Abstract

A lighting device includes a substrate having a plurality of flat portions and a non-flat portion disposed between the flat portions, a plurality of light emitting sources disposed on the substrate, a fluorescent substrate layer covering one or more light emitting sources and converting a wavelength of a light from the light emitting source, and a connection line disposed on the substrate and electrically connecting the light emitting sources adjacent to each other between the adjacent light emitting sources. The substrate has a first end and a second end are arranged at different distance from a central axis.

Claims (49)

1. A lighting device, comprising:

a cover configured to transmit light;

a light emitter disposed in the cover and including a first end, a second end, and a groove region, the light emitter comprising:

light sources, each of the light sources including a first contact electrode and a second contact electrode;

a first electrode pad electrically connected to first contact electrodes of the light sources:

a second electrode pad electrically connected to second contact electrodes of the light sources;

a wavelength converter configured to convert a wavelength of light emitted from at least one of the light sources, and

a connection line disposed on an insulation layer and electrically connected to the first electrode pad or the second electrode pad that is electrically connected to the light sources,

a power board configured to supply power to the light emitter, and

a fixer connected to the light emitter,

wherein two of the light sources are configured to emit light with orientation angles defining corresponding light emission areas that overlap with each other in an overlapping region, and

wherein a distance from the fixer to the overlapping region is smaller than a distance from the fixer to the cover.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the light sources are connected to the connection line in parallel.

3. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the light sources are connected to the connection line in series.

4. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the light sources are arranged in a combination of serial and parallel connections.

5. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the light emitter is connected to the power board and the second end of the light emitter is spaced apart from the power board.

6. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the fixer is connected to at least one of the first end and the second end of the light emitter.

7. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein a first distance between a central axis and the first end of the light emitter is smaller than a second distance between the central axis and a region of the light emitter that is between the first end and the second end.

8. A lighting device, comprising:

a light emitter disposed in a cover and including a first end, a second end, and a groove region, the light emitter comprising:

light sources configured to emit light, each of the light sources including a first contact electrode and a second contact electrode;

a first electrode pad electrically connected to first contact electrode of the light sources;

a second electrode pad electrically connected to second contact electrodes of the light sources;

a wavelength converter configured to convert a wavelength of light emitted from at least one of the light sources, and

a connection line disposed on an insulation layer and electrically connect to the first electrode pad or the second electrode pad that is electrically connected to the at least one of the light sources,

a power board configured to supply power to the light emitter, and

a fixer connected to the light emitter and located at a position through which a central axis passes,

wherein a first distance between the central axis and the first end of the light emitter is smaller than a second distance between the central axis and a region of the light emitter that is between the first end and the second end.

9. The lighting device of claim 8 , further comprising a globe located to cover the light emitter and configured to transmit the light emitted from the light emitter.

10. The lighting device of claim 9 , wherein two of the light sources are configured to emit light with orientation angles defining corresponding light emission areas that overlap with each other in an overlapping region, and wherein a distance from the fixer to the overlapping region is smaller than a distance from the fixer to the globe.

11. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the first distance is greater than a third distance between the central axis and the second end of the light emitter.

12. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the light sources are disposed between the first end and the second end and at least two of the light emitting sources are disposed apart from the fixer by different distances from each other.

13. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the light sources are connected to the connection line in parallel.

14. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the light sources are connected to the connection line in series.

15. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the light sources are arranged in a combination of serial and parallel connections.

16. A lighting device, comprising:

a light emitter disposed in a cover and including a first end, a second end, and a groove region, the light emitter comprising:

light sources configured to emit light, each of the light sources including a first contact electrode and a second contact electrode;

a first electrode pad electrically connected to first contact electrode of the light sources;

a second electrode pad electrically connected to second contact electrodes of the light sources;

a wavelength converter configured to convert a wavelength of light emitted from at least one of the light sources, and

a connection line disposed on an insulation layer and electrically connected to the first electrode pad or the second electrode pad that electrically connected to the light sources,

a power board configured to supply power to the light emitter, and

a fixer connected to the light emitter and configured to allow a central axis to pass through the fixer,

wherein a first distance between the central axis and the first end of the light emitter is different from a second distance between the central axis and the second end of the light emitter.

17. The lighting device of claim 16 , further comprising a globe located to surround the light emitter and including light transmitting material to transmit the light emitted from the light sources.

18. The lighting device of claim 17 , wherein two of the light sources are configured to emit light with orientation angles defining corresponding light emission areas that overlap with each other in an overlapping region, and wherein a distance from the fixer to the overlapping region is smaller than a distance from the fixer to the globe.

19. The lighting device of claim 16 , wherein the first distance is smaller than the second distance.

20. The lighting device of claim 16 , wherein the first distance and the second distance are smaller than a third distance between the central axis and the first end of the light emitter.
