Abstract

A light-emitting device includes: a light-emitting element; a first light-diffusion layer disposed laterally to the light-emitting element and constituting a first portion of lateral surfaces of the light-emitting device; a second light-diffusion layer disposed above the light-emitting element and the first light-diffusion layer and constituting a second portion of the lateral surfaces of the light-emitting device; a light-control portion disposed between the first light-diffusion layer and the second light-diffusion layer and configured to reflect a portion of light emitted from the light-emitting element; and a first light-reflection layer disposed on the second light-diffusion layer.

Claims (36)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a light-emitting element;

a phosphor layer covering the light-emitting element;

a first light-diffusion layer disposed laterally to the light-emitting element and constituting a first portion of lateral surfaces of the light-emitting device;

a second light-diffusion layer disposed above the light-emitting element and the first light-diffusion layer and constituting a second portion of the lateral surfaces of the light-emitting device;

a light-control portion disposed between the first light-diffusion layer and the second light-diffusion layer and configured to reflect a portion of light emitted from the light-emitting element; and

a first light-reflection layer disposed on the second light-diffusion layer;

wherein the first light-diffusion layer and the second light-diffusion layer cover the phosphor layer.

2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-control portion surrounds an outer periphery of the light-emitting element in a plan view.

3. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the second light-diffusion layer spaced from the first light-diffusion layer.

4. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the second light-diffusion layer is in contact with the first light-diffusion layer.

5. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a lower end of the light-control portion is positioned above a lower surface of the light-emitting element.

6. The light-emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein the lower end of the light-control portion is positioned above an upper surface of the light-emitting element.

7. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-control portion constitutes a third portion of the lateral surfaces of the light-emitting device.

8. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-control portion is spaced from the lateral surfaces of the light-emitting device.

9. The light-emitting device according to claim 8 , wherein the light-control portion is a hollow.

10. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-control portion is a white member.

11. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein an upper end of the light-control portion is positioned above an upper end of the phosphor layer.

12. The light-emitting device according to claim 11 , wherein a lower end of the light-control portion is positioned above the upper end of the phosphor layer.

13. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second light-reflection layer under the light-emitting element.

14. A light-emitting device comprising:

a light-emitting element;

a first light-diffusion layer disposed laterally to the light-emitting element and constituting a first portion of lateral surfaces of the light-emitting device;

a second light-diffusion layer disposed above the light-emitting element and the first light-diffusion layer and constituting a second portion of the lateral surfaces of the light-emitting device;

a light-control portion disposed between the first light-diffusion layer and the second light-diffusion layer and configured to reflect a portion of light emitted from the light-emitting element; and

a first light-reflection layer disposed on the second light-diffusion layer; and

a second light-reflection layer under the light-emitting element.

15. The light-emitting device according to claim 14 , wherein the light-control portion surrounds an outer periphery of the light-emitting element in a plan view.

16. The light-emitting device according to claim 14 , wherein the second light-diffusion layer spaced from the first light-diffusion layer.

17. The light-emitting device according to claim 14 , wherein the second light-diffusion layer is in contact with the first light-diffusion layer.

18. The light-emitting device according to claim 14 , wherein a lower end of the light-control portion is positioned above a lower surface of the light-emitting element.

19. The light-emitting device according to claim 18 , wherein the lower end of the light-control portion is positioned above an upper surface of the light-emitting element.

20. The light-emitting device according to claim 14 , wherein the light-control portion constitutes a third portion of the lateral surfaces of the light-emitting device.

21. The light-emitting device according to claim 14 , wherein the light-control portion is spaced from the lateral surfaces of the light-emitting device.

22. The light-emitting device according to claim 14 , wherein the light-control portion is a white member.
