    Abstract: A lighting device (100, 300) comprising a housing (101, 301) comprising a polymer material, the housing including an elongated hollow neck portion (102) and a collar portion (104) arranged at an end of the neck portion. The collar portion includes an essentially annular surface (114, 414) surrounding the end of the neck portion peripherally. The collar portion has a metalized surface. The surface is structured into a plurality of electrically conductive pads (118, 318, 418) and the pads are electrically isolated from each other. A plurality of light emitting elements (120, 320, 420) are arranged on the collar portion of the housing. Each of the light emitting elements has a first terminal (128) electrically connected to a first electrically conductive pad (118a, 418a) and a second terminal (124) electrically connected to a second electrically conductive pad (118b, 418b). The collar portion is directly in contact with the surroundings, promoting an improved heat transfer from the light emitting elements.

  • Patent number: 10089924
    Abstract: A system for compensating for non-uniformities in an array of solid state devices in a display panel displays images in the panel, and extracts the outputs of a pattern based on structural non-uniformities of the panel, across the panel, for each area of the structural non-uniformities. Then the structural non-uniformities are quantified, based on the values of the extracted outputs, and input signals to the display panel are modified to compensate for the structural non-uniformities. Random non-uniformities are compensated by extracting low-frequency non-uniformities across the panel by applying patterns, and taking images of the pattern. The area and resolution of the image are adjusted to match the panel by creating values for pixels in the display, and then low-frequency non-uniformities across the panel are compensated, based on the created values.
