  • Patent number: 8669571
    Abstract: A light distribution controller of a light-emitting device includes a first optical member formed of ZnO disposed over an LED interposing a transparent adhesive, and a second optical member which covers the first optical member. The first optical member includes a first concave portion having an opening in a regular hexagon shape whose area gradually increases. In the first concave portion, inner wall surfaces having inclined surfaces, each of whose bases is formed by one side of the hexagon of the opening shape, are formed. Outside of the first optical member, outer wall surfaces each having a trapezoidal shape are formed. The second optical member includes a second concave portion arranged so that light at an annular peak in the light distribution characteristic of the light traveled through the first optical member is totally reflected.

  • Patent number: 8508689
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element 110; and a lens section 132 covering over the light-emitting element 110. The lens section 132 includes an entrance surface S1 on which light from the light-emitting element 110 is incident; an exit surface S2 from which the light incident on the entrance surface S1 is emitted; and an optical axis L extending so as to penetrate the entrance surface S1 and the exit surface S2. A concave section 132a is formed in an area of the exit surface S2, which contains the optical axis L, and two flat sections 132b are formed so as to face each other across the optical axis L. The exit surface S2 defines an upwardly-protruding curved surface formed between the two flat sections 132b, and the optical axis L is coincidence with a reference optical axis of the light-emitting element 110.

  • Publication number: 20130170208
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a board 112 and a light-emitting element 110 fixed onto the board and having a light emission region facing upward. The board includes a plurality of projections 125 and 126 spaced from one another and each surrounding the light-emitting element 110. A side surface of each of the projections facing the light-emitting element is a reflective surface 125A, 126A that reflects light emitted sideways from the light emission region. The reflective surfaces are concentric about the light-emitting element. Upper ends of the reflective surfaces are located higher with increasing distance from the light-emitting element.

  • Publication number: 20130161665
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes: a light-emitting element 110 fixed onto a board 112 and having a light emission region that faces upward; and a light-control lens 114 located above the light-emitting element 110 and having an optical axis L that coincides with an optical axis of the light emission region. The light-control lens 114 includes a recess 141a located around the optical axis L, a first reflective surface that is located in the recess 141a and totally reflects light incident from the light emission region in a direction away from the optical axis L, and a first refractive surface that is located outside the first reflective surface in the recess 141a and refracts light incident from the light emission region at an emission angle larger than an incident angle of the light.

  • Publication number: 20120243224
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light emitting element mounted on a lead frame which is a base; and a photochromic lens sealing the light emitting element. The light emitting element is in a rectangular parallelepiped shape and has a rectangular upper surface. The photochromic lens has a circular lower surface and has, at a side surface, a convex lens part inwardly inclined from bottom to top. Two flat parts are formed at the side surface by cutting off the photochromic lens in parallel with a long side of the upper surface of the light emitting element.
