  • Publication number: 20070139737
    Abstract: A luminous apparatus capable of adjusting the luminance is equipped in a scanner. Before mounting the luminous apparatus in the scanner, a detective device is used for detecting luminance generated from the luminous apparatus. The luminous apparatus contains the electroluminescent elements, the branching levers, and the main lever. One end of each electroluminescent element is pivoted by a pivot while the other end is connected to one branching lever correspondingly. The main lever is connected to those branching levers. When the main lever is moved by an external force, the branching levers are moved and the electroluminescent elements synchronous rotate around their own pivots. Additionally, the positions of the main lever and the electroluminescent elements are fixed when a uniform luminance is detected.

  • Patent number: 7201494
    Abstract: A lighting system capable of adjusting color temperature is provided. The lighting system mainly comprises a light source module and a mixing assembly. The light source module produces red-color, blue-color, and green-color lights so as to control the color temperature of a white light resulted from mixing the color lights. The mixing assembly is located at a side of the light source module and comprises a first, a second, and a third mixing device sequentially arranged along the light transmission path. The function of the first and third mixing devices is for light mixing by causing the lights to undergo multiple internal reflections. The second mixing device directs the lights passing through the first mixing device in a reverse direction (180 degrees) and enters into the third mixing device.
