Abstract: Side-emitting LED (Light emitting diode) modulation lens is proposed here for generating planar lighting source that can be applied in many fields like LCD backlight or general lighting. The light emitted form the LED light source will be modulated by the proposed lens by the mechanism of multi-refraction. The optical simulation tool ASAP was used during the design procedure. Optimal lens dimension was designed to module 70 percent of the emitting energy to the angle range from 70 degree to 110 degree, the angle was calculated from the normal direction of the LED horizontal plane to the direction of the emitting light. The lens prototype was also fabricated and the optical performance was measured to verify the simulation results. Finally, the comparison between the optical simulation and the experiment performances is also disclosed.

Abstract: A wide angle light-deflected lens combining collimation and total internal reflection (TIR) optical mechanics for LED package is proposed. Utilizing angle-dividing method the angle of emitting distribution of LED chip was cut into several angular zones and then a light-collimating curve surface with corresponding declined plane performing TIR for the collimated incident ray was designed. Thereby, the light-deflected lens, consisting of multi pairs of collimating curve surfaces and declined planes, can achieve wide-angle deflection of light emitting from LED chip. The design rule and experiment results of the lens with optimization optical design are demonstrated and discussed in this paper.
