Abstract: A lens for reforming radiation from a light-emitting diode having a first convex surface for admitting radiation path from the light-emitting diode that is close to the axis of the diode and a cylindrical surface for admitting radiation that makes a wider angle with the axis of the diode, a conical surface disposed to receive and totally internally reflect radiation admitted by said convex surface and re-radiate it at an angle substantially normal to the axis of the diode and a curved surface for receiving and re-radiating at an angle substantially normal to the axis of the diode radiation admitted by the cylindrical surface.

Abstract: A projection optical system and a projection television employing the same are provided. The projection optical system includes a lens module and an electron beam tube optical module. The lens module includes a plastic power lens and a hybrid lens. The hybrid lens includes a spherical, biconvex, glass lens and an aspheric lens layer formed on at least one face of the spherical lens. The electron beam tube optical module includes a C-shaped aberration correction device, a window, and a coolant disposed between the window and the aberration correction device. Accordingly, the projection television can provide high quality pictures. In addition, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing costs of the projection television.
