Abstract

A light emitting device emitting an output light includes an optical structure. A sub light is defined as the output light corresponding to an azimuth angle, a first value L 1 is a sum of a luminance of the sub light corresponding to a polar angle from 115 to 125 degrees, a second value L 2 is a sum of a luminance of the sub light corresponding to a polar angle from 95 to 105 degrees, a third value L 3 is a sum of a luminance of the sub light corresponding to a polar angle from 75 to 85 degrees, a fourth value L 4 is a sum of a luminance of the sub light corresponding to a polar angle from 55 to 65 degrees. The first value L 1 , the second value L 2 , the third value L 3 and the fourth value L 4 satisfy L 3 ≠L 2 , and (L 2 +L 3 )>(L 1 +L 4 ).
