Abstract

A lighting device disclosed in an embodiment of the invention includes a plurality of light sources disposed on a substrate; a resin layer disposed on the substrate and the plurality of light sources; a phosphor layer disposed on the resin layer, and an ink layer disposed on the phosphor layer, wherein the ink layer has a first ink layer and a second ink layer having a height greater than that of the first ink layer with respect to the upper surfaces of the phosphor layer, and it possible to provide a three-dimensional image of the surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A lighting device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate;
a resin layer disposed on the substrate and the plurality of light sources;
a phosphor layer disposed on the resin layer; and
an ink layer disposed on the phosphor layer;
wherein the ink layer has a first ink layer disposed on the phosphor layer and a second ink layer having an upper height higher than an upper height of the first ink layer with respect to an upper surface of the phosphor layer, and
wherein the first ink layer includes a first-first ink layer on the phosphor layer and a first-second ink layer having an upper height smaller than an upper height of the first-first ink layer with respect to the upper surface of the phosphor layer.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein a height of the first ink layer on a lower surface of the ink layer is ⅕ or more of a height from the lower surface of the ink layer to an upper surface of the second ink layer.

3. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein an upper surface of the ink layer is inclined with respect to the upper surface of the second ink layer.

4. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein an upper surface of the ink layer includes a curved surface.

5. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the ink layer is a same as a thickness of the phosphor layer, and
wherein the thickness of the ink layer is a height from a lower surface of the ink layer to an upper end of the second ink layer.

6. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein widths of the first-first ink layer, the first-second ink layer, and the second ink layer are different from each other.

7. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the first ink layer implements a light in a first pattern by light emitted from the plurality of light sources, and the second ink layer implements a light in a second pattern different from a shape of the first pattern,
when a luminance of the light is 10 candela or less, a brightness of a region of the first pattern is brighter than a brightness of a region of the second pattern, and
when a luminance of the light is 60 candela or more, the brightness of the region of the first pattern corresponds to the brightness of the region of the second pattern.

8. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the first ink layer and the second ink layer are formed of a same material.

9. A lighting device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate;
a resin layer disposed on the substrate and the plurality of light sources;
a phosphor layer disposed on the resin layer; and
an ink layer disposed on an upper surface and a plurality of side surfaces of the phosphor layer,
wherein the ink layer includes a first ink layer disposed on the upper surface and the plurality of side surfaces of the phosphor layer and a second ink layer disposed between regions of the first ink layer, and
wherein the first ink layer includes regions having different heights from a center of the ink layer toward an upper end of the second ink layer based on the upper surface of the phosphor layer.

10. The lighting device of claim 9 , wherein a height of the first ink layer on the upper surface of the phosphor layer is ⅕ or more of a height of the second ink layer on the upper surface of the phosphor layer,
wherein side surfaces of the ink layer extend to each of the side surfaces of the phosphor layer and have a flat plane.

11. The lighting device of claim 9 , wherein an area of an upper surface of the second ink layer is smaller than an area of a lower surface of the first ink layer.

12. The lighting device of claim 9 , wherein the first ink layer and the second ink layer are formed of a same material.

13. A lighting device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate;
a resin layer disposed on the substrate and the plurality of light sources;
a phosphor layer disposed on the resin layer; and
an ink layer disposed on an upper surface of the phosphor layer,
wherein the ink layer has a plurality of concave portions recessed from an upper surface toward a lower surface of the ink layer, and
wherein the plurality of concave portions of the ink layer is spaced apart from the lower surface of the ink layer.

14. The lighting device of claim 13 , wherein the ink layer includes a first ink layer disposed on the upper surface of the phosphor layer and a second ink layer disposed between regions of the first ink layer.

15. The lighting device of claim 14 , wherein the first ink layer is disposed between the plurality of concave portions and the phosphor layer.

16. The lighting device of claim 14 , wherein the second ink layer is disposed between the plurality of concave portions, and
wherein upper surfaces of the second ink layer disposed between the regions of the first ink layer have a same height.

17. The lighting device of claim 14 , wherein upper surfaces of the first ink layer have different heights.

18. The lighting device of claim 17 , wherein the first ink layer and the second ink layer are formed of a same material.

19. The lighting device of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the plurality of concave portions has different depths in the upper surface of the ink layer.

20. The lighting device of claim 13 , wherein an area of the upper surface of the ink layer is smaller than an area of the lower surface of the ink layer.
