Patent number: 10473287Abstract: A daytime running lamp for being retrofitted on a road vehicle, comprising a reflector with a reflective surface for reflecting light in a general direction of illumination and a plurality of light sources arranged in a pattern having an extension along a horizontal axis. The light emitted by the plurality of light sources has directional components in two opposite horizontal directions along the horizontal axis and a directional component in a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal axis. The reflective surface has a curvature such that the directional component in the vertical direction is directed towards the general direction of illumination, and the directional component in at least one of the horizontal directions upon reflection in the reflective surface is substantially unchanged by the reflection.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Hua Bing Zheng, Albrecht Johannes Kraus, Matthias Daniel Epmeier

Patent number: 10060593Abstract: A daytime running lamp (1) for being retrofitted on a road vehicle, comprising a reflector (4) with a reflective surface (5) for reflecting light in a general direction (I) of illumination and a plurality of light sources (3) arranged in a pattern having an extension along a horizontal axis (A). The light emitted by the plurality of light sources (3) has directional components in two opposite horizontal directions (H1, H2) along the horizontal axis (A) and a directional component in a vertical direction (V) perpendicular to the horizontal axis (A). The reflective surface (5) has a curvature such that the directional component in the vertical direction (V) is directed towards the general direction (I) of illumination, and the directional component in at least one of the horizontal directions (H1, H2) upon reflection in the reflective surface (5) is substantially unchanged by the reflection.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Hua Bing Zheng, Albrecht Johannes Kraus, Matthias Daniel Epmeier

Patent number: 8506144Abstract: The invention provides a car lighting unit (1) comprising a reflector (10) and a light source (20) arranged to generate light (21). The reflector (10) circumferentially surrounds the light source and the reflector has a reflector opening (11). The reflector is arranged to reflect at least part of the light from the light source through the reflector opening. The car lighting unit further comprises a 3D hologram (30). The car lighting unit is constructed to generate a beam of light (22) and a holographic 3D image (31), using light from the light source (20).Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2008Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Lingli Wang, Augustinus Gregorius Henricus Meijers, Nils Benter, Ludo Haenen, Matthias Daniel Epmeier

Patent number: 8410500Abstract: Proposed is a light-emitting apparatus 200,300,400, comprising a semiconductor light emitting device 220,320,420 and a transparent ceramic body 230,330,430 comprising a wavelength converting material positioned in light receiving relationship to the semiconductor device. The light-emitting apparatus is characterized in that the side surfaces 233,333,433 of the ceramic body 230,330,430 are at an oblique angle 234,334,434 relative its bottom surface 231,331,431. This is especially advantageous to unlock the wave-guide modes inside the body 230,330,430. Consequently the total flux emitted from the light-emitting apparatus 200,300,400 can be enhanced considerably. Alternatively, the brightness of the top surface 232,332,432 of the ceramic body 230,330,430 can be enhanced considerably.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2007Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Joseph Ludovicus Antonius Maria Sormani, Egbert Lenderink, Matthias Daniel Epmeier, Aldegonda Lucia Weijers

Publication number: 20110019432Abstract: The invention relates to a projection module for a headlamp, in particular a motor vehicle headlamp, comprising a light source, which is arranged inside a reflector housing, and which illuminates a projection lens, wherein means are arranged to display a sharp light-dark boundary. The means are integrated into the reflector (2) in such a way that they do not project into the beam path of the light source (1). The invention also relates to a motor vehicle headlamp comprising a projection module of this type.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2009Publication date: January 27, 2011Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventor: Matthias Daniel Epmeier
