Abstract

A flat lamp structure may include a housing; a module in which at least one LED is disposed on a substrate; a reflector which reflects light emitted from the LED to the outside thereof; an inner lens which is disposed in front of the reflector with a predetermined interval to diffuse light emitted from the LED; and an outer lens which is disposed outside the inner lens and coupled to the housing, wherein the reflector has a first reflector part, a second reflector part, and a third reflector part having different optical properties and the first and second reflector parts have a specular reflection characteristic and the third reflector part has a Lambertian reflection characteristic, and reflects the light in all directions with the uniform brightness regardless of a direction to a diffuser surface to form a light emission surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A flat lamp structure, comprising:
a housing;
a module in which at least one LED is disposed on a substrate;
a reflector which reflects light emitted from the LED to the outside thereof;
an inner lens which is disposed in front of the reflector with a predetermined interval to diffuse light emitted from the LED; and
an outer lens which is disposed outside the inner lens and coupled to the housing,
wherein the reflector has a first reflector part, a second reflector part, and a third reflector part having different optical properties and the first and second reflector parts have a specular reflection characteristic and the third reflector part has a Lambertian reflection characteristic, and reflects the light in all directions with the uniform brightness regardless of a direction to a diffuser surface to form a light emission surface.

2. The flat lamp structure of claim 1 , wherein the first reflector part is disposed to be adjacent to the LED in front of the lamp so that the light emitted from the LED is not directly exposed to the outside but is reflected onto the second and third reflector parts.

3. The flat lamp structure of claim 1 , wherein the second reflector part is formed to have a length which is 25 to 35% of an entire lamp length and the third reflector part is formed to have a length which is 65 to 75% of the entire lamp length.

4. The flat lamp structure of claim 1 , wherein the first and second reflector parts are formed by depositing Al on a main body of the reflector to form a reflection layer.

5. The flat lamp structure of claim 1 , wherein the first reflector part is formed to be integrated with a connecting unit which is coupled to the lamp housing and the LED module is mounted to be adjacent to the first reflector part in the connecting unit.

6. The flat lamp structure of claim 1 , wherein the third reflector part is formed by paining a surface of the main body of the reflector with white color.

7. The flat lamp structure of claim 1 , wherein the third reflector part is formed into a main body of the reflector which is molded by a white engineering plastic.

8. The flat lamp structure of claim 1 , wherein a heat radiating unit is disposed on the substrate together with the module.
