Abstract
A light emitting device includes a plurality of LED strings connected in parallel, wherein: each of the LED strings includes a plurality of LED chips connected in series to each other; in the LED string, ultraviolet light LED chips and blue LED chips or violet LED chips and blue LED chips are connected in series to each other; and the number of the ultraviolet light LED chips or the number of the violet LED chips is the same as the number of the blue LED chips in each of the plurality of LED strings.
Claims16
A light emitting device comprising:
- a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) strings connected in parallel;
- and
- a sealing member formed on the plurality of LED strings and comprising a light-reflecting surface having a substantially circular shape, wherein:
- each of the LED strings includes a plurality of LED chips connected in series to each other;
- in the LED string, ultraviolet light LED chips and blue LED chips or violet LED chips and blue LED chips are connected in series to each other;
- a number of the ultraviolet light LED chips or a number of the violet LED chips is the same as a number of the blue LED chips in each of the plurality of LED strings;
- the light emitting device further comprises a board on which the plurality of LED chips is mounted;
- the ultraviolet light LED chips or the violet LED chips are dispersed and disposed on the board so as to face the light-reflecting surface;
- the plurality of LED chips have a non-linear arrangement in the LED strings such that an LED chip in an LED string of the plurality of LED strings is aligned with LED chips in another LED string of the plurality of LED strings,
- the blue LED chips are disposed so as to surround the ultraviolet light LED chips or the violet LED chips, and
- the ultraviolet light LED chips or the violet LED chips are point-symmetrically disposed based on a center point of the light-reflecting surface.
