Each of the plurality of light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM> may overlap the exit surface S11 in the first direction and may not overlap the concave surface S13 in the first direction Y. Each of the plurality of light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM> may not overlap the recess portions C1 and C2 in the first direction Y.

As another example, the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM> may be an LED chip, and one surface of the LED chip may be opened and a reflective member may be disposed on the other surface of the LED chip.

As shown in <FIG>, the maximum distance D2 between the light emitting device <NUM> and the first surface S1 based on the light emitting device <NUM> may be different from the maximum distance D3 between the light emitting device <NUM> and the second surface S2. The distance D3 between the light emitting device <NUM> and the second surface S2 may be <NUM> or more, for example, may be in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. When the distance D3 between the light emitting device <NUM> and the second surface S2 is smaller than the above range, the region through which moisture may penetrate or form a circuit pattern may be reduced, and when it is larger than the above range, a size of the lighting device <NUM> may be increased. The maximum distance D2 may be a maximum distance between the exit surface S11 and the light emitting device <NUM> or a linear distance between the light emitting device <NUM> and the vertices of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3. The maximum distance D2 may be <NUM> or more, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM> or in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. When the maximum distance D2 is smaller than the above range, a hot spot may be generated, and when it is larger than the above range, the module size may be increased. The distance D1 between the straight line connecting the concave surfaces S13 and each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM> may be <NUM> or more, for example, in a range of <NUM> to <NUM>, and when the distance D1 is smaller than the above range, a depth D4 of the recess portions C1 and C2 may be increased or the maximum distance D2 may be decreased, so that dark portions may be generated in the recess portions C1 and C2. The distance D1 may vary depending on the light beam angle of each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>. That is, when the distance between the straight lines connecting both ends of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM> is too close, the light may be condensed to the center region of the exit surface S11, when it is far away, light may be irradiated to the concave surface S13, so that the luminous intensity through the exit surface S11 may be reduced. The maximum length W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 in the first direction is the distance between the adjacent recess portions C1 and C2, and is equal to or smaller than the interval G1 between the light emitting devices <NUM>. When the maximum length W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 is greater than the interval G1 between the light emitting devices <NUM>, two or more light emitting devices <NUM> are located in the region on the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 to increase the luminous intensity, but there may be difficulties in controlling the light distribution. When the maximum length W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 is smaller than the interval G1 between the light emitting devices <NUM>, the size of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 is small, thereby providing a uniform distribution of light, but the luminance intensity may be reduced. The maximum length W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may be <NUM> or more, for example, in a range of <NUM> to <NUM>. The maximum length W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may be greater than the depth D4 of the recess portions C1 and C2. A ratio of the maximum length W1 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 to the depth D4 of the recess portions C1 and C2 may be in the range of <NUM>:<NUM> to <NUM>:<NUM>. When the depths of the recess portions C1 and C2 are smaller than the above range, a dark region between the adjacent convex portions P1, P2 and P3 may be increased. When the depths of the recess portions C1 and C2 are greater than the above range, the depth of the recess portions C1 and C2 may extend to a region adjacent to the light emitting device <NUM>, thereby increasing optical interference between the light emitting devices <NUM>. The depth D4 of the recess portions C1 and C2 may be a straight-line distance between the troughs of the recess portions C1 and C2 from a straight line connecting the vertices of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3.

As shown in <FIG>, the resin layer <NUM> and the light emitting device <NUM> may be disposed on the substrate <NUM>. The first reflective layer <NUM> may be disposed between the resin layer <NUM> and the substrate <NUM>. The resin layer <NUM> may be in contact with upper surface and side surfaces of each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>. The resin layer <NUM> may be in contact with an upper surface of the first reflective layer <NUM>. A portion of the resin layer <NUM> may be in contact with the substrate <NUM> through a hole in the first reflective layer <NUM>. The resin layer <NUM> may be in contact with the emission portion <NUM> of each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>. The first surface S1, the second surface S2, the third surface S3, and the fourth surface S4 of the resin layer <NUM> are outer surfaces between the first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM>. An upper surface of the resin layer <NUM> may be in contact with the second reflective layer <NUM>, and a lower surface of the resin layer <NUM> may be in contact with the first reflective layer <NUM>. The upper and lower surfaces of the resin layer <NUM> may be a horizontal plane or a surface having a curvature. When there is no the first reflective layer <NUM>, the lower surface of the resin layer <NUM> may be in contact with the substrate <NUM>. The area of the lower surface of the resin layer <NUM> may be the same as the area of the upper surface of the substrate <NUM>. The area of the lower surface of the resin layer <NUM> may be the same as the area of the upper surface of the first reflective layer <NUM>. An area of the upper surface of the resin layer <NUM> may be the same as an area of an upper surface of the second reflective layer <NUM>. The length of the resin layer <NUM> in the second direction X may be the same as the length (e.g., X1) of the substrate <NUM>. The maximum length of the resin layer <NUM> in the second direction X may be the same as the maximum length of the first reflective layer <NUM> or the second reflective layer <NUM>. The maximum length (e.g., Y1) of the resin layer <NUM> in the first direction Y may be the same as a maximum length of the substrate <NUM>. The maximum length (e.g., Y1 ) of the resin layer <NUM> in the first direction Y may be the same as the maximum length of the first reflective layer <NUM>. The maximum length (e.g., Y1) of the resin layer <NUM> in the first direction Y may be the same as the maximum length of the second reflective layer <NUM>. The minimum length of the resin layer <NUM> in the first direction Y may be the same as the minimum length of the substrate <NUM>. The minimum length of the resin layer <NUM> in the first direction Y may be the same as the minimum length of the first reflective layer <NUM> or the second reflective layer <NUM>. The maximum length Y1 in the first direction Y may be a length between the vertices or peaks of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 of the lighting device and the second surface S2, and the minimum length may be a length between a point of the concave surface S13 of the lighting device and the second surface S2. The resin layer <NUM> may be disposed between the first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM>. The first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM> may have the same area as each other and face the upper and lower surfaces of the resin layer <NUM>. Accordingly, the resin layer <NUM> may diffuse the light emitted from the light emitting device <NUM> and the light reflected by the first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM> to guide and emit the light in the direction of the first surface S1.

As shown in <FIG>, the resin layer <NUM> may have a thickness Zb greater than that of the light emitting device <NUM>. Here, the thickness of the light emitting device <NUM> is a length in a vertical direction of the light emitting device <NUM> and may be smaller than a length in the first direction Y. The thickness of the light emitting device <NUM> may be <NUM> or less, for example, <NUM> or less. The thickness of the light emitting device <NUM> may be in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. A portion of the resin layer <NUM> may be disposed between each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM> and the second reflective layer <NUM>. Accordingly, the resin layer <NUM> may protect the upper portions of each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM> and prevent moisture penetration. Since the substrate <NUM> is disposed on the lower portion of the light emitting device <NUM> and the resin layer <NUM> is disposed on the upper portion of the light emitting device <NUM>, each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM> may be protected. Accordingly, the interval between the upper surface of the resin layer <NUM> and the upper surface of each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, <NUM> may be <NUM> or less, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. An upper portion of the resin layer <NUM> may extend over each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM> to protect the upper portions of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>. As shown in <FIG>, the convex surface or the exit surface S11 of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may have a first curvature. The concave surface S13 may be flat or have a greater curvature than the first curvature. Here, the radius of curvature of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may be in the range of <NUM> or more, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM> or in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. When the radius of curvature of each of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 is smaller than the above range, the improvement in luminous intensity is insignificant. When the concave surface S13 has a curvature, the radius of curvature of the concave surface S13 may be less than <NUM> times smaller than the radius of curvature of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3. A ratio of the radius of curvature of the concave surface S13 to the radius of curvature of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may be in the range of <NUM>:<NUM> to <NUM>:<NUM>. When the radius of curvature of the concave surface S13 is smaller than the above range, the amount of light emitted through the concave surface S13 is reduced to increase the dark portion. When the radius of curvature of the concave surface S13 is smaller than the above range, the amount of light emitted through the concave surface S13 may be reduced and the dark portion may be increased, when it is greater than the above range, a size of the convex portions P1, P2 and P3 may be reduced and a light interference between the light emitting devices <NUM> may occur. Accordingly, the depth D4 and the radius of curvature of the concave surface S13 may consider a position of the light emitting device <NUM> and an angle of beam spread of the light emitting device <NUM>, and may be a range for improving light uniformity through the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the recess portions C1 and C2 and suppressing dark portions on the recess portions C1 and C2. The radius of curvature of the concave surface S13 may be in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. Since the concave surface S13 has a predetermined curvature and is provided in a curved shape, it is possible to refract and transmit incident light, thereby reducing the occurrence of dark portions on the recess portions C1 and C2.

As shown in <FIG>, the thickness Zb of the resin layer <NUM> may be a distance between the upper and lower surfaces of the resin layer <NUM>. The thickness Zb of the resin layer <NUM> may be a vertical distance between the first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM>. The thickness Zb may be equal to the distance between the first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM>. The thickness Zb may be smaller than a distance between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2. For example, a distance between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may include the maximum length Y1 and the minimum length. The maximum length Y1 in the first direction Y may be a linear distance between the apex of the convex portion P1 and the second surface S2. A distance or an interval between the third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4 of the resin layer <NUM> may be greater than a distance between a peak of the convex portion P1 and the second surface S2. The minimum length in the first direction Y may be a linear distance between the concave surface S13 and the second surface S2. The distance or interval between the first reflective layer <NUM> and the second reflective layer <NUM> may be smaller than the distance or interval between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 of the resin layer <NUM>. Since the distance between the first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM> may have smaller than the length or minimum width in the first direction Y of the lighting device <NUM>, the surface light source in the form of a line may provide through the first direction Y, it may improve a luminous intensity and prevent hot spots. In addition, the lighting device may have a constant thickness and may be provided with a flexible characteristic that may be convex or concave in the third direction Z. The thickness Zb of the resin layer <NUM> may be less than twice the thickness of the light emitting device <NUM>, for example, more than <NUM> to <NUM> times or less than the thickness of the light emitting device <NUM>. The thickness Zb of the resin layer <NUM> may be <NUM> or less, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM> or in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. The thickness Zb of the resin layer <NUM> may be <NUM> times or less of the thickness Z1 of the lighting device <NUM>, for example, in a range of <NUM> times to <NUM> times the thickness Z1 of the lighting device <NUM>. Since a thickness of the resin layer <NUM> may have a difference of <NUM> or less from the thickness Z1 of the lighting device <NUM>, a decreased in a light efficiency in the lighting device <NUM> may be prevented and ductility characteristics may be enhanced. The thickness Zb of the resin layer <NUM> may be smaller than a length or a maximum length in the second direction X of each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>. The thickness Zb of the resin layer <NUM> may be smaller than the maximum length W1 of the exit surface S11 in the second direction X. That is, by providing the thickness Zb of the slim resin layer <NUM>, a line-shaped surface light source may be provided through the first surface S1 in one direction. The resin layer <NUM> may include a resin material such as silicone, silicone molding compound (SMC), epoxy, or epoxy molding compound (EMC). The resin layer <NUM> may include a UV (ultra violet) curable resin or a thermosetting resin material, for example, may selectively include PC, OPS, PMMA, PVC, and the like. For example, the main material of the resin layer <NUM> may be used of a resin material having a urethane acrylate oligomer as a main material. For example, a mixture of urethane acrylate oligomer, which is a synthetic oligomer, and a polymer type, which is polyacrylic. Of course, there may further include a mixed monomer with low-boiling dilution-type reactive monomer IBOA (isobornyl acrylate), HPA (Hydroxylpropyl acrylate, <NUM>-HEA (<NUM>-hydroxyethyl acrylate), etc., and may be mixed a photoinitiator (for example, <NUM> -hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl-ketone, etc.) or antioxidants as an additive.

A bead (not shown) may be included in the resin layer <NUM>, and the bead may diffuse and reflect incident light, thereby increasing the amount of light. The resin layer <NUM> may include a phosphor. The phosphor may include at least one of yellow, green, blue, and red phosphors. In the resin layer <NUM>, the region in which the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 are formed may serve as a lens portion. The lens portion of the resin layer <NUM> is provided in a lens shape having a convex convex surface, and may include a hemispherical shape, a semicircular shape, a semi-elliptical shape, or an aspherical shape when viewed from a top view. The lens may include a collimator lens. The closer the lens portion is to the peak corresponding to the center of the light emitting device <NUM>, the further the distance between the lens portion and the light emitting device <NUM>. The thickness of the lens portion in the third direction Z may be the thickness of the resin layer <NUM>. Since the lens portion has flat upper and lower surfaces and has a curved surface in a direction if the first surface S1, it is possible to diffuse light incident in a direction of the first surface S1. The lens portion may be disposed between the first and second flat reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM> on the upper and lower portions thereof, and may refract light to the first surface S1 and emit the light. The lens portion may refract light incident to a region deviating from the optical axis with respect to the optical axis at an exit angle greater than an incidence angle. When the lighting device <NUM> has a curve due to its ductility, the resin layer <NUM> and the first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM> may include curved regions instead of being flat. Each of the exit surfaces S11 of the resin layer <NUM> may emit light emitted from each of the respective light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>. In the resin layer <NUM>, the recess portions C1 and C2 disposed between the convex portions P1, P2 and P3 may be provided as recess portions in the direction of the second surface S2. The recess portions C1 and C2 of the resin layer <NUM> may be formed on the concave surface S13 of the resin layer <NUM>. Since the light emitted from each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM> and <NUM> is emitted from the region between the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 through the recess portions C1 and C2, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of dark portions on the recess portions C1 and C2. Here, when the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the recess portions C1 and C2 are disposed on the resin layer <NUM>, one side direction of each of the substrate <NUM> and the first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM> may be provided in a shape corresponding to the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the recess portions C1 and C2. The number of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 or the lens portions of the resin layer <NUM> may be the same as the number of each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the first reflective layer <NUM> may reflect the light emitted from the light emitting device <NUM>. The first reflective layer <NUM> may be formed as an upper layer of the substrate <NUM> or as a separate layer. The first reflective layer <NUM> may be adhered to the upper surface of the substrate <NUM> with an adhesive. The resin layer <NUM> may be adhered to the upper surface of the first reflective layer <NUM>. The first reflective layer <NUM> has a plurality of holes <NUM> in a region corresponding to the lower surface of the light emitting device <NUM>, and the light emitting device <NUM> may be connected to the substrate <NUM> through the holes <NUM>. A portion of the resin layer <NUM> may be in contact with the substrate <NUM> through the hole <NUM>. The hole <NUM> may be a region in which the light emitting device <NUM> is bonded to the substrate <NUM>. The first reflective layer <NUM> may have a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The first reflective layer <NUM> may include a material that reflects light, for example, a metal or a non-metal material. When the first reflective layer <NUM> is a metal, it may include a metal layer such as stainless steel, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag), and in the case of a non-metal, it may include a white resin material or a plastic material. The first reflective layer <NUM> may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The first reflective layer <NUM> may include at least one of a low reflection film, a high reflection film, a diffuse reflection film, and a regular reflection film. The first reflective layer <NUM> may be provided, for example, as a specular reflective film for reflecting incident light to the first surface S1.

As shown in <FIG>, the thickness Zc of the first reflective layer <NUM> may be smaller than the thickness Za of the substrate <NUM>. The thickness Zc of the first reflective layer <NUM> may be <NUM> times or more and less than <NUM> times the thickness Za of the substrate <NUM> to reduce transmission loss of incident light. The thickness Zc of the first reflective layer <NUM> may be in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>, and when it is smaller than the above range, light transmission loss may occur, and when it is thicker than the above range, the thickness Zc of the lighting device <NUM> may increase. The second reflective layer <NUM> may be disposed on an entire upper surface of the resin layer <NUM> to reduce light loss. The second reflective layer <NUM> may be made of the same material as the first reflective layer <NUM>. In order to reflect light and reduce transmission loss of light, the second reflective layer <NUM> may be made of a material having a higher light reflectance than that of the first reflective layer <NUM> or may have a thicker thickness. The second reflective layer <NUM> may have a thickness equal to or greater than the thickness Zc of the first reflective layer <NUM>. For example, the first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM> may be provided with the same material and the same thickness. The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer <NUM> may be equal to or smaller than the thickness Za of the substrate <NUM>. The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer <NUM> is at least <NUM> times the thickness Za of the substrate <NUM>, for example, in the range of <NUM> times to <NUM> time to reduce transmission loss of incident light. The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer <NUM> may be in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>, and when it is smaller than the above range, light transmission loss may occur, and when it is thicker than the above range, the thickness Z1 of the lighting device <NUM> may increase. The second reflective layer <NUM> may be formed in a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The second reflective layer <NUM> may include a material that reflects light, for example, a metal or a non-metal material. When the second reflective layer <NUM> is a metal, it may include a metal layer such as stainless steel, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag), and in the case of a non-metallic material, it may include a white resin material or a plastic material. The second reflective layer <NUM> may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The second reflective layer <NUM> may include at least one of a low reflection film, a high reflection film, a diffuse reflection film, and a regular reflection film. The second reflective layer <NUM> may be provided as a specular reflective film so that, for example, incident light travels in the direction of the first surface S1. The first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM> may be made of the same material or different materials. The stacked structure of the substrate <NUM>, the first reflective layer <NUM>, the resin layer <NUM>, and the second reflective layer <NUM> may include a structure of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the recess portions C1 and C2 in one direction. The convex portions P1, P2, and P3 have flat upper and lower surfaces, and may include a curved or hemispherical shape in the first direction Y. The recess portions C1 and C2 may include a flat or concave curved surface in the direction of the second surface S2. At least one or both of the exit surface S11 and the concave surface S13 of the resin layer <NUM> may be treated as a haze surface, thereby diffusing light. The haze surface may be formed as a surface rougher than the inner surface of the resin layer <NUM> to diffuse the emitted light.

The lighting device <NUM> according to an embodiment of the invention may provide the thickness Z1 in the third direction Z in the form of a line, thereby providing a surface light source in the form of the line and having ductility. The thickness Z1 of the lighting device <NUM> may be <NUM> or less, for example, <NUM> or less, or may be in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>. That is, the lighting device <NUM> may be provided as a line-shaped surface light source of <NUM> or less. As another example, the lighting device <NUM> may be arranged in a range of <NUM> to <NUM>, in which case, the thickness of the lighting device <NUM> is increased, but since the thickness of the resin layer <NUM> is increased, the line width may be increased and the light distribution region may increase.

As shown in <FIG>, the lighting device <NUM> according to an embodiment of the invention may include a light extraction layer <NUM> disposed on the first surface S1. The light extraction layer <NUM> may be disposed on the first surface S1 of the resin layer <NUM>. The light extraction layer <NUM> may extend from the side surface of the substrate <NUM> to the side surface of the second reflective layer <NUM> on the first surface S1. As another example, as shown in <FIG>, the light extraction layer <NUM> may extend from the side surface of the first reflective layer <NUM> to the side surface of the second reflective layer <NUM> on the first surface S1. The vertical height of the light extraction layer <NUM> may be a height (e.g., Z1) from the lower surface of the substrate <NUM> to the upper surface of the second reflective layer <NUM>, or a height from the lower surface of the first reflective layer <NUM> to the upper surface of the second reflective layer <NUM>. The light extraction layer <NUM> may be attached or adhered to the first surface S1 of the resin layer <NUM>. The light extraction layer <NUM> may be attached to or adhered to at least one of side surfaces of the substrate <NUM> and side surfaces of the first and second reflective layers <NUM> and <NUM>. An adhesive layer (not shown) may be disposed between the inner surfaces of the light extraction layer <NUM> and the first surface S1. The adhesive layer may include a transparent resin material such as silicone or epoxy. The light extraction layer <NUM> is a light-transmitting member, and may be a diffusion layer or an optical layer. The material of the light extraction layer <NUM> may include a synthetic resin or a photocurable resin, for example, polyesters, epoxy-based resins, polyester (meth) acrylate, epoxy (meth) acrylate, urethane (meth)acrylate-based resins such as acrylates; and mixtures thereof. In addition, the light extraction layer <NUM> may be, for example, a material of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET), polytrimethyleneterephtalate (PTT), polybutyleneterephtalate (PBT), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polytrimethylene naphthalate (PTN), polybutylene naphthalate (PBN), polycyclohexadimethylene terephthalate (PCT), polycyclohexadimethylene naphthalate (PCN), polycyclohexadimethylene cyclohexadimethylcarboxylate (PCC), and the like. Among these, PET, PEN, PCT, and PCN are preferable, and in particular, any one of PTN, PET, and PEN can be used. The refractive index of the material of the light extraction layer <NUM> may be less than or equal to <NUM>, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM>, thereby preventing a decrease in luminance. The light extraction layer <NUM> may be disposed along the first surface S1 of the resin layer <NUM> to improve the luminance of the light emitted through the exit surface S11 of the first surface S1. The light extraction layer <NUM> may have a concave-convex pattern or a prism pattern on the outer surface to diffuse the incident light, thereby improving the uniformity of the light. The light extraction layer <NUM> may be disposed along the exit surface S11 and the concave surface S13 of the resin layer <NUM>.

The light extraction layer <NUM> includes a first extraction portion F1 and a second extraction portion F2 disposed in one direction, and the first extraction portion F1 includes a plurality of protrusions, and the second extraction portion F2 may include a plurality of grooves respectively disposed between the protrusions. The first extraction portion F1 may protrude from a body or base portion of the light extraction layer <NUM>, and the second extraction portion F2 may have an outer surface of the light extraction layer <NUM>. The grooves may be respectively disposed between the plurality of protrusions. The protrusions and grooves may be alternately disposed, and a distance between the protrusions may be constant. For example, the distance between the protrusions on the exit surface may be constant. The inner surface of the light extraction layer <NUM> may include a first region having a convex curvature along the exit surface S11 and a second region having a concave or flat surface along the concave surface S13. The first region may be a surface corresponding to the outer surface of the exit surface S11 or the convex portions P1, P2, and P3, and the second region may be a region corresponding to the concave surface S13. The first extraction portion F1 may have a hemispherical side cross-sectional shape. An outer surface of the first extraction portion F1 may be a convex curved surface. As another example, as shown in <FIG>, the first extraction portion F1 may have a triangular shape. The second extraction portion F2 may be an outer surface connecting between the protrusions. The surface of the second extraction portion F2 may include a curved surface.

As shown in <FIG>, the height of the first extraction portion F1, that is, the length in the third direction Z may be greater than the thickness (e.g., Zb) of the resin layer <NUM>, and the first extraction portion F1 may extend from a side surface of the substrate <NUM> to a side surface of the second reflective layer <NUM>. The height of the first extraction portion F1 in the third direction Z may be the same as the height of the light extraction layer <NUM>. As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the maximum width B1 of the first extraction portion F1 may be greater than the thickness B3 of the first extraction portion F1. The maximum width B1 of the first extraction portion F1 may be a width of a lower end of the protrusion, and may be <NUM> micrometers or more, for example, in a range of <NUM> to <NUM> micrometers. The thickness B3 of the first extraction portion F1 may be the maximum thickness of the protrusion, and may be the maximum length protruding in the first direction Y. The maximum thickness B3 of the first extraction portion F1 may be <NUM> micrometers or more, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM> micrometers. The maximum width B1 of the first extraction portion F1 may be two times or more than the maximum thickness B3, for example, in a range of <NUM> times to <NUM> times the maximum thickness B3. The width B2 of the second extraction portion F2 may be equal to or smaller than the thickness B3 of the first extraction portion F1, and may be <NUM> micrometers or more, for example, in a range of <NUM> to <NUM> micrometers. A maximum width of the first extraction portion F1 may be smaller than a vertical height.

When the maximum width B1 of the first extraction portion F1 is smaller than the above range, the amount of incident light may be reduced or the light uniformity may be lowered, and when it is greater than the above range, the adhesive force with the curved surface of the exit surface S11 may be lowered or the light loss may be increased. The thickness B3 of the first extraction portion F1 may consider refraction of light or guiding efficiency of light, when it is smaller than the above range, diffusion efficiency may be lowered, and when it is larger than the above range, light uniformity may be lowered. Five or more convex protrusions may be disposed along the exit surface S11 in the first extraction portion F1 to diffuse the light incident through the exit surface S11. Two or more protrusions of the first extraction portion F1 may correspond to each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>. Accordingly, the uniformity of the light emitted through the light extraction layer <NUM> may be improved. In this case, the dark portion that may be generated on the recess portions C1 and C2 may be improved by the light extraction layer <NUM>. The maximum thickness of the light extraction layer <NUM> may be smaller than the maximum width B1 of the first extraction portion F1. Since the light extraction layer <NUM> is provided with a thickness that does not deteriorate the ductility characteristics, it is closely adhered along the first surface S1 of the resin layer <NUM>, that is, the exit surface S11 and the concave surface S13 to prevent the problem of separation from the first surface S1. Here, the concave surface S13 may have the first extraction portion F1 or the second extraction portion F2 disposed therein, but is not limited thereto.

As shown in <FIG>, a first end Fa of the light extraction layer <NUM> may be adhered to the third surface S3, and the second end Fb may be disposed on the fourth surface S4. The first end Fa of the light extraction layer <NUM> may be overlapped with the first light emitting device <NUM> located first in the second direction X. The second end Fb of the light extraction layer <NUM> may overlap the third light emitting device <NUM> located last in the second direction X. Since the first and second ends Fa and Fb of the light extraction layer <NUM> overlap the light emitting device <NUM> in the second direction X, a loss of the light emitted from the light emitting device <NUM> having a distribution of a predetermined angle of beam spread may reduce. The first and second ends Fa and Fb of the light extraction layer <NUM> may extend in the direction of the second side surface S2 rather than the straight line Xc passing through the emission portion <NUM> of the light emitting device <NUM>. Accordingly, light loss due to the light extraction layer <NUM> on the third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4 of the resin layer <NUM> may be reduced. Since the first and second ends Fa and Fb of the light extraction layer <NUM> are disposed closer to imaginary straight line Xc connecting the emission portions <NUM> of the light emitting device <NUM> rather than an imaginary straight line Xb connecting the plurality of concave surfaces S13, it is possible to reduce the loss of light progressing in the direction of the third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4 of the resin layer <NUM>. According to an embodiment of the invention, the imaginary straight line Xb extending the plurality of concave surfaces S13 may be disposed on a horizontal straight line or may be disposed in the form of an inclined oblique line. The imaginary straight line Xa connecting the plurality of exit surfaces S <NUM> may be disposed on a horizontal straight line or may be disposed in the form of an inclined oblique line. In this case, the distance (e.g., D4) between the two straight lines Xa and Xb may be the same or may decrease toward the fourth surface.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, a shape of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 or the exit surface S11 of the resin layer <NUM> may include a hemispherical shape, a semicircular shape, a semi-elliptical shape, or an aspherical shape. Here, a portion of the light emitting device <NUM> may disposed in a virtual circle Q4 passing at least two of the center points among a center point and points in contact with the concave surface S13 along the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 or the exit surface S11. The central axis Ya passing through the center Pr of the virtual circle Q4 and the center of the light emitting device <NUM> may be vertical or <NUM> degrees with respect to the imaginary straight line Xc passing through the emission portion <NUM> of the light emitting device <NUM>. In this case, the central axes on the different convex portions P1, P2, and P3 may be parallel to each other. The angle W1 between the points in contact with the two adjacent concave surfaces S13 with respect to the center of the light emitting device <NUM> may consider the angel of beam spread, and may range from, for example, in a range of <NUM> to <NUM> degrees. When the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the exit surface S11 have a hemispherical shape, the distance Rr from the exit surface S11 based on the center Pr of the virtual circle may be contacted with a curved surface along the radius of curvature.

Here, as shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, when light is irradiated toward a target in which the angle between Ya and Xc has the same focal length disposed on the plurality of convex portions P1, P2, and P3, the different light emitting devices <NUM>, 101A, and 101B or the different central axes Yb may be shifted or tilted according to the target direction. Accordingly, in any of the convex portions P1, P2, and P3, the angle between Ya and Xc may be greater than or equal to <NUM> degrees, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM> degrees. That is, the central axes Ya, Ya1, and Ya2 passing through the center of each light emitting device <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM> and the center of the virtual circle may extend to converge to a certain point (target). That is, the central axes Ya, Ya1, and Ya2 on the different convex portions P1, P1a, and P1b may not be parallel to each other.

At this time, the imaginary straight line Xa passing through the adjacent convex portions P1, P1a, and P1b or the exit surfaces S1 may be inclined at a predetermined angle Q5 from the horizontal straight line X0. The angle Q5 may be greater than or equal to <NUM> degrees, may vary depending on the number of light emitting devices, and may be at most <NUM> degrees or less.

Referring to <FIG> and <FIG>, in the light extraction layer <NUM>, the first extraction portion F3 may have a triangular cross-sectional shape. The outer surface of the first extraction portion F3 has a structure having a prism pattern, and may have a shape in which a vertex portion is an angled surface or a vertex is a curved surface. The second extraction portion F4 is an outer surface connecting between the protrusions, and may include a curved surface. The height of the first extraction portion F3 in the third direction Z may be greater than the thickness Zb of the resin layer <NUM> (see <FIG>), and may be extended from the side of the substrate <NUM> to the side of the second reflective layer <NUM>. The height of the first extraction portion F3 in the third direction Z may be the same as the height of the light extraction layer <NUM>. The maximum width B1 of the first extraction portion F3 may be equal to or smaller than the maximum thickness B3 of the first extraction portion F3. The maximum width B1 of the first extraction portion F3 is the width of the lower end of the protrusion, and may be in the range of <NUM> micrometers or more, for example, in a range of <NUM> to <NUM> micrometers. The thickness B3 of the first extraction portion F3 is the maximum thickness of the protrusion, and may be the maximum length protruding in the first direction. The thickness B3 of the first extraction portion F3 may be <NUM> micrometers or more, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM> micrometers. The width B2 of the second extraction portion F4 may be equal to or smaller than the thickness B3 of the first extraction portion F3, and may be <NUM> micrometers or more, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM> micrometers. When the maximum width of the first extraction portion F3 is smaller than the above range, the amount of incident light may be reduced or the light uniformity may be reduced, and when it is larger than the above range, the adhesion force with the curved surface of the exit surface S11 may be reduced or light loss may be increased. The thickness B3 of the first extraction portion F3 may take into account the refraction of light or the guiding efficiency of light due to the prism pattern shape. When it is smaller than the above range, the diffusion efficiency may decrease, and when it is larger than the above range, the light uniformity may decrease. The maximum width of the first extraction portion F3 may be smaller than the height in the vertical direction. Five or more convex protrusions may be disposed along the exit surface S11 in the first extraction portion F3 to diffuse the light incident through the exit surface S11. Two or more protrusions of the first extraction portion F3 may correspond to each of the light emitting devices <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>. Accordingly, the uniformity of the light emitted through the light extraction layer <NUM> may be improved. In this case, the dark portion that may be generated on the recess portions C1 and C2 may be improved by the light extraction layer <NUM>.

Referring to <FIG>, an angle R0 between the center of the light emitting device <NUM> and a lower point of the recess portion C0 based on a straight line passing through the center of the light emitting device <NUM> and the center of the convex portion P0 may be greater than or equal to <NUM> degrees, for example, in the range of <NUM> to <NUM> degrees. The recess portion C0 are spaced apart at the above angle R0, so that light is received from the light emitting device <NUM>, refracted, and emitted to the outside. The convex portion P0 and the recess portion C0 may include the convex portions P1, P2, and P3 and the recess portions C1 and C2 shown in <FIG>.

As shown in <FIG>, the lighting device according to the embodiment is convexly bent in a downward direction or a substrate direction toward the center region with respect to the third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4, or may be convexly curved in an up direction or a direction of the second reflective layer. As shown in <FIG>, the lighting device according to the embodiment may include a convex region in an up direction or in a direction of the second reflective layer toward the four surface S4 from the third surface S3, and at least one concave region in a down direction or a substrate direction between the convex regions or between the convex region and an adjacent region. The convex region and the concave region may be alternately arranged with each other.

The embodiments, modifications, or other examples disclosed above may be selectively mixed with each other or replaced with structures of other examples, and the embodiments disclosed above may be selectively applied to each example. In addition, a reflective layer or a reflective film made of a resin material may be attached to the second, third and fourth surfaces S2, S3, and S4 of the resin layer <NUM> except for the first surface. Such a reflective layer or reflective film may block light leakage in the non-emissive region.

In an embodiment of the invention, when the thickness of the resin layer <NUM> is provided to be <NUM> or less in the lighting device, or to be thicker, for example, in a range of <NUM> to <NUM>, the light emitting area is increased due to the increase in the thickness of the resin layer <NUM>, and light distribution may be improved. The lighting device according to an embodiment of the invention may be applied to a lamp as shown in <FIG>. The lamp is an example of a vehicle lamp, and is applicable to the vehicle lamp such as a head lamp, a side lamp, a side mirror lamp, a fog lamp, a tail lamp, a brake lamp, a daytime running lamp, a vehicle interior lighting, a door scar, a rear combination lamp, or a backup lamp.

Referring to <FIG>, the lighting device <NUM> having the first and second light emitting devices <NUM> and <NUM> described above may be coupled to the lamp inside a housing <NUM> having an inner lens <NUM>. The thickness of the lighting device <NUM> is such that it may be inserted into the inner width of the housing <NUM>. The width Z3 of the emission portion <NUM> of the inner lens <NUM> may be equal to or less than twice the thickness of the lighting device <NUM>, thereby preventing a decrease in luminous intensity. The inner lens <NUM> may be spaced apart from the front surface of the lighting device <NUM> by a predetermined distance, for example, <NUM> or more. An outer lens <NUM> may be disposed on the emission side of the inner lens <NUM>. The lamp having such a lighting device <NUM> is an example, and may be applied to other lamps in a flexible structure, for example, a curved or curved structure when viewed from the side.
