Definitions
- a light module is specified that is suitable for large area backlighting or lighting applications.
- billboards are used which are equipped with photo images and backlighting devices for illuminating the photographic images. If the backlighting is effected by LEDs, the junction temperatures for the different LEDs may differ.
- the billboards are typically in an upright position. This allows the LEDs in the lower part of the billboard to give off their heat upwards. As a result, the LEDs in the middle and top areas of the billboard are exposed to a higher temperature than the LEDs in the lower area, resulting in higher
- junction temperatures of these LEDs leads.
- different junction temperatures of the LEDs result in different brightnesses in the application and cause a color locus shift.
- this can additionally lead to different aging behavior of the LEDs, which in turn is reflected in a Farbortverschiebung and a change in brightness.
- An object to be solved in the present case is to provide a light module with consistent color and brightness properties.
- the ⁇ light emitting module comprises a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor devices, a connection carrier on which the radiation-emitting semiconductor devices are arranged, and a heat sink, which is connected on its front surface with the connection carrier and has a base body as well as an agent is set up to change the thermal resistance of the heat sink locally, wherein the average thermal resistance of the heat sink along a main extension direction of the light-emitting module decreases.
- the mean thermal resistance is a measure of the temperature difference that arises on average when passing through a heat flow (heat per unit time or heat output) through the heat sink along a main extension direction of the light module.
- the light area of the light module can be divided into a lower, middle and upper area. Each area can be assigned a medium thermal resistance.
- the average thermal resistance in the lower region is higher than in the middle or upper region.
- the light module can be described as follows:
- the light module comprises a heat sink, which comprises a base body and a means.
- the agent has a heat resistance that is different from the thermal resistance of the body.
- the heat sink in the region of the means on a different thermal resistance than in the region of the body.
- the agent can thus ensure that the heat sink no uniform heat resistance.
- the thermal resistance of the body has, but that the thermal resistance is varied locally.
- the thermal resistance of the heat sink can be set with the means such that the heat sink has in places the thermal resistance of the base body and at other points the heat resistance of the heat sink deviates from the thermal resistance of the base body.
- the heat resistance of the heat sink in the region of the agent is greater or less than the thermal resistance of the body.
- a heat sink can be realized in which the average thermal resistance along a main extension direction of the light module changes, for example decreases.
- the light-emitting module preferably has a flat shape, that is to say the depth of the light-emitting module is less than the length and width of the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting module.
- the light module has two main extension directions: the first main extension direction runs parallel to the longitudinal side of the light module, the second main extension direction runs parallel to the broad side of the light module.
- the relevant main direction of extension is, in particular, that which, when the light module is mounted upright, is opposite to the force of gravity. The main direction of extension then points from the lower to the upper area.
- the radiation-emitting components in the upright position of the light-emitting module are conventionally exposed to a higher temperature in the middle and upper regions of the light-emitting module than in the lower region.
- the temperature difference between the lower area and the remaining areas can be reduced. Because by the decrease of the average heat resistance along the main extension direction, which in particular opposite to gravity, takes place in the lower area a worse heat conduction than in the middle and upper area. As a result, the temperature in the lower area increases, and the temperature difference between the lower area and the remaining areas decreases. This in turn leads to improved Farbort- and brightness characteristics of the light module and its durability.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components may be unhoused semiconductor chips or compact components with semiconductor chips arranged in housings.
- the semiconductor chips are manufactured in thin-film technology.
- a reflective layer is applied or formed which reflects back at least part of the electromagnetic radiation generated in the epitaxial layer sequence; the epitaxial layer sequence has a thickness in the range of 20 ⁇ m or less, in particular in the range of 10 ⁇ m; and - the epitaxial layer sequence contains at least one
- Semiconductor layer having at least one surface which has a mixing structure which, in the ideal case, results in an approximately ergodic distribution of the light in the epitaxial epitaxial layer sequence, ie it has a possible ergodisch stochastic scattering behavior.
- a thin-film light-emitting diode chip is to a good approximation a Lambert surface radiator.
- white light is often preferred.
- the generation of white light can firstly be realized by the use of semiconductor devices which already emit white light.
- semiconductor components which emit differently colored light which in total yields white light.
- red, green and blue light emitting semiconductor devices can be used, whose light is mixed.
- a balanced temperature within the light module is particularly important. Because at higher temperatures, the brightness of red-emitting semiconductor devices decreases more than with green and blue glowing semiconductor devices. Thus, different white points are to be expected at different temperatures. In the lighting module according to the invention, this problem can be successfully prevented.
- the connection carrier on which the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are arranged is a printed circuit board.
- Preferred circuit boards are metal core boards (so-called MCPCBs) or substrates comprising a laminate of resin and Fiberglass fabric contained (so-called FR4) and with thermal vias, preferably Metall embromiser, are provided for improved heat conduction.
- the connection carrier may have a thermal interface material (so-called TIM), which improves the thermal contact between the connection carrier and the heat sink.

- By increasing or decreasing the number of elements per unit area can advantageously a Reduction of the thermal resistance of the heat sink along the main extension direction can be effected.
- the area unit corresponds to the size of the areas. Whether the number of elements increases or decreases along the main direction of extension results, in particular, from a comparison of the number of elements in the lower region with the number of elements in the middle or upper region.
- the means comprises at least one thermally insulating element, which has a greater thermal resistance than the main body of the heat sink.
- the thermally insulating element or the thermally insulating elements are arranged on or in the base body, that passage of a heat flow in the region of the element or the elements is difficult compared to other areas.

- the thermally conductive element or the thermally conductive elements are arranged on or in the main body, that a passage of heat flow in the region of the element or the elements compared to other areas of the heat sink is facilitated.
