Patent number: 10448488Abstract: A lighting control module comprises an interface for receiving a dimming setting and a memory for storing the dimming setting. Based on the dimming setting, an output circuit generates a dimming control signal for application to a conventional dimming interface of a lighting driver circuit. For this purpose, power is received from the dimming interface. This provides a simple to use way to implement a controllable brightness, which makes use of a dimming driver but used for a luminaire which does not need to be within a networked dimmable system architecture.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2016Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Marco Haverlag, Peter Alexander Duine, Ralph Antonius Cornelis Braspenning, Marcel Beij, René Van Honschooten, Peter Deixler

Patent number: 9609703Abstract: A lighting controller and method has light sources which are activated for a respective lighting duration in a repeating non-overlapping sequence. The end of the lighting duration for one light source is detected for triggering the switching on of the next light source in the sequence. This provides non-overlapping control of the light sources and provides an efficient and easy to implement the required controller.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2014Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Xianhui Zhang, Marco Haverlag, Jie Fu, Shan Wang, Shu Xu, Peter Alexander Duine, Herman Johannes Gertrudis Gielen, Junhu Liu

Patent number: 8390546Abstract: A display device comprising a light guide (12), a front plate (14), and an intermediate electromechanically operable foil (16). Two electrode layers (22, 23) are arranged on either side of the foil (16) to induce electrostatic forces on the foil (16) and to bring selected portions of the foil into contact with the light guide (12), thereby extracting light from the light guide (12). The second electrode layer (22) is arranged on the opposite side of the light guide (12) with reference to the foil (16), and separated from the light guide (12) by means of a refractive layer (28). As no electrode layer is required on the light guide itself, the light path of rays extracted from the light guide is cleaner, and the absorption of light is reduced. The light guide can have a thickness such that the light extracted from the light guide per unit length is sufficient to allow for line-at-a-time addressing.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2011Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Rambus Inc.Inventors: Ramon Pascal Van Gorkom, Peter Alexander Duine, Volker Schoellmann, Ruediger Johannes Lange, Siebe Tjerk De Zwark

Patent number: 8226254Abstract: A high efficiency lighting system (100) is described that has a small etendue. This can be used, for example, for backlighting a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), projection displays, as well as for general lighting purposes. A portion of the light from a light emitting device die (101) falls onto a fluorescent material (105,106), such as phosphor. Dichroic mirrors (107,109) prevent the light generated by the fluorescent material to return to the light-emitting device. The mirrors may also provide collimation of the generated light and the remainder of the light from the light-emitting device. In this way a high efficiency system is realized because little or no generated light is absorbed and the generated light does not have to travel through a fluorescent material layer and thus has a high chance to go in the desired direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2007Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Ramon Pascal Van Gorkom, Peter Alexander Duine, Hugo Johan Cornelissen
