Single Edge Lit Lighting Module With Bi-Lobed Light Distribution
A single edge lit lighting module is disclosed which produces tailored light distributions valuable in many illumination applications. The lighting module comprises a unique light scattering optical element which is aligned with one or more LED light sources along one of its edges and works in combination with configured reflective surfaces. Light distributions attainable using the invention include, but are not limited to, symmetric and asymmetric bi-lobed “batwing” distributions for wide area direct and indirect lighting, and tilted or asymmetric distributions for perimeter lighting. It is also possible to achieve more rounded and symmetric distributions by an additional diffuser as a cover lens. The invention's unique single edge lit construction provides the means for achieving the lighting distributions without the need for conventional two lit edges and within a compact form factor with narrow width. The invention is particularly well-suited for linear lighting fixtures that are surface mounted, suspended or recessed. Various embodiments also provide means for adjusting light distributions dynamically to control light output characteristics by controlling the input signals to the LED board included in the assembly.
STRETCHABLE SHEET-FORM ELECTRONIC DISPLAYS
A stretchable sheet-form electronic display having a generally rectangular shape with four edges, a thickness of less than 1.5 mm, and a longer dimension of at least 100 mm. The stretchable sheet-form electronic display includes an elastic substrate sheet comprising a thin layer of an optically transmissive material having a relatively high elastic range, a grid of flexible connecting members and a two-dimensional array of at least 100,000 digitally addressable solid-state light emitting devices such as micro OLEDs or LEDs. At least some of the solid-state light emitting devices may be arranged into light emitting clusters and directly or indirectly mounted to a plurality of support pads. The solid-state light emitting devices within the clusters may be configured for emitting light in different colors such as blue, red, and green.
Light emitting device and backlight including the light emitting device
A light emitting device includes at least three light emitting elements arranged side by side, and one or more light transmissive members each containing a phosphor and covering the light emitting elements. The at least three light emitting elements include two outer light emitting elements arranged on outer sides, and an inner light emitting element arranged between the two outer light emitting elements and having a different peak emission wavelength than a peak emission wavelength of the two outer light emitting elements. The phosphor has a longer peak emission wavelength than the peak emission wavelengths of the outer light emitting elements and the peak emission wavelength of the inner light emitting element. The two outer light emitting elements and the inner light emitting element are connected in series.
PLANAR LIGHT SOURCE WITH THROUGH HOLE AND ADJUSTING MEMBERS
A planar light source includes a light guide member having a through hole, a light source, a first light adjusting member, a second light adjusting member, and a light transmissive member. The first light adjusting member having reflectivity and transmissivity with respect to light from the light source is disposed on or above an upper face of the light source in the through hole. The second light adjusting member having reflectivity and transmissivity with respect to the light from the light source is disposed above and apart from the first light adjusting member. The first light transmissive member having a higher transmissivity with respect to the light from the light source than the transmissivities of the first and second light adjusting members is disposed between the first light adjusting member and the second light adjusting member, and between a lateral face of the light source and the light guide member.
BACK PLATE UNIT AND BACKLIGHT MODULE OF DISPLAY DEVICE
A back plate unit includes a back plate having opposite first and second sides, an optical member mounted to the back plate, and a buffer assembly disposed between the optical member and the back plate and including at least one first buffer member disposed on the first side and made of a thermoplastic material, and at least one second buffer member disposed on the second side and made of a thermoset material. The at least one first buffer member and the optical member are deformed when heated, and the at least one first buffer member is squeezed and compressed by expansion of the optical member. A backlight module of a display device is also disclosed.
Surface light emitting illumination device using separate LED strips
Provided is a surface light emitting illumination device including: a light guide panel on which a fine pattern is formed; a channel that includes a pair of first and second channels inside an edge of the light guide panel, and a third channel that connects the first and second channels; first and second LED strips inserted in the first and second channels, in which a plurality of LED chips are mounted on a flexible substrate; an electric wire inserted in the third channel to connect the first and second LED strips; first and second fixing bands inserted in the first and second channels to fix the first and second LED so that the first and second LED strips are not separated from the first and second channels; and a channel communication part formed in a side wall of the light guide panel to communicate with the first channel.
Combined surface mount standoff and LED for space constrained applications
A combination standoff and LED includes a surface mount solder standoff which can be either threaded or unthreaded, and a surface mount LED disposed and fixed in the center of the base of the standoff. The combination standoff and LED is adapted to receive a lightpipe via the either threaded or unthreaded portion of the surface mount solder standoff. This combination standoff and LED results in a single piece of hardware which simplifies the physical PCBA layout design and removes any Computer Aided Design (CAD) placement errors that would normally be present if two separate hardware components were placed together manually.
Backlight assembly and display device including the same
A backlight assembly and a display device including the backlight assembly include a light source which emits light, a light guide plate disposed adjacent to the light source and which receives the light emitted from the light source, a light source supporter including a bottom plane including a first region and a second region, and a first receiving unit including a bottom surface and a side wall. The light source and the light guide plate are disposed on the first region of the bottom plane, the second region extends from a portion of the first region on which the light source is disposed, the bottom surface is disposed opposite the light guide plate, and the side wall is disposed at an end portion of the bottom surface along a direction perpendicular to a plane defined by the bottom surface.
HOUSEHOLD LIGHTING LAMP AND CONTROL METHOD FOR HOUSEHOLD LIGHTING LAMP
