Abstract
A side-emitting LED lens includes a bottom surface having an incident surface through which light from the LED enters, a top surface that reflects light, and a side surface which connects the bottom surface to the top surface, and through which light exits the lens. Within the incident surface, a central area directs light emitted from the LED to the top surface by refracting the light in a direction away from the optical axis, whereby the height of the lens can be reduced. A surrounding area connected to the central area directs light emitted from the LED to the top surface by refracting the light in a direction toward the optical axis, whereby the width or radius of the lens can be reduced.
