Abstract

A lighting device disclosed in an embodiment of the invention includes a substrate; a plurality of light emitting devices disposed on the substrate; a resin layer covering the plurality of light emitting devices on the substrate; and a first reflective member disposed on the resin layer, wherein the resin layer includes a first surface facing the plurality of light emitting devices, and a hole disposed between the first surface and the plurality of light emitting devices and the hole penetrates in the direction of the substrate from a lower surface of the first reflective member, and the hole and the light emitting device may overlap in a light emission direction of the light emitting device.

Claims (47)

1. A lighting device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light emitting devices arranged adjacently in a first direction on a substrate; and

a resin layer disposed on the substrate and the plurality of light emitting devices,

wherein the resin layer includes a first side surface and a second side surface disposed on both sides of a second direction perpendicular to the first direction,

wherein a straight distance between a first light emitting device among the plurality of light emitting devices and the second surface of the resin layer is smaller than a straight distance between the first light emitting device and the first surface of the resin layer,

wherein the resin layer includes a third side surface adjacent to the substrate and a fourth side surface opposite the third side surface,

wherein the resin layer includes a hole penetrating from the fourth side surface toward the third side surface, and

wherein a straight distance between the hole and the first light emitting device is smaller than a straight distance between the hole and the second side surface.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 , comprising:

a first reflective member disposed on the fourth side surface of the resin layer,

wherein the first reflective member faces the fourth side surface of the resin layer and the hole.

3. The lighting device of claim 2 , comprising a second reflective member disposed on the third side surface of the resin layer,

wherein the second reflective member is disposed between the third side surface of the resin layer and the substrate, and

wherein the second reflective member has a plurality of insertion holes into which lower portions of each of the plurality of light emitting devices are inserted.

4. The lighting device of claim 3 , wherein a thickness of the first side surface of the resin layer is the same as an interval between the first and second reflective members.

5. The lighting device of claim 3 , wherein a thickness of the second side surface of the resin layer is the same as an interval between the first and second reflective members.

6. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein a minimum distance between the hole and the first side surface of the resin layer is smaller than a minimum distance between the first side surface of the resin layer and the first light emitting device.

7. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein a minimum distance between the first side surface of the resin layer and the hole is equal to or greater than a minimum distance between the hole and the first light emitting device.

8. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein light generated from the plurality of light emitting devices is extracted as light with a highest luminous intensity through the first side surface of the resin layer.

9. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein a minimum distance between the first side surface of the resin layer and the first light emitting device is in a range of 4 mm to 20 mm.
