Abstract

There is provided a light source module including a light emitting device, and an optical device including a first surface disposed above the light emitting device and having a hollow recessed in a light emitting direction in a central portion through which an optical axis passes, and a second surface disposed to be opposite to the first surface and configured to refract light incident through the hollow to be emitted to the outside. The optical device includes a plurality of ridges disposed on the second surface and periodically arranged in a direction from the optical axis to an edge connected to the first surface.

Claims

1. A light source module, comprising:

a substrate;

at least one light-emitting device mounted on the substrate; and

at least one optical device mounted on the substrate and covering the at least one light-emitting device,

wherein the optical device comprises a first lens covering a light-emitting surface of the light-emitting device and a second lens covering the first lens.

2. The light source module of claim 1, wherein the first lens comprises a first surface disposed on the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting device and on which light is incident from the light-emitting surface, and a second surface connected to an edge of the first surface and protruding in a light-emitting direction, and

the second lens comprises a third surface facing the light-emitting device and having a hollow accommodating the first lens in a center thereof, and a fourth surface disposed on the second surface, connected to an edge of the third surface, and emitting the light.

3. The light source module of claim 2, wherein the first surface and the second surface are disposed on a level corresponding to each other.

4. The light source module of claim 2, wherein a cross-sectional area of the first surface is the same as or greater than a cross-sectional area of the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting device.

5. The light source module of claim 2, wherein the first lens is embedded in the second lens in the manner of filling the hollow, and the first lens is integrated with the second lens.

6. The light source module of claim 2, wherein the fourth surface comprises a first curved surface recessed toward the hollow on an optical axis and having a concave surface and a second curved surface having a convex surface continuously extending from an edge of the first curved surface to an edge connected to the third surface.

7. The light source module of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first lens and the second lens comprises a light-reflecting material.

8. The light source module of claim 1, wherein a refractive index of the second lens is the same as or greater than a refractive index of the first lens.

9. The light source module of claim 1, wherein the at least one light-emitting device comprises a package body having a reflective cup-shaped recess, an LED chip installed in the recess, and a wavelength-converting layer filling the recess and sealing the LED chip.

10. The light source module of claim 1, wherein the optical device comprises a support protruding from the second lens.

11. The light source module of claim 10, wherein the support has a length corresponding to a height of the light-emitting device.

12. A light source module, comprising:

a substrate;

at least one light-emitting device mounted on the substrate;

at least one first lens mounted on the substrate and covering the at least one light-emitting device; and

at least one second lens mounted on the substrate and covering the at least one first lens,

wherein the first lens is embedded in the second lens and integrated with the second lens.

13. The light source module of claim 12, wherein the first lens comprises a first surface disposed on the substrate, and a second surface connected to an edge of the first surface and protruding in a light-emitting direction, and

the second lens comprises a third surface disposed on the substrate and including a hollow accommodating the first lens in a center thereof, a fourth surface disposed on the second surface and emitting light of the light-emitting device to the outside, and a fifth surface connecting edges of the third surface and the fourth surface and reflecting the light to the fourth surface.

14. The light source module of claim 13, wherein the fifth surface forms an obtuse angle with respect to the third surface, and is inclined with respect to the third surface.

15. The light source module of claim 13, wherein the second lens further comprises a reflective layer covering the fifth surface.

16. The light source module of claim 13, wherein the fourth surface is bulged in the light-emitting direction.
