Patent ID: 8104910

Claim:
A light emitting device comprising: a plurality of light emitting diodes for emitting light in a predetermined direction; a plurality of sealing resins sealing the light emitting diodes and having a disposition surface; and a lens body formed in substantially a shape of a flat plate between the plurality of light emitting diodes for guiding the light emitted from the light emitting diodes in a predetermined direction, the lens body being disposed in a state of extending over the disposition surface of each sealing resin, the lens body including a plurality of concave portions, each of the plurality of concave portions centered above each of the plurality of light emitting diodes, each the plurality of concave portions being surrounded by the convex portions raised above the lens body surface, wherein the lens body includes a plurality of lens parts for sending out the light emitted from the light emitting diodes, a plurality of light guiding parts for reflecting the light emitted from the light emitting diodes between surfaces of the light guiding parts, the plurality of lens parts and the plurality of light guiding parts of the lens body formed integrally with each other, the lens parts disposed over the respective disposition surfaces of the sealing resins, and a plurality of light emitting function parts for sending out the light reflected by the inside surfaces of the light guiding parts formed in one or more of the surfaces of the light guiding parts.
