Abstract
Provided are an LED light-emitting module and an illumination apparatus using the same. The LED light-emitting module includes a body frame having a light emitting opening in a direction inclined with respect to a ground surface and a coupling surface to which an LED package is coupled, the body frame including reflective plates extending from opposite sides of the coupling surface to define the light emitting opening, a plurality of heat radiating fins placed on the entire surface of the body frame except for the light emitting opening, and a plurality of LED packages installed on the coupling surface of the body frame such that light radiation angles of the LED packages are adjusted according to an angle by which the coupling surface is bent.
Claims22
A light emitting diode (LED) light-emitting module comprising:
- an elongate one-piece body frame having a substantially uniform thickness, a length along a longitudinal direction of the body frame, and, in an end view taken along the longitudinal direction of the body frame, a W shape, the body frame including
- generally planar first and second reflective plates, and
- a coupling portion interposed between, joined to, and coupling the first and second reflective plates to each other, wherein
- the coupling portion has an inside coupling surface between the first and second reflective plates,
- the first and second reflective plates have respective first and second inside surfaces that are contiguous to the inside coupling surface of the coupling portion,
- the first and second inside surfaces of the first and second reflective plates face each other, are oriented at respective first and second angles with respect to the inside coupling surface of the coupling portion, and define, between each other, and opposite the inside coupling surface of the coupling portion, a light-emitting opening of the body frame,
- the coupling portion includes first and second coupling parts that are contiguous, oblique to each other, and have respective inside surfaces that respectively face the first and second inside surfaces of the first and second reflective plates,
- the coupling portion includes an outside coupling surface opposite the inside coupling surface of the coupling portion,
- the first and second reflective plates include respective first and second outside surfaces opposite the respective first and second inside surfaces of the first and second reflective plates, and
- the first and second reflective plates diverge from each other along a direction extending from the inside coupling surface of the coupling portion toward the light-emitting opening;
- a plurality of packaged LEDs respectively mounted on the first and second coupling parts of the coupling portion, on the inside coupling surface of the coupling portion;
- and
- a plurality of spaced apart heat radiating fins, wherein
- each heat radiating fin is mounted on the outside coupling surface of the coupling portion, and on the first and second outside surfaces of the first and second reflective plates, and
- each heat radiating fin is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the body frame.
