Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A light emitting device includes a light emitting element; a sealing resin covering the light emitting element; and a light diffusing material contained in the sealing resin. When a difference in refractive index at 10° C. between the sealing resin and the light diffusing material is Δn1 and a difference in refractive index at 50° C. between the sealing resin and the light diffusing material is Δn2, a ratio of Δn2 to Δn1 is in a range of 95% to 105%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A light emitting device comprising: a light emitting element; a sealing resin covering the light emitting element; and a light diffusing material contained in the sealing resin, wherein, when a difference in refractive index at 10° C. between the sealing resin and the light diffusing material is Δn1 and a difference in refractive index at 50° C. between the sealing resin and the light diffusing material is Δn2, a ratio of Δn2 to Δn1 is in a range of 95% to 105%. 2 . A light emitting device comprising: a light emitting element; a light-transmissive sealing resin covering the light emitting element; and a light diffusing material contained in the sealing resin, wherein a temperature dependence coefficient of a refractive index of the sealing resin at 10° C. to 50° C. is −5×10 −5 /° C. to −5×10 −4 /° C., and wherein a temperature dependence coefficient of a refractive index of the light diffusing material at 10° C. to 50° C. is −5×10 −5 /° C. to −5×10 −4 /° C. 3 . The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light diffusing material is an organic filler. 4 . The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a refractive index of the light diffusing material is lower than a refractive index of the sealing resin. 5 . The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light diffusing material is methyl-based silicone resin. 6 . The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light diffusing material is an inorganic filler. 7 . The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing resin is phenyl-based silicone resin. 8 . The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing resin contains an inorganic nanofiller. 9 . The light emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a wavelength conversion substance converting wavelength of light emitted by the light emitting element into different wavelength. 10 . The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing resin has a convex shape in which a height in an optical axis direction in a cross-sectional view of the sealing resin is longer than a width of a bottom surface of the sealing resin. 11 . A light emitting device comprising: a light emitting element; phenyl-based silicone resin covering the light emitting element; and a light diffusing material formed of methyl-based silicone resin contained in the phenyl-based silicone resin.
