Patent number: 8382328Abstract: A lighting device includes an optical lens, a scattering layer mounted on an outer surface of the optical lens, and a lighting module mounted on the optical lens and emitting a plurality light beams which are reflected and/or refracted by the optical lens and are reflected and/or refracted by the scattering layer. Thus, the light beams of the lighting module are initially reflected and/or refracted by the optical lens and are then reflected and/or refracted by the scattering layer so that the light beams of the lighting module are distributed in a two-stage manner by the optical lens and the scattering layer and are scattered and diverged in different angles and directions evenly and smoothly so as to provide a fully developed lighting effect, thereby enhancing the lighting efficiency of the lighting device.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2010Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Dong Guan Bright Yinhuey Lighting Co., Ltd.

Patent number: 8376585Abstract: A system for illuminating an object is provided, the system comprising a coherent or semi-coherent light source and a first diffuser positioned relative to the coherent or semi-coherent light source so as to receive said coherent or semi-coherent light. The first diffuser may diffuse the light to produce diffused light. An actuator having a moveable element, such as a moveable reflective surface, may be positioned to project the diffused light onto an object, and may be moved to project light onto different portions of the object. This movement may be performed with such rapidity that it is not perceived by a person viewing the object. Rather, the entire object would appear to be illuminated. Movement of the element may be controlled by a computer, and may be performed according to a predefined routine.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2009Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Inventor: Raymond A. Noeth

Publication number: 20130038736Abstract: Disclosed is an optical unit wherein a rotating reflector rotates about a rotation axis in one direction, while reflecting light emitted from a light source. The rotating reflector is provided with a reflecting surface such that the light reflected by the rotating reflector, while rotating, forms a desired light distribution pattern, said light having been emitted from the light source. The light source is composed of light emitting elements. The rotation axis is provided within a plane that includes an optical axis and the light source. The rotating reflector is provided with, on the periphery of the rotation axis, a blade that functions as the reflecting surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2011Publication date: February 14, 2013Applicant: KOITO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventor: Satoshi Yamamura
