F21V7/24
Display device
Disclosed herein are a backlight unit and a display device using the same. In an embodiment, the backlight unit includes a substrate, at least one light source on the substrate, a lenses placed over the light source, a reflection sheet in which at least one through hole corresponding to the lens is formed, and a reflection ring comprising an opening portion corresponding to the at least one light source, and placed between the lens and the substrate. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, luminance uniformity of the backlight unit can be improved because the reflection ring surrounding the light source is included.
MICROLED WITH INTEGRATED CONTROLLABLE BEAM STEERING AND/OR SHAPING
The disclosed examples relate to various implementations of a micro-light emitting diode upon which is built a controllable variable optic to provide a chip-scale light emitting device. An example of the controllable variable optic described herein is a controllable electrowetting structure having a leak-proof sealed cell with a first fluid having a first index of refraction and a second fluid having a second index of refraction. The controllable electrowetting structure may be integrally formed on or in a substrate or semiconductor material associated with the micro-light emitting diode in alignment with one or more of the light emitting diodes of the micro-LED device to provide a controllable lighting distribution.
Recessed Enclosure for a Light Source
A recessed enclosure (100) for a light source (01). The recessed enclosure (100) includes a housing (102) having a mounting fixture for fitting a light source (01) thereon. A lid frame (104) has an opening (106) configured thereon emitting light from the light source (01). The lid frame (104) includes a first gasket (108) provided in a first groove (105), configured on the lid frame (102). A transparent body (110) is nested with the first gasket (108) for reflecting light emitted by the light source (01). Retainer clips (112) are provided along the longitudinal edges of the first groove (105) to compress and seal the first gasket (108) to prevent ingress of dust and moisture through the opening (106). Three fasteners (114) securely attach the lid frame (104) to the housing (102).
Daylight redirecting window film employing embedded microstructures
A daylight redirecting window film having a layered structure with a total thickness of less than one millimeter and having a first optically transmissive film, a second optically transmissive film approximately coextensive with the first optically transmissive film, an intermediate layer of a relatively soft optically transmissive material disposed between the first and second optically transmissive films, a parallel array of linear three-dimensional structures formed in a space between the first and second optically transmissive films, a layer of an optically transmissive adhesive coating a surface of the first optically transmissive film, and a two-dimensional pattern of light scattering surface microstructures formed in an outer surface of the second optically transmissive film. The parallel array of linear three-dimensional structures defines a parallel array of linear channels, and each of the linear three-dimensional structures has a total internal reflection wall extending transversely through a portion of the layered structure.

Highly efficient medical headlamp
A high-efficiency lamp, emitting light from a front surface, and having a high-efficiency light source, producing a first light beam. An iris assembly has an annular body that defines a first annulus and has iris blades which can be extended into the annulus to form a second, smaller, annulus. This iris assembly is positioned relative to the light source so that the iris blades are in front of the high-efficiency light source. The annular body and therefore the first annulus have finite depth from back to front. A light guide is placed immediately behind the iris blades and defines a channel that is open at its back and its front and has a reflective interior surface, with the open back being transversely coincident to the light source so that light from the light source can travel through the channel to and out from the open front.

BACKLIGHT UNIT
The present invention relates to a backlight unit for use in a display device. The backlight unit includes a circuit board, at least one light-emitting diode chip mounted on the circuit board, a plurality of reflection members arranged on the upper part of the light-emitting diode chip, and a light diffusing member. The light diffusing member has an incident surface on which light enters and an emitting surface from which light is emitted. The light diffusing member is arranged on the upper part of the circuit board. The plurality of reflection members are stacked on each other and reflect a part of light emitted from the upper surface of the light-emitting diode chip.
