FIG. 5 is a front view showing another embodiment of the LED, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the - line of the same LED. In this embodiment, the dome portion 21 is cut by cutting the upper surface portion of the envelope 6 (the shaded portion in FIG. 5) substantially parallel to the optical axis L.
The amount of light emitted upward is reduced to obtain a rectangular light distribution pattern that is asymmetrical upwardly and downwardly and is more distorted downwardly, as shown in FIG. Lights that require such a light distribution pattern include direction indicator lights placed near the side edges of the rear of the vehicle, and lights placed inside the rear window that light up when braking to alert drivers of following vehicles. Examples include high-mounted stump lamps that make it even more evocative. In particular, when applied to a high-mount stop lamp, the light emitted from the lamp and directed upward will be refracted upward when it passes through the rear window. If the upper surface is removed as described above, less light will be directed upwards, resulting in a downwardly distorted light distribution pattern, which will improve visibility for drivers of following cars, which is of great significance. .

FIG. 8 shows yet another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an LED. In this embodiment, the radius of curvature of the dome portion 21 of the envelope 6 is changed between the dome portion 21a above the optical axis L and the dome portion 21b below, and the radius R 1 of the upper dome portion 21a is changed from the radius R 1 of the dome portion 21a below the optical axis L. The radius of 21b is smaller than R 2 (R 2 > R 1 )
This is what I did. In such a configuration, the upper dome portion 2 of the light emitted from the semiconductor chip 5
Since the light 46 transmitted through the dome 1a is refracted downward to a greater extent than the light 45 transmitted through the lower dome portion 21b due to R 2 > R 1 , it is similar to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. , a light distribution pattern as shown in FIG. 7 can be obtained. Therefore, in this embodiment, there is no need to cut out the upper surface of the envelope 6.
