  • Patent number: 10314136
    Abstract: Disclosed is a drive integrated circuit for controlling a traffic light. The drive IC comprises an input end and an output end, an input low-voltage control circuit, a gain control circuit, a driving circuit, an impedance loop and a phase detection circuit. The input low-voltage control circuit connects to the input end of the drive IC, and receives a first external signal. The gain control circuit connects to the input low-voltage control circuit. The driving circuit connects to the gain control circuit. The impedance loop connects to the input end to detect whether the traffic light is damaged. The phase detection circuit connects to the input end to detect a phase difference of the driving signal. By integrating circuits having different detection and control functions in one single chip, the cost of the drive IC decreases and the traffic light can have a less thick structure.

  • Publication number: 20100165640
    Abstract: An optical member of lighting device is revealed. The optical member consists at least one emergent surface that is a spherical surface or an aspherical surface, and at least one incident surface with a V-shaped groove or a V-shaped like groove. The V-shaped groove is formed by two symmetrical or asymmetrical slants while the V-shaped like groove is formed by a plurality of curves. Moreover, axes of the emergent surface and the incident surface can be overlapped, shift relatively, slanted relatively to each other or combinations of them. When the optical member is used in combination with at least one solid state lighting element, an asymmetrical batwing light distribution pattern that features on non-zero maximum light intensity is generated. Thus the area being emitted is with uniform luminance and the availability of light is improved.
