The optical semiconductor layer is composed of a first semiconductor layer located on the translucent substrate, a light emitting layer located on the first semiconductor layer, and a second semiconductor layer located on the light emitting layer.

In addition, the light emitting element 3 configured in this way can emit excitation light in a wavelength range of, for example, 360 to 430 nm (that is, 380 nm or more and 430 nm or less). That is, the light emitting device 1 of the embodiment emits light (visible light) in a violet wavelength region.
枠体4は、例えば、酸化アルミニウム、酸化チタン、酸化ジルコニウムまたは酸化イットリウム等のセラミック材料からなる。また、枠体4は、多孔質材料でもよい。また枠体4は、酸化アルミニウム、酸化チタン、酸化ジルコニウムまたは酸化イットリウム等の金属酸化物からなる粉末を混合させた樹脂材料からなるものでもよい。
The frame 4 is made of, for example, a ceramic material such as aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide or yttrium oxide. Further, the frame 4 may be a porous material. Further, the frame 4 may be made of a resin material in which powder made of metal oxide such as aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide or yttrium oxide is mixed.
枠体4は、基板2の上面に、例えば樹脂、ろう材または半田等を介して接続されている。枠体4は、発光素子3と間隔を空けて、発光素子3を取り囲むように基板2の上面に設けられている。また、枠体4は、傾斜する内壁面が、基板2の上面から遠ざかるに従い、外方に向かって広がるように形成されている。枠体4の外側に広がるように傾斜した内壁面が、発光素子3から発せられる励起光を外部に放射する反射面として機能する。なお、平面視して、枠体4の内壁面の形状を円形とすると、発光素子3が放射する光を一様に反射面にて外方に向かって反射させることができる。
The frame 4 is connected to the upper surface of the substrate 2 via, for example, a resin, a brazing material, or solder. The frame 4 is provided on the upper surface of the substrate 2 so as to surround the light emitting element 3 with a space from the light emitting element 3. Further, the frame 4 is formed so that the inclined inner wall surface spreads outward as the distance from the upper surface of the substrate 2 is increased. The inner wall surface inclined so as to extend to the outside of the frame 4 functions as a reflective surface that emits the excitation light emitted from the light emitting element 3 to the outside. When the shape of the inner wall surface of the frame 4 is circular in plan view, the light emitted from the light emitting element 3 can be uniformly reflected outward by the reflection surface.
また、枠体4の傾斜している内壁面は、例えば、焼結材料からなる枠体4の内周面にタングステン、モリブデン、マンガン等から成る金属層と、金属層を被覆するニッケルまたは金等からなるめっき層を形成してもよい。このめっき層は、発光素子3の発する光を反射させる機能を有する。なお、枠体4の内壁面の傾斜角度(縦断面視において枠体の内壁面と基板2上面とのなす角の大きさ)は、基板2の上面に対して例えば55度以上70度以下の角度に設定されている。
Further, the inclined inner wall surface of the frame 4 is, for example, a metal layer made of tungsten, molybdenum, manganese or the like on the inner peripheral surface of the frame 4 made of a sintered material, nickel or gold etc. You may form the plating layer which consists of. The plating layer has a function of reflecting the light emitted from the light emitting element 3. The inclination angle of the inner wall surface of the frame 4 (the size of the angle formed by the inner wall surface of the frame and the upper surface of the substrate 2 in the vertical cross section) is, for example, 55 degrees or more and 70 degrees or less with respect to the upper surface of the substrate 2 The angle is set.
基板2および枠体4で囲まれる内側の空間には、光透過性の封止部材5が充填されている。封止部材5は、発光素子3を封止するとともに、発光素子3の内部から発せられる光を外部に光を外部に透過させる機能を備えている。
A light transmissive sealing member 5 is filled in an inner space surrounded by the substrate 2 and the frame 4. The sealing member 5 has a function of sealing the light emitting element 3 and transmitting the light emitted from the inside of the light emitting element 3 to the outside to the outside.
封止部材5は、基板2および枠体4で囲まれる内側の空間内に、枠体4で囲まれる空間の一部を残して充填されている。封止部材5は、例えば、シリコーン樹脂、アクリル樹脂またはエポキシ樹脂等の透光性の絶縁樹脂や透光性のガラス材料が用いられる。封止部材5の屈折率は、例えば1.4以上1.6以下に設定されている。
The sealing member 5 is filled in the inner space surrounded by the substrate 2 and the frame 4 leaving a part of the space surrounded by the frame 4. The sealing member 5 is made of, for example, a translucent insulating resin such as silicone resin, acrylic resin or epoxy resin, or a translucent glass material. The refractive index of the sealing member 5 is set to, for example, 1.4 or more and 1.6 or less.
被覆材6は、発光素子3の発光部3a上に位置している。すなわち、被覆材6は、発光素子3の上面と封止部材5を介して対向している。例えば図2に示すように、被覆材6は、基板2および枠体4で囲まれた内側の空間の上部に、封止部材5の上面に沿って設けられている。被覆材6は、枠体4内に収まるように位置している。被覆材6は、発光素子3の発する光の波長を変換する機能を有している。被覆材6における波長変換の機能は、被覆材6内に位置している蛍光体7による。
The covering material 6 is located on the light emitting portion 3 a of the light emitting element 3. That is, the covering material 6 is opposed to the upper surface of the light emitting element 3 via the sealing member 5. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the covering material 6 is provided along the upper surface of the sealing member 5 in the upper part of the inner space surrounded by the substrate 2 and the frame 4. The covering material 6 is positioned to fit in the frame 4. The covering material 6 has a function of converting the wavelength of the light emitted from the light emitting element 3. The wavelength conversion function of the covering material 6 is due to the phosphor 7 located in the covering material 6.
すなわち、発光素子3から放射された光が封止部材5を介して被覆材6の内部に入射する。被覆材6の内部に含有されている蛍光体7が、発光素子3から放射された光によって励起されて蛍光を発する。被覆材6は波長変換の機能を有している。また、被覆材6は、発光素子3から放射された光の一部を透過させる。つまり、被覆材6から外部に放射される外部放射光は、発光素子から放射された放射光(第1放射光)と、蛍光体7から放射された蛍光(第2放射光)とを含んでいる。外部放射光のスペクトルは、これらの第1および第2放射光のスペクトルが合成されたものになる。
That is, light emitted from the light emitting element 3 enters the inside of the covering material 6 through the sealing member 5. The phosphor 7 contained inside the covering material 6 is excited by the light emitted from the light emitting element 3 to emit fluorescence. The covering material 6 has a wavelength conversion function. In addition, the covering material 6 transmits part of the light emitted from the light emitting element 3. That is, the external radiation emitted from the covering material 6 to the outside includes the radiation (first radiation) emitted from the light emitting element and the fluorescence (second radiation) emitted from the phosphor 7 There is. The spectrum of the external radiation is a combination of the spectra of these first and second radiations.
被覆材6は、例えば、フッ素樹脂、シリコーン樹脂、アクリル樹脂またはエポキシ樹脂等の透光性の絶縁樹脂、または透光性のガラス材料を有し、その絶縁樹脂、ガラス材料中に、蛍光体7が含有されている。蛍光体7は、例えば、被覆材6中に均一に分散している。
The covering material 6 has, for example, a translucent insulating resin such as fluorocarbon resin, silicone resin, acrylic resin or epoxy resin, or a translucent glass material, and in the insulating resin and the glass material, the phosphor 7 Is contained. The phosphors 7 are, for example, uniformly dispersed in the covering material 6.
発光素子3および被覆材6中に含有される蛍光体7としては、最終的に発光装置1から外部に放射される光である外部放射光(Radiated-light)の発光スペクトルが、図4に示すような発光スペクトルとなるようなものが選ばれる。この場合、第1放射光を放射する発光素子3についても、外部放射光が上記スペクトルになるように設定することができる。なお、上記の発光スペクトルは、例えば、分光器および制御回路を備える市販の各種測定器で測定することができる。
For the phosphor 7 contained in the light emitting element 3 and the covering material 6, the emission spectrum of the external radiation (radiated-light) which is the light finally emitted from the light emitting device 1 to the outside is shown in FIG. An emission spectrum such as this is selected. In this case, also for the light emitting element 3 that emits the first radiation, the external radiation can be set so as to have the above-mentioned spectrum. Note that the above emission spectrum can be measured, for example, with various commercially available measuring instruments provided with a spectroscope and a control circuit.
本実施形態の発光装置1では、前述したように、発光素子3から放射される第1放射光が、360~430nmに第1ピーク波長λ1を有している。また、蛍光体7から放射される第2放射光が、430~470nmに第2ピーク波長λ2を有している。これらの第1放射光および第2放射光を含む、発光装置1から外部への放射光(外部放射光)は、第1ピーク波長および第2ピーク波長λ2を含むピーク領域Pと、第2ピーク波長λ2の上限から750nmの波長にかけて、光強度が連続的に減少する長波長領域Lとを有している。なお、光強度(W/m2/nm)は、単位面積および単位波長あたりの光の放射照度である。
In the light emitting device 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, the first radiation emitted from the light emitting element 3 has the first peak wavelength λ1 at 360 to 430 nm. Further, the second radiation emitted from the phosphor 7 has the second peak wavelength λ2 at 430 to 470 nm. The emission light (external emission light) from the light emitting device 1 to the outside, which includes the first emission light and the second emission light, has a peak area P including the first peak wavelength and the second peak wavelength λ2, and a second peak It has a long wavelength region L in which the light intensity decreases continuously from the upper limit of the wavelength λ2 to the wavelength of 750 nm. The light intensity (W / m 2 / nm) is the irradiance of light per unit area and unit wavelength.
すなわち、本実施形態の発光装置1は、紫色(波長360~430nm)から青色(波長430~470nm)においてピークを有し、緑色から赤色(波長480~750nm)にかけて光強度が次第に小さくなる光を外部に放射し、外部の被照明物に対する照明を行なう。言い換えれば、本実施形態の発光装置1で照明された被照明物は、紫~青の色調が比較的強い色として視認される。このような色(色調)は、深さ約40m(例えば約30~50m)の海中において、その水深で生息している水生生物を見たときの色調に近似している。
That is, the light emitting device 1 of the present embodiment has light having a peak from purple (wavelength 360 to 430 nm) to blue (wavelength 430 to 470 nm) and gradually decreases in light intensity from green to red (wavelength 480 to 750 nm). It radiates to the outside and illuminates an external object. In other words, the illumination object illuminated by the light emitting device 1 of the present embodiment is viewed as a relatively strong purple-blue color tone. Such color (color tone) approximates the color tone when viewing aquatic organisms living in the depths of about 40 m (eg, about 30 to 50 m) in the sea.
したがって、本実施形態の発光装置1は、例えば、水深40m程度の、比較的多種類の水生生物が生息する深度に対応した照明装置の製作を容易にすることができる。このような水生生物としては、例えばタイ、スズキ、エビなどの魚介類、イソギンチャク等の刺胞動物、海藻類等が挙げられる。なお、このような実施形態の発光装置1を含む照明装置10の詳細については後述する。
Therefore, the light emitting device 1 of the present embodiment can facilitate, for example, the manufacture of a lighting device having a depth of about 40 m, which corresponds to the depth at which relatively many types of aquatic organisms inhabit. Examples of such aquatic organisms include fish and shellfish such as Thailand, sea bass and shrimp, cnidarians such as anemones and sea algae. In addition, the detail of the illuminating device 10 containing the light-emitting device 1 of such embodiment is mentioned later.
上記の生物は、例えば室内(地上)において観賞(個人等)、展示(水族館等)、養殖または研究等の目的で水槽等において飼育される場合がある。このような場合に、実施形態の発光装置1を含む照明装置を用いれば、上記の各用途に適した飼育環境を容易に構成することができる。例えば、観賞用に上記の水生生物を飼育する場合であれば、その水生生物が実際に生息している水中における色調を高い精度で再現することができる。そのため、飼育者は、実際に水中で水生生物を見るときと同じ色調で、室内等においてその生物を観賞することができる。この場合の発光装置1は、例えば、心地良い観賞環境を容易に構成することができる。また、このような発光装置1および照明装置を製作および販売するときには、その付加価値を効果的に向上させること(より高い価格で販売すること等)もできる。
The above organisms may be bred in a water tank or the like for the purpose of, for example, watching (individuals etc.), displaying (aquarium etc.), aquaculture, research, etc. indoors (above ground). In such a case, if a lighting device including the light emitting device 1 of the embodiment is used, a breeding environment suitable for each of the above applications can be easily configured. For example, in the case of breeding the above-mentioned aquatic organism for ornamental use, it is possible to reproduce with high accuracy the color tone in the water in which the aquatic organism is actually inhabited. Therefore, the breeder can view the living thing indoors or the like in the same color as when actually viewing the aquatic life in water. The light emitting device 1 in this case can easily constitute, for example, a comfortable viewing environment. In addition, when such a light emitting device 1 and a lighting device are manufactured and sold, the added value can be effectively improved (sold at a higher price, etc.).
上記構成の発光装置1において、長波長領域の光強度が下記条件を満たすものでもよい。すなわち、長波長領域Lにおける外部放射光の光強度は、495~570nmの波長領域において第1ピーク波長λ1における光強度の1~20%の強さであり、570~590nmの波長領域において第1ピーク波長λ1における光強度の0.2~3%の強さであり、590~750nmの波長領域において第1ピーク波長λ1における光強度の1%以下の強さであってもよい。すなわち、緑色領域から黄色領域にかけて比較的大きな減少割合で光強度が小さくなり、橙色から赤色領域の成分をほとんど含まない(第1ピーク波長λ1における光強度に対して0%を含む)外部放射光であってもよい。
In the light emitting device 1 configured as described above, the light intensity in the long wavelength region may satisfy the following condition. That is, the light intensity of the external radiation in the long wavelength range L is 1 to 20% of the light intensity at the first peak wavelength λ1 in the wavelength range of 495 to 570 nm, and the first intensity in the wavelength range of 570 to 590 nm. The intensity may be 0.2 to 3% of the light intensity at the peak wavelength λ1, and may be 1% or less of the light intensity at the first peak wavelength λ1 in the wavelength range of 590 to 750 nm. That is, the light intensity decreases at a relatively large reduction rate from the green region to the yellow region, and the external radiation light (including 0% with respect to the light intensity at the first peak wavelength λ1) containing almost no component from the orange to red region It may be
この場合には、外部放射光は、長波長領域Lにおいて光の波長が長いほど光強度小さくなる。この外部放射光を放射する発光装置1は、深くなるにつれて緑色~赤色(特に赤色)領域の割合が小さくなる、水中における太陽光の長波長域成分の減衰をより高い精度で再現できる。そのため、前述したような水深(30~50m等)における水中の照明環境の再現性を高める上で、より有利な発光装置1とすることができる。
In this case, as the wavelength of the light in the long wavelength region L is longer, the light intensity of the external radiation light becomes smaller. The light emitting device 1 that emits this external radiation can reproduce the attenuation of the long wavelength component of sunlight in water with higher accuracy, with the proportion of the green to red (especially red) region becoming smaller as the depth gets deeper. Therefore, the light emitting device 1 can be made more advantageous in enhancing the reproducibility of the illumination environment in water at the water depth (30 to 50 m, etc.) as described above.
また、上記構成の発光装置1において、外部放射光は、360nm未満の紫外領域における光強度が、第1ピーク波長λ1における光強度の1%以下であってもよく、0%であってもよい。すなわち、発光装置1は、実質的に紫外領域の光成分(紫外線)を含んでいないものでもよい。外部放射光について、360nm未満の紫外領域における光強度が、第1ピーク波長λ1における光強度の1%以下であるときには、紫外線による水生生物への悪影響の低減等に有効である。
Further, in the light emitting device 1 configured as described above, the external radiation may have a light intensity in the ultraviolet region of less than 360 nm which may be 1% or less of the light intensity at the first peak wavelength λ1 or may be 0%. . That is, the light emitting device 1 may not substantially include a light component (ultraviolet light) in the ultraviolet region. With regard to external radiation light, when the light intensity in the ultraviolet region of less than 360 nm is 1% or less of the light intensity at the first peak wavelength λ1, it is effective in reducing the adverse effect of ultraviolet light on aquatic organisms.
上記第2放射光を放射する蛍光体7について、具体的な例を挙げて説明する。なお、図3では、蛍光体7として、第2ピーク波長λ2に対応した蛍光を放射する蛍光体(第1蛍光体7a)に加えて、第2蛍光体7bが用いられた例を示している。
The phosphor 7 that emits the second radiation will be described by way of a specific example. In addition, in addition to the fluorescent substance (1st fluorescent substance 7a) which radiates | emits the fluorescence corresponding to 2nd peak wavelength (lambda) 2 as the fluorescent substance 7 in FIG. 3, the example in which the 2nd fluorescent substance 7b was used is shown. .
青色を示す第1蛍光体7aは、例えば(Sr,Ca,Ba)10(PO4)6Cl2:Euである。青緑色を示す第2蛍光体7bは、例えばSr4Al14O25:Euである。かっこ内の元素の割合は、分子式の範囲内であれば任意に設定して構わない。第2蛍光体7bにより、外部放射光の青~青緑領域におけるスペクトルを太陽光のスペクトルにさらに近付けることができる。
The first phosphor 7a showing a blue color, for example (Sr, Ca, Ba) 10 (PO 4) 6 C l2: a Eu. The second phosphor 7b exhibiting blue-green color is, for example, Sr 4 Al 14 O 25 : Eu. The proportions of the elements in parentheses may be set arbitrarily within the range of the molecular formula. The second phosphor 7b allows the spectrum in the blue to blue-green region of the external radiation to be closer to the spectrum of sunlight.
なお、図4において、上記の波長領域における光エネルギー(J)は、光強度を示す曲線と相対強度=0の直線との間に挟まれる部分の面積(つまり単位波長における光強度の積算値(積分値))として表されている。また、第1ピーク波長λ1の下限が約360nmであり、長波長領域の上限全波長領域が約750nmである。そのため、上記の全波長領域は、ほぼ可視光の波長領域に相当する。例えば、360~430nmの波長領域の光エネルギー(J)の割合は、発光装置1から放射される可視光の光エネルギーにおける比較的波長が短い領域の光エネルギーの割合を示している。
In FIG. 4, the light energy (J) in the above wavelength region is the area of the portion sandwiched between the curve indicating the light intensity and the straight line of relative intensity = 0 (that is, the integrated value of the light intensity at the unit wavelength Integral value) is represented. Further, the lower limit of the first peak wavelength λ1 is about 360 nm, and the upper limit full wavelength range of the long wavelength range is about 750 nm. Therefore, the above whole wavelength range substantially corresponds to the wavelength range of visible light. For example, the ratio of light energy (J) in the wavelength region of 360 to 430 nm indicates the ratio of light energy in a relatively short wavelength region to the light energy of visible light emitted from the light emitting device 1.
本発明の実施形態の照明装置10を図5に示している。実施形態の照明装置10は、上記いずれかの構成の発光装置1と、発光装置1が実装された実装板11とを備えている。図5に示す例において実装板11は、長方形平板状の基部12と、基部12上に位置して発光装置を封止する透光性の蓋体13とを備えている。また、この実施形態における照明装置10は、実装板11を収容する溝状の部分を有する筐体21と、筐体21の短辺側の端部を塞ぐ一対の端板22とをさらに備えている。
A lighting device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The illumination device 10 according to the embodiment includes the light emitting device 1 having any one of the above-described configurations and the mounting plate 11 on which the light emitting device 1 is mounted. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the mounting plate 11 includes a rectangular flat base 12 and a translucent lid 13 located on the base 12 for sealing the light emitting device. In addition, the lighting apparatus 10 in this embodiment further includes a housing 21 having a groove-shaped portion for housing the mounting plate 11, and a pair of end plates 22 for closing an end on the short side of the housing 21. There is.
この照明装置10から外部に放射される外部放射光は、基本的に、発光装置1の外部放射光と同じスペクトルを有している。そのため、照明装置10の外部放射光も、発光装置1の外部放射光と同様の効果を有している。なお、発光装置1の外部放射光と同じスペクトルとは、360~430nmの第1ピーク波長λ1および430~470nmの第2ピーク波長λを有するピーク領域Pと、第2ピーク波長λ2の上限から750nmの波長にかけて、光強度が連続的に減少する長波長領域Lとを有するスペクトルである。
The external radiation emitted from the lighting device 10 to the outside basically has the same spectrum as the external radiation of the light emitting device 1. Therefore, the external radiation of the lighting device 10 also has the same effect as the external radiation of the light emitting device 1. The same spectrum as the external emission light of the light emitting device 1 refers to the peak region P having the first peak wavelength λ1 of 360 to 430 nm and the second peak wavelength λ of 430 to 470 nm, and 750 nm from the upper limit of the second peak wavelength λ2. And a long wavelength region L in which the light intensity decreases continuously.
すなわち、透光性の蓋体13を含む実装板11および筐体21によって構成される実装空間内に、複数の発光装置1が実装されて、水生生物等の飼育に用いられる照明装置10が構成されている。このような照明装置10によれば、上記構成の発光装置1を含んでいることから、水生生物の飼育に適した照明装置を提供することができる。
That is, the plurality of light emitting devices 1 are mounted in the mounting space formed by the mounting plate 11 including the translucent lid 13 and the housing 21, and the lighting device 10 used for breeding aquatic organisms and the like is configured. It is done. According to such a lighting device 10, since the light emitting device 1 having the above configuration is included, it is possible to provide a lighting device suitable for breeding aquatic organisms.
また、照明装置10は、実施形態の発光装置1とは異なるスペクトルの外部放射光を放射する発光装置(符号なし)(以下、他の発光装置という)を含んでいても構わない。他の発光装置は、互いにスペクトルが異なる外部放射光を有する複数種のものを含んでいてもよい。
In addition, the lighting device 10 may include a light emitting device (without a code) (hereinafter, referred to as another light emitting device) that emits external radiation having a spectrum different from that of the light emitting device 1 of the embodiment. Other light emitting devices may include multiple types having external radiation with different spectra.
この場合、複数種の他の発光装置の外部放射光を合成させることで、実施形態の発光装置1と同様のスペクトルを有する外部放射光とすることもできる。この構成において、照明装置10から外部に放射される、発光装置1と同じスペクトルの外部放射光の光強度を効果的に高めることもできる。また、あわせて、複数種の他の発光装置の発光強度を適宜調整することで、照明装置10の外部放射光のスペクトルを微調整することもできる。この場合の微調整としては、例えば、第1、第2ピーク波長λ1、λ2における最大ピーク波長の一方または両方を異ならせること等を挙げることができる。
In this case, external radiation light having a spectrum similar to that of the light emitting device 1 according to the embodiment can also be obtained by combining the external radiation light of a plurality of other light emitting devices. In this configuration, it is also possible to effectively increase the light intensity of the external radiation of the same spectrum as the light emitting device 1 emitted from the lighting device 10 to the outside. Moreover, the spectrum of the external radiation light of the illuminating device 10 can also be finely adjusted by appropriately adjusting the light emission intensity of a plurality of other light emitting devices. As fine adjustment in this case, for example, making one or both of the maximum peak wavelengths at the first and second peak wavelengths λ1 and λ2 different can be mentioned.
実装板11は、複数の発光装置1を配列して保持する機能を有している。また、実装板11は、発光装置1が発する熱を外部に放散させる機能を有している。実装板11は、例えば、アルミニウム、銅またはステンレス鋼等の金属材料、有機樹脂材料またはこれらを含む複合材料等により形成されている。
The mounting plate 11 has a function of arranging and holding the plurality of light emitting devices 1. In addition, the mounting plate 11 has a function of dissipating the heat generated by the light emitting device 1 to the outside. The mounting plate 11 is formed of, for example, a metal material such as aluminum, copper or stainless steel, an organic resin material, or a composite material including these.
この実施形態における実装板11は、平面視において細長い長方形状であり、例えば、長手方向の長さが100mm以上2000mm以下である。前述したように、実装板11は、複数の発光装置1が実装される実装領域を上面に有する基部12と、実装領域を封止する透光性の蓋体13とを含んでいる。また、実装板11は、筐体21の溝状の部分に収容される。溝状の部分の両端がそれぞれ端板22で塞がれて、筐体21内に実装板11およびこれに実装された複数の発光装置1が固定されて収容される。

Both ends of the groove-like portion are closed by the end plates 22, respectively, and the mounting plate 11 and the plurality of light emitting devices 1 mounted thereon are fixed and accommodated in the housing 21.
基部12としては、例えば、リジッド基板、フレキシブル基板またはリジッドフレキシブル基板等のプリント基板が用いられる。基部12に配置された配線パターンと発光装置1における基板2の配線導体とが、半田または導電性接着剤を介して互いに電気的に接続される。外部の電源から基部12を介して伝送された電気信号(電流)が基板2を介して発光素子3に伝わり、発光素子3が発光する。
For example, a printed circuit board such as a rigid board, a flexible board, or a rigid flexible board is used as the base 12. The wiring pattern disposed on the base 12 and the wiring conductor of the substrate 2 in the light emitting device 1 are electrically connected to each other via a solder or a conductive adhesive. An electric signal (current) transmitted from an external power source through the base 12 is transmitted to the light emitting element 3 through the substrate 2 and the light emitting element 3 emits light.

また、蓋体13は、光を拡散させる機能を有する材料からなるものでもよい。この場合には、照明装置10の外部放射光のスペクトルを発光装置1と同じに維持しながら、まぶしさを低減することができる。光を拡散させる材料としては、例えば、上記透光性の材料に、その材料とは光の屈折率が異なる樹脂材料等の粒子を添加したものが挙げられる。
Moreover, the lid 13 may be made of a material having a function of diffusing light. In this case, the glare can be reduced while maintaining the spectrum of the external radiation light of the lighting device 10 the same as the light emitting device 1. As a material for diffusing light, for example, a material obtained by adding particles of a resin material or the like having a refractive index of light different from that of the material to the light transmitting material is mentioned.
なお、上記の照明装置10は、複数の発光装置1を直線状に配列した線発光の照明装置であるが、これに限らず複数の発光装置1を格子状または千鳥格子状に配列した面発光の照明装置であってもよい。また、実装板11(基部12等)は、平面視で細長い長方形状のものに限らず、平面視で正方形状等の縦横比が小さい四角形状でもよく、円形状または楕円形状等の四角形状以外のものでもよい。例えば、照明装置が水生生物の飼育されている水槽上に配置されるものであるときに、この水槽の形状と同様の形状(例えば円形状等)の実装板11が用いられてもよい。
In addition, although said illuminating device 10 is an illuminating device of the linear light emission which arranged the several light-emitting devices 1 linearly, the surface which arranged not only this but several light-emitting devices 1 in the shape of a lattice or a zigzag lattice shape It may be a light emitting illumination device. In addition, the mounting plate 11 (the base 12 or the like) is not limited to the elongated rectangular shape in plan view, but may be a rectangular shape having a small aspect ratio such as square in plan view It may be For example, when the lighting device is disposed on a water tank where aquatic organisms are bred, the mounting plate 11 having a shape (for example, a circular shape or the like) similar to the shape of the water tank may be used.
また、複数の発光装置1が直線状に配列されて実装された実装板11を含む照明装置(実施形態の照明装置10または上記他の形態の照明装置等)が、さらに複数個、他の基板に搭載されてなる照明用モジュールとして、水生生物の飼育等に利用されてもよい。また、上記の照明装置10およびモジュール等は、水が付着したときの影響を低減するためのシーリング材等(図示せず)が、筐体21と蓋体13との間等の所定部位に配置されたものでもよく、筐体内に吸湿剤等が配置されたものでもよい。また、配線導体に金めっき等のめっき層が被着されたものでもよい。
