  • Publication number: 20160356451
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light source and a lens. The lens includes a light emitting surface, a top surface, four edge surfaces, and a bottom surface. The light emitting surface includes a central recess and two convex regions connecting the central recess at opposite sides. The light emitting surface is symmetrical about the central recess. The lens further defines a receiving space in the bottom surface and four positioning pins on the bottom surface. The receiving space includes a light incident surface. The two convex regions of the light emitting surface and the light incident surface are non-spherical surfaces. A maximum distance, dn, between the light source and the light incident surface is larger than a maximum distance, Dm, between the light incident surface and the light emitting surface. The light emitting device provides a wide-angle light distribution.

  • Patent number: 9226354
    Abstract: An LED lighting device includes a slave driving stage and a master driving stage. The slave driving stage includes a first luminescent device and a first current controller for providing a constant current setting in an ON phase. The master driving stage includes a second luminescent device and a current control unit having a second current controller and a current envelope controller. The second current controller provides a current envelope in the ON phase. The current envelope controller sets a level of the current envelope according to a rectified AC voltage. The driving current is regulated by the first current controller according to the constant current setting when the constant current setting is smaller than the level of the current envelope, or by the second current controller according to the current envelope when the level of the current envelope is smaller than the constant current setting.

  • Patent number: 9134001
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp color-changing device includes a bracket, a swinging unit mounted to the bracket and swingable about an imaginary axis, and a rotary driving unit. The swinging unit includes a colored lens and an eccentric member disposed offset from the imaginary axis. The rotary driving unit has a rotary drive mounted to the bracket, a swingable arm connected with the rotary drive, and a pulling rod connected with the swingable arm and the eccentric member pivotally. In this way, the swingable arm is drivenable by the rotary drive to drive the pulling rod to move the eccentric member and thereby cause the swinging unit to swing in a way that the colored lens is swingable between an active position and an inactive position. As a result, the vehicle lamp color-changing device responds fast and is small-sized so as to be easily arranged in the vehicle lamp.
