Illumination device
View Patent ↗An illumination device includes: a light source including a plurality of light emission elements disposed adjacent to one another and phosphors; and a lens sheet including a plurality of first prisms disposed on an optical axis of the light source and disposed concentrically around the optical axis of the light source, wherein a plurality of second prisms reaching up to an outer peripheral portion of the lens sheet is radially formed around the optical axis of the light source on a surface of the lens sheet where the first prisms are formed.
1. An illumination device comprising:
a light source including a plurality of light emission elements disposed adjacent to one another and phosphors; and
a lens sheet disposed on an optical axis of the light source where the lens sheet includes a plurality of first prisms disposed concentrically around the optical axis of the light source,
wherein a plurality of second prisms is provided starting from the optical axis of the light source reaching up to an outer peripheral portion of the lens sheet, the plurality of second prisms radially crossing a surface of the lens sheet where the first prisms are formed.
2. The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein the second prisms each have an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to a surface of an opposite side of the lens sheet.
3. The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein all of the second prisms each intersect near the optical axis of the light source.
4. The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the second prisms is formed such that a cross-sectional area of the second prism increases as moving closer to the optical axis of the light source.
5. The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first prisms includes a first lens group disposed on an inner side and a second lens group disposed on an outer side of the first lens group when setting the optical axis of the light source to be a reference location, and
the first lens group includes a plurality of prisms each having an inclined surface that is inclined toward the optical axis of the light source.
6. The illumination device according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of prisms included in the first lens group is formed such that an inclination angle of the inclined surface decreases according to a distance from the optical axis of the light source.
7. The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first prisms and the plurality of second prisms are formed on a surface of the lens sheet that faces the light source, and
a plurality of light scattering elements is formed on a surface opposite to the surface of the lens sheet that faces the light source.
