Patent number: 9574738Abstract: A lens includes a light incident surface and a light output surface. In a coordinate system, the light incident surface satisfies a formula (1): Z r 1 = c 1 ? r 1 2 1 + 1 - r 1 2 ? c 1 2 + u 1 2 ? ( 1 - u 1 2 ) 1 - r 1 2 ? c 1 2 ? ? m = 0 M ? a m ? Q m ? ( u 1 2 ) . c1 is a curvature of the light incident surface. r1 is a distance from the center of the lens to a joint point between the light input surface and a radius which is substantially perpendicular to the central axis of the lens. u1 is a normalized radius of the light incident surface. am represents the aspheric coefficient. Qm is a polynomial of order m and represents that the sum of am is equal to the sum of the root mean square of the slope of the light incident surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Po-Yu Lin, Chien-Hui Lin, Tai-Cherng Yu

Patent number: 9574739Abstract: A lens for an LED includes a top face, a bottom face, and a circumferential periphery interconnecting the top and bottom faces. The top face defines a recess therein. A concave wall defines a bottom of the recess. In cross section of the lens, the concave wall consists of two symmetrical curves extending outward and upwardly from a bottom tip of the recess to connect with the top face. Each curve is a part of a hyperbola. The cavity is for receiving an LED therein. The lens further forms a cone-shaped top wall enclosing a top of the cavity. Light emitted from the LED travels through the cone-shaped top wall to strike the concave wall and be reflected thereby to radiate sideward and downwardly. The sideward and downwardly reflected light then is reflected by a reflective coating on a substrate to illuminate upwardly.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Tai-Cherng Yu, Chien-Hui Lin
