A lighting device for film and television for attachment to a light fixture has interconnected preferably trapezoidal panels connected to adjacent panels along opposing ends within a fabric sleeve, the wider edges of the panels connectable to the lighting fixture. Each panel has a corrugated plastic core and fibreglass rods inserted perpendicular to the parallel edges of the panels adjacent a first end, adjacent an opposing second end, and at a medial position. A hinge having attachment means is provided at one end of the extension housing. The device may be folded upon itself to about of its original size and requires no assembly as it is a single unit. Although the enclosure is collapsible, once it is attached to any light fixture it becomes a rigid frame that does not collapse.

LED FLASH RING SURROUNDING CAMERA LENS
20200133094 · 2020-04-30 ·

A flash system for an electronic device includes a ring-shaped light guide having a central opening. A camera lens is positioned in or behind the opening. A first light emitting diode (LED) is mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB), and the LED and PCB are encapsulated by a molded light guide of the flash system. An identical LED and PCB are encapsulated at an opposite end of the molded light guide (i.e., 180 degrees away). The back surfaces of each PCB diffusively reflects light from the LED on the other PCB. Light extraction features on the light guide surface uniformly leak out light from the LEDs. The light emission profile of the light guide has a peak axially aligned with the central opening of the light guide and rolls off to the edge of the camera's field of view.

CAMERA ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
20200096837 · 2020-03-26 ·

The present disclosure provides a camera assembly. The camera assembly includes a camera subassembly, a flash subassembly, a composite plate, and an annular light shielding member. The camera subassembly includes a camera. The flash subassembly includes a flash. The composite plate covers the camera subassembly and the flash subassembly. The composite plate is provided with a first hole enabling ambient lights to pass through the first hole and reach the camera subassembly. The composite plate is provided with a second hole enabling lights emitted from the flash to pass through the second hole and reach outside. The annular light shielding member is disposed on an internal wall of the first hole. The annular light shielding member is configured to prevent the lights emitted from the flash from reaching the camera.
