A light emitting module with improved optical functionality and reduced thermal resistance is described, which comprises a light emitting device (LED), a wavelength converting (WC) element and an inorganic optically-transmissive thermally-conductive (OTTC) element. The WC element is capable of absorbing light generated from the LED at a specific wavelength and re-emitting light having a different wavelength. The re-emitted light and any unabsorbed light exits through at least one surface of the module. The OTTC is in physical contact with the WC element and at least partially located in the optical path of the light. The OTTC comprises one or more layers of inorganic material having a thermal conductivity greater than that of the WC element. As such, a compact unitary integrated module is provided with excellent thermal characteristics, which may be further enhanced when the OTTC provides a thermal barrier for vertical heat propagation through the module but not lateral propagation. |
