This paper presents a new kind of light emitting diode(LED) secondary light distribution lens which adopts the type of Fresnel lens surface. The research purpose of this paper is to improve the LED heat dissipation efficiency of the secondary light distribution lens and the light efficiency, so as to prolong the service life of the LED. In this paper, we use the numerical method for solving the partial differential equation to establish a freeform surface lens which could produce uniform illumination, then the innovative method of combine the Fresnel lens structure with freeform surface lens was proposed. The design of freeform surface Fresnel lens allows dramatically cut the thickness of the lens (as well as the weight and volume) , it can solve the problem of difficulty in heat dissipation. By comparing the ray tracing simulation results of original freeform surface lens and freeform surface Fresnel lens in optical simulation software, experiments show that the latter not only shows the same degree of illumination uniformity, but also greatly reduced the thickness of the lens.
Adding an extra condition: a general method to design double freeform-surface lens for LED uniform illumination
