Light-emitting apparatus and color-matching apparatus
First Claim
1. A light-emitting apparatus comprising:
- a board;
a resin frame fixed on the board;
a plurality of sets of light-emitting elements which are mounted in a region on the board surrounded by the resin frame, wherein the light-emitting elements configuring each of the sets are connected in series to each other;
a plurality of pairs of connection electrodes which are provided on the board, and electrically connected to the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements and capable of supplying a drive current selectively to some of the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements; and
a sealing resin which comprises a phosphor mixed therein and excited by light from the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements, and is filled in such a way as to bury the region on the board surrounded by the resin frame, to seal integrally the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements with a single sealing resin,wherein a thickness of the sealing resin immediately above the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements differs for the respective sets, and thereby, a chromaticity of light emitted from the sealing resin differs when each of the sets of light-emitting elements emits the light singly,wherein the light-emitting elements within each of the sets are placed at the same depth from an upper surface of the sealing resin, and the light-emitting elements of different sets are placed at different depths from the upper surface of the sealing resin.

Abstract
Provided is a light-emitting apparatus including a board, a resin frame fixed on the board, sets of light-emitting elements mounted in a region on the board surrounded by the resin frame, wherein the light-emitting elements configuring each set are connected in series to each other. The light-emitting apparatus further includes connection electrodes provided on the board and electrically connected to the light-emitting elements and capable of supplying a drive current selectively to the sets of light-emitting elements, and a sealing resin which includes a phosphor mixed therein and excited by light from the light-emitting elements, and is filled so as to bury the region on the board, to seal integrally the light-emitting elements. The thickness of the sealing resin immediately above the light-emitting elements differs for the respective sets, and thereby, a chromaticity of light emitted from the sealing resin differs when each set of light-emitting elements emits the light singly.

9. A color-matching apparatus comprising:
-
a board; a resin frame fixed on the board; a plurality of sets of light-emitting elements which are mounted in a region on the board surrounded by the resin frame, wherein the light-emitting elements configuring each of the sets are connected in series to each other; a plurality of pairs of connection electrodes which are provided on the board, and electrically connected to the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements and capable of supplying a drive current selectively to some of the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements; a sealing resin which comprises a phosphor mixed therein and excited by light from the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements, and is filled in such a way as to bury the region on the board surrounded by the resin frame, to seal integrally the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements with a single sealing resin; and a constant-current power supply connected to at least one of the plurality of pairs of connection electrodes, for supplying a drive current to a corresponding one of the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements so that light having a chromaticity corresponding to the set is emitted through the sealing resin, wherein a thickness of the sealing resin immediately above the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements differs for the respective sets, and thereby, a chromaticity of light emitted from the sealing resin differs when each of the sets of light-emitting elements emits the light singly, and wherein the light-emitting elements within each of the sets are placed at the same depth from an upper surface of the sealing resin, and the light-emitting elements of different sets are placed at different depths from the upper surface of the sealing resin.
