Light source module
The present invention relates to a light source module, and in particular to a light source module having a wide range of light extraction angles.
With the advancement of modern semiconductor technology, light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been widely used to provide light sources for electronic devices such as traffic signs, large billboards, scanners, and liquid crystal displays. Because the light-emitting diode has a fast response speed (about 10<sup>-9</sup>Second), small size, low power consumption, low pollution (no mercury), high reliability, suitable for mass production, etc., so there is a tendency to replace traditional fluorescent lamps and incandescent bulbs with light-emitting diodes.
1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional light emitting diode light source module. Referring to FIG. 1 , a conventional light-emitting diode light source module 100 includes a light box 110 , a circuit board 120 , a plurality of LED packages 130 , and a transparent plate (transparent plate). ) 140. The light box 110 has a pair of bottom portions 112 and a light exiting section 114. The circuit board 120 is disposed on the bottom portion 112 of the light box, and the LED package 130 is disposed on the circuit board 120. The light-transmitting plate 140 is disposed on the light-emitting section 114 of the light box 110. Each of the light emitting diode packages 130 is adapted to emit a light beam L, and the light beam L penetrates the light transmitting plate 140.
Since the directivity of the light beam L emitted by the light emitting diode package 130 is high, most of the light in the light beam L is approximately perpendicular to the light exiting section 114, so that the light exiting angle range of the light beam L is too narrow, and the light emitting diode light source is made The uniformity of the light source provided by the module 100 is poor. In this way, when the conventional light-emitting diode light source module 100 is used for general illumination purposes, it is easy to feel that the light source is concentrated on some bright spots (which are located at the position of the LED package 130), and these bright spots are The brightness is much higher than the surrounding area, which is easy to cause glare and make the eyes feel uncomfortable. In addition, the range of the light exiting angle of the light beam L is too narrow for general lighting purposes. In order to improve the above problems, some conventional techniques perform a full atomization treatment on the light-transmitting plate 140 to prevent glare. However, the full atomization process causes the light beam L to lose too much light intensity after passing through the light transmitting plate 140.
2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another conventional light emitting diode light source module. Referring to FIG. 2 , the conventional light-emitting diode light source module 200 includes a light box 210 , a circuit board 220 , a plurality of light-emitting diode packages 230 , a light-transmitting plate 240 , and a plurality of lenses 250 . In order to improve the glare, the unevenness of the light source, and the narrow range of the light exiting angle, a light-emitting diode package 230 is disposed on each of the light-emitting diode packages 230 to enable the light-emitting diode package. The beam L emitted by 230 diverges. However, the volume of the lens 250 is relatively large compared to the volume of the LED package 230. If a lens 250 is placed on each of the LED packages 230, the LEDs are pulled apart. The spacing D between the body packages 230. As a result, the LED package 230 cannot be closely arranged on the circuit board 220, which causes the density of the LED package 230 to be distributed on the circuit board 220 to be reduced, so that the LED body module is lighted. The number of the light-emitting diode packages 230 that can be accommodated in the 200 is limited, and the brightness of the light-emitting diode light source module 200 is difficult to increase.
In addition, since the volume of the lens 250 is large, the optical path length that the light beam L has to pass through the lens 250 is long, and the proportion of the light beam L absorbed by the lens 250 is increased, resulting in a light-emitting diode light source module. The brightness of 220 is lowered. Moreover, the large volume of the lens 250 also makes the overall volume of the light-emitting diode light source module 200 larger, and the length of the joint between the light-transmitting plate 240 and the light box 210 is elongated, so that the light-emitting diode light source The module 200 must be extra careful during assembly to avoid gaps in the joint between the light transmissive plate 240 and the light box 210, resulting in failure to waterproof. In addition, the bulky lens 250 also has a certain weight, which easily causes the weight of the light-emitting diode light source module 200 to be too heavy. In addition, since the number of the lenses 250 is as many as the number of the LED packages 230, the cost of the lens 250 is large, and the cost of the light-emitting diode light source module 200 is increased.
FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another conventional light emitting diode light source module. The light emitting diode light source module 300 includes a heat sink 310 and a plurality of light emitting diode packages 320. The heat sink 310 has a curved surface 312, and the light emitting diode package 320 is distributed on the curved surface 312 to make the light emitting diode light source module 300 have a larger light exit angle range. However, the curved surface 312 of the heat sink 310 is difficult to fabricate, and the assembly of the light emitting diode light source module 300 is difficult, which leads to an increase in the cost of the light emitting diode light source module 300.

In this embodiment, the length ratio of the bottom 444a of each triangle 444 to the height H may be 2 to 3. For example, the length W of the bottom 444a is, for example, 2 mm, and the height H is, for example, 3 mm (as shown in FIG. 5G), and the maximum light intensity measured at this time is the lowest in FIG. 5A to FIG. 5H, which is 50.4. Lux, it can be verified that the light intensity distribution at this time is less concentrated. In other words, the light beam L emitted by the light source module 400 is relatively dispersed at this time.
In the light source module 400 of the present embodiment, a light-emitting bump 440 is disposed on each of the light-emitting elements 420 to reflect a portion of the light beam L1 emitted by the light-emitting element 420 to the light-incident surface 432 of the light-transmitting plate 430, and the light beam L1 is re-penetrated. The light-transmitting plate 430 is transparent, so that the light-emitting module 400 of the embodiment has a large range of light-emitting angles, and the light beam L is dispersed and is not limited to being directly above the refractive protrusions 440. Thus, when the light source module 400 is used as a street light with the light-emitting surface 434 of the light-transmitting plate 430 facing the road surface, it is possible to provide illumination with a relatively wide range and relatively uniform brightness. In addition, the light source module 400 of the embodiment does not need to have a relatively large lens on each of the light-emitting elements as in the prior art, so that the pitch Dof the light-emitting elements 420 can be small, that is, the design of the pitch D. More flexible. In this way, the volume of the light source module 400 of the embodiment can be effectively reduced, and the length of the joint between the light-transmitting plate 430 and the light box 450 is shortened, thereby making the waterproof design of the light source module 400 easier. And the yield is high. Moreover, the light source module 400 of the embodiment can save the cost and weight of the relatively large lens, and thus the light source module 400 has lower cost and lighter weight. In addition, since the light beam L is not concentrated directly above the light emitting element 420, the light source module 400 of the present embodiment can also improve glare.
In this embodiment, the refractive surface 442 of each of the refractive protrusions 440 may be a matte surface to scatter the light beam L to further improve glare. In addition, the refractive protrusion 440 and the light transmissive plate 430 may be integrally formed to reduce the manufacturing cost of the refractive protrusion 440.
