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 light device, comprising:

a cover configured to transmit light;

a light emitter disposed in the cover and including a first end, a second end, and an intermediate region disposed between the first end and the second end; and

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

wherein the light emitter comprising:

light sources including a first light source and a second light source that are closest, among the light sources, to the first end and the second end, respectively, each of the light sources including a first contact electrode and a second contact electrode;

a first electrode pad electrically connected to at least one of the first contact electrodes of the light sources;

a second electrode pad electrically connected to at least one of the 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,

wherein a first distance measured as a shortest distance between the first light source and a first region of the cover is different from a second distance measured as a shortest distance between the second light source and a second region of the cover.

2. The light 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.

3. The light device of claim 1 , wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.

4. The light device of claim 1 , wherein a third distance measured as a shortest distance between a third light source disposed in the intermediate region and a third region of the cover is different from the first distance or the second distance.

5. The light device of claim 4 , wherein the first distance is greater than the third distance.

6. The light device of claim 4 , wherein the second distance is greater than the third distance.

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

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

9. A light device, comprising:

a light emitter disposed in a cover and including a first end, a second end, and an intermediate region between the first end and the second end; and

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

wherein the light emitter comprises:

light sources including a first light source and a second light source that are closest, among the light sources, to the first end and the second end,

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

a first electrode pad electrically connected to at least one of the first contact electrodes of the light sources;

a second electrode pad electrically connected to at least one of the 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,

wherein a first distance measured as a shortest distance between the first light source and a first region of the cover is greater than a second distance measured as a shortest distance between the second light source and a second region of the cover.

10. The light device of claim 9 , 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.

11. The light device of claim 9 , wherein a third distance measured as a shortest distance between a third light source disposed in the intermediate region and a third region of the cover is different from the first distance or the second distance.

12. The light device of claim 11 , wherein the first distance is greater than the third distance.

13. The light device of claim 11 , wherein the third distance is smaller than the second distance.

14. The light device of claim 9 , wherein the light sources are connected to the connection line in series.

15. The light device of claim 9 , wherein the light sources are arranged in a combination of serial and parallel connections.

16. A light device, comprising:

a light emitter disposed in a cover and including a first end, a second end, and an intermediate region between the first end and the second end; and

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

wherein the light emitter comprising:

light sources including a first light source disposed in the intermediate region and a second light source that is closest, among the light sources, to the second end, each of the light sources including a first contact electrode and a second contact electrode;

a first electrode pad electrically connected to at least one of the first contact electrodes of the light sources;

a second electrode pad electrically connected to at least one of the 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,

wherein a first distance measured as a shortest distance between the first light source and a first region of the cover is different from a second distance measured as a shortest distance between the second light source and a second region of the cover.

17. The light device of claim 16 , wherein the light sources further include a third light source that is closest, among the light sources, to the first end the second distance is different from a third distance measured as a shortest distance between the third light source and a third region of the cover.

18. The light device of claim 17 , wherein the third distance is greater than the first distance.

19. The light device of claim 16 , wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance.

20. The light device of claim 16 , wherein the second 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.
