Patent Description:
Lighting applications include vehicle lights as well as backlights for displays and signs. Light emitting device, such as light emitting diode (LED), have advantages such as low power consumption, semi-permanent life, fast response speed, safety, and environmental friendliness compared to conventional light sources such as fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps. These light emitting diodes are applied to various display devices, various lighting devices such as indoor or outdoor lights. Recently, as a vehicle light source, a lamp employing a light emitting diode has been proposed. Compared with incandescent lamps, light emitting diodes are advantageous in that power consumption is small. However, since an emission angle of light emitted from the light emitting diode is small, when the light emitting diode is used as a vehicle lamp, there is a demand for increasing the light emitting area of the lamp using the light emitting diode. Since the light emitting diode is small, it may increase the design freedom of the lamp, and it is economical due to its semi-permanent life.

The reflective member <NUM> according to the embodiment of the invention reflects incident light, thereby increasing the amount of light so that the light is uniformly distributed.

Referring to <FIG>, the reflective member <NUM> may include an adhesive layer L1, a reflective layer L2, and a dot portion L3.

The density of a dot pattern of the dot portion L3 may increase as the distance from the emission surface <NUM> of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> increases. The material of the dot portion L3 may be white. Since the dot portion L3 is disposed on the upper surface of the reflective member <NUM> in the emission direction of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, it is possible to improve light reflectance, reduce light loss, and improve luminance of a surface light source. The density of the dot portions L3 may be arranged at uniform intervals or may increase as the distance from the emission surface <NUM> of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> increases.

Here, it has a relationship of B5 > B4, and a difference between the interval B4 and the length B5 may range from <NUM> to <NUM>. Since the lengths B5 of each of the first and second open regions H1 and H2 of the reflective member <NUM> are long in the first direction, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the adhesive strength of the region adjacent to the long-side edge of the substrate <NUM>. That is, a decrease in adhesive strength of the reflective member <NUM> disposed between the third outer surface S3 of the substrate <NUM> and the first open region H1, and between the fourth outer side surface S4 of the substrate <NUM> and the second open region H2 may be prevented. Referring to <FIG>, an interval C2 between the first and second open regions H1 and H2 may be greater than the length D1 in the second direction of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, and the length D1 may be <NUM> times or more. A width B6 in the second direction in the first and second open regions H1 and H2 may be less than <NUM>/<NUM> of the length B5, for example, in the range of <NUM>/<NUM> to <NUM>/<NUM>. The width B6 may be <NUM> or less, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>.

The first and second open regions H1 and H2 are spaced apart from the third and fourth outer surfaces S3 and S4 of the substrate <NUM> with a predetermined interval B2, and the interval B2 may be <NUM> or less, for example, may be in a range of <NUM> to <NUM>. When the interval B2 is smaller than the above range, the adhesion of the reflective member <NUM> disposed outside the first and second open regions H1 and H2 may be reduced, and when it is larger than the above range, the reflective area may be reduced. The reflective member <NUM> may be disposed outside the first and second open regions H1 and H2 and exposed on the third and fourth outer surfaces S1 and S2 of the substrate <NUM>. The resin layer <NUM> may be disposed on the first and second open regions H1 and H2 and the reflective member <NUM>. The resin layer <NUM> may be adhered to the upper surface of the substrate <NUM> through the first and second open regions H1 and H2 to fix the outer portion of the reflective member <NUM>.

Referring to <FIG>, the resin layer <NUM> may be disposed on the substrate <NUM>. The lower surface of the resin layer <NUM> may face the upper surface of the substrate <NUM>. The resin layer <NUM> may be disposed on the entire upper surface or a partial region of the substrate <NUM>. The resin layer <NUM> may be disposed on the reflective member <NUM>. The resin layer <NUM> may be disposed on the entire upper surface or a partial region of the reflective member <NUM>. An area of the lower surface of the resin layer <NUM> may be equal to or smaller than an area of the upper surface of the substrate <NUM>. The resin layer <NUM> may be formed of a transparent material. The resin layer <NUM> may include at least two types of resin materials such as silicone, UV resin, or epoxy. The resin layer <NUM> may include a thermosetting resin material, and may selectively include, for example, PC, OPS, PMMA, and PVC. The resin layer <NUM> may be formed of glass.

For example, the main material may be used a mixture of a synthetic oligomer, urethane acrylate oligomer, and a polyacrylic polymer type. Of course, it may further include a monomer in which a low-boiling-point dilution-type reactive monomer such as IBOA (isobornyl acrylate), HPA (Hydroxylpropyl acrylate, <NUM>-HEA (<NUM>-hydroxyethyl acrylate), etc.) may be further included, and as an additive, a photoinitiator (for example, <NUM>-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl-ketone, Diphenyl) or an antioxidant or the like may be mixed. Since the resin layer <NUM> is provided as a layer that guides light with a resin, it can be provided with a thinner thickness and a flexible plate compared to the case of glass. The resin layer <NUM> may emit a point light source emitted from the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in the form of a line light source or a surface light source. A bead diffuses and reflects the incident light, thereby increasing the amount of light, and the bead may be disposed in a range of <NUM>% to <NUM>% of the weight of the resin layer <NUM>. The beads may be composed of any one selected from silicon, silica, glass bubble, PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate), urethane, Zn, Zr, Al<NUM>O<NUM>, acryl. In addition, a particle diameter of the beads may range from about <NUM> to about <NUM>.

The resin layer <NUM> includes first resin portions <NUM> and a second resin portion <NUM> which are formed of different resin materials. The first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM> may be alternately disposed in at least a first direction. The first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM> may be arranged alternately in the first direction and repeated one or more times in the second direction. The second resin portion <NUM> may be disposed between the plurality of first resin portions <NUM>. The first resin portion <NUM> may be disposed between the plurality of second resin portions <NUM>. The second resin portion <NUM> may be disposed on both sides of the first resin portion <NUM> or may be disposed around the first resin portion <NUM>. The second resin portion <NUM> may contact at least two or all of the side surfaces of the first resin portion <NUM>.

The first resin portion <NUM> may be disposed on the light source <NUM> and seal the light source <NUM>. The first resin portion <NUM> is disposed on each of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and may cover each of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The first resin portion <NUM> may include an inclined upper surface RS1 and first and second side surfaces RS2 and RS3 facing each other in a first direction. The second resin portion <NUM> may be spaced apart from each of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The second resin portion <NUM> may be spaced apart from the emission surface <NUM> of each of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The first resin portion <NUM> may be formed of a silicone resin or a thermosetting resin material, and the second resin portion <NUM> may be made of a UV resin material. The resin layer <NUM> may include resin materials cured by different curing methods. The resin layer <NUM> may include a resin material that causes outgassing and a resin material that does not cause outgassing. That is, in the resin layer <NUM>, a problem caused by outgassing may be eliminated by disposing a material that does not cause outgassing between the material causing the outgassing and the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. For example, the UV resin material emits or causes outgassing in a process such as reflow or in a high temperature and high humidity environment. Here, when the UV resin material is adjacent to each light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> or adjacent to each light emitting diode chip <NUM>, gas is released in a high temperature and high humidity environment, and the released gas may cause a phenomenon of discoloring the emission surfaces <NUM> of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> or carbonizing the surface of the light emitting diode chip <NUM>. Due to the discoloration of the molding member <NUM> or carbonization of the surface of the LED chip, the luminous flux may decrease or the optical reliability of the light source may decrease. Accordingly, the material of the resin covering the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> is formed of a material that does not cause outgassing, so that problems caused by outgassing can be prevented. When the resin layer <NUM> is formed of a silicone resin material, there is a problem that the silicone resin material does not adhere to some types of adhesives, for example, acrylic adhesives. On the other hand, the UV resin material has no adhesion problem with the above-described adhesive, and is more competitive than silicone resin in terms of cost. Therefore, the invention may solve the problem due to outgassing and to form the resin layer <NUM> into the first resin portion <NUM> of the silicone resin and the second resin portion <NUM> of the UV resin for adhesion with the adhesive layer.

A region of the upper surface RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM> overlapping the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in a vertical direction may be horizontal or inclined, and a region overlapping a region between the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and the second resin portion <NUM> in the vertical direction may include an inclined, concave curved surface, or a convex curved surface. When the upper surface RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM> is an inclined plane, it may have an inclination. The upper surface RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM> may have an inclination of an imaginary straight line connecting the lowermost end PS1 and the uppermost end PS2. The upper surface RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM> may be spaced apart from the first diffusion layer <NUM>. When a plurality of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> are arranged in N rows and M columns, a plurality of the first resin portions <NUM> may be arranged in N rows and M columns. Here, the M and N are integers greater than or equal to <NUM>, and may have a relationship of N ≥ M. The second resin portions <NUM> may be disposed between the first resin portions <NUM>, respectively, and may be connected or separated from each other. The second resin portions <NUM> may be integrally formed outside the plurality of first resin portions <NUM>.

The lowermost end PS1 of the upper surface RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM> may be disposed lower than an upper end or an upper surface of the second resin portion <NUM>. Among the upper surfaces RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM>, the lowermost end PS1 may be disposed equal to or higher than the upper surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. Among the upper surfaces RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM>, the lowermost end PS1 may be equal to or higher than the upper end of the front surface of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and may be the same as or different from the upper end of the rear surface. When the first resin portion <NUM> covers at least the front surface (i.e., a head surface) of the side surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, it may be possible to prevent a decrease in light extraction efficiency and protect it from the second resin portion <NUM>.

The uppermost end PS2 of the first resin portion <NUM> may be the same as or different from the upper end of the second resin portion <NUM>. When the uppermost end PS2 of the first resin portion <NUM> is the same as the upper end of the second resin portion <NUM>, it may be convenient to form and fix the second resin portion <NUM> after the first resin portion <NUM> is formed. When the uppermost end PS2 of the first resin portion <NUM> is higher than the upper end of the second resin portion <NUM>, the inclination angle of the inclined upper surface may be increased and a problem overflowing the first adhesive layer through the upper surface of the first resin portion <NUM> may suppress. When the uppermost end PS2 of the first resin portion <NUM> is lower than the upper end of the second resin portion <NUM>, a gap between the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and the second resin portion <NUM> may be reduced, and a height of an air region <NUM> may be provided higher.

As shown in <FIG>, a length K1 of the first resin portion <NUM> and a length K2 of the second resin portion <NUM> in a first direction or a row direction may be the same or different from each other. The ratio K1:K2 of the length K1 of the first resin portion <NUM> to the length K2 of the second resin portion <NUM> in the horizontal direction or the first direction may include in a range of <NUM>:<NUM> to <NUM>:<NUM>. Since the length K1 of the first resin portion <NUM> in the first direction is arranged in a range of <NUM>% to <NUM>% of the length K2 of the second resin portion <NUM>, the emission surface <NUM> may be spaced apart from the second resin portion <NUM> by a stable distance. The minimum distance E1 between the emission surfaces <NUM> of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and the second resin portion <NUM> may be <NUM> or more, for example, <NUM> or more. The upper surface area of the first resin portion <NUM> may be equal to or smaller than the upper surface area of the second resin portion <NUM>.

Referring to <FIG>, a first resin portion <NUM> includes an upper surface RS1 disposed on the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, a first side surface RS2 disposed in front surface of the emission surface <NUM> of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, and a second side surface RS3 disposed on the rear surfaces (i.e., a side opposite to the emission surface) of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. As shown in <FIG>, the third and fourth side surfaces RS4 and RS5 disposed in the second direction of the first resin portion <NUM> may be spaced apart from the third and fourth outer surfaces S3 and S4. The second resin portion <NUM> may be disposed to surround both side surfaces RS2, RS3, RS4, and RS5 of the first resin portion <NUM>, so that an area of the first resin portion <NUM> may be reduced. It is possible to prevent a problem in which the outer portion of the first resin portion <NUM> is lifted. In addition, since the first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM> are disposed outside the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, moisture penetration through the third and fourth side surfaces RS4 and RS5 may be suppressed. A top view shape of the first resin portion <NUM> may be a polygonal shape, a circular shape, or an amorphous shape.

As shown in <FIG>, the resin layer <NUM> has a first resin portion <NUM> and a second resin portion <NUM> alternately disposed in a first direction, and the second resin portions <NUM> may be separated from each other by the first resin portion <NUM>. The first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM> may be exposed on the third outer side S3 and the fourth outer side S4, respectively. That is, the lengths of the first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM> in the second direction may be the same. The sum of the upper surface areas of the second resin portions <NUM> may be greater than the sum of the upper surface areas of the first resin portions <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG>, the first resin portion <NUM> of the resin layer <NUM> may be the same as the region of the light shielding portion <NUM>. Accordingly, the second resin portion <NUM> may be disposed along the periphery of the first resin portion <NUM> and may be exposed through the first to fourth outer surfaces S1, S2, S3, and S4.

As shown in <FIG>, since the first resin portion <NUM> of the resin layer <NUM> is disposed on the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, it is possible to protect the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, and may reduce a loss of light emitted from the light emitting device <NUM> and <NUM>. The upper surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> may be embedded in a lower portion of the first resin portion <NUM>. As shown in <FIG>, the first resin portion <NUM> may contact the surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and may contact the emission surfaces <NUM> of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. A part of the first resin portion <NUM> may be disposed in the opening <NUM> of the reflective member <NUM>. A part of the first resin portion <NUM> may contact the upper surface of the substrate <NUM> through the opening <NUM> of the reflective member <NUM>. Accordingly, a part of the first resin portion <NUM> is in contact with the substrate <NUM>, so that the reflective member <NUM> may be fixed between the first resin portion <NUM> and the substrate <NUM>.

The upper surface RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM> includes a lowermost end PS1 and an uppermost end PS2, a position of the lowermost end PS1 may be adjacent to the upper surface and/or the rear surface of the first and second light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, and a position of the uppermost end PS2 may be disposed at a position farthest from the first and second light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> or the lowermost end PS1 in a direction of the second outer surface S2. The height Z0 of the lowermost end PS1 may be equal to or higher than the height of the upper surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> with respect to the upper surface of the substrate <NUM> or the upper surface of the reflective member <NUM>. The height Z0 of the lowermost end PS1 may be <NUM> or more, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. The height Z1 of the uppermost end PS2 may be disposed equal to or higher than the upper surface of the second resin portion <NUM>. The lowermost end PS1 may be an upper end of the second side surface RS3, and the uppermost end PS2 may be an upper end of the first side surface RS2. The upper surface RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM> may have a height gradually higher from the lowermost end PS1 to the uppermost end PS2. The upper surface RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM> may be disposed at a height gradually higher as it moves away from each of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in the first direction. Here, the air region <NUM> may be provided as a region having a gradually smaller gap as the distance from each of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in the first direction increases. The upper surface RS1 of the region A2 vertically overlapping the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in the first resin portion <NUM> may be inclined or disposed horizontally. The air region <NUM> may be a region without a resin material. The second side surface RS3 of the first resin portion <NUM> may be in contact with or spaced apart from the rear surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. In this case, when the second side surface RS3 of the first resin portion <NUM> is disposed outside the rear surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, the manufacturing process of the second resin portion <NUM> may be convenient. A part of the first resin portion <NUM> may be disposed in the opening <NUM> of the reflective member <NUM>. The first side surface RS2 and the second side surface RS3 of the first resin portion <NUM> may contact the second resin portion <NUM>. In the first resin portion <NUM>, an interval between the second side surface RS3 in contact with the second resin portion <NUM> and the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> may be smaller than an interval between the first side surface RS2 in contact with the second resin portion <NUM> and the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. As shown in <FIG>, the first resin portion <NUM> may include a third side surface RS4 adjacent to the third outer surface S3 and a fourth side surface RS5 adjacent to the fourth outer surface S4. A second resin portion <NUM> may be disposed between the third side surface RS4 of the first resin portion <NUM> and the third outer side surface S3. A second resin portion <NUM> may be disposed between the fourth side surface RS4 and the fourth outer side surface S4 of the first resin portion <NUM>. The second resin portion <NUM> disposed outside the third and fourth side surfaces RS4 and RS5 of the first resin portion <NUM> protects the first resin portion <NUM>, and may suppress moisture penetration toward the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. A boundary portion between the third and fourth side surfaces RS4 and RS5 and the first and second side surfaces RS2 and RS3 may be an angled surface or a convex curved surface. The plurality of light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and a plurality of first resin portions <NUM> may be disposed between the outer side surfaces S1 and S2 of the second resin portion <NUM>. At least one of the second resin portions <NUM> may be disposed between the plurality of first resin portions <NUM>. As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the resin layer <NUM> may include a first protrusion P1 disposed in the first open region H1 and a second protrusion P2 disposed in the second open region H2. The first protrusion P1 may be attached to the upper surface of the substrate <NUM> along the first open region H1. The first protrusion P1 may be disposed in the first open region H1 to prevent a decrease in adhesion in the outer region of the reflective member <NUM> adjacent to the first outer surface S1 of the substrate <NUM>. The second protrusion P2 may be attached to the upper surface of the substrate <NUM> along the second open region H2. The second protrusion P2 may be disposed in the second open region H2 of the reflective member <NUM> and may prevent a decrease in adhesion in the outer region of the reflective member <NUM> adjacent to the second outer surface S2 of the substrate <NUM>.

The first protrusions P1 are arranged in a first direction, the second protrusions P2 are arranged in a first direction, and the first and second protrusions P1 and P2 may be spaced apart from each other in the second direction. The first protrusion P1 and the second protrusion P2 may protrude lower than the upper surface of the reflective member <NUM>. The first protrusion P1 and the second protrusion P2 may protrude toward a lower surface of the substrate <NUM>. The first protrusion P1 and the second protrusion P2 may prevent a problem that the edge region of the reflective member <NUM> is lifted, and may be disposed in a bezel region of a housing to which the lighting device is coupled.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the first and second protrusions P1 and P2 disposed in the first and second open regions H1 and H2 at a region of the first resin portion <NUM> may be formed of a material of the resin portion <NUM>. The first and second protrusions P1 and P2 disposed in the first and second open regions H1 and H2 at a region of the second resin portion <NUM> may be formed of a material of the second resin portion <NUM>. At least one of the first and second protrusions P1 and P2 may overlap with the first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM> in a vertical direction, and may be formed of a material of the first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM>. As shown in <FIG>, a region overlapping the first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM> in a vertical direction among the first and second protrusions P1 and P2 may be formed of a material of the first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, a thickness Z1 of the resin layer <NUM> may be <NUM> or more, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. When the thickness Z1 of the resin layer <NUM> is thicker than the above range, luminous intensity may be lowered, and it may be difficult to provide a soft device due to an increase in device thickness. When the thickness Z1 of the resin layer <NUM> is smaller than the above range, it is difficult to provide a surface light source having a uniform light intensity.

The length of the resin layer <NUM> in the first direction may be the same as the length of the substrate <NUM> in the first direction, and the width of the resin layer <NUM> in the second direction may be the same as the width (Y1, see <FIG>) of the second direction of the substrate <NUM>. Accordingly, each side surface of the resin layer <NUM> may be disposed on the same plane as each side surface of the substrate <NUM>. For example, the third and fourth outer surfaces S3 and S4 of the substrate <NUM> may be disposed on a vertical surface such as both sides of the resin layer <NUM>. The first resin portions <NUM> are provided in a size covering each of the plurality of light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and may be separated from each other or connected to each other.

As shown in <FIG>, the maximum thickness Z4 of the first resin portion <NUM> may be equal to, greater than or less than the thickness of the second resin portion <NUM>. In this case, the first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM> are formed by different processes, and the second resin portion <NUM> is formed after the first resin portion <NUM> is formed, or, conversely, the second resin portion <NUM> may be formed and then the first resin portion <NUM> may be formed. Accordingly, when the maximum thickness Z4 of the first resin portion <NUM> is the same as the thickness of the second resin portion <NUM>, the process of the first and second resin portions <NUM> and <NUM> may be convenient. The minimum thickness Z0 of the first resin portion <NUM> may be greater than the thickness of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, and may be smaller than the thickness of the second resin portion <NUM>. The adhesion of the upper surface of the second resin portion <NUM> may be higher than that of the upper surface of the first resin portion <NUM>. The upper surface RS1 of the first resin portion <NUM> may include a light shielding structure. The light shielding structure may include at least one of an inclined surface, a concave curved surface, and a convex curved surface. The light shielding structure may include one or a plurality of concave portions and one or a plurality of convex portions, and may be disposed adjacent to each other. The light shielding structure may be disposed on a region between the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and the second resin portion <NUM> to reflect or refract light emitted from the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. This light shielding structure may suppress hot spots caused by light emitted from the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. In the light shielding structure, since the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> emit light in a side direction, that is, in the first direction, a region capable of increasing light shielding efficiency by the distribution of the light directivity distribution of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and the light reflection characteristics may cover.

As shown in <FIG>, the light shielding portion <NUM> may face an upper surface of the substrate <NUM>. The light shielding portion <NUM> may overlap the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in a vertical direction. Each of the plurality of light shielding portions <NUM> may overlap each of the plurality of light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in a vertical direction. As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, an interval B1 between the light shielding portions <NUM> may be smaller than the interval X1 between the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The light shielding portion <NUM> may be spaced apart from the first and third outer surfaces S3 and S4 of the resin layer <NUM>. A plurality of the light shielding portions <NUM> may be arranged in the first direction. The plurality of light shielding portions <NUM> may have the same shape. The light shielding portion <NUM> may be divided into a first light shielding portion on the first light emitting device <NUM> and a second light shielding portion on the second light emitting device <NUM>. The first and second light shielding portions may be disposed above an emission direction of each of the first and second light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. As shown in <FIG>, the light shielding portion <NUM> may be disposed higher than the upper surface of the resin layer <NUM> or the upper surface of the second resin portion <NUM>. The light shielding portion <NUM> may be at least <NUM>% of the upper surface area of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> on the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, or may range from <NUM>% to <NUM>%. The light shielding portion <NUM> may be a region printed with a white material. The light shielding portion <NUM> may be printed using reflective ink containing any one of TiO<NUM>, Al<NUM>O<NUM>, CaCO<NUM>, BaSO<NUM>, and Silicon. The light shielding portion <NUM> reflects light emitted through the emission surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> to reduce the occurrence of hot spots on the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The light shielding portion <NUM> may print a shading pattern using shading ink. The light shielding portion <NUM> may be formed in a manner that is printed on a lower surface of the first diffusion layer <NUM>. The light shielding portion <NUM> does not block <NUM>% of incident light and may have a transmittance lower than a reflectance, so that the light may be blocked and diffused. The light shielding portion <NUM> may be formed in a single layer or in multiple layers, and may have the same pattern shape or different pattern shapes. The light shielding portion <NUM> may have the same thickness. The thickness of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be gradually thinner toward the emission direction based on the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The thickness of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be reduced in proportion to the incident light intensity. The size of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be disposed in a range of <NUM>% or more, for example, <NUM>% to <NUM>% of the upper surface area of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, and may block incident light. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the visible problem of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> from the outside, and reduce hot spots on the areas of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, thereby providing a uniform light distribution over the entire region. As another example, the light shielding portion <NUM> may be an air region of a recess etched by an etching process of the lower surface of the first diffusion layer <NUM> or may include a light shielding film in which the light shielding material is disposed in the recess region. The etching region may cover the emission surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and is disposed in a range of <NUM>% to <NUM>% of the upper surface area of of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, like a region of the light shielding portion. The light shielding portion <NUM> may be arranged in a hemispherical shape, an oval shape, or a circular shape with respect to the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, a width in the second direction of the region adjacent to the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in the light shielding portion <NUM> is small and gradually increases toward the center of the light shielding portion <NUM>, and a width (e.g., C3) in the second direction from the center may be maximized. The width of the second direction may gradually decrease from the central portion of the light shielding portion <NUM> in a direction away from the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The maximum width C3 in the second direction from the central portion of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be the largest, and the width in the second direction gradually decreases from the central portion of the light shielding portion <NUM> to the first direction. A region of the light shielding portion <NUM> overlapping the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in a vertical direction has a flat inner surface, and a width in the second direction may be greater than the length D1 in the second direction of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The minimum width of the light shielding portion <NUM> in the second direction is equal to the length D1 of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, or more than <NUM> larger than the length D1 of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, the light shielding portion <NUM> may be covered both sides of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and and may be prevented hot spots caused by light emitted from the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG>, the light shielding portion <NUM> includes a first region g1 vertically overlapping the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>, and a second region g2 extending in a first direction from the first region g1, a third region g3 extending from the first and second regions g1 and g2 in a direction of the third outer surface S3 of the substrate <NUM>, and a fourth region g4 extending from the first and second regions g1 and g2 in a direction the fourth outer surface S4 of the substrate <NUM>. The third and fourth regions g3 and g4 may extend from the first and second regions g1 and g2 in the direction of the third outer side surface S3 and in a direction of the fourth outer side surface S4 of the substrate <NUM>. The second to fourth regions g2 to g4 are disposed in upper peripheral regions of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and may not overlap the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in a vertical direction. An area of the first region g1 may be <NUM>% or more of the upper surface area of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. A light shielding area in the second region g2 may be the largest and may be larger than the light shielding area in the third and fourth areas g3 and g4. The first to fourth regions g1, g2, g3, and g4 block light through upper portions of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and upper portions of the emission regions, thereby suppressing the occurrence of hot spots. The outer portion of the region g2 may include a convex curved surface. The outer periphery of the second region g2 may have a convex curved surface from the center of the first light shielding portion toward the second light shielding portion. A distance between the outer portion of the second region g2 and the first region g1 may be the farthest from the center side and gradually narrowed toward the side. Outer portions of the third and fourth regions g3 and g4 may include the convex curved surface. The outer portions of the third and fourth regions g3 and g4 may include curved surfaces that are convex toward the third and fourth outer surfaces S3 and S4 of the substrate <NUM> from the center of the light shielding portion <NUM>. The outer periphery of the third region g3 may be the most convex at a center side, and may be connected to the outer periphery of the first region g1 by a convex curved surface, and may be connected to the outer periphery of the second region g2 by a convex curved surface. The outer periphery of the fourth region g4 may be the most convex at a center side, and may be connected to the outer periphery of the first region g1 by a convex curved surface, and may be connected to the outer periphery of the second region g2 by a convex curved surface. The distance between the outer portion of the third region g3 and the outer portion of the fourth region g4 may be the largest, and the distance gradually may decrease toward the side thereof.

The third region g3 of the light shielding portion <NUM> may overlap any one of the first open regions H1 in a vertical direction. The fourth region g4 of the light shielding portion <NUM> may overlap any one of the second open regions H2 in a vertical direction. The third regon g3 of the light shielding portion <NUM> may overlap with any one of the first protrusions P1 in a vertical direction. The fourth region g4 of the light shielding portion <NUM> may overlap with any one of the second protrusions P2 in a vertical direction. Among the first and second protrusions P1 and P2, protrusions overlapping the light shielding portion <NUM> in a vertical direction may be adjacent to both sides of the emission surface <NUM> of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The maximum length B3 in the first direction of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be equal to or smaller than the maximum width C3 in the second direction. The maximum width C3 may be <NUM> or more, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. The maximum width C3 of the light shielding portion <NUM> in the second direction may vary according to the length of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in the second direction. The maximum width C3 of the light shielding portion <NUM> in the second direction may be disposed in a range of <NUM>% or more, for example, <NUM>% to <NUM>% of the length Y1 of the substrate <NUM> in the second direction. The maximum length B3 in the first direction of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be in a range of <NUM> times or more, for example, <NUM> times to <NUM> times an interval between the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> (X1 in <FIG>). The maximum length B3 in the first direction of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be disposed in a range of <NUM> times or more, for example, <NUM> to <NUM> times the width of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> in the first direction. Here, the interval X1 between the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> may be <NUM> or more, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>, and may vary depending on the characteristics of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The light shielding portion <NUM> provides the maximum length B3 in the first direction passing through the center of the light shielding portion <NUM> and the maximum width C3 in the second direction in the above ranges, so that the hot spot on the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> may reduce and the light uniformity may improve. The central portion of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be disposed in a range of <NUM> or more, for example, <NUM> to <NUM> on the first region g1 overlapping the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM>. The thickness of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be <NUM> times or less, for example, <NUM> times to <NUM> times the thickness Z1 of the resin layer <NUM>. The thickness of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be <NUM> or more, for example, in a range of <NUM> to <NUM>. When the thickness of the light shielding portion <NUM> is smaller than the above range, there is a limit to reducing the hot spot, and when it is larger than the above range, the light uniformity may decrease. A distance between the upper surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and the lower surface of the light shielding portion <NUM> may be <NUM> or more, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. The distance Z0 between the upper surfaces of the light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> and the upper surface of the reflective member <NUM> may be <NUM> or more, for example, in a range of <NUM> to <NUM>. The region of the light shielding portion <NUM> may not overlap a region of the first adhesive layer <NUM> in a vertical direction.

Meanwhile, the air region <NUM> may be disposed between the resin layer <NUM> and the first diffusion layer <NUM>. The air region <NUM> may be disposed between the first resin portion <NUM> and the first diffusion layer <NUM>. The air region <NUM> may be disposed between the first resin portion <NUM> and the light shielding portion <NUM>. The air region <NUM> and the light shielding portion <NUM> may be disposed between the resin layer <NUM> and the first diffusion layer <NUM>. The air region <NUM> and the light shielding portion <NUM> may overlap the first resin portion <NUM> in a vertical direction.
