Abstract

A wavelength conversion member for soldering includes a ceramic fluorescent body for converting a wavelength of light entering from an incident surface of the ceramic fluorescent body, a reflection layer disposed on a back surface of the ceramic fluorescent body on a side opposite the incident surface and partially or entirely covering the back surface, and a junction layer composed of one or more films and covering at least the reflection layer selected from the back surface of the ceramic fluorescent body and the reflection layer. The junction layer has a projecting portion which projects, in relation to an outer circumferential portion of the junction layer, in a center portion of a surface on a side opposite a surface on a side where the junction layer covers at least the reflection layer selected from the back surface and the reflection layer.

Claims (47)

1 . A wavelength conversion member for soldering comprising:

a ceramic fluorescent body for converting a wavelength of light entering from an incident surface of the ceramic fluorescent body;

a reflection layer disposed on a back surface of the ceramic fluorescent body on a side opposite the incident surface and partially or entirely covering the back surface; and

a junction layer composed of one or more films and covering at least the reflection layer selected from the back surface of the ceramic fluorescent body and the reflection layer,

wherein the junction layer has a projecting portion which projects, in relation to an outer circumferential portion of the junction layer, in a center portion of a surface on a side opposite a surface on a side where the junction layer covers at least the reflection layer selected from the back surface and the reflection layer.

2 . The wavelength conversion member for soldering according to claim 1 , wherein

the junction layer directly covers both the reflection layer and an exposed portion of the back surface of the ceramic fluorescent body; and

the projecting portion of the junction layer covers the reflection layer.

3 . The wavelength conversion member for soldering according to claim 2 , wherein

the junction layer includes:

a junction film; and

an adhesion film formed of chromium or titanium, disposed between the ceramic fluorescent body and the junction film, and adhering the ceramic fluorescent body and the junction film to each other.

4 . The wavelength conversion member for soldering according to claim 1 , wherein a film of the junction layer constituting the surface on the side opposite the surface on the side where the junction layer covers at least the reflection layer selected from the back surface and the reflection layer contains, as a main component, at least one of nickel, palladium, platinum, molybdenum, and tungsten.

5 . A wavelength conversion device comprising:

the wavelength conversion member for soldering according to claim 1 ;

a heat radiation member for radiating heat of the ceramic fluorescent body to an external atmosphere; and

a solder layer provided between the junction layer and the heat radiation member and joining the wavelength conversion member for soldering to the heat radiation member,

wherein the solder layer has a recessed portion surrounding the projecting portion of the junction layer.

6 . A light source device comprising:

the wavelength conversion device according to claim 5 ; and

a light source for applying light to the ceramic fluorescent body.

7 . The wavelength conversion member for soldering according to claim 2 , wherein a film of the junction layer constituting the surface on the side opposite the surface on the side where the junction layer covers at least the reflection layer selected from the back surface and the reflection layer contains, as a main component, at least one of nickel, palladium, platinum, molybdenum, and tungsten.

8 . The wavelength conversion member for soldering according to claim 3 , wherein a film of the junction layer constituting the surface on the side opposite the surface on the side where the junction layer covers at least the reflection layer selected from the back surface and the reflection layer contains, as a main component, at least one of nickel, palladium, platinum, molybdenum, and tungsten.

9 . A wavelength conversion device comprising:
