Description
The present invention relates to a light diffusing lens applied to diffuse light of an LED, and more particularly, to a light diffusing lens for effectively and uniformly diffusing light of an LED to obtain a uniform light distribution.
BACKGROUND ART A direct backlighting unit for arranging a plurality of LEDs at regular intervals under a substantially flat object such as a liquid crystal panel or a light diffuser plate to illuminate the object is used for a backlight of a surface light or a liquid crystal display. In order to uniformly illuminate an object with only a plurality of LEDs, a large number of LEDs must be arranged densely, thus increasing power consumption. Furthermore, if there is a quality deviation between the LEDs, the object is unevenly backlighted. In order to reduce the number of LEDs used, a technique of distributing light widely by disposing a light diffusing lens on each LED may be used. In this technique, the light diffusing lens and the corresponding at least one LED constitute one light emitting unit.
In order for the light passing through the light diffusing lens to have a uniform distribution, it is required to effectively diffuse light within 60 degrees from the central axis of the light diffusing lens, that is, the optical axis. The conventional light diffusing lens includes a light incident portion formed concave on the bottom surface and a light exit surface opposite the bottom surface. In addition, the light diffusing lens has a concave portion at the upper end of the light exit surface in order to effectively diffuse light within 60 degrees from the optical axis. The recess contributes much to diffusing light near the optical axis, especially light within 60 degrees from the optical axis.
However, in designing a conventional light diffusing lens, there must be a deep and careful consideration of the shape and size of the concave portion, and the relationship between the concave portion and the light incident portion must also be deeply considered, which complicates the lens design and reduces the design freedom. Drop. In addition, defects or defects in the recesses during the manufacture or management of the light diffusing lens deteriorate the performance of the light diffusing lens and the product including the same.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a light diffusing lens for LEDs that can diffuse the light of an LED effectively and widely without omitting a recess in the upper center of the light emitting surface.
The light emitting unit according to the aspect of the present invention has an optical axis (L), the light diffusing lens of the refractive index material higher than the air in the light incident portion and the light exit surface of each of the lower surface and the light incident toward the light incident portion Includes an LED that emits. The upper center of the light exiting surface is formed into a flat surface or a convex curved surface, and the light incident portion is located at a vertex of the light incident portion from a point p on the optical axis L within a range of 50 degrees from the optical axis L. The shortest distance to reach is formed in a structure larger than the shortest distance a to reach the side surface of the light incident part from the one point p.
According to one embodiment, the light incident portion has a vertical cross section.
According to one embodiment, the light incident portion, the lower inlet adjacent to the LED is circular, and has a shape that gradually converges while maintaining the circular toward the vertex.
According to one embodiment, the height of the light incident portion may be greater than 1.5 times the bottom inlet radius.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a light diffusing lens having an optical axis (L) but of a refractive index material higher than that of air, the light diffusing lens being formed on a lower surface and bordering the air, and opposite the lower surface. And an exit surface bounded by air. The upper center of the light exiting surface is formed into a flat surface or a convex curved surface, and the light incident portion is located at a vertex of the light incident portion from a point p on the optical axis L within a range of 50 degrees from the optical axis L. The shortest distance to reach is formed in a structure larger than the shortest distance a to reach the side surface of the light incident part from the one point p.
The light diffusing lens according to the present invention provides an evenly diffused light distribution by spreading light within 60 degrees from the optical axis effectively and broadly when the light incident portion is applied adjacent to the LED, even without a recess in the upper center of the light exit surface. can do. At this time, the omission of the concave portion makes it possible to design and manufacture the light diffusing lens more easily, and also to minimize the defect of the light diffusing lens due to the defects formed on the concave portion.
