With reference to FIG. 1, similar light-emitting diode (LED) device are being employed in more and more fields. As required by one application, the LED device provides intense and non-divergent light. A known LED device 1 emitting small-light-emitting angle is provided, which meets conditions below: Assume that the optical-axis light L11 moving along the optical axis direction D11 of the known LED device 1 has maximum light intensity, and take 100% light intensity of the optical-axis light L11 as the basis. When light intensity of the deviating light L12 that deviates from the optical axis direction D11 is reduced to 50%, the light-emitting angle A11 between the light direction D12 of each deviating light L12 and the optical axis direction D11 must be less than or equal to 25 degrees (θ1/2≤±25).
With reference to FIG. 2, the known LED device 1 comprises a base 11, a LED chip 12 that generates light on the base 11, a reflective cavity body 13 on the base 11 that surrounds the LED chip 12 and defines a reflective cavity 131 accommodating the LED chip 12, and a lens 14 in the reflective cavity body 13 that seals the reflective cavity 131 and is separated from the LED chip 12. The reflective cavity body 13 has a reflective surface 132 that defines a near-bowl-shaped reflective cavity 131. The lens 14 has a first surface 141 that orients to the LED chip 12 and appears spherical bend, and a second surface 142 opposite to the first surface 141, the section of which appears serrated shape.
This known LED device 1 provides small light-emitting angle light mainly by reflecting the light emitted by the LED chip 12 through the reflective surface 132 and then refracted by the lens 14. However, in addition to high cost of the reflective cavity body 13, the usage of the reflective cavity body 13 also improves package difficulty of the known LED device 1 and increases production cost. To further narrow the light-emitting angle All as required during usage, an existing practice is to increase height H0 of the reflective cavity body 13, which may result in overlarge size of the LED device 1 and limits applications. In addition, this known LED device 1 generates intense stray light that influences other optical components and causes optical interference for other optical components.
