Patent number: 10288268Abstract: The invention relates to an illuminant (23) and a socket (20) for a lamp (15). The features of the socket (20) can be implemented also independently of the features of the illuminant (23). The illuminant (23) has a preferably planar illumination surface (24). One or more semiconductor lighting elements are arranged within an illuminant housing (30). The illuminant connection device (70) required for mechanical and electrical connection to the socket (20) is provided on the rear face (66) of the illuminant (23), said rear face (66) lying opposite the illumination surface (24). The dimensions of the illuminant are preferably greater than the dimensions of the socket (10) such that the illuminant (23) fully covers the socket when looking onto the illumination surface (24), resulting in a particularly appealing look. Said socket and illuminant (23) modularly achieve large total illumination surfaces in a lamp (15) and an appealing overall appearance in a very simple manner.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2011Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignees: Panasonic Corporation, OSRAM OLED GmbH, OLEDWorks GmbHInventors: Ulrich Spintge, Karsten Diekmann, Britta Goeoetz, Steven Rossbach, Tom Munters, Vincent Johannes Jacobus Van Montfort

Patent number: 9423108Abstract: The invention relates to an illuminant (23) and a socket (20) for a lamp (15). The features of the socket can be implemented also independently of the features of the illuminant (23). The socket has supply terminal areas on multiple sides of the socket housing such that the socket (20) can be selectively supplied with electricity and wired from different sides or also simultaneously from multiple sides. Independently of the number and the arrangement of the supply terminal areas (94), multiple electrical supply terminals (95) having the same polarity are provided on the socket (20). Said supply terminals (95) having the same polarity are electrically short-circuited by means of a shorting connector (116), in particular two identical shorting connectors (116) being arranged in the socket housing. Said socket (20) and illuminant (23) modularly achieve large total illumination surfaces in a lamp (15) and an appealing appearance in a very simple manner.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2011Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignees: PANASONIC CORPORATION, OSRAM OLED GMBH, OLEDWORKS GMBHInventors: Ulrich Spintge, Karsten Diekmann, Britta Goeoetz, Steven Rossbach, Vincent Johannes Jacobus Van Montfort, Tom Munters

Patent number: 9297504Abstract: A luminaire for general lighting includes an illuminant having a first light emission surface and a second light emission surface. The illuminant includes an organic, light-generating region. The first light emission surface and the second light emission surface are arranged at two mutually opposite main surfaces of the illuminant. A first light emerges at the first light emission surface during the operation of the illuminant, and a second light emerges at the second light emission surface during the operation of the illuminant. The first light and the second light differ from one another with regard to color and/or color temperature. The first light and the second light leave the luminaire in mutually different emission directions.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2012Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: OSRAM OLED GmbHInventors: Thomas Dobbertin, Steven Rossbach, Erwin Lang
