DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0028] In order to improve the luminous efficiency of the LED packaging module, improve the conversion efficiency of the fluorescent powder, determine the light-emitting direction of the fluorescent powder and gather the light, as shown in FIG. 2, the invention provides a fluorescent strip 100, covering a luminous body 200, wherein the fluorescent strip 100 includes a fluorescent powder layer 10 and at least two protective layers; and the fluorescent powder layer 10 is sandwiched between the two protective layers, so that the falling of the fluorescent powder is avoided, a function of protecting and limiting the fluorescent powder is realized, and the fluorescent powder is uniformly laid on a surface of the luminous body 200.

[0029] In one embodiment of the invention, there are two protective layers, i.e. an inner protective layer 12 and an outer protective layer 14, wherein widths of the inner protective layer 12, the outer protective layer 14 and the fluorescent powder layer 10 are equal; and the fluorescent powder layer 10 is sandwiched between the inner protective layer 12 and the outer protective layer 14. The fluorescent powder layer 10 is uniformly provided with the fluorescent powder, wherein the fluorescent powder can be yellow powder in Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) fluorescent powder, nitride fluorescent powder and silicate fluorescent powder, and can also be red fluorescent powder in Nitride fluorescent powder and silicate fluorescent powder, and can also be red fluorescent powder in QDs; the QDs in the fluorescent powder layer are wrapped by silica gel; and the fluorescent powder is not limited by the abovementioned materials.

[0030] In another embodiment of the invention, the fluorescent strip 100 further includes a light converging layer 16, wherein the light converging layer 16 covers the outer protective layer 14, and light emitted by the luminous body 200 sequentially passes through the inner protective layer 12, the fluorescent power layer 10, the outer protective layer 14 and the light converging layer 16, and is converged into light rays through the light converging layer 16. The light converging layer 16 consists of a plurality of light converging single bodies 160 which are closely arranged, and is saw tooth-shaped. Each light converging single body 160 is triangular, prismatic or semi-cylindrical. The light rays emitted by the luminous body 200 are converged and gathered by the saw tooth-shaped light converging layer 16, so that light converging effects are improved. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a vertex angle of each light converging single body is ranged from 30 to 120 degrees, preferably 90 degrees, and when the vertex angle is 90 degrees, a light acceptance function is the best, and a light form is the narrowest. Light paths formed by the light emitted by the fluorescent powder layer are scattered, and the ratio of light emitted within a large angle is high; the fluorescent strip of the invention reflects light through each light converging single body 160 of the light converging layer 16, so as the scattered light rays are refracted by a plurality of light converging single bodies 160 to be converged and gathered, and particularly, the light emitted within the large angle is gathered and narrowed, so that the ratio of the light emitted within the large angle is reduced, and the light rays can enter a light guide plate at a small angle when entering a liquid crystal display; and therefore, the light coupling efficiency of the light entering the liquid crystal display is improved.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, an emergent surface of each light converging single body 160 has a prism-shaped structure, and the light rays are emitted into the light converging single bodies from incident surfaces, and then are refracted by the prism-shaped emergent surfaces so as to be gathered and converged.

[0032] Preferably, the light converging layer is made from MS, PMMA or silica gel, and the protective layers are made from MS or PMMA. The light converging layer or the protective layers are low in refraction index and high in light transmission; and therefore, by the materials, the luminous efficiency of the light in a light guide strip can be effectively improved, and a light converging microstructure can be manufactured by adopting injection molding and imprinting processes. In addition, due to the adoption of a material such as silica gel with low water and oxygen permeability, the service life of the fluorescent powder can be prolonged.

[0033] The invention also provides an LED packaging module, which includes:

[0034] a heat conduction substrate 20;

[0035] a plurality of LED chips 22, welded on the heat conduction substrate 20; and

[0036] a fluorescent strip 100, which covers the LED chips 22 and includes a fluorescent powder layer 10 and at least two protective layers, wherein the fluorescent powder layer 10 is sandwiched between the two protective layers, so that the falling of fluorescent powder is avoided.

[0037] The protective layers include an inner protective layer 12 and an outer protective layer 14, and the fluorescent powder layer 10 is sandwiched between the inner protective layer 12 and the outer protective layer 14. The fluorescent strip 100 further includes a light converging layer 16, wherein the light converging layer 16 covers the outer protective layer 14, and light emitted by the LED chips 22 sequentially passes through the inner protective layer 12, the fluorescent power layer 10, the outer protective layer 14 and the light converging layer 16, and is converged into light rays through the light converging layer 16 to realize the converging of the light emitted within a large angle and improve the light coupling efficiency; and total reflection in the LED packaging module is damaged by the light converging layer 16, so that the luminous efficiency is effectively improved, and the conversion efficiency of the fluorescent powder is improved.
