Abstract

A spread lens including a first lens surface through which the emitted light from the light emitting device is inputted; a second lens surface spreading the inputted light to an outside; refraction parts which extend between both side ends of each of the first and second lens surfaces, are formed in a concave-convex shape, and refract the emitted light from the light emitting device; and support parts which extend at both side ends of the second lens surface and separate the refraction parts and the light emitting device from each other.

Claims (18)

1. A light emitting device assembly comprising:

a light emitting device package mounted with a light emitting device; and

a spread lens spreading light emitted from the light emitting device package,

wherein the spread lens including:

a first lens surface through which the emitted light from the light emitting device is inputted;

a second lens surface spreading the light inputted through the first lens surface to an outside;

a planar bottom surface extending between edges of the first and second lens surfaces;

refraction parts formed on the planar bottom surface, and having a concave-convex shape for refracting the light emitted from the light emitting device; and

a plurality of support parts extending downwardly from the planar bottom surface, the plurality of support parts receiving the light emitting device package therebetween separating the refraction parts and the light emitting device package from each other,

wherein each of the plurality of support parts has a height greater than that of the light emitting device, and

wherein bottom surfaces of the plurality of support parts are substantially coplanar with a bottom surface of the light emitting device package.

2. The light emitting device assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the refraction parts are formed in any one concave-convex shape selected from a V shape, a lozenge shape, and a cone shape.

3. The light emitting device assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a curvature radius of the first lens surface is smaller than that of the second lens surface.

4. The light emitting device assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting device is an LED (Light Emitting Device).

5. The light emitting device assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of support parts extend from the planar bottom surface in a direction perpendicular to the planar bottom surface.

6. The light emitting device assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the spread lens is formed of an optical glass or an optical synthetic resin.

7. The light emitting device assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the optical glass is made of BK7 or SK5.

8. The light emitting device assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the optical synthetic resin is made of a polycarbonate resin or a polymethyl acrylate resin.
