Abstract

A lighting device disclosed in an embodiment of the invention includes a substrate; a plurality of light sources spaced apart from each other at predetermined intervals on the substrate; a resin layer disposed on the substrate; a phosphor layer disposed on the resin layer and having a pattern layer including a concave portion and a convex portion formed on a surface facing the resin layer; and a diffusion layer disposed between the resin layer and the phosphor layer, wherein a thickness of the diffusion layer may be 10% or more and less than 50% of the maximum thickness of the phosphor layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lighting device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of light sources spaced apart from each other at predetermined intervals on the substrate;
a resin layer disposed on the substrate;
a phosphor layer to cover an upper surface and side surfaces of the resin layer and having a pattern layer including a concave portion and a convex portion formed on a surface of the phosphor layer facing the resin layer; and
a diffusion layer disposed between the upper surface of the resin layer and the phosphor layer, and the phosphor layer to cover an upper surface and side surfaces of the diffusion layer,
wherein a thickness of the diffusion layer is 10% or more and less than 50% of a maximum thickness of the phosphor layer.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the diffusion layer includes a plurality of patterns spaced apart from each other in a horizontal direction of the substrate on the resin layer, and the phosphor layer is in contact with the resin layer and the diffusion layer.

3. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the diffusion layer comprises a first diffusion layer disposed on an entire surface of the resin layer, and a plurality of second diffusion layers disposed on the first diffusion layer and spaced apart in a horizontal direction from the first diffusion layer, and
wherein the second diffusion layer is disposed in the concave portion of the pattern layer.

4. The lighting device of claim 3 , wherein a height of the first diffusion layer is less than 30% of a height of the resin layer.

5. The lighting device of claim 3 , wherein the diffusion layer comprises a plurality of third diffusion layers disposed under the first diffusion layer and spaced apart from each other in a horizontal direction from the first diffusion layer.

6. The lighting device of claim 5 , wherein the third diffusion layer is disposed in a lower region of the first diffusion layer at a position corresponding to the second diffusion layer.

7. The lighting device of claim 5 , wherein the third diffusion layer is disposed so as not to vertically overlap the second diffusion layer.

8. The lighting device of claim 3 , wherein an upper surface of the first diffusion layer has a plurality of inclined surfaces having different heights and a horizontal surface disposed between the plurality of inclined surfaces.

9. The lighting device of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of inclined surfaces of the first diffusion layer increase in height from one side to the other side.

10. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the phosphor layer has a first phosphor layer in a region in which the concave portion of the pattern layer is formed, and a second phosphor layer having a content different from that of a phosphor in the first phosphor layer and in a region in which the convex portion of the pattern layer is formed.

11. A lighting device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of light sources arranged on the substrate;
a resin layer disposed on the substrate and covering an upper surface and side surfaces of the plurality of light sources;
a phosphor layer covering an upper surface and side surfaces of the resin layer; and
a diffusion layer disposed between the upper surface of the resin layer and the phosphor layer,
wherein the phosphor layer includes a pattern layer having a plurality of concave portions and a plurality of convex portions on a surface facing the resin layer or the diffusion layer,
wherein the phosphor layer covers an upper surface and side surfaces of the diffusion layer,
wherein a thickness of the diffusion layer is 10% or more and less than 50% of a maximum thickness of the phosphor layer, and
wherein a portion of the phosphor layer extends toward an upper surface of the substrate along the side surface of the resin layer.

12. The lighting device of claim 11 , wherein the diffusion layer includes a plurality of patterns arranged in a horizontal direction of the substrate on the upper surface of the resin layer, and the phosphor layer is in contact with the upper surface of the resin layer and the diffusion layer.

13. The lighting device of claim 11 , wherein the diffusion layer comprises a first diffusion layer disposed on an entire upper surface of the resin layer and second diffusion layers disposed on the first diffusion layer in a horizontal direction of the first diffusion layer,
wherein each of the second diffusion layers is disposed on each of a plurality of concave portions of the pattern layer.

14. The lighting device of claim 13 , wherein a height of the first diffusion layer is less than 30% of a height of the resin layer.

15. The lighting device of claim 13 , wherein the diffusion layer comprises a plurality of third diffusion layers arranged in a horizontal direction from the first diffusion layer and disposed under the first diffusion layer.

16. The lighting device of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of third diffusion layers is disposed in a lower region of the first diffusion layer at a position corresponding to the second diffusion layer.

17. The lighting device of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of third diffusion layers is disposed so as not to vertically overlap the second diffusion layer.
