  • Patent number: 9016890
    Abstract: An optical semiconductor-based tube type lighting apparatus capable of enlarging light distribution to have improved assembly characteristics. The lighting apparatus includes an elongated light-transmitting tube, and a plurality of optical semiconductor modules arranged along a circumference of the light-transmitting tube and separated from each other in a cross-sectional view of the light-transmitting tube. Each of the optical semiconductor modules is placed on a point, which is not on a central axis line of light emitted from other optical semiconductor modules, so as not to face another optical semiconductor module at an opposite side thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 28, 2015
    Assignee: Posco LED Company Ltd.

  • Publication number: 20140071666
    Abstract: An optical semiconductor-based tube type lighting apparatus capable of enlarging light distribution to have improved assembly characteristics. The lighting apparatus includes an elongated light-transmitting tube; a linear slit formed on the light-transmitting tube in a longitudinal direction thereof; and at least one bar-shaped optical semiconductor module secured to the light-transmitting tube, with edges of the slit fitted into side surfaces of the bar-shaped optical semiconductor module. The optical semiconductor module includes a heat sink, a PCB attached to the heat sink, and an array of semiconductor optical devices arranged on the PCB. The heat sink is partially exposed from the light-transmitting tube through the slit.
