Abstract

Disclosed are a light emitting device package and a light emitting apparatus. The light emitting device package comprises a package body comprising a light emitting surface inclined at an oblique angle with respect to a bottom surface, a plurality of lead electrodes in the package body, and at least one light emitting device electrically connected to the lead electrodes.

Claims

1. A light emitting device package comprising:

a package body comprising a light emitting surface inclined at an oblique angle with respect to a bottom surface of the package body;

a plurality of lead electrodes in the package body; and

at least one light emitting device electrically connected to the lead electrodes.

2. The light emitting device package of claim 1, wherein the package body further comprises a cavity formed in the light emitting surface thereof, the cavity having a predetermined depth and comprising the lead electrodes and the light emitting device therein.

3. The light emitting device package of claim 2, wherein a first end of each lead electrode is provided on the bottom surface through an outer portion of the package body.

4. The light emitting device package of claim 2, wherein the cavity has an inner wall which is perpendicular to a bottom surface of the cavity or outwardly inclined with respect to the bottom surface.

5. The light emitting device package of claim 2, wherein the light emitting surface of the package body is inclined at an angle in a range of about 10°

to about 80°

with respect to the bottom surface of the package body.

6. The light emitting device package of claim 2, wherein the package body comprises:

a light emitting part comprising the cavity; and

a support part supporting the light emitting part with respect to the bottom surface of the package body.

7. The light emitting device package of claim 6, wherein an upper portion of a rear surface of the support part of the package body protrudes.

8. The light emitting device package of claim 2, further comprising a transparent resin member or a transparent phosphor resin member in the cavity,

and wherein the light emitting device comprises at least one of a color LED, which comprises blue, green and red LED chips, and an UV LED chip.

9. The light emitting device package of claim 1, wherein the package body comprises a plastic resin material, and each lead electrode comprises a lead frame.

10. The light emitting device package of claim 1, wherein the package body comprises one selected from the group consisting of polyphthal amide (PPA), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyacryl amide (PAA), and polyether ether ketone (PEEK).

11. A light emitting apparatus comprising:

a board comprising an interconnection pattern; and

a plurality of light emitting device packages each light emitting device package comprising a light emitting surface inclined at an oblique angle with respect to a surface parallel to the board.

12. The light emitting apparatus of claim 11, wherein the light emitting device packages are arrayed in an identical direction or different directions.

13. The light emitting apparatus of claim 11, wherein the light emitting device packages are twisted at a predetermined angle with respect to each other.

14. The light emitting apparatus of claim 11, wherein each light emitting package comprises:

a package body comprising the light emitting surface;

a cavity in the package body;

a plurality of lead electrodes in the cavity; and

at least one light emitting device electrically connected to the lead electrodes.

15. The light emitting apparatus of claim 11, wherein each light emitting device package has a light emitting angle gradually increased or decreased within the oblique angle from a central portion of the board to an outer portion thereof.

16. The light emitting apparatus of claim 11, wherein the light emitting device packages are arranged in groups, wherein the groups are arrayed in a predetermined direction or in a zigzag manner.

17. The light emitting apparatus of claim 11, further comprising an optical sheet on the board.

18. A light emitting device package comprising:

a package body comprising a light emitting part comprising a cavity inclined at an oblique angle and a support part supporting the light emitting part at the oblique angle;

a plurality of lead electrodes in the cavity;

a light emitting device in the cavity; and

a resin member in the cavity.

19. The light emitting device package of claim 18, wherein the resin member comprises a phosphor, and the light emitting device comprises at least one of a color LED and an UV LED chip, the color LED comprising blue, green, and red LED chips.

20. The light emitting device package of claim 18, wherein the light emitting part of the package body is inclined at an angle in a range of about 10°

to about 80°

with respect to a bottom surface of the package body.
