Abstract

The light emitting device includes a light emitting chip, and an optical lens provided over the light emitting chip. The optical lens includes an incident surface into which a light emitted from the light emitting chip is incident, a recess portion opposite to the incident surface and recessed in a direction of the incident surface, an exit surface provided at a peripheral portion of the recess portion to output a light incident through the incident surface, and a convex portion protruding between the recess portion and the exit surface and connected with at least one of the recess portion and the exit surface through an inflection point. The convex portion is located inward of a line segment ranging from the light emitting chip to a first inflection point provided at an outermost portion of the recess portion.

Claims (45)

1. A light emitting device comprising:

a light emitting chip; and

an optical lens over the light emitting chip,

wherein the optical lens comprises:

an incident surface into which a light emitted from the light emitting chip is incident;

a recess portion opposite to the incident surface and recessed in a direction of the incident surface;

an exit surface provided at a peripheral part of the recess portion to output a light incident through the incident surface; and

a convex portion protruding between the recess portion and the exit surface and connected with at least one of the recess portion and the exit surface through an inflection point, and

wherein the convex portion is located inward of a line segment ranging from the light emitting chip to a first inflection point provided at an outermost portion of the recess portion,

wherein the light emitting device further comprises a reflective member on the recess portion of the optical lens, and

wherein a top surface of the reflective member has a position lower than a position of an apex of the optical lens, and higher than a position of the first inflection point provided at the outermost portion of the recess portion.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 ,

wherein the top surface of the reflective member has a length shorter than a diameter between apexes of the optical lens and longer than a diameter between first inflection points.

3. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a first angle between a tangential line, which passes through the first inflection point from the light emitting chip, and an optical axis is smaller than a second angle between a tangential line extending from the light emitting chip and making contact with an outermost curved surface of the recess portion and the optical axis, and the first inflection point is closer to the recess portion than from the apex of the optical lens.

4. The light emitting device of claim 3 , wherein the first angle is smaller than an angle between a tangential line extending from the light emitting chip and making contact with an innermost curved surface of the convex portion and the optical axis.

5. The light emitting device of claim 4 , wherein the first angle is in a range of 40° to 60°.

6. The light emitting device of claim 4 , wherein a distance between the optical axis and the first inflection point is in a range of 59% to 65% based on a radius of the optical lens.

7. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the recess portion comprises a first total-reflection surface close to the light emitting chip and having a first curvature, a second total-reflection surface connected with the first total-reflection surface and having a second curvature, and a third total-reflection surface connected with the second total-reflection surface and having a third curvature, and the convex portion has a curvature smaller than the first and second curvatures.

8. The light emitting device of claim 7 , wherein the second total-reflection surface comprises a plurality of curved surfaces having curvatures different from each other between the first and third total-reflection surfaces.

9. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting chip is spaced apart from the incident surface of the optical lens.

10. The light emitting device of claim 9 , wherein the incident surface of the optical lens comprises a flat surface or a recess part convexly recessed in a direction of the recess portion.

11. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the convex portion is disposed inward of an apex of the optical lens and an apex of the exit surface.

12. The light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first body provided at a peripheral portion of the light emitting chip and formed of a reflective material;

a second body including a transparent material on the first body;

a resin layer to cover the light emitting chip; and

a plurality of lead frames coupled with the first body and the resin layer and electrically connected to the light emitting chip.

13. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the convex portion protrudes beyond an apex of the exit surface.

14. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the convex portion comprises an inner region making contact with the reflective member and an outer region spaced apart from the reflective member.

15. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective member makes contact with the convex portion and the recess portion.

16. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the convex portion and the recess portion are rotational-symmetric to each other about the optical axis.

17. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the convex portion is provided in a ring shape at the peripheral portion of the recess portion.

18. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the recess portion has a depth in a range of 65% to 75% based on a thickness of the optical lens.

19. A light emitting device comprising:

a light emitting chip; and

an optical lens on the light emitting chip,

wherein the optical lens comprises:

an incident surface into which a light emitted from the light emitting chip is incident;

a recess portion opposite to the incident surface and recessed in a direction of the incident surface;

an exit surface disposed at a peripheral part of the recess portion to output a light incident through the incident surface; and

a convex portion protruding between the recess portion and the exit surface and connected with at least one of the recess portion and the exit surface through an inflection point, and

wherein the convex portion is located inward of a line segment ranging from the light emitting chip to a first inflection point provided at an outermost portion of the recess portion,

wherein the light emitting device further comprises a reflective member on the recess portion of the optical lens, and

wherein a top surface of the reflective member has a length shorter than a diameter between apexes of the optical lens and longer than a diameter between first inflection points.

20. A light emitting device comprising: a light emitting chip; and an optical lens on the light emitting chip, wherein the optical lens comprises: an incident surface into which a light emitted from the light emitting chip is incident; a recess portion opposite to the incident surface and recessed in a direction of the incident surface; an exit surface disposed at a peripheral part of the recess portion to output a light incident through the incident surface; and a convex portion protruding between the recess portion and the exit surface and connected with at least one of the recess portion and the exit surface through an inflection point, and wherein the convex portion is located inward of a line segment ranging from the light emitting chip to a first inflection point provided at an outermost portion of the recess portion, wherein a first angle between a tangential line, which passes through the first inflection point from the light emitting chip, and an optical axis is smaller than a second angle between a tangential line extending from the light emitting chip and making contact with an outermost curved surface of the recess portion and the optical axis, and the first inflection point is closer to the recess portion than from an apex of the optical lens, wherein the first angle is smaller than an angle between a tangential line extending from the light emitting chip and making contact with an innermost curved surface of the convex portion and the optical axis.
