  • Patent number: 8754427
    Abstract: A lens arrangement for an LED display device includes a lens. The lens has a first lens surface and an optical axis. The optical axis penetrates the first lens surface of the lens. Furthermore, the lens arrangement includes a transparent transition body, which is firmly coupled with the lens on the first lens surface, which is more temperature-resistant than the lens and which has an optical axis that is parallel to the optical axis of the lens.

  • Patent number: 8044474
    Abstract: An optoelectronic module having a carrier element, at least one semiconductor component for emitting or detecting electromagnetic radiation, said semiconductor component being applied on the carrier element and being electrically conductively connected and having a radiation coupling area, and also at least one optical device assigned to the semiconductor component. A connecting layer made of a radiation-transmissive, deformable material is arranged between the radiation coupling area and the optical device, the optical device and the semiconductor component being fixed relative to one another in such a way that they are pressed against one another and that the connecting layer is thereby squeezed in such a way that it generates a force that strives to press the optical device and the radiation coupling area apart.

  • Patent number: 7390107
    Abstract: The invention describes an optical signal transmitter device, in which a specific, predetermined emission characteristic or light density distribution is achieved solely by the arrangement of two or more light elements on a base plate. This means that there is no longer any need for complicated optical structures in order to produce the predetermined light distribution. The invention furthermore describes an optical signal transmitter device that uses a convex condenser in order to improve the light gathering characteristic.
