Abstract
A Fresnel lens having a curved surface and a large number of Fresnel lens steps with rectangular cross sections for enhancing the aesthetics while providing a diffuser appearance. The cylindrical Fresnel lens can be uniformly divided into rectangular sections across the lens axis. The rectangular sections are alternative and are offset from the curved surface by a distance, which produces a very parallel output beam. The front face of the cylindrical Fresnel lens provides a square like pattern, which results in an aesthetic appearance with the effective usage of light and reduced production costs.
