first light source and the second light source are placed at different locations of the supporter.

11. The light apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the first light source and the second light source are disposed on the supporter to be parallel to each other.

12. The light apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein a distance between the first region and the first light source is disposed shorter than a distance between the second region and the first light source.

13. The light apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the reflector has a symmetrical shape with respect to a straight line passing a center of the reflector.

14. The light apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein a distance from a center of the first light source to a center of the second light source is less than a distance from the center of the first light source to the reflector.

15. A light apparatus, comprising:

a light source group including a first light source and a second light source, wherein the light source group is configured to emit a first type of light and a second type of the light, at least one of the first type of light and the second type of the light being visible light;

a supporter including a conductive pattern and having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the supporter configured to support the light source group such that the first light source and the second light source are disposed on a same plane of the supporter; and

a reflector including a portion disposed on the first surface of the supporter and configured to reflect the first type of the light and the second type of the light;

wherein the first light source and the second light source are separated from each other,

wherein the reflector includes a first region having a first shape and a second region having a second shape different from the first shape, and

wherein the first region includes a rounded region having a width different from a width of the second region.

16. The light apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the first light source and the second light source are placed at different locations of the supporter.

17. The light apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the first light source and the second light source are disposed on the supporter to be parallel to each other.

18. The light apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein a distance between the first region and the first light source is shorter than a distance between the second region and the first light source.

19. The light apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein the reflector has a symmetrical shape with respect to a straight line passing a center of the reflector.

20. The light apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein a distance from a center of the first light source to a center of the second light source is less than a distance from the center of the first light source to the reflector.
