  • Illumination System with Magnetic Mount for Loupes
    Publication number: 20180206935
    Abstract: A headlamp magnetically mounted on a magnifying loupe for use in cosmetic, dental, medical, surgical, hobby and any other fields where an individual would find the ability to simultaneously illuminate and magnify a small area to be advantageous. The headlamp would contain an internal power source, so that there is no longer a need for a cable to connect the headlamp with the bulky external power source that is found in traditional loupe mounted headlamps.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 29, 2018
    Publication date: July 26, 2018
    Applicants: Den-Mat Holdings, LLC, Falcon Development B.V.

  • Baffled micro-optical elements for thin liquid crystal display backlight units
    Patent number: 9507204
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) backlight unit includes a housing, an LED array disposed on a bottom surface of the housing, an optical film stack disposed on the LED array, and a baffled micro-optical element (BMOE) disposed between the LED array and the optical film stack. The thickness of the backlight unit is 12 mm or less, a first portion of light emitted from each LED of the LED array is configured to directly contact the optical film stack and a second portion of light emitting from each LED of the LED array is configured to be reflected off of the BMOE and onto the optical film stack, and the first and second portions of light combine to create surface illuminance on the optical film stack having a uniformity greater than 70%.
