Abstract: An LED lamp device includes a light emitting element that emits light in a blue-based or violet-based color, an LED having a fluorescent material that emits fluorescent light in a yellow to yellow-green-based color in response to light received from the light emitting element, a lens having a light incident surface to which light emitted from the LED comes in and a convex lens part that radiates incident light, and a light shielding member provided on the light radiation side of the LED, having an opening, and made of a non-transmitting material to light from the LED. The member externally radiates light from the LED radiated through the lens from the opening and cuts the peripheral part of the light from the LED. Therefore, illumination light with no color irregularity in yellow observed around the illumination region can be provided, and a lamp device suitable for illumination can be provided.

Abstract: An LED lamp apparatus comprises LED, a circuit member, and a case member. The case member has an LED seat for holding the LED. The circuit member has metal plates embedded in the case member. The metal plates have LED connection members exposed from the case member. The LED connection members have been resistance welded respectively to leads of the LED.

Abstract: An illuminating device is installed at an outer side surface of a rear side door of a vehicle for illuminating a road surface section beside a front side door of the vehicle. The device is accommodated in a rear side molding secured to the outer side surface of the rear side door. The light source of the illuminating device radiates light along a linear optical path extending diagonally downward from a portion of the outer side surface of the rear side door in which the light source is installed to the road surface section beside the front side door. Further, the illuminating device includes a prism lens for refracting the light of the light source outwardly and away from the outer side surface of the vehicle body. This enables the device to effectively illuminate the road surface section beside the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention is directed to provide a vehicle interior illumination device which has a high illuminating effect and which can be used for various kinds of illumination in a vehicle. The illumination device disposed in a roof portion of the interior of a vehicle, including: a first light-emitting section having a first light source constituted by a plurality of first LEDs disposed at substantially regular spaces; and a second light-emitting section having a second light source constituted by a second LED, and a second outer lens with which a light emission side of the second light source is covered and by which light emitted from said second light source is converged and radiated out.

Abstract: A light-release side of a light-emitting element having a main emission peak wavelength in a wavelength range of not longer than 500 nm is covered with a sealing resin containing organic fluorescent substance-containing silicone as an additive.

Abstract: In the head-protecting airbag device according to the present invention, an airbag is folded and arranged inside a vehicle from a front pillar on to a roof side rail in the upper peripheries of a plurality of side windows while being covered by an airbag cover. The airbag inflates when fed with inflation gas, pushes open a door portion formed in the lower periphery of the airbag cover, and then protrudes for covering the side windows. The airbag cover is located below a roof head lining and formed separately from the roof head lining. The airbag cover includes a plurality of parts split in the front-rear direction. The split part located foremost covers the interior side of the front pillar, and is extensively located up to an area rearward of an intersection of the front pillar and the roof side rail. Therefore, the head-protecting airbag device of the present invention has an improved appearance in the side of the front seat.

Abstract: A light-emitting device has two light-emitting element. In a substrate portion of the light-emitting device having a first internal positive electrode connected to the positive electrode side of a first light-emitting element, a first internal negative electrode connected to the negative electrode side of the first light-emitting element, a second internal positive electrode connected to the positive electrode side of a second light-emitting element, and a second internal negative electrode connected to the negative electrode side of the second light-emitting element, these electrodes are provided so that homopolar electrodes are disposed diagonally.

Abstract: A light emitting apparatus has: a plurality of surface mount device (SMD) type light emitting diode elements; a circuit board on which the plurality of SMD type light emitting diode elements are mounted; and a plurality of convex lenses each of which covers the light extraction side of corresponding one of the plurality of SMD type light emitting diode elements. The lens optical axis of at least one of the plurality of convex lenses does not coincide with an axis that passes through the center of corresponding one of the plurality of SMD type light emitting diode elements and is perpendicular to the circuit board.

Abstract: This invention is to offer an indication system and method of a meter part having excellent visibility and designing property. Alight is irradiated from the first light source toward the indicating panel from the side of the indicating face for making the background part of the indicating panel luminous with a complementary color to a color indicating the indicator part of pointers, graduations, numerals and others.

Abstract: A casing accommodates therein three primary colors of chip LEDs. The casing is disposed in a through hole of a plate-shaped light guide. The chip LEDs are mounted on both surfaces of a substrate so as to face a peripheral surface of the through hole (light incident surface). The casing is made of a transparent synthetic resin accommodating therein the substrate and the chip LEDs. The light emitted from the chip LEDs can be introduced directly into the light incident surface of the light guide. The three primary color of chip LEDs are controlled so that a desired color and intensity of light can be efficiently introduced into the light guide.

Abstract: In the illumination device of tho invention, an LED is oppose to a side surface of a flat light guide member. A light shield surface for shielding light from the LED and emitted toward the backside of the guide member in vicinity of the LED on the backside of the light guide member.
