  • Publication number: 20240085595
    Abstract: A Fresnel lens in a lens body, the lens body is provided with a light incident surface and a light exit surface opposite to each other along a first direction, and the light exit surfaces are adjacently arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. There are several protruding teeth, and the protruding teeth are formed by an effective surface and an ineffective surface, and the ineffective surface is inclined at an acute angle relative to the first direction. The invention makes the light passing through the lens body reach the effective surface as much as possible, thereby reducing stray light and enhancing light efficiency.
