LIGHT MODULE AND LIGHTING DEVICE HAVING SAME
A lighting module disclosed in an embodiment comprises: a substrate; a light-emitting element arranged on the substrate; and a resin member arranged on the substrate and the light-emitting element. The resin member comprises a plurality of side surfaces and an exit surface on the upper portion thereof. The plurality of side surfaces of the resin member comprise a first side surface adjacent to the light emitting device, a second side surface facing the first side surface, and third and fourth side surfaces arranged between the first and second side surfaces so as to face each other. The exit surface of the resin member comprises a light extraction structure having a large length in a first direction and having a concavo-convex pattern in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. The light emitting device comprises an exit area corresponding to a part of the second side surface in the first direction. The thickness of the second side surface, in connection with the resin member, may be smaller than the thickness of the first side surface.
Vehicle lighting device with optical waveguides
A lighting device includes a series of optical waveguides, each optical waveguide being adapted to guide light rays between an entry face and an exit face, the optical waveguides being formed of a first subassembly and a second subassembly produced separately and each including a portion of the series of optical waveguides and including structural elements to retain the optical waveguides in position. The first subassembly and the second subassembly are adapted to be assembled to form the lighting device by cooperation of the structural elements, and the first subassembly includes a first structural element adapted to connect proximal ends of the optical waveguides and a second structural element distinct from the first structural element and adapted to connect distal ends of the optical waveguides.
LED lighting device
LED lighting devices are provided that include two optical waveguides and at least one LED in an intermediate region between end faces of the optical waveguides so that radiation from the LED is coupled into the optical waveguides through the end faces. A de-coupler is on outer circumferential surface regions of each of the two separate optical waveguides. The de-coupler reflects the radiation guided in the optical waveguides so that the radiation passes through the optical waveguides and is coupled out of the optical waveguides laterally. The intermediate region has a length that is selected so that a brightness difference, measured perpendicular to an axis of the optical waveguides in the center of the intermediate region, at a distance of 10 mm perpendicular to the axis of the optical waveguides is at most 25% based on a maximum value of brightness along the axis of the optical waveguides.
Fiber optic light panel with homogeneous light output
