Abstract

According to some aspects, a light-emitting module that is small and easy to produce may be provided. On the surface of a board, a light-emitting element and an electrical connection portion electrically connected to the light-emitting element are provided. In some examples, in a position close to the electrical connection portion of the board, a through-hole that penetrates the board is formed. Through the through-hole of the board, an electric wire for supplying electric power to the light-emitting element may be inserted from the back surface of the board to the front surface to be electrically connected to the electrical connection portion.

Claims (47)

1. A lamp device comprising:

a main body having:

a communication hole formed along at least a portion of a central axis line of the main body, and

a supporting portion surrounding the communication hole;

a light-emitting module having:

a board fixed on the supporting portion, and

one or more light-emitting elements mounted on the board;

at least three transparent members respectively including yellow fluorescent material, the at least three transparent members arranged at equal intervals from one another, wherein the yellow fluorescent material is configured to be excited by light emitted from the one or more light-emitting elements;

an electrical connection portion electrically connected to the one or more light-emitting elements;

an operating circuit mounted on a circuit board and electrically connected to the electrical connection portion and configured to supply electrical power to the lighting-emitting module; and

a wire electrically connecting the electrical connection portion and the operating circuit through the communication hole,

wherein a first non-light emitting portion is formed at a position surrounded by and radially equidistant from the at least three transparent members, and

wherein a central axis of the communication hole is provided so as to pass through a center of the first non-light emitting portion.

2. The lamp device of claim 1 , wherein the wire is bent toward the electrical connection portion while extending from the communication hole.

3. The lamp device of claim 1 , wherein a second non-light emitting portion is formed between each pair of adjacent transparent members of the at least three transparent members, and the second non-light emitting portion extends in a radial direction.

4. The lamp device of claim 1 , wherein the lamp device comprises a plurality of supporting portions, and wherein the lamp device includes one or more protruding portions located between each pair of the plurality of supporting portions.

5. The lamp device of claim 1 , wherein the operating circuit is located in the main body.

6. A lamp device comprising:

a main body having:

a communication hole formed along at least a portion of a central axis line of the main body, and

a supporting portion surrounding the communication hole;

a light-emitting module having:

a board fixed on the supporting portion, and

one or more light-emitting elements mounted on the board;

at least three transparent members respectively including yellow fluorescent materials, the at least three transparent members arranged at equal intervals from one another, wherein the yellow fluorescent material is configured to be excited by light emitted from the one or more the light-emitting elements;

an electrical connection portion electrically connected to the one or more light-emitting element; and

an operating circuit mounted on a circuit board and electrically connected to the electrical connection portion and configured to supply electrical power to the light-emitting module,

wherein a non-light-emitting portion is formed at a position surrounded by and radially equidistant from the at least three transparent members,

wherein the electrical connection is provided at the non-light-emitting portion,

wherein a central axis of the communication hole is provided so as to pass through a center of the non-light-emitting portion, and

wherein each of the at least three transparent members is separated from a respective other one of the at least three transparent members by a respective rib of a plurality of ribs.

7. A lamp comprising:

a main body having:

a communication hole formed along at least a portion of a central axis line of the main body, and

a supporting portion surrounding the communication hole;

a light-emitting module having:

a board fixed on the supporting portion, and

one or more light-emitting elements mounted on the board;

at least three transparent members respectively including yellow fluorescent materials, the at least three transparent members arranged at equal intervals from one another, wherein the yellow fluorescent material is configured to be excited by light emitted from the one or more the light-emitting elements;

an electrical connection portion electrically connected to the one or more light-emitting element; and

an operating circuit mounted on a circuit board and electrically connected to the electrical connection portion and configured to supply electrical power to the light-emitting module,

wherein a non-light-emitting portion is formed at a position surrounded by and radially equidistant from the at least three transparent members,

wherein the electrical connection is provided at the non-light-emitting portion,

wherein a central axis of the communication hole is provided so as to pass through a center of the non-light-emitting portion,

wherein each of the at least three transparent members is separated from a respective other one of the at least three transparent members by a respective rib of a plurality of ribs, and

wherein the non-light-emitting portion is separated from the light-emitting elements by a frame member configuring an outer edge of the non-light-emitting portion, the frame member formed integrally with the ribs.

8. The lamp device of claim 7 , wherein the frame member extends in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the non-light-emitting portion.
