  • Patent number: 10365413
    Abstract: A method for producing a device wherein, in a first production step, a translucent substrate is prepared, and wherein, in a second production step, a transparent material is printed onto the translucent substrate by a printing method. In the second production step, applications in the form of droplets of transparent material are arranged on the translucent substrate. In the second production step, an element which is formed from multiple applications and further applications is generated. The droplets to generate the element are deposited circularly in concentric rings, and the outermost deposited droplets have a first diameter, and the droplets deposited at a center have a second diameter that is different from the first diameter to build up a lens-like light-directing structure.
    Type: Grant
