  • Patent number: 9612386
    Abstract: A luminous glazing unit includes a glass substrate, an additional element that is tinted an optical isolator between the glass substrate and the additional element, a light source, optically coupled to the glass substrate, and a light-extracting device associated with the glass substrate. The optical isolator includes a low-index film, made of fluoropolymer-based material which: has a refractive index n2 at 550 nm such that n1-n2 is at least 0.08, has a thickness e2 of at least 600 nm, is in optical contact with the first main face by a first lamination interlayer, based on a thermoplastic material.

  • Patent number: 8408726
    Abstract: An illumination module includes a light mixing cavity with an interior surface area and window that are physically separated from an LED. A portion of the window is coated with a first wavelength converting material and a portion of the interior surface area is coated with a second wavelength converting material. The window may be coated with LuAG:Ce. The window may also be coated with a third wavelength converting material with a peak emission wavelength between 615-655 nm where the spectral response of light emitted from the window is within 20% of a blackbody radiator at the same CCT. The LED may emit a light that is converted by the light mixing cavity with a color conversion efficiency ratio greater than 130 lm/W where the light mixing cavity includes two photo-luminescent materials with a peak emission wavelengths between 508-528 nm and 615-655 nm.
