  • Patent number: 10508778
    Abstract: Provided is a light-emitting device in which a light-emitting region is increased in size without decreasing the yield. This light-emitting device includes a central light-emitting unit, and a plurality of peripheral light-emitting units arranged to fill a periphery of the central light-emitting unit, wherein each of the central light-emitting unit and the peripheral light-emitting units includes a substrate and light-emitting elements mounted on the substrate, and an area of the light-emitting region of each of the peripheral light-emitting units is equal to or smaller than an area of the light-emitting region of the central light-emitting unit.

  • Patent number: 10468453
    Abstract: A light-emitting apparatus including a mother board, and LED packages mounted on the mother board is provided. Each of the LED packages includes: a package substrate; light-emitting regions on the package substrate, the light-emitting regions being rotationally symmetric and each including LED devices, wherein at least some of the light-emitting regions and the other light-emitting regions emit light of different colors; and sets of package electrodes on the package substrate around the light-emitting regions, the sets of package electrodes being rotationally symmetric, wherein the package electrodes of each set correspond to cathodes and anodes of the light-emitting regions capable of emitting light independently of each other. The mother board includes, for each LED package, a set of mother-board electrodes connected to one of the sets of package electrodes of the LED package.

  • Patent number: 10056358
    Abstract: Provided is a light-emitting module that achieves high brightness, whose electrode structure is simple and whose brightness distribution has rotational symmetry. The light-emitting module includes a substrate, a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on the substrate, LED devices connected between the first electrode and the second electrode, a dam member disposed on the substrate so as to surround the LED devices, and a phosphor-containing resin for sealing the LED devices by being filled into a region surrounded by the dam member on the substrate. The first electrode includes a first outer electrode disposed under the dam member and a first inner electrode disposed nearer to a center of the substrate than the first outer electrode is. The second electrode includes a second outer electrode disposed under the dam member and a second inner electrode disposed nearer to the center of the substrate than the second outer electrode is.
