Patent number: 10480754Abstract: An illumination device includes: a laser light source; a cylindrical body disposed such that light emitted from the laser light source enters the cylindrical body at a first end portion side of the cylindrical body and passes through the cylindrical body; a reflector disposed so as to reflect light passing through the cylindrical body; and a ring assembly comprising a ring-shaped inner circumferential surface configured to reflect and propagate light from the reflector. The reflector includes: a first reflecting surface configured to reflect a first portion of light emitted from the laser light source, and a second reflecting surface configured to reflect a second portion of light emitted from the laser light source. The ring assembly further includes a fluorescent surface adapted to emit fluorescence by light reflected and propagated at the inner circumferential surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: NICHIA CORPORATIONInventors: Keiichi Gomi, Takanori Aruga

Publication number: 20190334321Abstract: A light source module includes a light source and a first optical element. The light source is configured to emit first and second light beams. The first optical element has a first surface on which the first second light beam are to be incident. The first light beam and the second light beam are incident on the first surface along a first direction such that the first light beam is incident at a first position on the first surface and the second light beam is incident at a second position on the first surface. The first light beam has a first width in a second direction intersecting the first direction on the first surface, and a second width in a third direction intersecting a plane including the first direction and the second direction on the first surface. The first width is greater than the second width. The second light beam has a third width in the second direction on the first surface, and a fourth width in the third direction on the first surface. The third width is greater than the fourth width.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2019Publication date: October 31, 2019Applicant: NICHIA CORPORATIONInventor: Takanori Aruga
