Abstract

A semiconductor light emitting element includes a transparent substrate and a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) structures. The transparent substrate has a support surface and a second main surface disposed opposite to each other. At least some of the LED structures are disposed on the support surface and form a first main surface where light emitted from with a part of the support surface without the LED structures. Each of the LED structures includes a first electrode and a second electrode. Light emitted from at least one of the LED structures passes through the transparent substrate and emerges from the second main surface. An illumination device includes the semiconductor light emitting element and a supporting base. The semiconductor light emitting element is disposed on the supporting base, and an angle is formed between the semiconductor light emitting element and the supporting base.

Claims (14)

1. An illumination device, comprising:

a light emitting element, comprising:

a transparent substrate, having an uncovered surface, a covered surface, and a bottom surface opposite to the uncovered surface; and

a plurality of LED structures, disposed on the covered surface without blocking the uncovered surface in a configuration that the uncovered surface and the bottom surface are illuminated when the plurality of LED structures is operated; and

a supporting base associated with the light emitting element; and

a support stacked on the light emitting element, parallel to the transparent substrate, and inwardly inclined against a central axis of the supporting base by a first angle.

2. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the first angle ranges from 45 degrees to 75 degrees.

3. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the support comprises a first connected portion and a second connected portion, the second connected portion is disposed on the supporting base, the first connected portion is rotatably connected to the second connected portion, wherein a second angle exists between the first connected portion and the second connected portion.

4. The illumination device of claim 3 , wherein the first connected portion extends outward relative to the central axis of the supporting base and the second angle ranges from 135 degrees to 175 degrees.

5. The illumination device of claim 3 , wherein the first connected portion extends inward relative to the central axis of the supporting base and the second angle ranges from 5 degrees to 45 degrees.

6. The illumination device of claim 3 , wherein a third angle exists between the second connected portion and the supporting base and the third angle ranges from 45 degrees to 85 degrees.

7. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the support is an arc-shaped structure.

8. The illumination device of claim 7 , wherein a radius of the arc-shaped support ranges from 10 mm to 200 mm, a center of the arc-shaped structure is near to or away from the central axis of the supporting base.

9. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the support is a parabolic structure or an ellipse-shaped structure.
