Abstract

The lighting device disclosed at an embodiment includes a substrate; a plurality of light sources arranged on the substrate; a resin layer sealing the plurality of light sources; a reflective member disposed between the resin layer and the substrate; and an antenna pattern disposed in a first region between the reflective member and the substrate.

Claims (60)

1 . A lighting device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate and electrically connected to the substrate;

a resin layer sealing the plurality of light sources and emitting surface light through an upper surface or side surface; and

an antenna pattern disposed in a first region between the resin layer and the substrate,

wherein the antenna pattern is disposed on an emission side of at least one of the plurality of light sources.

2 . The lighting device of claim 1 , comprising:

a reflective member disposed between the resin layer and the substrate.

3 . The lighting device of claim 2 ,

wherein the antenna pattern is disposed between the reflective member and the substrate, and

wherein the reflective member has a concave recess where the antenna pattern is disposed.

4 . The lighting device of claim 1 ,

wherein the antenna pattern is disposed between two adjacent light sources.

5 . The lighting device of claim 1 ,

wherein the antenna pattern is disposed adjacent to at least one of the plurality of light sources.

6 . The lighting device of claim 1 ,

wherein a maximum length of the antenna pattern is smaller than an interval between the plurality of light sources.

7 . The lighting device of claim 1 ,

wherein a top view of the antenna pattern has a polygonal shape, and

wherein widths of opposite sides of the antenna pattern in a first direction are different from each other.

8 . The lighting device of claim 1 , comprising:

a driving module disposed on one side of the substrate and having a light source driver for driving the light sources.

9 . The lighting device of claim 8 ,

wherein the driving module includes a near field communication portion electrically connected to the antenna pattern.

10 . The lighting device of claim 9 ,

wherein the driving module is attached to a lower surface of the substrate.

11 . The lighting device of claim 9 ,

wherein the driving module is connected to a connector of the substrate with a signal cable.

12 . The lighting device of claim 1 , comprising:

an optical member on the resin layer and a light blocking portion disposed on each of the plurality of light sources.

13 . The lighting device of claim 12 ,

wherein the light blocking portion overlaps the antenna pattern in a direction orthogonal to an upper surface of the substrate.

14 . The lighting device of claim 1 , comprising:

a reflective layer on the resin layer,

wherein light emitted from the plurality of light sources is extracted through one side of the resin layer, and

wherein the antenna pattern is not in contact with the resin layer.

15 . The lighting device of claim 1 , comprising:

a reflective member disposed between the resin layer and the substrate,

wherein a thickness of the antenna pattern is thinner than a thickness of the reflective member.

16 . The lighting device of claim 2 , comprising:

wherein the reflective member covers an entire upper surface of the antenna pattern.

17 . A lighting device comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of light sources arranged on the substrate;

a resin layer sealing the plurality of light sources;

an antenna pattern disposed in a first region between the resin layer and the substrate,

wherein the antenna pattern is formed as a partial pattern of a wiring layer disposed on the substrate,

wherein a thickness of the antenna pattern is the same as a thickness of the wiring layer, and

wherein the antenna pattern is disposed on an emission side of at least one of the plurality of light sources.

18 . The lighting device of claim 17 , comprising:

a reflective member disposed between the resin layer and the substrate,

wherein the antenna pattern is disposed between the reflective member and the substrate, and

wherein the reflective member has a concave recess where the antenna pattern is disposed, and

wherein the antenna pattern is positioned lower than a lower surface of the resin layer.

19 . The lighting device of claim 17 ,

wherein a maximum length of the antenna pattern is smaller than an interval between the plurality of light sources, and

wherein widths of opposite sides of the antenna pattern in a first direction are different from each other.

20 . The lighting device of claim 17 , comprising:

a driving module disposed on one side of the substrate and including a light source driver for driving the light sources and a near field communication portion connected to the antenna pattern,

wherein the driving module is attached to a lower surface of the substrate or connected to a connector of the substrate with a signal cable.
