  • Patent number: 11476384
    Abstract: A light source is specified which comprises a planar semiconductor light source comprising a plurality of independently operable single emitters, wherein, during operation, each of the single emitters emits light via respective single luminous surface. Furthermore, the light source has a common optical element which is arranged directly downstream of the single emitters and which is embodied and intended to direct light from different single emitters into different solid angle regions, wherein the single emitters are arranged defocused with respect to the optical element and the individual light surfaces are imaged in a blurred manner by the optical element.

  • Patent number: 8427062
    Abstract: An illumination device is specified which includes a radiation source having at least one light-emitting diode, a control unit and a radiation receiving unit. The radiation receiving unit is provided, during operation of the illumination device for receiving both a radiation emitted by the radiation source and a reference radiation and for generating a measurement signal upon receiving the radiation from the radiation source and a reference signal upon receiving the reference radiation. An operating point for the radiation source is tunable by the control unit in a manner dependent on the measurement signal and the reference signal. Furthermore, a method is specified by which an emission characteristic of an illumination device can be adapted to a predetermined emission characteristic in a simplified manner.
