Description
- The instant disclosure relates to a light-guiding member and a light bulb having the same; more particularly, to a light-guiding member and light bulb having the same, where the light-emitting diode (LED) is used as the light source.
- LEDs have many advantages such as being more energy efficient, have longer service life, and being brighter, among others. Because of these attributes, LEDs have been adopted progressively for widespread use with lighting devices, such as LED light bulbs.
- Nevertheless, LED light source, such as LED dies, is rather uni-directional and can only project light through a specific light output surface (usually the top surface of a die), thus lighting up only a limited amount of space. This behavior may significantly reduce the brightness, particularly in the lateral direction such as near the conducting cap portion of the light bulb. To address the issue, one of the existing techniques involves using a light-guiding structure to assist with re-distributing the light projections. However, such technique may result in uneven light distribution and cause visual issues for users. Tremendous efforts have been inputted by industrial manufacturers to develop a light bulb capable of providing a wider light projection and uniform brightness.
- To address the above issues, the inventor strives via industrial experience and academic research to present the instant disclosure, which can effectively improve the limitations described above.
- The instant disclosure provides a light-guiding member and a light bulb having the same. The light bulb can achieve a wider light projection and uniform brightness.
- The light bulb comprises a connecting cap, a heat-dissipating seat, a LED module, a light-guiding member, and a bulb. The heat-dissipating seat is arranged on one end of the connecting cap, and the LED module is disposed on the heat-dissipating seat. The light-guiding member is connected to the heat-dissipating seat and covers the LED module. At least one microstructure is formed on the surface of the light-guiding member to change the light projection path. The bulb is disposed over the light-guiding member.
- The instant disclosure also provides a light-guiding member used with a LED module. The distinctive feature of the light-guiding member is the inclusion of at least one microstructure formed on the surface thereof for changing the light projection path. The light-guiding member has a rounded base portion, which is arranged above the LED module.
- Through the microstructure of the light bulb of the instant disclosure, the light projection path of the LED module can be adjusted to provide wider light projection and uniform brightness.
- In order to further appreciate the characteristics and technical contents of the instant disclosure, references are hereunder made to the detailed descriptions and appended drawings in connection with the instant disclosure. However, the appended drawings are merely shown for exemplary purposes, rather than being used to restrict the scope of the instant disclosure.
