Abstract

An illumination device disclosed in an embodiment of the invention includes a substrate, a plurality of light emitting elements disposed on the substrate, a resin layer disposed on the plurality of light emitting elements, a first phosphor layer disposed on an upper surface of the resin layer, and a plurality of second phosphor layers disposed on side surfaces of the resin layer, and a first light blocking layer disposed between the first phosphor layer and the second phosphor layer. The first phosphor layer and the second phosphor layer may have different colors.

Claims (53)

a light blocking layer disposed between the first phosphor layer and the second phosphor layer,

wherein the first phosphor layer and the second phosphor layer have different colors,

wherein the first phosphor layer overlaps the plurality of light emitting devices in a vertical direction,

wherein the resin layer is disposed between the plurality of light emitting devices and the first phosphor layer, the resin layer is disposed between side surfaces of the plurality of light emitting devices, and the resin layer is disposed between an outermost light emitting device of the plurality of light emitting devices and the second phosphor layer,

wherein the light blocking layer is disposed on different side surfaces of the first phosphor layer, and

wherein the light blocking layer is disposed along an upper surface of the second phosphor layer disposed on each of the different side surfaces of the resin layer,

wherein the light blocking layer overlaps the resin layer in the vertical direction,

wherein the light blocking layer is disposed on upper corners of the different side surfaces of the resin layer,

wherein the light blocking layer overlaps the second phosphor layer in the vertical direction, and

wherein the light blocking layer is in contact with the different side surfaces of the resin layer.

2. The illumination device of claim 1 ,

wherein the light blocking layer includes least one of an uppermost surface of the light blocking layer horizontally aligned with an uppermost surface of the first phosphor layer and an outermost side surface of the light blocking layer vertically aligned with an outermost side surface of the second phosphor layer, and

wherein the second phosphor layer is disposed higher than upper surfaces of the light emitting devices.

3. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the light blocking layer includes a silicon material, film, or ink that reflects or absorbs light, and is formed with a constant thickness on the upper surface of the second phosphor layer.

4. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein an outer side surface of the light blocking layer does not protrude from an outer side surface of the second phosphor layer.

5. The illumination device of claim 4 , wherein an upper surface of the light blocking layer does not protrude from an upper surface of the first phosphor layer.

6. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the light blocking layer is in contact with the resin layer and the second phosphor layer, and

wherein the second phosphor layer is disposed between the light blocking layer and the substrate.

7. The illumination device of claim 6 , wherein the light blocking layer is in contact with the first phosphor layer.

8. An illumination device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light emitting devices disposed on the substrate;

a resin layer disposed on the plurality of light emitting devices;
