Disclosed herein is a light emitting diode (LED) device. The light emitting diode device comprises a package formed with a terminal for applying an electrical signal, one or more LED chips mounted on the package such that the LED chips are electrically connected to the terminal, a lens formed to surround the LED chips on the package for changing path of light emitted from the LED chips to the horizontal direction with the difference of the refraction rates of the media, and a reflector formed on the lens for reflecting the light, emitted above the lens without being refracted in the horizontal direction at the lens, to the horizontal direction. The LED device reflects the light, which is deviated from the optical design range of the lens and emitted above the lens, back to the lens, thereby preventing the hot spot from being generated, and enhancing horizontal emission efficiency of the light.

Structure of LED decoration lighting set
InactiveUS20050052885A1Wide viewing angleUniform brightnessPoint-like light sourceDwelling equipmentLight equipmentLight beam
This invention relates to the functional features of lighting devices, particularly, the structure of refractors of an LED decoration lighting set. It is composed of a decorative part made of transparent materials and an illuminant. The illuminant is activated by an external power supply and is incorporated into the decorative part. Bubbles are found uniformly and densely in the decorative part in a region which intersects the light emitted from the illuminant. The bubbles enable the decorative part to become a combination of a spherical concave and convex lens. When the light emitted from the light-emitting part is transmitted to the decorative part, a large amount of non-sequential diversion, conversion, refraction and reflection will take place to significantly change the original transmission path of the light beam. This solves the problem of the small viewing angle of a traditional LED decoration lighting set.
