Patent number: 8727591Abstract: Disclosed are a light emitting device and a light emitting element that can decrease fabrication difficulties, while improving lighting efficiency and controlling the distribution of intensity that occurs in the emitted light. A light emitting device comprises a rod-shaped light guide, an LED that inputs light to the light guide, and a prism that changes the direction of light input from the lengthwise end of the light guide, and emits redirected light from a light exit surface that is disposed opposite the prism. The light emitting device is constituted so that an input lens is formed at the lengthwise end of the light guide as a parallel light forming body to make light exiting from the LED toward the light guide nearly parallel light, and the LED is shifted from the center axis of the light guide toward the side closer to the prism, or toward the side away from the prism, and thus said nearly parallel light is directed to the exit surface of the light guide or to the prism.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2010Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignees: Nittoh Kogaku K.K.Inventor: Keiichi Mochizuki

Patent number: 8613531Abstract: To provide a light emitting device that realizes a similar light distribution state to that of a conventional incandescent light bulb even though the light emitting device has a structure with a light emitting element such as an LED placed on a substrate. In the light emitting device in which the LED is placed on the substrate, the light emitting device includes the light guiding member, into which light emitted from the LED enters, while the light guiding member having the launching surface (i.e., the facing-substrate launching surface and the side launching surface) from which the entered light is launched. Meanwhile, the launching surface has the facing-substrate launching surface including a total reflection surface for totally reflecting light incident in the launching surface at a critical angle, in a direction tilted toward a side of the substrate than a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the light emitting device.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2011Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignees: Nittoh Kogaku K.K.Inventor: Keiichi Mochizuki
