Abstract

LED substrate of the present invention includes: translucent substrate body-in which an LED chip is disposed on a front face; and heat dissipation path provided in substrate body to dissipate heat generated in the LED chip. Substrate body includes a through hole that penetrates through the substrate body from the front face on which the LED chip is provided to a back face. Heat dissipation path includes: heat transfer path section provided in the through hole; and heat dissipation pattern section provided on the back face of substrate body, and connected to heat transfer path section. Thus, LED substrate having superior heat dissipation is realized.

Claims (25)

1. An LED substrate comprising:

a translucent substrate body in which an LED chip is disposed on a front face; and

a heat dissipation path provided in the substrate body to dissipate heat generated in the LED chip,

wherein the substrate body includes a through hole that penetrates through the substrate body from the front face on which the LED chip is provided to a back face,

wherein the heat dissipation path includes

a heat transfer path section provided in the through hole, and

a heat dissipation pattern section provided on the back face of the substrate body, and connected to the heat transfer path section, and

wherein the substrate body has a plurality of the heat transfer path sections provided in a plurality of the through holes to correspond to a plurality of the LED chips provided, and

the heat dissipation pattern section having a grid or ladder-like pattern connects the heat transfer path sections.

2. The LED substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the through hole is formed to have a funnel shape of which a back face side has an increased diameter than the front face side of the substrate body.

3. The LED substrate according to claim 1 , wherein

the back face side of the substrate body has a groove, and

the heat dissipation pattern section is provided in the groove.

4. The LED substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the back face of the substrate body has a connecting section connected to a heat dissipation support member.

5. The LED substrate according to claim 1 , wherein

a fluorescent substance layer is further included at a position on the front face of the substrate body at which the LED chip is provided, and

the heat dissipation pattern section of the heat dissipation path is provided to be opposed to the fluorescent substance layer via the substrate body.

6. An LED module comprising:

the LED substrate according to claim 1 and an LED chip provided to a fluorescent substance layer of the LED substrate, and

translucent resin including fluorescent substance for sealing the LED chip.

7. An LED light bulb comprising the LED module of claim 6 connected to a heat dissipation support member and enclosed in a globe.

8. The LED substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation pattern section has a shape comprising a first plurality of lines extending between respective heat transfer path sections, and a second plurality of lines intersecting the first plurality of lines.

9. The LED substrate according to claim 8 , wherein

the first plurality of lines includes a short side line that connects a heat transfer path section at one side edge of the substrate body to a respective heat transfer path section at another side edge of the substrate body, and

the second plurality of lines includes a centerline that intersects a center of the short side line, the centerline formed in an area spaced from a center of the substrate body and ends of the substrate body.
