High-intensity light emitting diode with concave and convex shaped light scattering portions formed on a cover
A light emitting diode, capable of accomplishing enlargement of emitted range of light and equalization of brightness of emitted light has a substrate ( 22 ), electrodes ( 23 a , 23 b ), a light emitting element ( 24 ) mounted on the substrate ( 22 ) and connected electrically with the electrodes ( 23 a , 23 b ), a resinous cover ( 26 ) for sealing the light emitting element ( 24 ) and electrodes ( 23 a , 23 b ) and an uneven shaped light scattering part ( 30 ) provided on the surface of the cover.
1. A high-intensity light emitting diode comprising:
a substrate;
a pair of electrodes provided on said substrate;
a light emitting element mounted on said substrate and connected electrically with said electrodes, the light emitting element having a light-projecting surface;
a transparent cover comprising a cuboid resin formed on said substrate for sealing said electrodes and said light emitting element; and
a concave and convex shaped light scattering part provided on a flat surface of said cover facing toward the light-projecting surface of the light emitting element;
wherein said light scattering part includes a plurality of concave and convex portions formed on the flat surface of the cover,
wherein a depth and an oblique angle of each of the concave and convex portions are un-uniformly formed with respect to each other so that light scatters in a wide-angle direction at the light scattering part,
wherein the depth of each of the concave and convex portions of the light scattering part is 4 μm or more, and
wherein the oblique angle made by each of the concave and convex portions of the light scattering part is in a range of 1 to 45 degrees.
