Abstract

An LED includes a base, a plurality of chips, a first lens made of a first light penetrable material and a second lens made of a second light penetrable material. The base has a concave depression. The chips are mounted at a bottom of the concave depression. The first lens is received in the depression for encapsulating the chips. The second lens is received in the depression and located on the first lens. The second lens includes a light input surface facing the chips and a plurality of recesses defined in the light input surface corresponding to the chips. Each recess has an internal wall with an uneven surface.

Claims

1. An LED comprising:

a base having a concave depression;

a plurality of chips mounted at a bottom of the concave depression;

a first lens made of a first light penetrable material being received in the depression and encapsulating the chips; and

a second lens made of a second light penetrable material being received in the depression and located on the first lens, the second lens including a light input surface facing the chips and a plurality of recesses defined in the light input surface corresponding to the chips.

2. The LED of claim 1, wherein the chips are arranged in an array and the recesses are arranged in an array similar to that of the chips so that the recesses respectively correspond to the chips in a vertical direction.

3. The LED of claim 1, wherein an internal wall of each of the recesses has an uneven surface.

4. The LED of claim 1, wherein the second lens includes a light output surface opposite to the light input surface and facing outside, and the light output surface has a convex contour and protrudes upwardly towards an outside of the LED.

5. The LED of claim 1, wherein the second light penetrable material has a refractive index smaller than that of the first penetrable material and larger than that of ambient air.

6. The LED of claim 1, wherein the second light penetrable material has a melting point lower than that of the first light penetrable material.

7. The LED of claim 1, wherein the depression has a trapeziform cross section, the depression includes a flat bottom wall and a sidewall expanding upwardly from a periphery of the bottom wall.

8. The LED of claim 7, wherein the first lens has a trapeziform cross section similar to that of the depression, the first lens has a flat top surface, and the light input surface is flat.

9. An LED comprising:

a plurality of chips;

a first lens encapsulating the plurality of chips, the first lens comprising an emitting surface for passing of light rays of the plurality of chips through the first lens; and

a second lens having an incident surface attaching to the emitting surface of the first lens and an opposite emitting surface facing an outside of the LED, the incident surface of the second lens defining a recess having an uneven surface at a portion over each of the plurality of chips.

10. The LED of claim 9, wherein the second lens has a refractive index smaller than that of the first lens and larger than that of ambient air.

11. The LED of claim 10, wherein the second lens has a melting temperature higher than that of the first lens.
