Abstract

To provide a light emitting module capable of reducing luminance unevenness. A light emitting module 10 includes an element substrate 11 extending in one direction, and a plurality of LEDs 12 mounted in alignment in a longitudinal direction of the element substrate 11 , and an end surface 11 a in the longitudinal direction of the element substrate 11 has an inclined surface 11 c which is inclined with respect to an end surface 11 b in a short side direction.

Claims (13)

1. A light emitting module comprising:

an element substrate extending in one direction; and

a plurality of light emitting elements mounted in a straight line aligned with a longitudinal direction of the element substrate, wherein

both end surfaces of the element substrate in the longitudinal direction have a plurality of inclined surfaces which are inclined with respect to end surfaces of the element substrate in a short side direction thereof,

the inclined surfaces are each formed continuously with the end surfaces, adjacent thereto, of the element substrate in the short side direction,

the inclined surfaces respectively have mutually different inclination angles with respect to the end surfaces of the element substrate in the short side direction, and

the element substrate comprises a plurality of element substrates arranged with the respective end surfaces thereof in the longitudinal direction having mutually different inclination angles brought close together in an opposed manner.

2. The light emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the inclination angles are obtuse angles.

3. The light emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein of one or both of the end surfaces of the element substrate in the longitudinal direction, one of the inclined surfaces is formed continuously with another of the inclined surfaces.

4. The light emitting module according to claim 2 , wherein of one or both of the end surfaces of the element substrate in the longitudinal direction, one of the inclined surfaces is formed continuously with another of the inclined surfaces.

5. The light emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the inclined surfaces are formed continuously with an orthogonal surface, the orthogonal surface being orthogonal to the end surfaces of the element substrate in the short side direction, and a length of the orthogonal surface in the short side direction is larger than a length of the inclined surfaces in the short side direction.

6. The light emitting module according to claim 2 ,

wherein the inclined surfaces are formed continuously with an orthogonal surface, the orthogonal surface being orthogonal to the end surfaces of the element substrate in the short side direction, and a length of the orthogonal surface in the short side direction is larger than a length of the inclined surfaces in the short side direction.
