LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE
A light source device includes: a light emitting device having an upper face comprising a light emission face; a first lens facing the light emitting device; and a second lens facing the first lens. A lower face of the first lens facing the light emitting device includes an entrance part provided in a center of the lower face where light from the light emitting device enters, and a light guide part provided on an outside of the entrance part to guide the light entering the entrance part. A lower face of the second lens facing the first lens includes a Fresnel lens face composed of a plurality of annular protruding portions.
Dishwasher appliance with a sidefire LED lightguide
A dishwasher appliance includes a user interface panel positioned on a door at a top edge of the door. A circuit board is positioned within the door. A user touch input and a side-fire light emitting diode are mounted to the circuit board. A lightguide is positioned within the door. An inlet of the lightguide is positioned proximate the side-fire light emitting diode, and an outlet of the lightguide positioned below the circuit board. The side-fire light emitting diode is operable to emit light, and the lightguide is configured such that the light from the side-fire light emitting diode is reflected within the lightguide from the inlet of the lightguide to the outlet of the lightguide in order to illuminate an indicator at the outlet of the lightguide with the light from the side-fire light emitting diode.
Electronic Device With Visual Feedback
An electronic device such as a voice-controlled speaker device may have a housing. A speaker and other input-output components and control circuitry may be mounted within the housing. Light-emitting components may emit light that passes through a curved upper top cap portion or other housing structure. The light-emitting components may be interconnected using a flex circuit on a curved substrate or may be mounted on a planar circuit board. A subset of the light-emitting components may be rotated to improve color balance. Optical structures such as light guides, lens, microlenses, and/or a diffuser layer may be disposed over the light-emitting components to promote light mixing, to reduce hotspots, and to improve contrast on the top cap. The diffuser layer may be suspended using a support structure having baffle members to constraint the angular spread of the emitted light. Illuminated or persistently visible glyphs may be displayed in or near the top cap portion.
Luminaire structure
Disclosed is a luminaire structure, comprising at least one light guide segment having opposed surface regions and defining a dimension therebetween. At least one edge region with at least one LED array configured to form an edge-lit optical coupling with the edge region. The light guide segment further includes a first sensor passage extending between the opposed surface regions to receive a sensor. At least one of the light guide segment, the first sensor passage and/or the sensor is configured so that light delivered to the light guide segment through the edge-lit optical coupling illuminates the light guide segment with reduced optical disruption by the presence of the sensor in the first sensor passage, when compared with a non edge-lit optical coupling configuration.
Flexible printed wiring structure for LED light engine
A lighting engine, system, and method of fabrication are described. The system includes a chassis with a ridge extending from a bottom that defines inner and outer cavities. A flexible printed circuit (FPC) is disposed in contact with a wall of the inner and outer cavities and on the ridge top and is connected to wiring retained within bosses in the outer cavity. LEDs are mounted on the FPC to emit light toward a center of the cavity. A light guide disposed has an edge that opposes the LEDs and receives light emitted by the LEDs. The FPC has a polyimide insulator coupled with a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), a copper layer on the polyimide insulator, and a high-reflectivity white coverlay on the copper layer. Other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
LUMINAIRE STRUCTURE
Disclosed is a luminaire including a ceiling mountable housing that defines an inner cartridge-receiving cavity accessible at an opening that is accessible in a healthcare space. A cartridge is provided to be received in the housing. The housing and the cartridge are configured to establish a first NSF-compliant sealing interface formed by at least one first barrier member extending along a first peripheral region between the housing and the cartridge to establish a first NSF-compliant pathogen barrier. The cartridge includes a light output region that is configured to locate an interior light guide and an exterior lens with an optical spacing therebetween. A second NSF-compliant sealing barrier interface is provided between the lens and the light guide formed by at least one second barrier member extending along a second peripheral region between the lens and light guide, and which is configured to establish a second NSF-compliant pathogen barrier therein.
LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE
A light source device includes: a light emitting device having an upper face including a light emission face; and a first lens having a lower face that faces the light emitting device, and an upper face opposite the lower face. The lower face of the first lens includes: an entrance part located in a center of the lower face where light from the light emitting device enters, and a light guide part located outward of the entrance part and configured to guide the light entering the entrance part. The upper face of the first lens includes a plurality of annular protruding portions.
LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE
A light-emitting device includes a board, a light-emitting element mounted on a surface of the board, a support member on which the board is placed, and a cover having a plate shaped main cover body covering the light-emitting element and a tubular portion which receives a light guide body that guides light emitted from the light-emitting element. The main cover body includes a base, a protrusion protruding from the base toward the board, and a ridge disposed on a protruded end of the protrusion. A step is formed by the protrusion and the ridge, and the protrusion and the ridge extend in a same direction along the base.

LED light engine features
A lighting engine, system and method of fabrication are described. The engine contains a chassis having a side wall and bottom surface that define a cavity. A recess is formed in the bottom surface. A flexible printed circuit (FPC) is on the side wall and LEDs are mounted on the FPC to emit light toward a center of the cavity. A light guide positioned within the cavity receives light emitted by the LEDs through an edge of the light guide. A gasket disposed within the recess is in contact with a first surface of the light guide. A reflector within the cavity is adjacent to a second surface of the light guide opposite the first surface of the light guide. A backplate is attached to the chassis and configured to seal the cavity. Other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
