  • Patent number: 7445360
    Abstract: A lens component includes: a light incident portion (16) having an incident face (14) upon which light from a light source (6) is incident, the light source (6) being disposed at a light source position (15); and a plurality of plate-like light guiding portions (17, 32) disposed radially around an axis (S0) passing through the light source position (15) or a position in the vicinity thereof, and arranged to guide light incident from the incident face (14) of the light incident portion (16), in emission directions (F, F1-F3) at right angles to the axis (S0). Each of the plate-like light guiding portions (17, 32) is provided on an end face (27) thereof with a radial reflecting face (29, 29A, 29B) for internally reflecting, in the emission directions (F, F1-F3), the light incident from the incident face (14) of the light incident portion (16).

  • Patent number: 6471371
    Abstract: A display lamp in which the front face of a non-display portion (2a) is surrounded by a globe (5, 5A) serving as a display portion and in which a light source (4) is disposed inside of the space defined by the globe (5, 5A) and the non-display portion (2a). The light source (4) comprises at least a pair of left and right LEDs (42, 43) disposed at both sides which sandwich the transverse center of the front face of the non-display portion (2a). The LEDs (42, 43) respectively irradiate lights to those zones of the globe (5, 5A) which are located in the opposite sides with respect to the LEDs (42, 43) on the basis of the transverse center of the globe (5, 5A). Preferably, the pair of LEDs (42, 43) comprises a pair of left- and right-side end LEDs (42, 43) disposed at the left- and right-side ends or their vicinities of the front face of the non-display portion (2a).
