Patent number: 8777458Abstract: Disclosed is a light emitting device to reduce the number of components and elements of a light emitting device and a lighting device having the light emitting device, and simplify and miniaturize the structures of these devices. With this light flux controlling member (4), a total reflecting surface (12) functions like a reflecting member, light from a light emitting element (LED, for example) (3) that is incident from an input surface (13) and that arrives at the total reflecting surface (12) is total-reflected by the total reflecting surface (12) toward the output surface (11) side (including a first output surface (11a) and second output surface (11b)), and the illuminating light from the second output surface (11b) is superimposed upon the illuminating light from the first output surface (11a), so that the light from the light emitting element (LED, for example) (3) is used efficiently and illuminates the illumination target surface (6) over a wide range.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2011Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Enplas CorporationInventors: Akinobu Seki, Kyouhei Yamada, Noriyuki Kawahara, Hiroshi Takatori

Publication number: 20140146546Abstract: A member for controlling luminous flux (100) has an incidence surface (110) and an emitting surface (120). The incidence surface (110) is a pyramidal surface having a recessed shape relative to the bottom of the member for controlling luminous flux (100), and having rounded borders between the individual facets. The horizontal cross-section of the incidence surface (110) is substantially similar in shape to that of an n-hedral irradiated surface (410). In the horizontal cross-section of the emitting surface (120), each of the straight lines connecting together adjacent angles of the n angles that correspond to the n angles of the irradiated surface (410) is substantially parallel to the side that corresponds to the horizontal cross-section of the incidence surface (110). The horizontal cross-section of the emitting surface (120) is the same as the n-hedron formed by the straight lines in the cross section, or fits inside the n-hedron.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2012Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: ENPLAS CORPORATIONInventors: Kyouhei Yamada, Noriyuki Kawahara
