That is, the first lens portion 71a provides a substantially elliptical light distribution characteristic having a narrow irradiation angle in the straight line Y direction having a strong curvature and a wide irradiation angle in the cross line X direction having a weak curvature. However, since the first lens portion 71a is tilted to the left, the light distribution characteristics described above move to the left, and the notch 2b is further provided on the left, and the LED chip 4 from the left goes to the left. Direct light increases. In the above description, the light emitting diode 1 is viewed from the front.

Accordingly, in the light distribution characteristics shown in FIG. 4, the light distribution characteristics H71 from the first case portion 71 are rightward from the front, and the light distribution characteristics H71 from the first case portion 71 are similarly shifted from the front. The light distribution characteristic H72 from the front 72 is leftward from the front, and the total light distribution characteristic H of the two light distribution characteristics H71 and H72 is an oval shape wide in the left-right direction. Therefore, the light emitting diode 1 of the present invention can illuminate a subject having a large aspect ratio such as a bar code with one light emitting diode.

As described above, according to the present invention, a pair of mounting lead frames each having a horn provided with a notch in one direction are linearly connected to each other in a direction perpendicular to the straight line. Are arranged so that they face each other,
An LED chip is mounted in each of the horns, and a portion corresponding to each of the LED chips is formed such that a diameter of a curved surface in a direction perpendicular to the straight line is larger than a diameter of a curved surface in a direction parallel to the straight line, and With the light-emitting diode provided with an integrated mold case having a lens portion having a shape in which the axis is inclined in the direction in which the portion is provided, the light from each LED chip is provided by the cutout portion and the lens portion. To provide light distribution characteristics that spread widely in opposite directions to each other, make the overall compounding characteristics a large aspect ratio, and can illuminate an object having a large aspect ratio such as a bar code with a single light emitting diode. As a result, the number of light emitting diodes used can be reduced, and the number of parts and assembling man-hours can be reduced. It is intended.
