Publication number: 20210072596Abstract: According to the present invention, a luminous flux control member of a light emitting device has an incident surface, a back surface, a reflection surface, an emission surface, and a first recessed portion. The first recessed portion includes a first inclined surface. With respect to a direction along the optical axis, a front end of the first inclined surface is positioned further toward the back side than light which is emitted from the center of a light emitting surface of a light emitting element, incident on the incident surface, reflected from the reflection surface, and transmitted toward the emission surface, and is positioned further toward the front side than light which is directly transmitted toward the emission surface without being emitted from an end on the light emitting surface of the light emitting element, incident on the incident surface, and passing by the reflection surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2018Publication date: March 11, 2021Applicant: Enplas CorporationInventors: Kyouhei YAMADA, Masayo TAKIZAWA

Patent number: 10563825Abstract: A portion of the light from the light emitted by a light-emitting element enters the entrance region, then, is reflected by the first reflective surface on the same side as this entrance region with respect to the optical axis serving as a boundary, and is caused to exit from the second reflective surface on this same side. Another portion of the light enters the entrance region, is reflected by the second reflective surface and the third reflective surface, in this order, on the same side as this entrance region with respect to the optical axis serving as the boundary, is then caused to exit from the connection surface on this same side, re-enters from the first reflective surface or the connection surface on the opposite side with respect to the optical axis, and is then caused to exit from the second reflective surface on this opposite side.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Enplas CorporationInventors: Akinobu Seki, Masayo Takizawa

Patent number: 10249223Abstract: A light flux controlling member includes an incidence surface, a reflection surface and an emission surface. The incidence surface includes a top surface and a side surface. The top surface is divided by a first plane into a first top surface and a second top surface. In the cross-section taken along a second plane including the central axis and perpendicular to the first plane, an angle between the tangent to the first top surface and the central axis is larger than an average angle between the tangent to the second top surface and the central axis. The emission surface includes a first emission surface and a second emission surface. In the cross-section taken along the second plane, an average angle between the tangent to the first emission surface and the central axis is smaller than an average angle between the tangent to the second emission surface and the central axis.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2015Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: ENPLAS CORPORATIONInventor: Masayo Takizawa
