  • Patent number: 8981387
    Abstract: A light emitting diode assembly includes a base, a light emitting chip mounted on the base, an elastic lens covering the light emitting chip, two rotation members rotatably arranged on the base, and two stopper poles fixed on the base. The two rotation members are capable of driving the elastic lens to rotate with respect to the two stopper poles. The stopper poles compress the elastic lens to cause the elastic lens to deform resiliently when the elastic lens is rotated by the rotation members to engage with the stopper poles.
