Patent ID: 8764209

Claim:
A light module including a planar light emitting device, comprising: a wiring board having a wiring pattern for feeding power to the planar light emitting device; and a drip-proof optical sheet, provided on a light emitting surface of the planar light emitting device, for adjusting distribution of light emitted from the planar light emitting device, wherein the planar light emitting device is accommodated in a hole defined by the wiring board, the planar light emitting device and the wiring board are bonded to the optical sheet by an adhesive and wholly covered by the optical sheet in a manner such that the planar light emitting device and the wiring board are flush with each other on a light emitting surface side of the light module, such that the optical sheet covers, at the light emitting surface side of the light module, the planar light emitting device and a gap between the planar light emitting device and the wiring board, electrodes of the planar light emitting device and the wiring pattern of the wiring board are electrically connected by aluminum wires, and the aluminum wires are clad with an ultraviolet curable resin.
