Description

LED filament and bulb lamp using same

Technical Field

The application relates to the field of illumination, in particular to an LED filament and a bulb lamp applying the LED filament.

Background

LEDs have the advantages of environmental protection, energy saving, high efficiency and long service life, and are therefore generally paid attention in recent years, and gradually replace the place of the conventional lighting fixtures. However, the light emitted by the conventional LED light source has directivity, unlike the conventional lamp, which can illuminate in a wide-angle range, so that the application of the LED to the conventional lamp has corresponding challenges depending on the type of the lamp.

In recent years, an LED filament capable of making an LED light source emit light similar to a conventional tungsten bulb lamp to achieve 360 ° full-angle illumination is receiving attention from the industry. The LED lamp filament is manufactured by serially connecting and fixing a plurality of LED chips on a narrow and slender glass substrate, wrapping the whole glass substrate with silica gel doped with fluorescent powder, and then electrically connecting. In addition, there is also a soft LED filament which has a similar structure to the filament described above, and a flexible substrate (hereinafter referred to as FPC) is used instead of a part of the glass substrate, so that the filament can have a certain bending degree. However, soft filaments made with FPCs have, for example, a coefficient of thermal expansion of FPCs that is different from that of the silica gel that encapsulates the filament, resulting in shifting or even degumming of the LED chip over prolonged use; or the FPC is disadvantageous to flexible change of the process conditions, etc.

The applicant has disclosed a soft filament (for example, a part of embodiments of chinese patent publication No. CN 106468405A) in which a soft filament structure without a carrier substrate is provided, and a flexible fluorescent package with wavelength conversion effect is used instead of the conventional structure that a chip must be mounted on a substrate before a fluorescent powder is coated/packaged. However, the stability of the metal wire bonding between the chips is challenging when the filament structure is bent, and when the chip arrangement in the filament is compact, if the adjacent LED chips are connected by the metal wire bonding, stress is easily concentrated at a specific part of the filament due to the fact that the filament is bent, so that the metal wire bonding connected with the LED chips is damaged or even broken, and therefore, some embodiments still have room for improvement in quality.

In the existing flexible filament products, the types of the bulb shells are different, and the modeling requirements on the LED filaments are different, so that the lengths of the LED filaments have different specification changes. The same filament adopts the same number of LED chips, and the longer the filament length is, the larger the interval between two adjacent LED chips is; the more obvious the light spot (or graininess) observed by naked eyes is after the filament is lighted, the more seriously the comfort level of the user.

In the prior art, most of the LED lamps adopt a combination of a blue LED chip and yellow fluorescent powder to emit white light, but the light of the emission spectrum of the LED lamps in a red light area is weak, the color rendering index is low, low color temperature is difficult to realize, certain green fluorescent powder and red fluorescent powder are generally added for improving the color rendering index, but the relative conversion rate of the red fluorescent powder is low, so that the total luminous flux of the LED lamps is generally reduced, namely the light efficiency is reduced. And if the red light is absent, green light and blue light in the human eyes form a cyan image, so that the color gamut of color reproduction is reduced, the lighting scene is rigid and uninteresting, and the quality of the lighting environment is also influenced. Furthermore, using illumination with high color rendering may improve the perception of space by people, while low color rendering may affect the ability to distinguish objects and accurately perceive the surrounding environment.

The existing LED filaments are generally coated with mixed fluorescent powder glue on the outer surfaces of the LED filaments, and fluorescent glue with different color temperatures can show different colors after baking, so that the LED lamp is not attractive when being used as a decorative lamp due to the fact that the LED filaments with different color temperatures can show various colors at a glance after being installed. Some are provided with the graphite alkene glue film respectively in the top and the below of base plate, with the different colours of graphite alkene modulation to this visual impact that solves the different outward appearance colours of fluorescence glue film and bring, but graphite alkene manufacturing cost is high, moreover easy polluted environment.

The LED chip is provided with a first light-emitting surface and a second light-emitting surface, the first light-emitting surface is opposite to the second light-emitting surface, light emitted from the first light-emitting surface (front surface) faces the top layer, light emitted from the second light-emitting surface (back surface) faces the bearing layer, the back surface of the normally flip-chip or back-plated front-mounted LED chip is basically opaque, the brightness difference between the front surface and the back surface of the LED chip is large, if the LED chip is adopted in the LED filament, the luminous flux of certain directions is less after the LED filament is wound, and the light emission of the LED bulb lamp is uneven.

In addition, the LED filament is generally disposed in the LED bulb lamp, and in order to present aesthetic feeling on the appearance, and also in order to make the illumination effect of the LED filament more uniform and wide, the LED filament may be bent to present various curves. However, the LED chips are arranged in the LED filament, and the LED chips are relatively hard objects, so that the LED filament is difficult to bend into a desired shape. In addition, the LED filament is also likely to be cracked due to stress concentration at the time of bending.

In addition, the LED filaments are generally arranged in a straight line around the stem, the LED filaments emit little light in the directions close to the two ends, and when one ends of the LED filaments are arranged close to the light emitting top of the bulb, a dark area is formed in the light emitting direction of the central axis of the bulb, so that the output light is distributed unevenly in space, illuminance distribution is uneven, and the problem of 'black under the lamp' is generated.

At present, an LED filament lamp generally adopts a driving power source to convert alternating current into direct current and then drive the LED filament lamp to emit light, however, ripples exist in the process of rectifying the alternating current into the direct current by the driving power source, which can cause stroboscopic light of the LED filament lamp during light emission. In order to reduce or even eliminate the stroboscopic effect generated in the process of emitting light of the LED filament, an electrolytic capacitor for removing ripples is usually added into a driving power supply, and the service life of the electrolytic capacitor is greatly influenced by heat generated by a heating element in the driving power supply.

When a plurality of LED modules are included in the lighting apparatus, the plurality of LED modules need to be driven with different currents, which tends to increase the complexity of the circuit and the cost of the circuit if a plurality of drivers are used, and thus a shunt circuit is required to distribute the currents to the plurality of LED modules.

The present application is further optimized for the above application to further cope with various different processes and product requirements.

Detailed Description

In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the application will be readily understood, a more particular description of the application will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings.

As shown in fig. 1A-1M, 2A-2C, and 3A-3E, the LED filament has a light conversion layer 220/420, LED chip units 202/204 (or LED segments 402/404), and electrodes (or conductive electrodes) 210, 212/410, 412. The light conversion layer 220/420 encapsulates the LED chip units 202/204 (or LED segments 402/404) and a portion of the electrodes (or conductive electrodes) 210, 212/410, 412, with a portion of the electrodes (or conductive electrodes) 210, 212/410, 412 exposed outside the light conversion layer 220/420, electrically connected to each other between adjacent LED chip units 202, 204 (or LED segments 402, 404) and between the LED chip units 202/204 (or LED segments 402/404) and the electrodes (or conductive electrodes) 210, 212/410, 412. The LED filament includes at least two LED chips 442, adjacent LED chips 442 are electrically connected to each other, and the LED chip units 202/204 (or LED segments 402/404) include at least one LED chip 442. The light conversion layer 420 includes a top layer 420a and a carrier layer, and the top layer 420a and the carrier layer may be at least one layer respectively. The layered structure may be selected from: a phosphor paste having high formability (relative to the phosphor film), a phosphor film or transparent layer having low formability, or any combination of the three. The phosphor glue/phosphor film comprises the following components: the silicone modified polyimide and/or glue, phosphor glue/phosphor film may also include phosphor, inorganic oxide nanoparticles (or heat sink particles). The transparent layer 420c may be composed of a light-transmitting resin (e.g., silicone, polyimide) or a combination thereof. The glue may be, but is not limited to, silica gel. In one embodiment, the top layer 420a is made of the same material as the carrier layer. In one embodiment, the carrier layer includes a base layer 420b, and the top layer 420a has a height greater than the height of the base layer 420b in the height direction of the LED filaments. The base layer 420b includes opposite upper and lower surfaces, and the top layer 420a includes opposite upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface of the base layer 420b being in contact with a portion of the lower surface of the top layer 420 a; the LED chip 442 includes an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to each other, the upper surface of the LED chip 442 is close to the upper surface of the top layer 420b relative to the lower surface of the LED chip 442, the distance from the lower surface of the LED chip 442 to the lower surface of the base layer 420b is smaller than the distance from the lower surface of the LED chip 442 to the upper surface of the top layer 420a, and the heat conduction path from the LED chip 442 to the outer surface of the base layer 420b is shorter because the heat conduction coefficient of the top layer 420a is larger than that of the base layer 420b, so that heat is not easy to accumulate, and the heat dissipation effect of the LED filament is good. In one embodiment, if no more than 8w of power is supplied to the LED filament, when lit, emits a luminous flux of at least 4lm on average per millimeter of LED filament length (either on average per millimeter of filament body length or on average per millimeter of top layer 420a length). In one embodiment, the average LED filament length per millimeter (either the average filament body length per millimeter or the average top layer 420a length per millimeter) includes at least 2 LED chips 442, and the junction temperature of the LED chips 442 is no greater than the junction temperature of the LED chips 442 when the LED filaments are lit for 15000 hours in a 25 ℃ ambient environment. Or if no more than 8w of power is supplied to the LED filament, the LED filament emits a luminous flux of at least 4lm on average per cubic millimeter of LED filament volume (either on average per cubic millimeter of filament body volume or on average per cubic millimeter of top layer 420a volume) when lit. In one embodiment, the average per cubic millimeter of LED filament volume (either the average per cubic millimeter of filament body volume or the average per cubic millimeter of top layer 420a volume) comprises at least 2 LED chips, and the junction temperature of the LED chips 442 is no greater than the junction temperature of the LED chips 442 after 15000 hours of LED filament ignition in a 25 ℃ ambient environment. In some embodiments, the lifetime of the LED chip 442 may be related to a thermal equilibrium temperature (e.g., junction temperature of the LED chip 442). The relationship between the lifetime of the LED chip 442 and the junction temperature varies depending on the manufacturer of the LED chip 442. In the LED filament, the heat of the LED chip 442 is transferred to the ambient environment by thermal conduction and maintained at a temperature not higher than a specific temperature (e.g., maintained at a junction temperature not higher than the 15000 hour rated life of the LED chip in the 25 degree celsius ambient environment).

Filament lamp products have not been the sole purpose of lighting in most applications, but rather have been part of the environmental decoration. That is, when the filament lamp is not lighted, the filament styling and appearance colors (including filament appearance color (or color of the filament body) and bulb appearance color) are of interest to the consumer; when the filament lamp is lighted, it is emphasized whether the color temperature and illuminance meet the environmental requirements, and the filament body mentioned above does not include a portion of the electrode exposing the light conversion layer 420. In one embodiment, when the LED filament is not on, the surface of the LED filament is white, gray, black, blue, green, purple, etc., and in some embodiments the surface of the LED filament may be the surface of the light conversion layer 420. The LED lamp filament can emit light with different colors when not lighted, so that the bulb lamp with the LED lamp filament can be applied to different scenes to achieve different decorative effects. In some embodiments, the LED filament includes a coating that is white, gray, black, blue, green, purple, or the like in color. The coating layer covers at least a part of the surface of the light conversion layer 420, preferably the coating layer covers the entire surface of the light conversion layer 420. For example, the surface of the light conversion layer 420 is coated with a red coating, and when the LED filament is not lighted, the surface of the LED filament is red, and when the LED filament is lighted, the LED filament emits white light. Of course, the LED filament may emit light with the same color as when the LED filament is not lit, for example, the surface of the light conversion layer 420 is coated with a white coating, when the LED filament is not lit, the surface of the LED filament is white, and when the LED filament is lit, the light emitted by the LED filament is also white, and the white coating may be alumina. In some embodiments, the top layer 420a and/or the surface of the carrier layer are covered with a film that is black, gray, red, etc. in color. The general material has a certain light absorption property, and a film with high light transmittance is preferable, for example, the film has a light transmittance of at least 80 or more, so that the luminous flux of the LED filament can be prevented from being reduced after the LED filament is lighted. In some embodiments, the thickness of the film is smaller than that of the top layer 420a, so that the heat generated by the LED chip 442 is not easily accumulated in the film, and the appearance and heat dissipation of the LED filament are both required. When the film contains the fluorescent powder, the fluorescent powder content of the film is smaller than the fluorescent powder concentration of the top layer 420a or the bearing layer, if the top layer 420a or the bearing layer is of a multi-layer structure, the fluorescent powder content of the film is at least smaller than the fluorescent powder content of one layer, the thickness of the LED filament is increased due to the existence of the film, the heat conduction path of the LED filament is prolonged, if the fluorescent powder content in the film is increased to improve the heat dissipation performance of the LED filament, the hardness of the film is increased due to the increase of the fluorescent powder content in the film, the flexibility of the LED filament is deteriorated, the probability of cracks when the LED filament is bent is increased, therefore, a certain amount of fluorescent powder is added into the film, and the color of the LED filament when not lighted can be changed under the condition of considering the heat dissipation performance and the flexibility of the LED filament. In some embodiments, after the top layer 420a and/or the base layer surface is covered with a film, the color of the filament body is gray black (near the original color of the tungsten filament) when the filament is unlit, and the light emitted by the LED filament is white when the LED filament is lit. In some embodiments, the color of the light conversion layer, the filament body, etc. when the filament is not on, or the color of the light emitted by the LED filament after being on, includes primary colors, colors formulated from at least two primary colors, such as the primary colors being the three primary colors (RGB) of light.

In one embodiment, the light conversion layer 420 includes a top layer 420a and a carrier layer, wherein the top layer 420a and the carrier layer may be at least one layered structure, and the top surface of the top layer 420a and the lower surface of the carrier layer have different colors. Since the LED filaments are in two different colors when not lighted, the LED filaments can be applied to a multi-color system use scene.

In some embodiments, when the LED chips 442 in the width direction of the LED filament have only one row (as shown in fig. 2B, the LED chips 442 (i.e. in fig. 2B) are arranged in the same direction), the length direction of the LED filament has a bendable section and a non-bendable section, and the total length of the bendable section is smaller than the total length of the non-bendable section, so that the whole LED filament has better support. The non-bendable section is the total length of the portion including the LED chip 442 or the electrodes 210, 212/410, 412 in the length direction of the LED filament, and the bendable section is the portion including only the light conversion layer 220/420 and/or the conductive wire (the conductive wire herein refers to the conductive wire connecting the adjacent LED chip or the conductive wire connecting the LED chip and the electrode), that is, the portion not including the LED chip 442 or the electrodes 210, 212/410, 412 in the length direction of the LED filament constitutes the bendable section.

In some embodiments, the total length of the bendable section in the length direction of the LED filament is at least 30% of the total length of the LED filament, so as to ensure the bendability of the filament.

In some embodiments, the total length of the bendable section in the length direction of the LED filament is at least 30% or more and not more than 50% of the total length of the LED filament, so that the LED filament has both flexibility and support.

In some embodiments, when two rows of LED chips 442 are arranged in the width direction of the LED filament and the two rows of LED chips 442 are connected in parallel (as shown in fig. 1L), the length direction of the LED filament is also provided with a bendable section and a non-bendable section, and the total length of the bendable section is smaller than that of the non-bendable section, so that the whole LED filament has better supporting property and bending property. The non-bendable section is the total length of the portion including the LED chip 442 or the electrodes 210, 212/410, 412 in the length direction of the LED filament, and the bendable section is the portion including only the light conversion layer 220/420 and/or the conductive wire (the conductive wire herein refers to the conductive wire connecting the adjacent LED chip or the conductive wire connecting the LED chip and the electrode), that is, the portion not including the LED chip 442 or the electrodes 210, 212/410, 412 in the length direction of the LED filament constitutes the bendable section.

In some embodiments, the total length of the bendable sections is at least 0.001% and not more than 20% of the total length of the LED filament. In some embodiments, the portion of the LED filament where the LED chips are disposed in the length direction (i.e., the area between the leftmost LED chip and the rightmost LED chip in fig. 1L) may not have a bendable section, and may still have a certain flexibility due to the staggered arrangement between the adjacent LED chips.

In some embodiments, when the LED chips 442 in the width direction of the LED filament have two columns, and the two columns of LED chips 442 are sequentially connected in series (as shown in fig. 1M), the length direction of the LED filament has a bendable section and a non-bendable section, and the total length of the bendable section is smaller than that of the non-bendable section, so that the whole LED filament has better support. The non-bendable section is the total length of the portion including the LED chip 442 or the electrodes 210, 212/410, 412 in the length direction of the LED filament, and the bendable section is the portion including only the light conversion layer 220/420 and/or the conductive wire (the conductive wire herein refers to the conductive wire connecting the adjacent LED chip or the conductive wire connecting the LED chip and the electrode), that is, the portion not including the LED chip 442 or the electrodes 210, 212/410, 412 in the length direction of the LED filament constitutes the bendable section.

In some embodiments, the total length of the bendable section in the length direction of the LED filament is at least 0.001% or more and not more than 30% of the total length of the LED filament, so that the LED filament has both bendability and supportability.

In some embodiments, the LED filament is provided with one or two rows of LED chips, and more than 0.5 LED chips are provided per unit length (per millimeter length), so that a reasonable distance can be provided between the LED chips to meet the requirement of light emitting uniformity, and severe thermal influence of the LED chips can be prevented.

Fig. 1A is a schematic structural view of an embodiment of an LED filament of the present application, an LED filament 400 having: a light conversion layer 420; LED segments 402/404 and electrodes 410/412. The LED segments 402/404 have at least one LED chip 442, and the adjacent LED chips in the LED filament, the LED chips, and the electrodes 410/412 are electrically connected to each other, for example, by a circuit film, a first conductive wire 440 in fig. 1B, and the like. The light conversion layer 420 comprises a top layer 420a and a carrier layer comprising a base layer 420b and a transparent layer 420c, the base layer 420b being located between the top layer 420a and the transparent layer 420c (at least in a certain cross section of the LED filament 400). In one embodiment, the base layer 420b includes an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to each other, the upper surface of the base layer 420b contacts a portion of the top layer 420a, the lower surface of the base layer 420b contacts the transparent layer 420c, and in some embodiments, a portion of the lower surface of the base layer 420b contacts the transparent layer 420c, the transparent layer 420c supports a portion of the base layer 420b, so as to enhance the strength of the base layer 420b, facilitate die bonding, and the portion of the base layer 420b not covered by the transparent layer 420c can enable a portion of the heat generated by the LED chip 442 to be directly dissipated through the base layer 420 b. In this embodiment, the total length of the base layer 420b is the same as the total length of the top layer 420a, in which the total length of the transparent layer 420c is 5-100% of the total length of the base layer 420b, in which the length of the transparent layer 420c is smaller than the length of the base layer 420b, in which the total length of the transparent layer 420c is 10-80% of the total length of the base layer 420b, in which the total length of the transparent layer 420c is 10-50% of the total length of the base layer 420b, in which the heat dissipation area of the LED chip is relatively reduced when the LED filament is thin (e.g., the width of the LED filament is 120 μm or less), the transparent layer is positioned below the base layer, so that deformation of the base layer caused by heating can be reduced on the one hand; on the other hand, the LED chip can be supported in an auxiliary way, and die bonding and wire bonding are facilitated. In one embodiment, the transparent layer 420c includes a first transparent layer 420c1 and a second transparent layer 420c2, the first transparent layer 420c1 and the second transparent layer 420c2 extend along the length direction of the LED filament, the first transparent layer 420c1 extends from one end of the base layer 420b, the second transparent layer 420c2 extends from the other end of the base layer 420b, and the extending direction of the first transparent layer 420c1 is opposite to the extending direction of the second transparent layer 420c 2. In one embodiment, the light conversion layer 420 has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, in one embodiment, the LED chip 442 is located between the first end and the second end, if the LED chip closest to the first end is denoted as LED chip n ₁, the LED chips from the first end to the second end are LED chips n ₂,n₃,……n_m in sequence, m is an integer and m is less than or equal to 800, in some embodiments, 50 is less than or equal to m is less than or equal to 300, and the length of the first transparent layer 420c1 and/or the second transparent layer 420c2 in the length direction of the LED filament is at least greater than the distance from the first end to the LED chip n 2. The first transparent layer 420c1 and the second transparent layer 420c2 have a space therebetween, and a distance between the first transparent layer 420c1 and the second transparent layer 420c2 is greater than a length of the first transparent layer 420c1 and/or the second transparent layer 420c2 in a length direction of the LED filament. When the LED filament is bent, the part, which is close to the electrode and is easy to separate from the light conversion layer or is easy to crack, of the light conversion layer, which is in contact with the electrode, the first transparent layer 420c1 and the second transparent layer 420c2 can perform structural reinforcement on the part, which is in contact with the electrode, of the light conversion layer, so that the crack is prevented from occurring at the contact part of the light conversion layer 420 and the electrode 410/412.

Fig. 1B is a schematic structural view of another embodiment of the LED filament of the present application, as shown in fig. 1B, an LED filament 400 has: a light conversion layer 420; LED segments 402, 404; electrodes 410, 412; and a conductor segment 430 for electrically connecting between adjacent two LED segments 402, 404. The LED segment 402/404 includes at least two LED chips 442, and the LED chips 442 are electrically connected to each other by a first conductive wire 440. In the present embodiment, the conductor segment 430 includes a conductor 430a connecting the LED segments 402, 404, wherein the shortest distance between two LED chips 442 respectively located in two adjacent LED segments 402, 404 is greater than the distance between two adjacent LED chips in the LED segments 402/404, and the length of the first wire 440 is smaller than the length of the conductor 430 a. In this way, it is ensured that the stress generated when bending between the two LED segments does not cause the conductor segments to break. The light conversion layer 420 is coated on at least two sides of the LED chip 442/electrodes 410, 412. The light conversion layer 420 exposes a portion of the electrodes 410, 412. The light conversion layer 420 has a top layer 420a and a carrier layer, which are respectively used as an upper layer and a lower layer of the LED filament, in this embodiment, the carrier layer includes a base layer 420b, and the base layer 420b includes an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. The upper surface of the base layer 420b is adjacent to the top layer 420a with respect to the lower surface of the base layer 420b, and the LED segments 402/404 and portions of the electrodes 410/412 are disposed on the upper surface of the base layer 420b, or at least one side of the LED segments 402/404 is in contact (either direct contact or indirect contact) with the upper surface of the base layer 420 b.

As shown in fig. 1C, in the present embodiment, the conductor segments 430 are also located between two adjacent LED segments 402 and 404, and the LED chips 442 in the LED segments 402 and 404 are electrically connected to each other by the first wires 440. However, the conductor 430a in the conductor segment 430 of fig. 1C is not in the form of a wire, but in the form of a sheet or film. In some embodiments, conductor 430a may be copper foil, gold foil, or other electrically conductive material. In this embodiment, the conductor 430a is attached to the surface of the base layer 420b and abuts the top layer 420a, i.e., between the base layer 420b and the top layer 420 a. The conductor segment 430 is electrically connected to the LED segments 402/404 through the second wire 450, that is, the two LED chips 442 located in the two adjacent LED segments 402, 404 and having the shortest distance from the conductor segment 430 are electrically connected to the conductor 430a in the conductor segment 430 through the second wire 450. Wherein the length of the conductor segment 430 is greater than the distance between two adjacent LED chips 442 in the LED segments 402, 404, and the length of the first wire 440 is less than the length of the conductor 430 a. With this design, since the conductor segment has a relatively long length, it is possible to ensure that the conductor segment has good flexibility. Assuming that the maximum thickness of the LED chip 442 in the radial direction of the LED filament is H, the thicknesses of the electrodes 410/412, the conductors 430a in the radial direction of the LED filament are 0.5H to 1.4H, preferably 0.5H to 0.7H. The LED chip has a height difference with the electrode and the LED chip with the conductor, so that the wire bonding process can be ensured to be implemented, meanwhile, the quality (namely, good strength) of the wire bonding process is ensured, and the stability of a product is improved.

As shown in fig. 1D, the LED filament 400 has: a light conversion layer 420; LED segments 402, 404; electrodes 410, 412; and a conductor segment 430 for electrically connecting between adjacent two LED segments 402, 404. The LED segment 402/404 includes at least one LED chip 442, and the conductor segment 430 is electrically connected to the LED segment 402/404 through a second wire 450, that is, two LED chips 442 located in two adjacent LED segments 402, 404 and having the shortest distance from the conductor segment 430 are electrically connected to the conductor 430a in the conductor segment 430 through the second wire 450. The LED chips 442 are electrically connected to each other by a first conductive wire 440, and the conductor segment 430 includes a conductor 430a connecting the LED segments 402 and 404, where the conductor 430a is a conductive metal sheet or metal strip, such as a copper sheet or an iron sheet. Wherein the shortest distance between two LED chips 442 respectively located in two adjacent LED segments 402, 404 is larger than the distance between two adjacent LED chips in the LED segments 402/404, and the length of the first wire 440 is smaller than the length of the conductor 430 a. Therefore, when the two LED sections are bent, the stress area of the conductor section is larger, and the generated stress does not cause the breakage of the conductor section. The light conversion layer 420 covers at least two sides of the LED chip 442/electrodes 410, 412. The light conversion layer 420 exposes a portion of the electrodes 410, 412. The light conversion layer 420 includes a top layer 420a and a carrier layer, the carrier layer includes a base layer 420b and a transparent layer 420c, the base layer 420b is located between the top layer 420a and the transparent layer 420c, the base layer 420b and the top layer 420a cover at least two sides of the LED chip 442, the transparent layer 420c has a thermal conductivity greater than that of the base layer 420b, the thickness of the base layer 420b in the radial direction of the LED filament is less than or equal to that of the conductor 430a in the radial direction of the LED filament, when the LED filament is thin (e.g., the width of the LED filament is less than or equal to 120 μm), the heat dissipation area of the LED chip is relatively reduced, by adopting the transparent layer, the deformation of the base layer caused by heating can be reduced, and the LED chip can be supported in an auxiliary manner, so that the die bonding and wire bonding are facilitated. In this embodiment, the top layer 420a, the base layer 420b and the transparent layer 420c wrap the conductor 430a, on one hand, reduce the influence of the external environment on the conductor, on the other hand, increase the bearing capacity when the conductor is electrically connected, and improve the stability of the electrical connection when the conductor is bent. In other embodiments, the thickness of the transparent layer 420c in the height direction of the LED filament is greater than the thickness of the base layer 420b in the height direction of the LED filament, and the wire path of the heat generated by the LED chip and transferred to the transparent layer is short, so that the heat dissipation effect of the LED filament is improved. In some implementations, the absolute value of the height difference between the LED chip 442 and the conductor 430a in the height direction of the LED filament is greater than the height of the LED chip 442 in the height direction of the LED filament, when the LED filament is bent, the second wire is deformed to be smaller after being stressed and extended, and the second wire is not easy to break. In some embodiments, the base layer 420b is in contact with at least one side of the LED chip 442 and one side of the conductor segment 430, in which embodiment the LED chip 442 and the conductor 430a are located on different sides of the base layer 420 b.

Referring to fig. 1E to 1G, in some embodiments, the conductor 430a includes a covering portion 430b and an exposing portion 430c, the length of the exposing portion 430c in the axial direction of the LED filament is smaller than the distance between adjacent LED chips in any LED segment 402/404, and when the LED filament is bent, the exposing portion 430c is slightly deformed due to stress, so that the bending area is small, the deformation degree is small, and the bending form of the LED filament is maintained. As shown in fig. 1E, the exposed portion 430c includes a first exposed portion 430c1 and a second exposed portion 430c2, a portion of the top layer 420a exposed to the conductor 430a is the first exposed portion 430c1, a portion of the transparent layer 420c exposed to the conductor 430a is the second exposed portion 430c2, and a length of the first exposed portion 430c1 in the axial direction (length direction) of the LED filament is greater than or equal to a length of the second exposed portion 430c2 in the axial direction of the LED filament, so as to ensure electrical connection stability and uniform stress when the conductor is bent. As shown in fig. 1F, the exposed portion includes only the first exposed portion 430c1, and the length of the first exposed portion 430c1 in the axial direction of the LED filament is less than or equal to the distance between adjacent LED chips in any LED segment 402/404, when the LED filament is bent, the stress generated during bending is concentrated on the conductor segment, so as to reduce the breaking risk of the wires connecting the adjacent LED chips. As shown in fig. 1G, the exposed portion includes only the second exposed portion 430c2, and thus the conductor stress concentration can be relieved. The length of the second exposed portion 430c2 in the axial direction of the LED filament is less than or equal to the distance between adjacent LED chips in any one of the LED segments 402/404, and since a portion of the conductors are located between adjacent transparent layers, the stability of the support of the conductors by the transparent layers can be ensured.

Referring to fig. 1h, the led filament 400 includes: a light conversion layer 420; LED segments 402, 404; electrodes 410, 412; and a conductor segment 430 for electrically connecting between adjacent two LED segments 402, 404. The LED segments 402 and 404 include at least one LED chip 442, and the conductor segment 430 is electrically connected to the LED segments 402 and 404 through the second wire 450, that is, the two LED chips 442 located in the two adjacent LED segments 402 and 404 and having the shortest distance from the conductor segment 430 are electrically connected to the conductor 430a in the conductor segment 430 through the second wire 450. The conductor segment 430 includes a conductor 430a that connects the LED segments 402, 404, the conductor 430a being, for example, a conductive sheet or strip of metal, such as a sheet of copper or iron. Wherein the shortest distance between two LED chips 442 respectively located in two adjacent LED segments 402, 404 is greater than the distance between two adjacent LED chips in the LED segments 402/404, the LED chips are electrically connected by a first wire 440, and the length of the first wire 440 is smaller than the length of the conductor 430 a. When the two LED sections are bent, the stress area of the conductor section is larger, and the generated stress does not cause the breakage of the conductor section. The light conversion layer 420 covers at least two sides of the LED chip 442/electrodes 410, 412. The light conversion layer 420 exposes a portion of the electrodes 410, 412. The light conversion layer 420 includes a top layer (not shown), a carrier layer including a base layer 420b and a transparent layer 420c, and the LED chips 442 in the LED segments 402/404 are arranged along a radial direction of the LED filaments (or a width direction of the LED filaments), and each LED chip 442 in the LED segments 402/404 is connected to the conductor 430a and/or the electrode 410/412, respectively. In this embodiment, the widths of the base layer 420b and the transparent layer 420c in the radial direction of the LED filament are equal, the contact area between the base layer 420b and the transparent layer 420c is large, and delamination is not easy to occur between the base layer 420b and the transparent layer 420 c. In other embodiments, the width of the base layer 420b in the radial direction of the LED filament is smaller than the width of the transparent layer 420c in the radial direction of the LED filament, the top layer (not shown) contacts with the base layer and the transparent layer 420c, the thickness of the base layer 420b is smaller than the thickness of the top layer, and the heat emitted by the LED chip is simultaneously transferred to the top layer and the transparent layer through the base layer, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of the LED filament is improved, and secondly, the base layer is fully wrapped by the top layer and the transparent layer, so that the base layer is not influenced by external environment, and the LED filament can be protected by multiple sides of the top layer when being bent, the breakage probability of the second conducting wire 450 is reduced, and the product yield is improved.

Referring to fig. 1I to 1j, the led filament has: a light conversion layer 420; LED segments 402/404 and electrodes 410/412. The LED segments 402/404 have at least one LED chip 442, with electrical interconnections between adjacent LED chips 442 in the LED filament and between the LED chips 442 and the electrodes 410/412. The adjacent LED chips 442 are connected by using the wires 440, and the light conversion layer 420 covers each surface of the wires 440, that is, the wires 440 are located in the light conversion layer 420, so that breakage caused by mistaken touching of an instrument or a worker due to exposure of the wires 440 during winding of the LED filaments is avoided. The light conversion layer 420 encapsulates the LED segments 402/404 and the electrodes 410/412 and exposes at least a portion of the two conductive electrodes 210, 212. The light conversion layer 420 includes a top layer 420a and a carrier layer, the top layer 420a covering each side of the conductive lines 440, the conductive lines 440 having a certain spacing from the carrier layer. The top layer 420a and the carrier layer may be at least one layer, respectively, where the top layer 420a includes a phosphor layer 420a1 and a phosphor film layer 420a2, or the top layer 420a includes a phosphor layer 420a1 and a phosphor adhesive layer 420a2, the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the phosphor layer 420a1 is greater than that of the phosphor film layer (or phosphor adhesive layer) 420a2, the phosphor layer 420a1 is at least in contact with one surface of the LED chip 42, on one hand, heat generated by the LED chip 442 is directly transferred to the phosphor film layer/phosphor adhesive layer 420a2 through the phosphor layer 420a1, since the phosphor layer 420a1 has better thermal conductivity due to no silica gel having no thermal conductivity or poor thermal conductivity, the heat generated by the LED chip 442 may be transferred to the phosphor film layer/phosphor glue layer 420a2 through the phosphor layer 420a1 faster, preventing heat from accumulating near the LED chip 442. The phosphor film layer or phosphor glue layer 420a2 is in contact with the phosphor layer 420a 1; on the other hand, the light emitted by the LED chip 442 excites the phosphor layer 420a1 to generate light of one color (e.g., red light), while the absorption capability of the phosphor layer 420a1 to the light emitted by the LED chip is weak, so that the light loss is small, the luminous flux of the LED bulb is not affected, the light emitted by the LED chip 442 is converted into white light after passing through the phosphor film layer or the phosphor adhesive layer 420a2, while the light generated after exciting the phosphor layer 420a1 can supplement the white light with color light of a certain wavelength range (e.g., red light with a wavelength of 610nm-650 nm), so that the color rendering index (Ra) of the LED bulb is at least greater than 85 and/or R9 is greater than 45, after the LED bulb lamp is lightened, the color gamut of the color reproduction of the lighting environment can be increased, and the quality of the lighting environment is improved. Further, the phosphor layer 420a1 only covers the upper surface (or light emitting surface) of the LED chip 442 or the phosphor layer 420a1 only contacts the upper surface (or light emitting surface) of the LED chip 442, and the phosphor layer 420a1 only covers the upper surface (or light emitting surface) of the LED chip 442, so that the above-mentioned light emitting effect can be achieved and the material cost of the LED bulb lamp can be reduced, because the light emitting angle (or beam angle) of the LED chip 442 is generally 120 degrees, and the phosphor is generally expensive.

In some embodiments, phosphor layer 420a1 wraps a portion of wire 440 and phosphor film layer/phosphor glue layer 420a2 wraps another portion of wire 440, with phosphor layer 420a1 and phosphor film layer (or phosphor glue) 420a2 together covering wire 440. The hardness of the phosphor layer 420a1 is greater than the phosphor film layer/phosphor glue layer 420a2, or the flexibility or bendability of the phosphor layer 420a1 is lower than the phosphor film layer/phosphor glue layer 420a2. The connection between the wire 440 and the LED chip 442 is covered by the phosphor layer 420a1, so that the flexibility of the connection between the wire 440 and the LED chip 442 can be reduced, and the risk of breakage of the connection between the wire 440 and the LED chip 442 can be further reduced due to the protection of the phosphor layer 420a 1. In addition, the phosphor layer 420a1 and the phosphor film/phosphor glue layer 420a2 can protect the wires 440 doubly, and prevent the wires from breaking when the LED filament is bent. The quality of the bonding wires is mainly determined by A, B, C, D, E points, a is the connection position of the chip bonding pad 4401 and the gold ball 4403, B is the connection position of the gold ball 4403 and the wire 440, C is the connection position between two sections of the wire 440, D is the connection position of the wire 440 and the two-wire bond pad 4402, E is the connection position between the two-wire bond pad 4402 and the surface of the chip 442, because the point B is the first bending point when the wire 440 is routed to the arc, and the wire diameter of the wire 440 at the point D is thinner, the wire 440 is easy to break at the points B and D, for example, when the structure shown in fig. 1K is implemented, the LED filament is mainly bent, the part of the wire 440 located in the phosphor film/phosphor glue layer 420a2 is stressed, and the part of the wire 440 located in the phosphor layer 420a1 is stressed less, so that the thickness of the phosphor layer 420a1 can be smaller than the thickness of the phosphor film (or the phosphor glue) 420a2, and the phosphor layer 420a1 can cover the point B and the point D of the wire due to the material characteristics (hardness, the flexibility) of the phosphor layer 420a1 or the wire can be prevented from breaking at the point B and the point D.

As shown in fig. 1I, each LED chip 442 is covered with a phosphor layer 420a1, and a portion of the phosphor film layer (or phosphor glue layer) 420a2 of the LED filament is in direct contact with the carrier layer, and in some embodiments, the portion of the phosphor film layer is located between two adjacent LED chips 442, and the phosphor layer 420a1 only covers the LED chips 442, so that the above-mentioned light emitting effect can be achieved and the production cost of the LED bulb lamp can be reduced.

As shown in fig. 1J, the phosphor layer 420a1 extends along the length direction of the LED filaments, and when the phosphor layer 420a1 is coated, a single LED filament may be coated, or a plurality of LED filaments may be coated together. In some embodiments, a portion of the area of the phosphor layer 420a1 in the LED filament is in direct contact with the carrier layer, and in some embodiments, the portion is located between two adjacent LED chips, since the area of the phosphor layer 420a1 is increased (the heat dissipation area is increased at the same time), and the phosphor layer 420a1 is thinner, the heat generated by the LED chip 442 is easily transferred from the phosphor layer 420a1 to the phosphor film layer (or the phosphor glue layer) 420a2.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned phosphor layer 420a1 includes a phosphor and a silica gel, the viscosity of the silica gel is not greater than 1600mpa·s (25 ℃,10 rpm), the phosphor is easy to mix with the silica gel uniformly, the phosphor layer is smooth after being coated, if the viscosity of the silica gel is greater than 1500mpa·s (25 ℃,10 rpm), a diluent (e.g. kerosene) may be added when preparing the phosphor layer 420a1, the silica gel is mixed with the diluent to reduce the viscosity, and then mixed with the phosphor, the diluent is volatilized (e.g. air-dried) after the phosphor layer 420a1 is coated, and the phosphor layer 420a1 is formed on the surface of the LED chip 442. The fluorescent powder can be selected from fluorescent powder with narrower half-peak wave width (the half-peak wave width is not more than 50 nm), and the fluorescent powder has the advantages of narrower half-peak wave width, strong energy and high excitation efficiency. In order to supplement red light, a plurality of fluorescent powders in a low peak wavelength band (the peak wavelength is not more than 630 nm) and a plurality of fluorescent powders in a high peak wavelength band (the peak wavelength is more than 640 nm) are matched and combined for use in general lighting equipment, but the fluorescent powders are generally wider in half-peak bandwidth, relatively lower in excitation efficiency, smaller in R9 value after the lighting equipment is lighted, reduced in color gamut of color reproduction, and in one embodiment, fluorescent powders with half-peak bandwidth (FWHM) of 10-30 nm and peak wavelength of 630-635nm can be adopted to supplement red light in a certain peak wavelength range, and increased in color gamut of color reproduction.

Next, a chip wire bonding related design regarding the LED filament is explained. Fig. 1L is a top view of an LED filament in an unbent state with a top layer removed, the LED filament including a first LED chip unit 202, a second LED chip unit 204, and electrodes 210/212, wherein the first LED chip unit 202 and the second LED chip unit 204 are electrically connected to the electrodes 210/212, respectively. The extending direction of the first LED chip unit 202 is parallel or substantially parallel to the extending direction of the second LED chip unit 204, and the first LED chip unit 202 is connected in parallel with the second LED chip unit 204. The first LED chip unit 202 and the second LED chip unit 204 respectively include a plurality of LED chips 442, and the interval between two adjacent LED chips 442 in the first LED chip unit 202 is equal to the interval between two adjacent LED chips 442 in the second LED chip unit 204. In other embodiments, the spacing between adjacent LED chips 442 in the first LED chip unit 202 may not be equal to the spacing between adjacent LED chips 442 in the second LED chip unit 204.

That is, the LED chips 442 of the first LED chip unit 202 and the LED chips 442 of the second LED chip unit 204 are staggered in the length direction of the LED filament. The LED lamp filament has the advantages that the LED chips with the same number are adopted, and the longer the LED lamp filament is, the larger the interval between two adjacent LED chips is; after the filament is lightened, the more obvious the light spots (or granular feeling) are observed by naked eyes, and the comfort level of the user is seriously affected; in addition, the LED filaments with the same length are more LED chips, the smaller the distance between two adjacent LED chips is, and the heat generated by the adjacent LED chips can affect each other. In order to ensure that the LED filament has excellent light emitting effect and heat dissipation performance, in this embodiment, the first LED chip unit 202 and the second LED chip unit 204 are connected in parallel, the LED chips 442 in the second LED chip unit 204 are located between two adjacent LED chips 442 in the first LED chip unit 202, and the light emitted by the second LED chip unit 204 can supplement the light spot generated by the first LED chip unit 202, so that the light emitting effect of the LED filament is improved, and in addition, compared with the LED filament with the same LED filament length and the same LED chip number, the first LED chip unit 202, The interval between two adjacent LED chips in the second LED chip unit 204 is larger, the heat generated by the adjacent LED chips is not easy to influence each other, and the junction temperature of the LED filaments is reduced.

In another embodiment, the projections of the LED chips 442 in the first LED chip unit 202 and the LED chips 442 in the second LED chip unit 204 in the length direction of the LED filament have overlapping areas. The projection of the LED chip a _m and the LED chip b _n in the length direction of the LED filament has an overlapped area, and the width of the LED filament is narrowed due to the fact that the distance between the LED chip a _m and the LED chip b _n in the width direction of the LED filament is reduced, the width of the LED filament is close to that of a traditional tungsten filament lamp, and the LED filament is more attractive when wound. Specifically, the LED chips a _m and b _n have a plurality of sides, respectively, and in the length direction of the LED filament, a side of the LED chip b _n is located between a side S ₁ of the LED chip a _m and a side S ₂ of the LED chip a _m+1, and in an embodiment, the side S ₁ is opposite to the side S ₂. In one embodiment, in the width direction of the LED filament, the widths of the LED chip a _m and the LED chip b _n are Wa and Wb, respectively, and the width W of the LED filament is not smaller than the sum of Wa and Wb, i.e., W is not smaller than wa+wb.

The LED chips 442 have a plurality of LED chips 442, and the plurality of LED chips 442 are arranged on the LED filament in two rows (i.e. adjacent LED chips 442 are staggered in the width direction of the LED filament), and the two rows of LED chips 442 are respectively arranged along the length direction of the LED filament.

The LED chip 442 closest to the electrode 212 in the length direction of the LED filament is electrically connected to the electrode 210 through the first conductive part 240. The first conductive part 240 may be a wire.

In the present embodiment, the LED chip 442 has a length dimension a along the length direction of the filament, and the ratio of the sum of the lengths a of all the LED chips 442 (i.e. Σa) to the length of the LED filament is greater than 0.5, 0.6, 0.65 or 0.7, so as to ensure the arrangement density of the LED chips 442 along the length direction of the LED filament, thereby improving the total luminous flux and effectively reducing the particle sensation of the emitted light. Moreover, since the adjacent LED chips 442 are staggered in the width direction of the LED filament, the LED filament has better flexibility on the premise of having the same spacing between the LED chips. Conversely, the ratio of the sum of the lengths of all the LED chips 442 to the length of the LED filament is greater than 0.5, 0.6, 0.65 or 0.7, and when the LED chips 442 are arranged in a single row, the bending property of the LED filament may be poor, the bending cannot be performed normally, and the modeling of the filament is limited.

Please refer to fig. 3A to 3E, which are schematic diagrams illustrating an embodiment of a method for manufacturing an LED filament according to the present utility model. The manufacturing method of the LED filament comprises the following steps:

S20: the LED chip units 202, 204 and the conductive electrodes 210, 212 are laid on a carrier 280 (as shown in fig. 3A);

S22A: the top layer 220a is coated on the portion of the LED chip units 202, 204 and the conductive electrodes 210, 212 not contacting the carrier 280, and then the curing (or solidification) process is performed on the LED chip units 202, 204 and the conductive electrodes 210, 212 coated with the top layer 220a, so that the top layer 220a is cured and covers the LED chip units 202, 204 and the conductive electrodes 210, 212 above the carrier, and a portion of at least two conductive electrodes 210, 212 is exposed (as shown in fig. 3B). Such as, but not limited to, heating, or Ultraviolet (UV) radiation;

S22B: there are several ways to turn over the LED chip units 202, 204 and the conductive electrodes 210, 212 coated with the top layer 220a, one way is that the LED chip units 202, 204 and the conductive electrodes 210, 212 are only disposed on the carrier 280, there is no adhesion therebetween, and the turned-over semi-finished product can be directly turned over and then placed on the carrier 280.

Secondly, if a glue-like substance for adhesion, such as a photoresist used in a semiconductor process or a die attach adhesive for easy removal, is provided between the carrier 280 and the LED chip units 202, 204, and the conductive electrodes 210, 212, the glue-like substance has the effect of temporarily fixing the LED chip units 202, 204, and the conductive electrodes 210, 212 on the carrier 280 after being properly baked. Therefore, before or after the LED chip units 202, 204 and the conductive electrodes 210, 212 coated with the top layer 220a are turned over, the photoresist coated on the carrier 280 may be cleaned with acetone, or the die bond adhesive coated on the carrier may be removed with a corresponding solvent, so that the LED chip units 202, 204 and the conductive electrodes 210, 212 coated with the top layer 220a may be separated from the carrier 280. In addition, the photoresist or the die bond adhesive can be further cleaned to remove the residual photoresist or the die bond adhesive.

S24: electrically connecting adjacent LED chip units 202, 204 and LED chip units 202/204 to conductive electrodes 210, 212 (shown in fig. 3C);

s26: after step S24, the base layer 220b is coated on the portions of the LED chip units 202 and 204 and the conductive electrodes 210 and 212 not coated by the top layer 220a, and the coating is cured (as shown in fig. 3D).

After step S26, step S28 may further include cutting the LED chip units 202 and 204 and the conductive electrodes 210 and 212, which encapsulate the light conversion layer 220, at the cutting positions as drawn by the dashed lines in fig. 3E, so that the cut strip-shaped element is the LED filament 300. The cutting method in step S28 is not limited to fig. 3E, and the LED chip units 202 and 204 of each two adjacent columns may be cut into a single LED filament.

In the method for manufacturing the LED filament according to this embodiment, the top layer 220a and the base layer 220b may be made of the same material, and if the top layer 220a and the base layer 220b also contain oxidized nanoparticles, the top layer 220a and the base layer 220b have the same ratio of the fluorescent powder, the silica gel, and the oxidized nanoparticles, in other words, the top layer 220a and the base layer 220b are made of the same material, which is only distinguished into the top layer 220a and the base layer 220b for convenience of description. Of course, in other embodiments, the ratio of phosphor, silica gel, oxidized nanoparticles in the top layer 220a to the base layer 220b may be different.

In one embodiment, the above-mentioned base layer includes a silicone modified polyimide, a thermosetting agent, a heat dissipating particle, and a fluorescent powder, the thermosetting agent is an epoxy resin, an isocyanate or a bisoxazoline compound, and the heat dissipating particle includes silica (SiO ₂), alumina (Al ₂O₃), zirconia (ZrO ₂), and the like. In one embodiment, the thermal curing agent is used in an amount of 3 to 12% by weight of the silicone modified polyimide based on the weight of the silicone modified polyimide. A silicone-modified polyimide comprising a repeating unit represented by the following general formula (i):

In the general formula (I), ar ¹ is a 4-valent organic group. The organic group has a benzene ring or an alicyclic hydrocarbon structure, and the alicyclic hydrocarbon structure may be a monocyclic alicyclic hydrocarbon structure, may have a bridged alicyclic hydrocarbon structure, may be a bicyclic alicyclic hydrocarbon structure, or may be a tricyclic alicyclic hydrocarbon structure. The organic group may be a benzene ring structure or an alicyclic hydrocarbon structure containing an active hydrogen functional group, and the active hydrogen functional group may be any one or more of a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a carboxyl group, an amide group and a thiol group.

Ar ² is a 2-valent organic group which may have, for example, an alicyclic hydrocarbon structure of a monocyclic system, or a 2-valent organic group containing an active hydrogen functional group which is any one or more of a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a carboxyl group, an amide group, and a thiol group.

R is independently selected from methyl or phenyl.

N is 1 to 5, preferably n is 1 or 2 or 3 or 5.

The number average molecular weight of the general formula (I) is 5000 to 100000, preferably 10000 to 60000, more preferably 20000 to 40000. The number average molecular weight is a polystyrene equivalent based on a calibration curve prepared by a Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) apparatus using standard polystyrene. When the number average molecular weight is 5000 or less, it is difficult to obtain good mechanical properties after curing, and particularly, elongation tends to be lowered. On the other hand, when it exceeds 100000, the viscosity becomes too high, making it difficult for the resin to be formed.

Ar ¹ is a component derived from a dianhydride which may contain an aromatic acid anhydride and an aliphatic acid anhydride, and the aromatic acid anhydride includes an aromatic acid anhydride containing only a benzene ring, a fluorinated aromatic acid anhydride, an aromatic acid anhydride containing an amide group, an aromatic acid anhydride containing an ester group, an aromatic acid anhydride containing an ether group, an aromatic acid anhydride containing a sulfur group, an aromatic acid anhydride containing a sulfone group, an aromatic acid anhydride containing a carbonyl group, and the like.

Ar ² is a component derived from diamine, which can be classified into aromatic diamine and aliphatic diamine, and the aromatic diamine includes aromatic diamine having only benzene ring structure, fluorinated aromatic diamine, aromatic diamine having ester group, aromatic diamine having ether group, aromatic diamine having amide group, aromatic diamine having carbonyl group, aromatic diamine having hydroxyl group, aromatic diamine having carboxyl group, aromatic diamine having sulfone group, aromatic diamine having sulfur group, and the like.

The addition of different thermosetting agents has different effects on the light transmittance of the organosilicon modified polyimide.

Even if the same thermosetting agent is added, the light transmittance is affected differently when the amount added is different. Table 1-1 shows that the light transmittance is improved when the added amount of the thermosetting agent BPA of the fully aliphatic silicone-modified polyimide is increased from 4% to 8%. However, when the amount of the additive was increased to 12%, the light transmittance was hardly changed. The light transmittance was shown to be improved as the amount of the thermosetting agent added was increased, but when the amount was increased to a certain extent, the effect of adding a further amount of the thermosetting agent on the light transmittance was rather limited.

TABLE 1-1

A phosphor composition as part of the top layer 420b, comprising a first phosphor, a second phosphor, a third phosphor, and a fourth phosphor, wherein the first phosphor has a peak wavelength of 490-500 nm and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 29-32 nm under blue excitation; the wavelength peak value of the second fluorescent powder is 520-540 nm under the excitation of blue light, and the half-wave width (FWHM) is 110-115 nm; the wavelength peak value of the third fluorescent powder is 660-672 nm under the excitation of blue light, and the half-wave width (FWHM) is 15-18 nm; the wavelength peak value of the fourth fluorescent powder is 600-612 nm under the excitation of blue light, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 72-75 nm or the wavelength peak value is 620-628 nm, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 16-18 nm or the wavelength peak value is 640-650 nm, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 85-90 nm. The center particle diameter (D50) of any one of the first, second, third and fourth phosphors is 15 to 20 μm, the D50 of the second and third phosphors is preferably 15 to 16 μm, and the D50 of the first and fourth phosphors is preferably 16 to 20 μm. When the blue light excites the phosphor, the thickness of the top layer with different concentrations of the same phosphor affects the half-peak bandwidth of the phosphor, and in this embodiment, the thickness of the top layer 420b is 80-100 μm. The weight percentage of each fluorescent powder in the fluorescent powder composition is as follows: the light performance of the blue LED chip with the wavelength peak value of 451nm and the FWHM of 16.3nm and the current of 30mA is measured as shown in the table 1:

TABLE 1

As is clear from the numbers No. 1 to No. 4 in Table 1, the contents of the third phosphor and the fourth phosphor in the blended phosphor composition have an effect on the luminous efficacy (Eff), the average color rendering index (Ra) and the saturated red (R9). As is clear from the numbers No. 1 and 2, when the content of the fourth phosphor having a peak wavelength of 670nm is increased, eff is increased, and Ra and R9 are decreased; when the phosphor having a peak wavelength of 630nm was used instead of the phosphor having a peak wavelength of 652nm, it can be seen from the numbers No.3 and 4 in Table 1 that when the content of the fourth phosphor having a peak wavelength of 670nm was increased, eff was decreased, and Ra and R9 were increased. Therefore, according to actual needs, when the fourth fluorescent powder with different wavelength peaks is selected, the dosage of the third fluorescent powder and the fourth fluorescent powder is blended so as to obtain better luminous performance.

Ratio of phosphor to glue

The same fluorescent powder is selected, the proportion of the fluorescent powder composition and the glue is prepared, as shown in the table 2, as can be seen from the table 2, the proportions of the fluorescent powder composition and the glue are different, and the proportions of Eff, ra, R9 and CCT are different, and the more the fluorescent powder composition occupies the glue, the lower the proportions of Eff, ra and CCT are, and the trend of R9 rising after being lowered is that; in addition, when the fluorescent powder composition is matched with glue (such as silica gel) to be used as the top layer of the LED filament, in the process of manufacturing the top layer, because the specific gravity of the fluorescent powder composition is larger than that of the silica gel, obvious sedimentation of the fluorescent powder can occur, so that the color temperature of the white LED is shifted, when the fluorescent powder occupies a larger amount, the sedimentation of the fluorescent powder is more, and the color temperature is more severely shifted, so that the weight ratio of the fluorescent powder composition to the glue in the top layer is 0.2-0.3:1, and preferably 0.25-0.3:1. In one embodiment, a certain amount of hollow glass beads can be added into the fluorescent powder composition, when the fluorescent powder subsides, the glass beads float upwards, the back scattering/emitting degree of light in the floating process is reduced, and the effect of the fluorescent powder subsides on the light scattering is counteracted, so that the phenomenon of color temperature drift can be relieved, and in addition, the influence of the added glass beads on the initial brightness of the white light LED is smaller due to the fact that the absorption of the glass beads on visible light is smaller. The mass ratio of the glass beads to the fluorescent powder composition is 1:5-15, and the weight ratio of the glass beads to the fluorescent powder composition is 1:10-15.

TABLE 2

In one embodiment, an LED filament is provided, wherein the LED filament is made of the phosphor composition and a blue light chip, the peak wavelength of the blue light chip is 450-500 nm, and the half-peak bandwidth is 15-18 nm.

In some embodiments, the phosphor composition that is part of the top layer 420b includes a first phosphor, a second phosphor, a third phosphor, the first phosphor having a peak wavelength of 500 to 550nm and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 100 to 130nm under blue excitation; the wavelength peak value of the second fluorescent powder is 580-620 nm under the excitation of blue light, and the half-wave width (FWHM) is 70-90 nm; the wavelength peak value of the third fluorescent powder is 620-670 nm under the excitation of blue light, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 70-95 nm. The center particle diameter (D50) of any one of the first phosphor, the second phosphor and the third phosphor is 15 to 20 μm, the D50 of the first phosphor is preferably 15 to 16 μm, and the D50 of the second phosphor and the third phosphor is preferably 16 to 20 μm. When the blue light excites the phosphor, the thickness of the top layer with different concentrations of the same phosphor affects the half-peak bandwidth of the phosphor, and in this embodiment, the thickness of the top layer 420b is 80-100 μm. The dosage of the first fluorescent powder in the fluorescent powder composition is less than or equal to ten times of the sum of the dosages of the second fluorescent powder and the third fluorescent powder, namely, the dosage of the first fluorescent powder is less than or equal to 10 (the dosage of the second fluorescent powder and the dosage of the third fluorescent powder), the weight ratio of the fluorescent powder composition to the glue in the top layer is 0.4-0.8:1, the closer the dosage of the fluorescent powder composition to the dosage of the silica gel, the light conversion efficiency of the LED chip is improved, in addition, the contact area of the fluorescent powder and the LED chip is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of heat generated by the LED chip is improved.

As shown in fig. 1N, in an embodiment, an LED filament is provided, and the basic structure of the LED filament may be the same as that of the previous embodiment, that is, the LED filament includes a light conversion layer 420, an LED chip 442 and an electrode 410, the LED chip 442 is connected through a first wire 440, the LED chip 442 is connected with the electrode 410 through a second wire 450, and the light conversion layer 420 wraps the LED chip 442 and at least a part of the electrode 410. Meanwhile, the basic structure or material composition of the light conversion layer 420 in this embodiment may be the same as that of the previous embodiment. The LED chips 442 in this embodiment constitute the LED segments 402. In this embodiment, the light conversion layer 420 at the junction of the light conversion layer 420 and the electrode 410 forms a junction 460, the junction 460 wraps at least part of the electrode 410, and the junction 460 does not cover (or include) the LED chip 442. In this embodiment, one end of the electrode 410 is exposed to the outside of the bonding portion 460, and the other end thereof is wrapped/covered by the bonding portion 460. The joint 460 extends beyond an end of the electrode 410 in the longitudinal direction of the LED filament, and does not cover any LED chip 442 in the radial projection direction of the LED filament. And the ratio of phosphor and/or heat sink particles of the light conversion layer 420 at the junction 460 is lower than the ratio of phosphor and/or heat sink particles of the light conversion layer 420 at the LED segment 402. By decreasing the proportion of phosphor and/or heat sink particles of the light conversion layer 420 at the bonding portion 460 (with the proportion of silica gel increased), the flexibility thereof can be increased, preventing the bonding portion 460 from cracking due to stress generated by bending the electrode 410 when the bonding portion 460 is bent, otherwise, the cracking at the bonding portion 460 may cause the second conductive wire 450 at the bonding portion 460 to crack.

As shown in fig. 1N, the junction 460 includes a sleeve 470, the sleeve 470 having a phosphor content that is lower than the phosphor content of the light conversion layer 420 at the LED segment 402. By providing the sleeve 470, the overall phosphor ratio of the light conversion layer 420 at the junction 460 may be reduced, i.e., the phosphor content of the region of the light conversion layer 420 covered by the sleeve 470 (which may include the sleeve 470 itself) may be lower than the phosphor content of the light conversion layer 420 at the LED segment 402. In some embodiments, sleeve 470 does not contain phosphor or heat sink particles.

A portion of the sleeve 470 is directly sleeved outside the electrode 410, and another portion is sleeved outside the light conversion layer 420 at the junction 460. The light conversion layer 420 comprised by the sleeve 470 together with the sleeve 470 itself constitutes the joint 460. Structurally, by providing the sleeve 470, the light conversion layer 420 at the coupling portion 460 can also be prevented from cracking. One end of the sleeve 470 exceeds the end of one end of the electrode 410 in the filament length direction. The sleeve 470 can be sleeved at any end or both ends of the LED filament, and is sleeved (covered) on the area of the light conversion layer 420, wherein the proportion of the sleeve 470 in the length direction of the LED filament is less than 10%, that is, the total length of the sleeve 470 covered by the light conversion layer 420 is less than 10% of the total length of the LED filament (excluding the electrode 410), thereby ensuring that the light emitting area and total brightness of the LED filament are not affected by the sleeve 470, and the reinforcing function of the sleeve 470 on the structure of the LED filament can be exerted.

In some embodiments, the sleeve 470 may be made of a transparent or translucent material (i.e., a light transmissive material) to reduce the loss of light as it passes through the sleeve 470. In some embodiments, the color of the sleeve 470 is the same or substantially the same as the color of the light conversion layer 420 to maintain color consistency of the appearance of the filament. The sleeve 470 may be a heat shrink tube, i.e., when the sleeve 470 is sleeved on the electrode 410 and the light conversion layer 420, the sleeve 470 is contracted and included on the electrode 410 and the light conversion layer 420 by heating the sleeve 470. The sleeve 470 may be made of thermoplastic materials, such as PVC, PE, PP, PET, OPP, PVDC, POF, which are all known in the art and will not be described in detail herein.

The aforementioned sleeve 470 is formed by coating the light conversion layer 420 at the bonding portion 460 with glue in some embodiments, when the sleeve 470 is formed with glue, it may not directly cover at least a portion of the surface of the electrode 410 or may directly cover at least a portion of the surface of the electrode 410.

As shown in fig. 1O, in some embodiments, the ratio of the phosphor of the light conversion layer 420 at the bonding portion 460 is lower than that of the light conversion layer 420 of the LED segment 402, and the ratio of the silica gel of the light conversion layer 420 at the bonding portion 460 is higher than that of the light conversion layer 420 of the LED segment 402, so that the light conversion layer 420 at the bonding portion 460 has better flexibility, thereby reducing the risk of cracking.

Referring to fig. 1P, in one embodiment, the electrode 410 has a second portion 4102 surrounded or covered by the light conversion layer 420 and a first portion 4101 exposed outside the light conversion layer 420. Wherein, in the length direction of the LED filament, the bending performance of the second portion 4102 is better than that of the first portion 4101. In other words, when the same force is applied to the first portion 4101 and the second portion 4102, the warpage amplitude of the first portion 4101 is smaller than the warpage amplitude of the second portion 4102. Therefore, the second portion 4102 can have bending performance closer to that of the light conversion layer 420, and the probability of breakage of the light conversion layer 420 due to stress caused by an excessive difference in bending performance between the second portion 4102 and the light conversion layer 420 when the LED filament is bent can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the first portion 4101 and the second portion 4102 have different bending properties due to different structural designs. Specifically, the area per unit length of the second portion 4102 is smaller than the area per unit length of the first portion 4101, so that the second portion 4102 has better bending performance.

The second portion 4102 has a distal end 41021, a bending section 41022, and a connecting section 41023, the distal end 41021, the bending section 41022, and the connecting section 41023 are provided in this order in the length direction of the second portion 4102, and the connecting section 41023 is connected to the first portion 4101. The area of the bending section 41022 per unit length is smaller than the area of the terminal 41021 and the connecting section 41023, so that the main bending portion of the second portion 4102 is the bending section 41022 when the second portion is stressed.

The area of the unit length of the connection section 41023 is larger than the area of the unit length of the connection section 41023 and the end 41021 respectively, so that the end of the light conversion layer 420 and the electrode 410 have larger bonding area, the bonding fastness is improved, and the cracking of the bonding part between the end of the light conversion layer 420 and the electrode 410 is prevented when the LED filament is bent.

As shown in fig. 1P, one or more sets of groove portions 41024 are provided on one or both sides of the bending section 41022 in the width direction to reduce the area per unit length of the bending section 41022 for improving the bending property as a whole. In addition, the bonding strength between the electrode 410 and the light conversion layer 420 can be improved by providing the groove 41024. Specifically, the material of the light conversion layer 420 may pass through the groove 41024, so that the light conversion layers 420 on opposite sides of the electrode 410 are connected by the material of the light conversion layer 420 in the groove 41024 to form a connection similar to riveting.

As shown in fig. 1R, one or more sets of holes 41025 are provided at the bending section 41022 to reduce the area per unit length of the bending section 41022. In addition, by the arrangement of the holes 41025, the bonding strength between the electrode 410 and the light conversion layer 420 can be improved. Specifically, the material of the light conversion layer 420 may pass through the hole 41025 such that the light conversion layer 420 at the front and back sides of the electrode 410 is coupled by the material of the light conversion layer 420 within the hole 41025.

As shown in fig. 1P and 1Q, the end 41021 of the electrode 410 may be provided with a through hole 41026 to enhance the bonding strength of the end 41021 and the light conversion layer 420. The material of the light conversion layer 420 may pass through the through hole 41026, so that the light conversion layer 420 on the front and back sides of the electrode 410 is connected by the material of the light conversion layer 420 in the through hole 41025 to form a connection similar to riveting.

As shown in fig. 1P and 1R, the end of the terminal 41021 of the electrode 410 is provided with a curved surface 41027 to prevent stress concentration due to sharp corners formed at the terminal 41021, forcing the light-converting layer 420 to crack or even break. In some embodiments, the ends of the tip 41021 are configured as spherical surfaces to achieve the same technical effects described above.

In some embodiments, the second portion 4102 is formed of a different material than the first portion 4101, thereby providing the second portion 4102 with superior bending properties than the first portion 4101.

As shown in fig. 1S, in some embodiments, the thickness (average thickness) of the second portion 4102 is less than the thickness (average thickness) of the first portion 4101, thereby providing the second portion 4102 with superior bending properties over the first portion 4101.

As shown in fig. 1T, in an embodiment, an LED filament is provided, and the basic structure of the LED filament may be the same as that of the previous embodiment, that is, the LED filament includes a light conversion layer 420, an LED chip 442 and an electrode 410, the LED chip 442 is connected through a first wire 440, the LED chip 442 is connected with the electrode 410 through a second wire 450, and the light conversion layer 420 wraps the LED chip 442 and at least a part of the electrode 410. Meanwhile, the basic structure or material composition of the light conversion layer 420 in this embodiment may be the same as that of the previous embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the first conductive wire 440 has a first portion 44001, the first portion 44001 is located between two groups of LED chips 442 in the length direction of the LED filament (the first portion 44001 is located between edge tangents of the two groups of LED chips 442 in the width/thickness projection direction of the LED filament). When the LED filament is bent, the area between the LED chips 442 is a main bending area (the portion with the LED chips 442 is not easy to bend), so as to reduce the risk that the first portion 44001 of the first wire 440 is broken when the LED filament is bent, and the length L1 of the first portion 44001 is configured to be greater than the distance D1 between the two groups of LED chips 442. In other words, the length L1 of the first portion 44001 is configured to be greater than the projected length of the first portion 44001 in the width direction of the LED filament, so that the design provides more margin for the first wire 440 when the LED filament bends, and avoids breaking.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length L1 of the first portion 44001 to the distance D1 between the two sets of LED chips 442 (or the projected length of the first portion 44001 in the width direction of the LED filament) is greater than 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4. So that when the LED filament is bent, the first portion 44001 has a length sufficient to deform with the bending to prevent the first portion 44001 from being broken. In some embodiments, is greater than the projected length of the first portion 44001 in the width direction of the LED filament.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length L1 of the first portion 44001 to the distance D1 between the two sets of LED chips 442 (or the projected length of the first portion 44001 in the width direction of the LED filament) is less than 2. If the length of the first portion 44001 is too long, the covering effect of the light conversion layer 420 is not good, and even the first conductive line 44001 is exposed from the light conversion layer 420. In addition, too long of the first portion 44001 also results in material waste.

In some embodiments, the first portion 44001 is configured in an arc shape such that its length L1 is greater than the distance D1 between the two sets of LED chips 442 (the projected length of the first portion 44001 in the width direction of the LED filament).

As shown in fig. 1U, in some embodiments, the first portion 44001 is configured in a wave or spiral shape such that its length is greater than the distance between the two sets of LED chips 442 (the projected length of the first portion 44001 in the width direction of the LED filament).

As shown in fig. 1V, in some embodiments, the first portion 44001 (or the entire first wire 440) is generally "m" shaped from the side view of the LED filament. So that the first portion 44001 of the first lead 440 is longer per unit length with greater cushioning in bending with the LED filament to prevent the first portion 44001 from being broken.

When the LED filament shown in fig. 1T to 1V is bent, one side of the LED chip 442 having the first conductive wire 440 is disposed outside (i.e., toward the outside of the lamp body), and the other side is disposed inside (i.e., toward the inside of the lamp body). As shown in fig. 1T to 1V, the two sides of the LED filament in the length direction are bent downward, so that the side of the LED chip 442 with the first wire is located outside the LED filament (i.e., toward the outside of the lamp body). By the arrangement of the first wires 440 in the embodiment of fig. 1T to 1V, the LED filament has better bending property, and the first wires 440 are ensured not to be broken due to the overlarge bending amplitude of the LED filament. For example, the LED filament may be bent into a shape having a radius of curvature at which the curvature is maximum of less than 10mm, 8mm, or 5 mm. Considering that the maximum curvature of the LED filament after bending is not necessarily an arc, the following expression may be adopted, that is, on the premise that the LED chip 422 is electrically connected through a wire, the maximum inscribed circle radius of the maximum curvature of the LED filament after bending is less than 15mm, 10mm or 8mm. That is, in the case where the LED filament is electrically connected to the LED chip 442 by the first wire 440 in the present embodiment, it is possible that after the LED filament is bent, the maximum inscribed circle radius at the maximum curvature is smaller than 15mm, 10mm or 8mm, and it is ensured that the first wire 440 is not broken. In the prior art, the flexible substrate is used to carry the LED chips and realize the LED filaments electrically connected with the LED chips, so that the flexible substrate has no lead and no risk of breakage of the lead, and therefore, the flexible substrate may have a larger bending amplitude, but the flexible substrate and the LED filaments cannot be obviously compared.

In this embodiment, after the LED filament is bent, the maximum inscribed circle at the maximum curvature of the LED filament should be greater than 3 or 3.5mm, so as to reduce the risk of breaking the first wire 440 with excessive bending amplitude.

In order to ensure the bendable amplitude of the LED filament or further improve the bendable amplitude of the LED filament, the position of the first wire 440 may also be set. When the LED filament is bent as described above (that is, the LED chip 442 is disposed outside on one side thereof with the first lead 440 and inside on the other side thereof), the radius of curvature of the portion of the LED filament that is further outside the bent portion is larger, and the deformation or tensile force generated inside the portion is also larger. Accordingly, the first wire 440 may be provided on the surface 401 in the width (or thickness) direction as far as possible from the LED filament, and the surface 401 is the surface of the LED chip 442 on the side having the first wire 440. Taking fig. 1V as an example, the shortest distance from the first wire 442 to the surface 401 is L, and the width (or thickness) dimension of the LED filament is D, and the ratio of L to D is at least greater than 0.1.

In the present embodiment, the first conductive wire 440 has a second portion 44002, and the second portion 44002 falls completely within the range defined by the LED chip 442 when projected onto the LED chip 442 corresponding thereto in the width direction of the LED filament. One end of the second portion 44002 is connected to the LED chip 442, and the other end thereof is connected to the first portion 44001 (the first portion 44001 and the second portion 44002 may be formed as a unitary structure). In other words, one end of the second portion 44002 is connected to the LED chip 442, and the other end thereof does not protrude beyond the LED chip 442 to which it is mated in the length direction of the LED filament.

In the present embodiment, the length L2 of the second portion 44002 is greater than the distance D2 between the connection point of the second portion 44002 and the LED chip 442 and the end of the LED chip 442 in the length direction (the projection length of the second portion 44002 in the width direction of the LED filament). When the LED filament is bent, the first portion 44001 is bent to pull the second portion 44002, and the above arrangement of the second portion 44002 can make the second portion 44002 have a deformation space to prevent the connection point with the LED chip 442 from being broken due to the tensile force of the first portion 44001.

In the present embodiment, the first conductive wire 440 has two sets of second portions 44002, at least one set of second portions 44002 is configured as described above.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length L2 of the second portion 44002 to the distance D2 of the connection point of the second portion 44002 to the LED chip 442 to the lengthwise end of the LED chip 442 (the projected length of the second portion 44002 in the width direction of the LED filament) is greater than 1.15, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4. To reduce the risk of the second portion 44002 being pulled causing it to break at its connection point with the LED chip 442.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length L2 of the second portion 44002 to the distance D2 of the connection point of the second portion 44002 to the LED chip 442 to the lengthwise end of the LED chip 442 (the projected length of the second portion 44002 in the width direction of the LED filament) is less than 2. If the second portion 44002 is too long, the second portion 44002 tends to have a larger bending amplitude or occupy space in the width direction of the LED filament, which can adversely affect the LED filament (if the bending amplitude is larger, this can result in a larger internal stress in the second portion 44002, while occupying space in the width direction of the LED filament, which would require a thicker light conversion layer to cover, resulting in a thicker LED filament).

In the present embodiment, the ratio of the length L2 of the second portion 44002 to the distance D2 between the connection point of the second portion 44002 and the LED chip 442 and the end of the LED chip 442 in the length direction (the projection length of the second portion 44002 in the width direction of the LED filament) is greater than the ratio of the length L1 of the first portion 44001 to the distance D1 between the two groups of LED chips 442 (or the projection length of the first portion 44001 in the width direction of the LED filament). The formula is as follows:

L2/D2>L1/D1

In general, when the LED filament is bent, the connection point of the second portion 44002 and the LED chip 442 is more easily broken by a tensile force, and thus, by providing L2/D2> L1/D1, the risk of breaking the connection point of the second portion 44002 and the LED chip 442 can be reduced.

In some embodiments, both the first portion 44001 and the second portion 44002 are arcuate, while the second portion 44002 has a radius of curvature that is less than the radius of curvature of the first portion 44001, such that the first portion 44001 and the second portion 44002 satisfy the above formula, i.e., L2/D2> L1/D1.

In other embodiments, the LED filament may be configured such that L1/D1> L2/D2, so that when the LED filament is bent, the first lead (i.e., the first portion) at the area where bending occurs mainly has enough buffer space to make it not easily broken.

In this embodiment, the second conductive line 450 may also be configured as described above. Specifically, the second conductive wire 450 includes a first portion 4501, and the first portion 4501 is located between the LED chip 442 and the electrode 410 in a length direction of the LED filament. When the LED filament is bent, the area between the LED chip 442 and the electrode 410 may be one of bending areas (the area with the LED chip 442 and the electrode 410 is not easy to bend), so as to reduce the risk that the first portion 45001 of the second wire 450 is broken when the LED filament is bent, and the length L3 of the first portion 4501 is configured to be greater than the distance D3 between the LED chip 442 and the electrode 410. In other words, the length L3 of the first portion 4501 is configured to be greater than the projected length of the first portion 4501 in the width direction of the LED filament.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length L3 of the first portion 4501 to the distance D3 between the LED chip 442 and the electrode 410 (or the projected length of the first portion 4501 in the width direction of the LED filament) is greater than 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4. So that when the LED filament is bent, the first portion 4501 has a length sufficient to deform with the bending to prevent the first portion 4501 from being broken.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length L3 of the first portion 4501 to the distance D3 between the LED chip 442 and the electrode 410 (or the projected length of the first portion 4501 in the width direction of the LED filament) is less than 2. If the length of the first portion 4501 is too long, the covering effect of the light-converting layer 420 is not good, and even the first conductive line 4501 is exposed to the light-converting layer 420. In addition, too long first portion 4501 also results in material waste.

In some embodiments, the first portion 4501 is configured in an arc shape such that its length L3 is greater than the distance D3 between the LED chip 442 and the electrode 410 (the projected length of the first portion 44001 in the width direction of the LED filament).

As shown in fig. 1U, in some embodiments, the first portion 4501 is configured to undulate such that its length is greater than the distance between the LED chip 442 and the electrode 410 (the projected length of the first portion 44001 in the width direction of the LED filament).

In the present embodiment, the second conductive wire 450 has a second portion 4502, and the second portion 4502 falls completely within the range defined by the LED chip 442 when projected onto the LED chip 442 matching therewith in the width direction of the LED filament. One end of the second portion 4502 is connected to the LED chip 442, and the other end thereof is connected to the first portion 4501 (the first portion 4501 and the second portion 4502 may be formed as a unitary structure). In other words, one end of the second portion 4502 is connected to the LED chip 442, and the other end thereof does not protrude beyond the LED chip 442 mated therewith in the length direction of the LED filament.

In the present embodiment, the length L4 of the second portion 4502 is greater than the distance D4 from the connection point of the second portion 4502 and the LED chip 442 to the end of the LED chip 442 in the length direction (the projection length of the second portion 4502 in the width direction of the LED filament). When the LED filament is bent, the first portion 4501 will pull the second portion 4502 after being bent, and the above arrangement of the second portion 4502 can make the second portion 4502 have a deformation space, so as to prevent the connection point with the LED chip 442 from being broken due to the pulling force of the first portion 4501.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length L4 of the second portion 4502 to the distance D4 of the connection point of the second portion 4502 to the LED chip 442 to the end of the length direction of the LED chip 442 (the projected length of the second portion 4502 in the width direction of the LED filament) is greater than 1.15, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4. To reduce the risk of the second portion 4502 being pulled causing it to break at its connection point with the LED chip 442.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length L4 of the second portion 4502 to the distance D4 of the connection point of the second portion 4502 to the LED chip 442 to the end of the length direction of the LED chip 442 (the projected length of the second portion 4502 in the width direction of the LED filament) is less than 2. If the second portion 4502 is too long, the second portion 4502 tends to have a larger bending width or occupy space in the width direction of the LED filament, which may adversely affect the LED filament (if the bending width is larger, this may result in larger internal stress in the second portion 4502, while occupying space in the width direction of the LED filament, which may require a thicker light conversion layer to cover, resulting in thickening of the LED filament).

In the present embodiment, the ratio of the length L4 of the second portion 4502 to the distance D4 between the connection point of the second portion 4502 and the LED chip 442 and the end of the LED chip 442 in the length direction (the projected length of the second portion 4502 in the width direction of the LED filament) is greater than the ratio of the length L3 of the first portion 4501 to the distance D3 between the LED chip 442 and the electrode 410 (or the projected length of the first portion 4501 in the width direction of the LED filament). The formula is as follows:

L4/D4>L3/D3

In general, when the LED filament is bent, the connection point of the second portion 4502 and the LED chip 442 is more easily broken by a tensile force, and thus, by providing L4/D4> L3/D3, the risk of breakage of the connection point of the second portion 4502 and the LED chip 442 can be reduced.

In some embodiments, both the first portion 4501 and the second portion 4502 are arcuate, and the radius of curvature of the second portion 4502 is less than the radius of curvature of the first portion 4501, such that the first portion 4501 and the second portion 4502 satisfy the above formula, i.e., L4/D4> L3/D3.

In some embodiments, the second wire 450 has a third portion 4503, and the third portion 4503 falls entirely within the confines of the electrode 410 when projected in the width direction of the LED filament to the mating electrode 410. One end of the third portion 4503 is connected to the electrode 410, and the other end thereof is connected to the first portion 4501 (the first portion 4501 and the third portion 4503 may be formed as a unitary structure). In other words, one end of the third portion 4503 is connected to the electrode 410, and the other end thereof does not protrude beyond the electrode 410 to which it is fitted in the length direction of the LED filament.

In the present embodiment, the length L5 of the third portion 4503 is greater than the distance D5 from the connection point of the third portion 4502 and the electrode 410 to the end in the length direction of the electrode 410 (the projection length of the third portion 4503 in the width direction of the LED filament). When the LED filament is bent, the third portion 4503 is pulled after the first portion 4501 is bent, and the above arrangement of the third portion 4503 can make the third portion 4503 have a deformation space, so as to prevent the connection point between the third portion 4503 and the electrode 410 from being broken due to the pulling force of the first portion 4501.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length L5 of the third portion 4502 to the distance D5 of the connection point of the third portion 4503 to the electrode 410 to the end of the length direction of the electrode 410 (the projected length of the third portion 4503 in the width direction of the LED filament) is greater than 1.15, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4. To reduce the risk of the third portion 4503 being pulled causing breakage of its connection point to the electrode.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length L5 of the third portion 4503 to the distance D5 of the connection point of the third portion 4503 to the electrode 410 to the end of the length direction of the electrode 410 (the projected length of the third portion 4503 in the width direction of the LED filament) is less than 2. If the third portion 4503 is too long, the third portion 4503 tends to have a larger bending width or occupy space in the width direction of the LED filament, which may adversely affect the LED filament (if the bending width is larger, this may result in larger internal stress in the third portion 4503, and occupy space in the width direction of the LED filament, which may require a thicker light conversion layer to cover, resulting in thickening of the LED filament).

Referring to fig. 4A and fig. 4B to fig. 4D, fig. 4A is a schematic diagram of an LED bulb 40h according to an embodiment of the application, and fig. 4B to fig. 4D are a side view, another side view and a top view of the LED bulb 40h of fig. 4A, respectively. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4A to 4D, the LED bulb lamp includes a lamp housing 12, a lamp cap 16 connected to the lamp housing 12, at least two conductive brackets disposed in the lamp housing 12, a cantilever (not shown), a stem 19 and a single LED filament 100. The stem 19 comprises opposite stem bottom and stem top, the stem bottom being connected to the lamp cap 16, the stem top extending into the interior of the lamp envelope 12, e.g. the stem top may be located at a position about the center inside the lamp envelope 12. The conductive holder is connected to the stem 19. The LED filament 100 includes a filament body and two filament electrodes (or electrodes or conductive electrodes) 110, 112, wherein the two filament electrodes 110, 112 are located at opposite ends of the filament body, and the filament body is the other part of the LED filament 100 excluding the filament electrodes 110, 112. The two filament electrodes 110, 112 are connected to two conductive brackets, respectively. One end of the cantilever is connected to the stem 19 and the other end is connected to the filament body.

In the conventional bulb lamp manufacturing process, in order to avoid oxidation fracture failure caused by burning tungsten wires in air, a horn stem glass structure is designed to be sleeved at an opening of a glass lamp housing for sintering and sealing, then the port of the horn stem is connected with a vacuum pump to pump air in the lamp housing into nitrogen, so that the tungsten wires in the lamp housing are prevented from being burnt and oxidized, and finally the port of the horn stem is sintered and sealed. Therefore, the vacuum pump can pump and replace the air in the lamp housing into full nitrogen or the combination of nitrogen and helium in a proper proportion through the stem, so that the heat conductivity of the air in the lamp housing is improved, and meanwhile, the water mist hidden in the air is removed. In one embodiment, the LED bulb lamp can be replaced by nitrogen and oxygen or a moderate proportion combination of nitrogen and air, the content of oxygen or air is 1-10%, preferably 1-5% of the volume of the lamp housing, when saturated hydrocarbon is contained in the base layer, the saturated hydrocarbon can generate free radicals under the actions of light, heat, stress and the like in the use process of the LED bulb lamp, the generated free radicals or activated molecules are combined with oxygen to form peroxide free radicals, and oxygen is filled into the lamp housing, so that the heat resistance and the light resistance of the base layer containing the saturated hydrocarbon can be improved.

In the process of manufacturing the LED bulb, in order to increase the refractive index of the lamp housing 12 to the light emitted from the LED filament, some foreign matters, such as rosin, may be attached to the inner wall of the lamp housing 12. The average thickness of the foreign matter deposit per square centimeter of the inner wall area of the lamp housing 12 is 0.01 to 2mm, and the thickness of the foreign matter is preferably 0.01 to 0.5mm. In one embodiment, the content of the foreign matter per square centimeter of the inner wall area of the lamp housing 12 is 1% to 30%, preferably 1% to 10% of the content of the foreign matter on the entire inner wall of the lamp housing 12.

In one embodiment, the ratio of length L1, length L2, and length L3 is 0.8:1:0.9. In one embodiment, the ratio of the length L1, the length L2 and the length L3 is (0.5 to 0.9): 1 (0.6 to 1), the ratio of the length L1, the length L2 and the length L3 is close to 1:1:1, the luminous effect of the LED bulb lamp is better, and the full ambient light is realized. The LED filament 100 has at least one first bending point and at least two second bending points when bending, the first bending points and the second bending points are arranged at intervals, the height of any first bending point on the Z axis is greater than that of any second bending point, in one embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent first bending points on the Y axis or the X axis is equal, and the appearance of the LED filament is neat and beautiful. In an embodiment, the distance between two adjacent first bending points on the Y axis or the X axis has a maximum value D1 and a minimum value D2, and the range of D2 is 0.5D1 to 0.9D1, so that the luminous flux distribution on each plane is more uniform. Let the diameter of the lamp cap 16 be R1 (see fig. 4B), the maximum diameter of the lamp envelope 12 or the maximum horizontal distance of the lamp envelope 12 in the YZ plane be R2 (see fig. 4B), the maximum width of the LED filament 100 in the Y axis direction on the YZ plane (see fig. 4B) or the maximum width in the X axis direction on the XZ plane be R3 (see fig. 4C), R3 is between R1 and R2, that is, R1 < R3 < R2, when the LED filament is bent, the distance between the adjacent first bending points and/or the adjacent second bending points in the Z axis direction is wider, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation effect of the LED filament.

By the arrangement of the conductor segments 130, the LED filament 100 is bent with a small radius of gyration in a limited space. In an embodiment, the bending points of the LED segments 102 and 104 are at the same height in the Z direction, and the LED bulb emits light more uniformly because the LED filaments have a certain symmetry.

The LED bulb lamp shown in fig. 8C is different from the bulb lamp shown in fig. 4 in that: in the Z-axis direction, the height of the pole 19a is greater than the distance between the pole bottom and the conductor segment 130, and the pole 19a includes opposite pole bottoms and pole tops, the pole bottoms being adjacent to the inflation tube. As shown in fig. 8D, on the XY plane, the central angle range corresponding to the arc where at least two bending points of the LED filament are located is 170 ° to 220 °, so that the bending points of the LED segment have a suitable distance therebetween, and the heat dissipation effect of the LED filament is ensured. At least one cantilever 15 is located at the inflection point of the LED filament 100, for example at the inflection point of the LED segments 102/104. Each cantilever 15 has an intersection with the LED filament 100.

In an embodiment, at least one intersection point is connected with the bending point of the conductor segment 130 to form a straight line La, the intersection point located on the straight line La forms a straight line Lb with the electrode 110/112 of the LED filament, and the included angle α between the straight line La and the straight line Lb is in a range of 0 ° < α < 90 °, preferably 0 ° < α < 60 °, so that the LED segment has a proper interval after bending, and has better light emitting effect and heat dissipation effect. The bending point of the LED segment has a radius of curvature, for example, the bending point of the LED segment 102 has a radius of curvature r3, the bending point of the LED segment 104 has a radius of curvature r4, r3 is equal to r4, light is uniformly emitted on each plane, and r3 is larger than r4 or r3 is smaller than r4, so as to meet the lighting requirement and/or the heat dissipation requirement in certain specific directions.

In an embodiment, the LED filament includes a top layer and a carrier layer, and when the LED filament is bent, on any section of the LED filament in a height direction or on a section of a central axis (or an optical axis) of the LED chip, the carrier layer is closer to the lamp housing than the top layer, that is, a shortest distance from the carrier layer to the lamp housing is smaller than a shortest distance from the top layer to the lamp housing. In some embodiments, the LED filament has a inflection point (or inflection region) when it is bent, at which point the radius of curvature of the carrier layer is greater than the radius of curvature of the top layer. In some embodiments, when the LED filament is bent, in any height direction section of the LED filament, or in a section of a central axis (or optical axis) of the LED chip, the top layer is closer to the central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb than the bearing layer, and the distance from the top layer to the central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb is smaller than the distance from the bearing layer to the central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb. In some embodiments, the LED filament has a inflection point (or inflection region) when it is bent, at which the light emitting surface of the LED chip faces the central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb. Through the design, when any LED filament in the LED bulb lamp is bent, the lead in the LED filament is subjected to small bending stress and is not easy to break. The LED segments 102/104 comprise a first segment formed by the electrodes 110/112 extending upward (in the direction of the lamp envelope top) to the inflection point and a second segment formed by the inflection point extending downward (in the direction of the lamp base) to the conductor segment 130 connecting the two LED segments 102, 104, the first segment and the second segment having opposite first and second distances to the lamp envelope 12, respectively, the first distance being less than the second distance, in the direction of the first distance, the base layer 420b of the LED filament being closer to the lamp envelope 12 and the top layer 420a of the LED filament being farther from the lamp envelope 12. For example, in fig. 8B, the first segment of the LED segment 104 has a first distance D1 and a second distance D2 opposite to each other, the first distance D1 is smaller than the second distance D2, in the direction of the first distance D1, the base layer 420B of the LED filament is close to the lamp envelope 12, and the top layer 420a of the LED filament is far from the lamp envelope 12.

In some embodiments, when the distance from the stem 19 to the plane a is greater than the height of the upright 19a, the stem 19 includes a stem bottom and a stem top opposite to each other, the stem bottom is connected to the lamp cap 16, the stem top extends toward the top of the lamp housing, the length of the LED filament between the stem top and the top of the lamp housing is greater than the length of the LED filament between the stem top and the bottom of the lamp housing, and the majority of the LED filament is located between the stem top and the bottom of the lamp housing due to the large volume of gas contained between the stem top and the bottom of the lamp housing, thereby facilitating heat dissipation of the LED filament.

Referring to fig. 11A to 11B, a support unit is disposed on the stem 19, the support unit is perpendicular to the stem 19 (or the central axis of the LED bulb), the support unit extends toward the top of the lamp housing 12 along the central axis of the LED bulb, a plurality of support portions 15 are disposed on the support unit, a second opening 151 is disposed on the support portion 15, the height of the LED filament 100 is smaller than the width of the LED filament 100, the LED filament 100 can enter the support portion 15 through the second opening 151 in an inclined manner, and the LED filament 100 is prevented from falling out of the support portion 15 due to the minimum distance between the second opening 151 and the width of the LED filament 100, thereby fixing the shape of the LED filament 100.

Referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic view illustrating an emergent light spectrum of an LED bulb according to an embodiment of the application. In this embodiment, the LED bulb lamp may be any one of the LED bulbs disclosed in the previous embodiments, and any one of the single LED filaments disclosed in the previous embodiments is disposed in the LED bulb lamp. The light emitted from the LED bulb lamp was measured via a spectrometer to obtain a spectral diagram as shown in fig. 12. From the spectral diagram, it can be seen that the spectrum of the LED bulb is mainly distributed between 400nm and 800nm, and three peaks P1, P2, P3 appear at three places in this range. Peak P1 is between about 430nm and 480nm, peak P2 is between about 580nm and 620nm, and peak P3 is between about 680nm and 750 nm. In intensity, the intensity of peak P1 is less than the intensity of peak P2, and the intensity of peak P2 is less than the intensity of peak P3. As shown in fig. 12, such a spectral distribution approximates that of a conventional incandescent filament lamp, as well as that of natural light. In one embodiment, the light-emitting spectrum of a single LED filament is shown in fig. 13, and it can be seen from the spectrum diagram that the spectrum of the LED bulb is mainly distributed between 400nm and 800nm, and three peaks P1, P2, and P3 appear at three positions in the range. Peak P1 is between about 430nm and about 480nm, peak P2 is between about 480nm and about 530nm, and peak P3 is between about 630nm and about 680 nm. In intensity, the intensity of peak P1 is less than the intensity of peak P2, and the intensity of peak P2 is less than the intensity of peak P3. As shown in fig. 13, such a spectral distribution approximates that of a conventional incandescent filament lamp, as well as that of natural light.

Referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a light emission spectrum of an LED bulb according to an embodiment of the application, and it can be seen that the LED bulb has three peaks P1', P2', P3', P1' with wavelengths between 400nm and 800nm, a peak P2' with wavelengths between 430nm and 480nm, a peak P2' with wavelengths between 480nm and 530nm, and a peak P3' with wavelengths between 630nm and 680 nm. In intensity, the peak value P1' has an intensity less than the peak value P2', and the peak value P2 has an intensity less than the peak value P3 '. The difference is that the intensity of P1 'is greater than P1 and the half-wave peak width of P3' is greater than P3. The LED bulb lamp has an average color rendering index Ra (R1-R8) of greater than 95, a saturated red color (R9) of greater than or equal to 90, and a luminous efficacy (Eff) of the LED filament of greater than or equal to 100lm/w.

Fig. 17-20 are graphs showing light distribution of LED bulb lamps of different embodiments. Referring to fig. 15, it can be seen that the light emitted by the LED bulb is approximately symmetrically distributed around the optical axis L, and the light emitted by the LED bulb after being lighted has a butterfly-shaped light distribution curve with a wider light distribution. If the lamp cap is up and the lamp housing is down (as shown in fig. 1 6), the downward direction is defined as 0 degree, the curve L1 is the light intensity distribution curve of the section (C0/180) at 0 degree and 180 degree, the curve L2 is the light intensity distribution curve of the section (C90/270) at 90 degree and 270 degree, C0/180 and C90/270 are symmetrical about the central axis of the LED bulb respectively, and the LED bulb is symmetrical in the light distribution of the section at 0 degree and 180 degree or/and the light distribution of the section at 90 degree and 270 degree. When the LED bulb lamp is lighted, the lengths of filaments on two tangent planes or the number of LED chips are different in different angle ranges, so that the luminous intensity on the curve L1 in some angle ranges is larger than the luminous intensity on the curve L2, and the luminous intensity on the curve L1 in other angle ranges is smaller than the luminous intensity on the curve L2, and therefore the curve L1 and the curve L2 are partially overlapped, namely at least one point on the curve L1 is positioned on the curve L2.

Specifically, in the sections of 0 degrees and 180 degrees, 90 degrees and 270 degrees, the luminous intensity of the curve L1 is greater than the luminous intensity of the curve L2 (i.e., the curve L1 is located at the periphery of the curve L2) in a certain angle range, and in this angle range, the length of the LED filament corresponding to the curve L1 is greater than the length of the LED filament corresponding to the curve L2, or the number of the LED chips corresponding to the curve L1 is greater than the number of the LED chips corresponding to the curve L2. Such as in the range of 100 degrees to 130 degrees in fig. 17, 30 degrees to 80 degrees in fig. 18, 30 degrees to 160 degrees in fig. 19, and 70 degrees to 80 degrees in fig. 20.

On a plane taking the central axis of the LED bulb lamp as a symmetry axis, a part of top layer of the LED filament faces outwards, a part of bearing layer faces outwards, and on the section of the central axis (or optical axis) of the LED chip, the shortest distance from the bearing layer to the lamp housing is smaller than the shortest distance from the top layer to the lamp housing; the shortest distance from the top layer to the lamp housing is smaller than the shortest distance from the bearing layer to the lamp housing. The light emitted by the LED filaments is partially emitted from the top layer, the light flux of the light emitted by the top layer is larger than the light flux of the light emitted by the bearing layer, a plane (such as a YZ plane) taking the central axis of the LED bulb lamp as a symmetry axis has light emitted by the top layer and light emitted by the base layer, and if some of the planes only emit light from the top layer or light emitted by the base layer, the LED bulb lamp light is unevenly distributed and the light emitting effect of the LED bulb lamp is affected.

In an embodiment, when any one of the LED filaments is bent, at least two LED chips in one LED filament have different light emitting directions, if more than two LED filaments are present in the LED bulb, the light emitting direction of at least one LED chip in one LED filament is different from the light emitting direction of at least one LED chip in another LED filament, the light emitting directions of the LED chips will affect the light flux in different angular ranges of the LED bulb, the light emitting directions of a plurality of LED chips in the LED filament are different, and light will be emitted in a plurality of angular ranges of the LED bulb, so as to prevent dark areas in some angular ranges of the LED bulb, for example, in fig. 14 to 17, the LED bulb has no light except near the lamp cap, and other areas have light emission.

In one embodiment, some LED bulb lamps have a relatively low luminous flux distribution in the range of 0 degrees to 30 degrees, for example, the total luminous flux in the range of 0 degrees to 30 degrees is 3% to 20% of the luminous flux of the LED bulb lamp, and when the LED filaments in the LED bulb lamps are bent around the central axis of the LED bulb lamp, the LED filaments are far away from the central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb lamp, so that the central axis region of the LED bulb lamp emits less light. In some embodiments, the distances from different regions of the LED filament to the central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb lamp are different, a portion of the LED filament is near the central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb lamp, a portion of the LED filament is far from the central axis of the LED bulb lamp, further, a portion of the LED chip is near the central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb lamp, and a portion of the LED chip is far from the central axis of the LED bulb lamp. If a part of the LED filaments is relatively close to the central axis of the LED bulb lamp, the distance from the part of the LED filaments (top layer or bearing layer) to the central axis (or core column) of the LED bulb lamp is 2-15mm, or the length of the cantilever is 2-15mm. On the one hand, the heat generated by the LED filament is not easy to accumulate; on the other hand, the luminous flux of the LED bulb lamp in the light emergent direction is increased, so that the output light of the LED bulb lamp is uniformly distributed in space.

In some embodiments, at least a portion of the LED filament intersects the central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb, for example, the portion of the LED filament passes through the top of the stem and the distance from the portion of the LED filament to the stem is about 0 (0-5 mm), or the LED filament and the stem are considered as a line, respectively, intersecting or intersecting the central axis of the LED bulb, or the like. The LED filaments increase the luminous flux of the central axis area of the LED bulb lamp, the luminous flux in the range of 0-30 degrees is 20-50% of the total luminous flux of the LED bulb lamp, and the dark area is prevented from being formed in the light emergent direction of the central axis of the LED bulb lamp. Further, at least one or more LED chips are included in a portion of the LED filament intersecting the central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb lamp to increase the luminous flux of the central axis region of the LED bulb lamp.

In some embodiments, the LED filaments in the LED bulb lamp are symmetrical about a central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb lamp, at least in one plane (e.g., XY plane, YZ plane, or YZ plane). Further, at least in one plane, the length of the LED filament is symmetrical about a central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb. Still further, the number of LED chips in the LED filament is symmetrical about a central axis (or stem) of the LED bulb on at least one plane. When the LED filaments are symmetrically distributed, the light intensity distribution of the LED bulb lamp on the tangential planes of 0 degrees and 180 degrees and the tangential planes of 90 degrees and 270 degrees is uniform, the area enclosed by the curve L1 and the curve L2 is approximately the same, for example, as shown in fig. 17-1 8, the light distribution of the LED bulb lamp is uniform.

The beam angle of the LED bulb lamp at the tangential planes of 0 degrees and 180 degrees is alpha, the beam angle of the LED bulb lamp at the tangential planes of 90 degrees and 270 degrees is beta, the absolute value of the difference value of alpha and beta is smaller than 50 degrees, because if the difference value of alpha and beta is larger, the positions of the LED bulb lamp with the maximum light intensity on the two tangential planes are far away, the light and shade layers of the light are obvious, the light emitting uniformity of the LED bulb lamp is poor, further, the absolute value of the difference value of alpha and beta is smaller than 30 degrees, the LED bulb lamp has excellent light emitting uniformity, further, the absolute value of the difference value of alpha and beta is smaller than 10 degrees, and the light distribution of the LED bulb lamp is uniform. The beam angle may be defined by the International Commission on illumination (CIE Europe) or by the International Commission on illumination (IES USA). Specifically, if the average beam angle (average of α and β) of the LED bulb lamp is greater than 100 ° as specified by the international society of illumination (IES united states), the light distribution is broad. In this embodiment, the beam angle of the LED bulb is defined as the two-sided angle at 50% of the normal light intensity.

The distance between the highest point and the lowest point of the LED filament in the LED bulb lamp accounts for 50% -80% of the height of the lamp shell (the distance from the joint of the lamp shell and the lamp cap to the top of the lamp shell), most of the area of the lamp shell is light-transmitting, and the light distribution is wider. If the LED bulb lamp comprises a plurality of LED filaments, the highest point and the lowest point of the LED filaments are the highest point and the lowest point of any one LED filament.

Fig. 24 is a circuit diagram of a constant current circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to the general habit of the circuit diagram, optional parameters of each element are marked in the diagram, and the unit is an international standard measurement unit. In the following description, the first resistor R1 is referred to as R1 for brevity, and other elements are also similar.

According to the circuit shown in fig. 24, after power-up, the voltage at point a is the divided voltage of R4 on R3 and R4, so the current between the drain and source of M1 rises, vbe is made large enough to turn on Q1 and the voltage at point a is pulled down, resulting in a decrease in the current between the drain and source of M1. Since R1 is small, vbe cannot reach the on-voltage of Q1, and Q1 is turned off. The point a voltage is restored to the divided voltage of R4 over R3 and R4 when Q1 is turned off, so that the current between the drain and source of M1 again rises, and then the above process is repeated, eventually keeping M1 on, and the current IR1 flowing through R1 remains approximately equal to the ratio of Vbe to R1. It can be seen that this achieves a constant current across the load D5.

The circuit shown in fig. 22 is basically the same as that of fig. 24 except that the PTC resistor of the PTC thermistor shown in fig. 22 is included. The voltages at some points and the currents at some branches are indicated. Current iptc= (Vin-Vbe)/PTC flowing through PTC. Since the current at the base of input Q1 is almost zero, iptc=ir2, and ir2= (Vbe-VB)/R2, where VB represents the voltage at point B, and hence (Vin-Vbe)/ptc= (Vbe-VB)/R2, where PTC represents the resistance of the PTC resistor. From this equation, vb=vbe- (Vin-Vbe) R2/PTC is derived. As can be seen from fig. 22, vb=id5×r1,

There is thus id5×r1=vbe- (Vin-Vbe) R2/PTC, thus yielding equation 1:

ID5＝Vbe/R1-[(Vin-Vbe)×R2]/(PTC×R1)。

As can be seen from equation 1, the load current ID5 is also affected by the resistance of the PTC. Due to the physical properties of the transistor, the voltage Vbe at the base of the transistor will decrease when the temperature increases, and it can be seen from equation 1 that decreasing Vbe will decrease ID5, i.e. the load current will decrease, affecting the lighting of the lamp. On the other hand, PTC increases when the temperature increases, and it can be seen from equation 1 that ID5 increases when PTC increases, thereby helping to cancel the fluctuation of the load current caused by the decrease in Vbe.

According to formula 1, if the PTC resistor is replaced by a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, ID5 is increased when the temperature is reduced, and the low-temperature protection function of the lamp is realized. It can be further seen from equation 1 that R1 directly affects ID5, i.e., R1 directly affects the brightness of the lamp. The setting of the load current magnitude can be achieved by selecting the value of R1 without the supply voltage changing.

According to the circuits shown in fig. 24 and 22, M1 is used as a main switching element, the current of which is influenced by a negative feedback loop formed by R1, R2, Q1, and Q1 is used as a sub switching element, and is turned on or off by the current of M1, so that the on current of M1 is maintained at a fixed level, thereby realizing a constant current circuit to a load. Fig. 24 and 22 are only examples, and other circuit topologies are also possible, such as fig. 23, and fig. 23 is a circuit diagram of a third constant current circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to the circuit shown in fig. 23, in a preferred manner, i.e. with the addition of PTC1 (which may also be an NTC resistor), the M1 on-current rises after power-up, so that Q3 is turned on, and the Q3 on-current in turn drops the M1 on-current, similarly to the negative feedback of fig. 24 and 22, so that M1 maintains a constant on-current state, so that the current flowing through the load D1 is constant.

In the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, other types of switching devices can be adopted for each switching element. The power supply may be a rectifying circuit in addition to a dc voltage source, so that an external ac input (typically mains) may be converted into dc. In addition, the fourth resistor R4 can be connected with a capacitor in parallel, so that the voltage at the point A is gradually increased when the power is on, and the function of delaying the start-up is realized.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the current flowing through the main switching element is constant by adopting the main switching element and the negative feedback circuit, so that the constant current circuit is realized. This approach allows for constant current circuits with fewer discrete components and does not involve the problem of electromagnetic compatibility. In a specific circuit structure, PTC or NTC may also be used to improve the temperature drift phenomenon. When the constant current circuit is applied to a lamp, the occupied volume is small, and the light emission is stable.

Referring to fig. 24, a circuit block diagram of an LED lamp according to an embodiment of the application is shown. In the present embodiment, the LED lamp includes a constant current drive circuit 10a, a shunt circuit 20a, and an LED module 30a. The constant current driving circuit 10a is a constant current source, and supplies a constant current. The LED module 30a includes an LED assembly 31a and an LED assembly 32a. The LED assemblies 31a, 32a are electrically connected to the shunt circuit 20a. The shunt circuit 20a is configured to receive a constant current of the constant current driving circuit 10a and distribute the current to the LED assembly 31a and the LED assembly 32a. In this embodiment, the LED assembly is a light emitting diode or a plurality of light emitting diodes connected in series.

In some embodiments, the LED assembly 31a and the LED assembly 32a are configured to have different color temperatures, and adjusting the current flowing through the LED assembly 31a and the LED assembly 32a can adjust the brightness of the LED assemblies 31a and 32a, and adjusting the color temperature can be achieved by adjusting the brightness ratio of the LED assembly 31a and the LED assembly 32 a.

In some embodiments, LED assembly 31a and LED assembly 32a are configured to be different colors.

In some embodiments, the number of light emitting diodes included in LED assemblies 31a and 32a are different.

By the configuration mode of the embodiment, the control of at least two paths of LED components can be realized by only one constant current driving circuit, and the function of adjusting color temperature or color is realized. Especially when the LED assemblies comprise different numbers of light emitting diodes, current regulation of different LED assemblies can still be achieved.

Fig. 25A is a schematic circuit diagram of an LED lamp according to an embodiment of the application. In this embodiment, the constant current driving circuit 10a includes a constant current source A1, the LED assembly 31a includes an assembly D1, the LED assembly 32a includes an LED assembly D2, and the shunt circuit 20a includes a transistor Q1, and resistors R1 and R2. The anode of the LED assembly D1 is electrically connected to the anode of the LED assembly D2 and to the first output terminal of the constant current source A1. The cathode of the LED component D1 is electrically connected to the collector of the triode Q1, the emitter of the triode Q1 is electrically connected to the common ground, the base of the triode Q1 is electrically connected to the first pin of the resistor R2, and the second pin of the resistor R2 is electrically connected to the first pin of the resistor R1 and the cathode of the LED component D2. The second pin of the resistor R1 is electrically connected to the common ground. The second output terminal of the constant current source A1 is electrically connected to the common ground terminal.

In this embodiment, the LED assemblies D1 and D2 include one light emitting diode or a plurality of light emitting diodes (i.e., LED chips in the foregoing embodiments) connected in series.

The principle of operation of the shunt circuit 20a is explained below. In this embodiment, the constant current source A1 provides a constant current I1, and the current flowing through the LED assembly D1 is ID1, and the current flowing through the LED assembly D2 is ID2 after being split by the splitting circuit 20 a. The current flowing through the resistor R1 is IR1, and the current flowing through the resistor R2 is IR2. The voltage of the base electrode of the triode Q1 is Vbe, and the current of the emitter electrode of the triode Q1 is IQ1. The current satisfies the following relationship:

I1＝ID1+ID2

ID2＝IR1+IR2

IQ1＝ID1+IR2

In this embodiment, since the current of IR2 is small and negligible, it is therefore

ID2≈IR1

IQ1≈ID1

IR1≈Vbe/R1

When ID2 tends to increase, VR1 increases and IR2 increases, and according to the amplification principle of the transistor, ID1 increases because ID1 and ID2 are added to a constant value I1, and when ID1 increases, ID2 decreases. Therefore, when the ID2 tends to increase, the increase trend of the ID2 is restrained by the adjusting action of the shunt circuit 20a, so that the ID2 tends to a stable value; similarly, when ID2 tends to decrease, VR1 decreases, IR2 decreases, and ID1 decreases according to the amplification principle of the transistor, since id1+id2=i1, when ID1 decreases, ID2 increases. Therefore, when ID2 tends to decrease, the decrease of ID2 is suppressed by the regulation action of the shunt circuit 20a, so that ID2 tends to a stable value.

ID2≈Vbe/R1

ID1＝I1-ID2

In this embodiment, vbe is a constant value, about 0.7V. The current ID1 and the current ID2 can be adjusted by adjusting the resistor R1, so that the purpose of adjusting the brightness of the LED components D1 and D2 is realized.

In some embodiments, the number of light emitting diodes contained in LED assembly D1 is less than or equal to the number of light emitting diodes contained in LED assembly D2.

In some embodiments, the LED assemblies D1 and D2 are configured to be different colors or color temperatures.

In some embodiments, the transistor Q1 may be replaced by a field effect transistor, which does not affect the technical effect of the present application.

Fig. 25B is a schematic circuit diagram of an LED lamp according to another embodiment of the present application. The circuit structure of the LED lamp in this embodiment is similar to that of the embodiment shown in fig. 25A, except that in this embodiment, the LED module 30a further includes an LED component D3, and the shunt circuit 20a further includes a transistor Q2 and resistors R3 and R4.

The cathode of the LED assembly D1 is electrically connected to the collector of the transistor Q1. The emitter of the transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the second pin of the resistor R1, and the base thereof is electrically connected to the first pin of the resistor R2. The second pin of the resistor R2 is electrically connected to the cathode of the LED assembly D2 and the first pin of the resistor R1. The collector of the transistor Q2 is electrically connected to the second pin of the resistor R1, the emitter thereof is electrically connected to the common ground, and the base thereof is electrically connected to the first pin of the resistor R4. The second pin of the resistor R4 is electrically connected to the cathode of the LED assembly D3 and the first pin of the resistor R3. The second pin of the resistor R3 is electrically connected to the common ground. The second output terminal of the constant current source A1 is electrically connected to the common ground terminal.

Unlike the embodiment shown in fig. 25A, which is similar to the embodiment of the present embodiment in that the current-splitting circuit adjusts the current to three LED modules, one LED module D3 is further added in the present embodiment. The current relationship in this embodiment satisfies the following relationship:

I1＝ID1+ID2+ID3

ID3≈IR3

ID2≈IR1

ID1≈IQ1

IR2 and IR4 are negligible in this embodiment.

So that:

ID3≈Vbe/R3

ID2≈Vbe/R1

ID1＝I1-ID2-ID3

In this embodiment, vbe is a constant value, about 0.7V. The magnitudes of the currents ID2, ID3 and ID1 can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance values of the resistors R1 and R3, so that the brightness of the LED components D1, D2 and D3 can be adjusted.

In the present embodiment, the number of diodes included in the LED assembly D1 is smaller than or equal to the number of light emitting diodes included in the LED assembly D2; the number of light emitting diodes included in the LED assembly D2 is less than or equal to the number of light emitting diodes included in the LED assembly D3.

In some embodiments, the LED assemblies D1, D3 are configured to different colors or color temperatures.

In some embodiments, transistors Q1 and Q2 may be replaced by field effect transistors without affecting the technical effect to be achieved by the present application.

Through the configuration mode of the embodiment, the control of the three paths of LED components can be realized by only one constant current driving circuit, and the function of adjusting the color temperature or the color is realized. Especially when the LED assemblies comprise different numbers of light emitting diodes, current regulation of different LED assemblies can still be achieved.

Unlike the embodiment shown in fig. 25A, the LED lamp of this embodiment has a similar circuit structure, in which the transistor used in the shunt circuit 20a is a PNP transistor, and the transistor used in the embodiment shown in fig. 25A is an NPN transistor. In the present embodiment, the constant current driving circuit 10a includes a constant current source A1, the LED module 30a includes LED components D1 and D2, and the shunt circuit 20a includes a transistor Q1 and resistors R1 and R2. The emitter of the triode Q1 is electrically connected to the first pin of the resistor R1 and the first output end of the constant current source A1, the collector of the triode Q is electrically connected to the anode of the LED component D1, and the base of the triode Q is electrically connected to the first pin of the resistor R2. The second pin of the resistor R2 is electrically connected to the second pin of the resistor R1 and the anode of the LED assembly D2. The cathode of the LED assembly D1 and the cathode of the LED assembly D2 are electrically connected to a common ground. The second output terminal of the constant current source A1 is electrically connected to the common ground terminal.

The operation principle of the shunt circuit 20a in this embodiment is similar to that of the embodiment shown in fig. 25A and 25B, and will not be repeated here.

In this embodiment, the current of IR2 is negligible because of the small current. The current satisfies the following relationship:

ID2≈Vbe/R1

ID1＝I1-ID2

The currents ID1 and ID2 can be adjusted by adjusting the resistor R1, so as to adjust the brightness of the LED assemblies D1 and D2.

In some embodiments, the LED assemblies D1, D2 are configured to different colors or color temperatures.

In some embodiments, the transistor Q1 may be replaced by a field effect transistor without affecting the technical effect of the present application.
