Lens for light emitting diode package
View Patent ↗A lens for a light emitting diode package and a light emitting diode package having the same have simple structures and increase light extraction efficiency by preventing light emitted from a light emitting diode chip from being internally reflected by a lens surface through a structural change in the lens surface.
1. A lens for a light emitting diode package that covers a light emitting diode chip mounted in a package body, the lens comprising:
a plurality of refractive lenses each having a sub-radius of curvature smaller than one main radius of curvature of an outer surface of the lens protruding above the package body, and raised on the outer surface of the lens along the main radius of curvature,
wherein a ratio of the sub-radius of curvature to the main radius of curvature of the refractive lenses satisfies the following equation,
2√{square root over (2)} <R/r,
where R is a main radius of curvature, and r is a sub-radius of curvature, and
wherein a distance between the refractive lenses arranged in a fly's eye pattern and the sub-radius of curvature of the refractive lenses satisfy the following equation,
d=r/ 2 Equation 2,
wherein d is a distance between refractive lenses, and r is a sub-radius of curvature.
2. The lens for a light emitting diode package of claim 1 , wherein the refractive lenses are fly's eye lenses.
3. The lens for a light emitting diode package of claim 1 ,
wherein the refractive lenses are provided at intersections of a plurality of horizontal lines and vertical lines depressed below the outer surface at predetermined intervals.
4. The lens for a light emitting diode package of claim 3 , wherein the refractive lenses are arranged in a convex mesh by the plurality of horizontal lines and vertical lines.
