Publication number: 20210108767Abstract: The present disclosure provides a wavelength conversion device including a first thermal conductive plate, a wavelength conversion layer and a second thermal conductive plate. The wavelength conversion layer is disposed on the first side of the first thermal conductive plate and configured to perform a wavelength conversion. The second thermal conductive plate is disposed on the second side of the first thermal conductive plate.
