OPTIC FOR TOUCH-SENSITIVE LIGHT EMITTING DIODE SWITCH
An optic assembly for a light emitting diode mounted to a printed circuit board has a primary lens defined by a primary lens anterior surface and an opposed primary lens rear taper with a tip facing the light emitting diode. A secondary lens with a secondary lens anterior surface and an opposed secondary lens posterior surface faces the printed circuit board. The secondary lens defines a central cavity with the primary lens being disposed therein.
Luminaire
Disclosed is a luminaire such as an LED downlight which is suitable for mounting in ceiling cavities of commercial environments. An example luminaire (200) comprises a light source (202) including an integral primary optic which is configured to transmit light toward a second optic (214). The second optic (214) is a lens configured to receive light from the light source (202) via the primary optic and transmit at least part of the received light toward a circular reflector (201). The circular reflector (201) is configured to direct light received from the second optic (214) away from the luminaire (204). A shape of the second optic (214) is interdependent with a shape of the circular reflector (201), and the shape of the second optic (214) and circular reflector (201) act in combination to transmit light away from the luminaire with a non-circular illuminance distribution (206).

Light source unit, display device, and light source unit manufacturing apparatus
A light source unit and a display device that are further thinned while evenness in brightness on an emission surface is secured are provided. A light source unit and a display device of the present invention include a light source installation surface on which at least one micro light source is installed, a base that is arranged with the light source installation surface and has a light-transmitting property, a reflection pattern that is formed on a first surface of the base positioned on a light source installation surface side based on light distribution characteristics of the at least one micro light source, and a low reflection pattern that is formed in a region of the light source installation surface positioned around the at least one micro light source based on the light distribution characteristics. A reflectivity in the region of the light source installation surface in which the low reflection pattern is formed is less than a reflectivity in a region other than the region in which the low reflection pattern is formed.
Lighting device including a transparent structure
A system can include a light emitting diode (LED) and a transparent structure disposed over the LED. The transparent structure includes a first surface that reflects light extracted from the LED and incident on the first surface. The transparent structure also includes an exit surface opposite the first surface.
