  • Publication number: 20240077793
    Abstract: A reflective diffusion device including a reflecting member and a diffusing member is provided, which are adapted for reflecting and diffusing an excitation light beam emitted from a light source module. The reflecting member has a central axis and includes a reflective surface facing the light source module. The diffusing member is disposed on a portion of the reflective surface of the reflecting member. The excitation light beam is incident on a first position of the reflective diffusion device in an incident direction parallel to the central axis, is reflected by the reflective surface and transmitted to a second position of the reflective diffusion device, and is then reflected by the reflective surface to maintain the excitation light beam or form a diffused light beam. The excitation light beam or the diffused light beam exits from the reflective diffusion device in an exit direction parallel to the central axis.

  • Publication number: 20230213846
    Abstract: A lighting module is configured to provide a lighting beam and includes a light source providing an excitation beam, a rotating wheel module disposed on a transmission path of the excitation beam, and a first airflow generator. The rotating wheel module includes driving blades disposed at an interval. Any two adjacent driving blades form an airflow channel. The first airflow generator generates a first airflow that flows through the airflow channels of the driving blades to drive the rotating wheel module to rotate. At least a part of the light source is disposed on a flow path of the first airflow. With the foregoing design, the rotating wheel module can be passively rotated by the first airflow without a driver. Since a driver is omitted, the lighting module has a smaller size and greater design flexibility, and the rotating wheel module also has a larger usable area.
