LED with a wavelength conversion element for car use

摘要

Wavelength conversion element for car use constituted in the following manner can provide practical LED components for headlights and fog lamps. The element comprises a heat conductive base having a cavity; one or more chips fitted to the cavity bottom, and a wavelength conversion part, which converts emitted light from the chip to visible rays, arranged above the chip. The chip comprises a substrate and a light emitting part constituted by an n-type GaN film, an active layer and a p-type GaN film successively laminated on the substrate. The chip has one straight side in its plan view; an angle formed between the bottom and the side cavity surface is over 0 degree and below 90 degree. The cavity has one straight side in its opening. A ratio of the cavity opening to the totaled areas in plan view of the respective chips, is set less than three.
