Abstract: A lens has a refractive index of n, and includes a base, a first curved circumferential surface extending from the base, a curved center-edge surface extending from the first curved circumferential surface, and a curved centermost surface extending from the curved center-edge surface. The base includes a groove for receiving a light emitting chip. A distance from a center of the base to a point of the curved center-edge surface is shorter than the radius of curvature for the point of the curved center-edge surface. The curved centermost surface has a concave shape with respect to the base. The lens satisfies A1+A2<90+sin?1(1/n), where A1 an obtuse angle between a main axis and a tangent line of the curved centermost surface, and A2 is an acute angle between a straight line linking the center of the base to the point of the curved centermost surface and the main axis.

Abstract: A light-generating device includes a driving substrate and a plurality of light source arrays. The driving substrate has a rectangular planar shape. The plurality of light source arrays is formed on the driving substrate. The light source arrays include at least one light emitting diode to generate light in response to power being applied through the substrate, and the light source arrays are spaced apart from each other. Thus, heat generated from the light-generating device is rapidly dissipated from the light-generating device, improving brightness of the light, brightness uniformity of the light and color reproducibility of the light.
