  • Patent number: 11920752
    Abstract: There is provided a light source device, a headlight, a display apparatus, and an illumination apparatus having excellent heat dissipation. The light source device includes a substrate, a phosphor, a light emitting element, and a wavelength-selective reflecting member. The phosphor is disposed in contact with the substrate. The light emitting element emits excitation light for exciting the phosphor. The wavelength-selective reflecting member partially reflects the excitation light emitted from the light emitting element to be guided to the phosphor and transmits fluorescence emitted from the phosphor by excitation caused by incidence of the excitation light and the excitation light reflected by the phosphor.

  • Patent number: 10680402
    Abstract: Provided is a light-emitting device having low angle dependence of chromaticity as well as achieving wide-angle light distribution. The light-emitting device has a semiconductor laser diode, a first lens, a second lens, and a wavelength converting part for converting the wavelength of the laser beam emitted from the semiconductor laser diode. The first lens has a first spread angle and refracts the laser beam emitted from the semiconductor laser diode. The second lens has a second spread angle and refracts the laser beam refracted by the first lens. The second spread angle is larger than the first spread angle.

  • Patent number: 10584853
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a plurality of semiconductor laser elements including a first semiconductor laser element, and a plurality of reflectors including a first reflector for reflecting light emitted from the first semiconductor laser element, each of reflectors reflecting light emitted from corresponding one of the plurality of semiconductor laser elements. Light emitted from the first semiconductor laser element passes through a gap between two of the plurality of reflectors excluding the first reflector and reaches the first reflector. Lights emitted from the plurality of semiconductor laser elements are extracted in a direction different than an incident direction thereof toward the plurality of reflectors.

  • Patent number: 10522970
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a laser diode element, a wavelength-converting member that absorbs light emitted from the laser diode element and converts wavelength of the light, and a transparent conductive film that is arranged on at least one of a light extracting-side surface and a laser diode element-side surface of the wavelength-converting member. The transparent conductive film is configured such that electrical resistance in a region overlapping the wavelength-converting member increases when the wavelength-converting member is damaged.
