Abstract

Lighting module disclosed in an embodiment of the invention, a substrate; a plurality of light emitting devices disposed on the substrate; a first reflective layer disposed on the substrate; a resin layer disposed on the first reflective layer and the light emitting device; and a second reflective layer disposed on the resin layer, wherein the resin layer is a front side surface on which light generated from the plurality of light emitting devices is emitted, a rear side surface facing the front side surface, and first and second side surfaces connecting the front side surface and the rear side surface with each other. A distance between the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer is smaller than a distance between the front side surface and the rear side surface of the resin layer, and the front side surface of the resin layer has a plurality of convex portions convex toward the front side surface from the light emitting device and a plurality of concave portions recessed in a direction of the rear side surface.

Claims (39)

1. A lighting apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light emitting devices disposed on the substrate;

a resin layer disposed on the substrate and the plurality of light emitting devices, wherein the resin layer has a first side surface, a second side surface, a third side surface and a fourth side surface;

a first reflective layer disposed on the substrate;

a second reflective layer disposed on the resin layer; and

a third reflective layer disposed on the second side surface, the third side surface and the fourth side surface,

wherein the first side surface is between upper and lower surfaces of the resin layer,

wherein the first side surface has a length greater than a thickness of the resin layer in a first direction,

wherein the first side surface emits light having a highest luminous intensity among the first, second, third and fourth side surfaces of the resin layer by the light emitted from the plurality of light emitting devices, and

wherein the light emitted to the first side surface has a surface light in the form of a long line in the first direction, and

wherein an edge of the first reflective layer is spaced apart from an edge of the substrate to provide an upper open surface of the substrate between the third reflective layer disposed on the second side surface and the edge of the first reflective layer, and a portion of the resin layer contacts the upper open surface of the substrate.

2. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of light emitting devices are arranged in the first direction within the resin layer.

3. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a height of the first side surface is less than twice a thickness of each of the light emitting devices.

4. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a height of the line is less than twice a thickness of each of the light emitting devices.

5. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a height of the first side surface ranges from 1.5 mm to 1.9 mm.

6. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the resin layer is equal to a height of the first side surface.

7. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the resin layer ranges from 1.5 mm to 1.9 mm.

8. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first side surface has a plurality of lens portions.

9. The lighting apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a total number of the lens portions is equal to a total number of the light emitting devices.

10. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second side surface opposite to the first side surface of the resin layer has a long line shape in the first direction.

11. The lighting apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the second side surface has a vertical surface.

12. The lighting apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a height of the second side surface is less than twice a thickness of each of the light emitting devices.

13. The lighting apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a height of the line is less than twice a thickness of each of the light emitting devices.

14. The lighting apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a height of the second side surface ranges from 1.5 mm to 1.9 mm.

15. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the resin layer is equal to a height of the second side surface.

16. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of light emitting devices has emission surface for emitting light toward the first side surface.

17. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first side surface has a plurality of convex portions facing each of the light emitting devices and a concave portion facing a region between the light emitting devices.

18. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light is red or yellow light.

19. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a maximum distance between the light emitting devices and the first side surface is in a range from 5 mm to 20 mm.

20. A lighting apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light emitting devices disposed on the substrate;

a resin layer disposed on the substrate and the plurality of light emitting devices, wherein the resin layer has a front side surface and a rear side surface, and the front side surface is to emit light based on light emitted from the plurality of light emitting devices;

a first reflective layer disposed on the substrate and having a plurality of holes to receive the light emitting devices;

a second reflective layer disposed on the resin layer; and

a third reflective layer disposed on the rear side surface,

wherein the front side surface has a length greater than a thickness of the resin layer in a first direction, and

wherein an edge of the first reflective layer is spaced apart from an edge of the substrate such that a portion of the resin layer is provided on an open surface of the substrate between the third reflective layer disposed on the rear side surface and the edge of the first reflective layer.
