  • Patent number: 12287506
    Abstract: An illumination device for a display screen operable in an open-viewing mode B1 and a restricted-viewing mode B2 where light is emitted in a limited angular range. It includes a backlight emitting the limited-angular-range light, a plate-shaped light guide with large surfaces and narrow connecting sides in front of the backlight in a viewing direction. The light guide has outcoupling elements on the surfaces or within its volume, and is at least 50% transparent to backlight light. Outcoupling elements have a function surface for coupling out light guide light. Illuminants are arranged laterally of the narrow sides. The backlight is on and the illuminants off in mode B2, and the illuminants are on in mode B1. Some outcoupling elements have a structure causing scattering in a preferential direction that is stronger by a factor of at least 1.2 than in a direction perpendicular to the preferential direction, yielding anisotropic scattering.

  • Patent number: 12264812
    Abstract: A production lamp is provided with a removeable lighting module. The removeable lighting module includes an array of LEDs mounted to a plate. A cooling module circulates fluid through a plate behind the array of LEDs to dissipate heat. A driver module generates variable signals to power each of the LEDs in the array to create myriad color output of highly variable intensity. Dripless fluid connectors mounted to the plate connect the cooling module in fluid communication with the plate. Movable pins mounted in the plate electrically connect the LED array to the driver module. Finally, a tool-less actuator mounted in the removeable lighting module disconnects both the dripless connectors and the pins for removal and replacement of the LED module.
