Abstract: A decorative lamp includes a shell and a light emitting body. The shell includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a through hole extending through the first and second ends. The light emitting body is positioned in the through hole of the shell. A first portion of the light emitting body extends into the through hole, and a second portion of the light emitting body extends out of the shell. An outer side wall of the shell includes at least two stepped structures.
Abstract: A light guide pointer and a light emitting pointer device which can reduce luminance unevenness at a light emitting face are provided. A lower face of a main pointer portion includes a separating face extending away from a light emitting face, thus light reflected by a front inclined portion of a light control space, that is not likely to travel in a direction away from the light emitting face, is not likely to reach to a corner which is a boundary between the separating face and a recessed portion. Consequently, light is not likely to be reflected by the corner between the separating face and the recessed portion, thereby preventing luminance to be partially high at the light emitting face and thereby reducing luminance unevenness.

Abstract: Wide-area solid-state illumination devices and systems employing a thin and flexible sheet of an optically transmissive material having at least one broad-area surface patterned with light scattering surface microstructures such as microdots of a non-absorbing UV curable ink. Light is input into the thin and flexible sheet using a number of compact solid-state light sources, such as LEDs, optically coupled to one or more edges or to one or two of the broad-area surfaces defining the thin and flexible sheet. Each surface microstructure forms a semi-opaque layer that extracts light from the thin and flexible sheet and causes light emission from both opposing broad-area surfaces of the sheet.
