Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A light-emitting module includes: a base body including electrical conductor wirings; a light-emitting element disposed on the base body and electrically connected to the electrical conductor wirings; a light reflection film disposed on an upper surface of the light-emitting element; and a half mirror disposed on a light extraction surface side of the light-emitting element and spaced apart from the light-emitting element. A spectral reflectance of the half mirror under perpendicular incidence at a wavelength longer than a peak emission wavelength of a light emitted from the light-emitting element is greater than a spectral reflectance of the half mirror under perpendicular incidence at the peak emission wavelength.

First claim

What is claimed is: 1. A light-emitting module comprising: a base body comprising electrical conductor wirings; a light-emitting element disposed on the base body and electrically connected to the electrical conductor wirings; a light reflection film disposed on an upper surface of the light-emitting element; and a half mirror disposed on a light extraction surface side of the light-emitting element and spaced apart from the light-emitting element; wherein a spectral reflectance of the half mirror under perpendicular incidence at a wavelength longer than a peak emission wavelength of light emitted from the light-emitting element is greater than a spectral reflectance of the half mirror under perpendicular incidence at the peak emission wavelength, and wherein, when an emission peak wavelength region is defined as a wavelength region with a predetermined width including a peak emission wavelength at a center thereof, a spectral reflectance of the half mirror under perpendicular incidence in a wavelength region located 50 nm from the emission peak wavelength region on a longer wavelength side of the light-emitting element is 10% or more greater than a spectral reflectance of the half mirror under perpendicular incidence in the emission peak wavelength region of the light-emitting element. 2. The light-emitting module of claim 1 , wherein a spectral reflectance of the half mirror under perpendicular incidence in the emission peak wavelength region of the light-emitting element is in a range of 30% to 65%. 3. The light-emitting module of claim 1 , further comprising: a sealing member covering the light-emitting element and the light reflection film; wherein a ratio H/W of a height H to a width W of the sealing member is smaller than 0.5. 4. The light-emitting module of claim 3 , wherein the ratio H/W is 0.3 or smaller. 5. The light-emitting module of claim 1 , wherein a reflection wavelength band of the light reflection film under perpendicular incidence includes a peak emission wavelength of the light-emitting element, and is wider on a longer wavelength side of the emission peak wavelength than on a shorter wavelength side. 6. The light-emitting module of claim 1 , wherein 30% or more of a total amount of light emitted from the light-emitting element is emitted at an angle of elevation less than 20° with respect to the upper surface of the base body. 7. The light-emitting module of claim 1 , wherein 40% or more of a total amount of light emitted from the light-emitting element is emitted at an angle of elevation that is less than 20° with respect to the upper surface of the base body. 8. The light-emitting module of claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting element is flip-chip mounted on the base body. 9. The light-emitting module of claim 1 , further comprising a wavelength conversion member disposed on the light extraction surface side of the light-emitting element, the wavelength conversion member being adapted to absorb a portion of light emitted from the light-emitting element and to emit light of a wavelength different from an emission wavelength of the light-emitting element. 10. An integrated light-emitting module comprising: a plurality of the light-emitting modules of claim 1 ; and a plurality of light-reflecting members, each disposed between an adjacent two of the plurality of light-emitting modules. 11. The integrated light-emitting module of claim 10 , wherein a height of each light-reflecting member is equal to or less than 0.3 times a distance between the light-emitting modules. 12. The integrated light-emitting module of claim 10 , wherein a height of each light-reflecting member is equal to or less than 0.2 times a distance between the light-emitting modules.
