Abstract

An LED luminescent device includes an LED light source, a reflector, a light shade and a projecting lens. The LED light source includes at least one LED element having a light-emitting surface emitting light. The reflector faces the light-emitting surface of the at least one LED element and has multiple reflection surfaces of different curvatures reflecting the light from the light-emitting surface of the at least one LED element. The light shade adjusts the light reflected by the reflector to provide a required light distribution pattern. The projecting lens project the required light distribution pattern. Thus, the device and a vehicle lamp including the device can prevent losing light energy.

Claims (7)

1. An LED luminescent device comprising:

a light emitting diode (LED) light source comprising first and second trapezoidal LED elements having a light-emitting surface emitting light, with the first and second trapezoidal LED elements each having first and second parallel surfaces, a perpendicular surface extending between the first and second surfaces, and an inclined surface extending between the first and second surfaces, with the inclined surfaces of the first and second trapezoidal LED elements facing each other to form a rectangle, wherein each trapezoidal LED element is a high brightness LED of 200 lm;

a reflector facing the light-emitting surface of the first and second trapezoidal LED elements and having multiple reflection surfaces of different curvatures reflecting the light from the light-emitting surface of the first and second trapezoidal LED elements, wherein the reflection surfaces are at a distance of more than 20 mm from the LED light source, wherein the reflection surfaces comprise

a first reflection surface disposed over the LED light source; and

a second reflection surface disposed in rear of the LED light source, wherein the second reflection surface is an afterglow composite reflection surface;

a light shade adjusting the light reflected by the reflector to provide a required light distribution pattern; and

a projecting lens projecting the required light distribution pattern, wherein the projecting lens is an aspherical lens.
