Patent number: 10760770Abstract: A device for modifying light distribution includes a transparent body including a first surface, a second surface on an opposite side of the transparent body, and a third surface joining the first surface. The second surface defines a cavity opening away from the first surface. The second surface reflects, towards the third surface, at least a part of light received via the first surface. The third surface reflects, towards the second surface, the light reflected from the second surface. The second surface acts as a light egress surface for the light reflected from the third surface. The third surface includes a groove so that a part of the light reflected from the second surface propagates across the groove prior to being reflected from the third surface. The light distribution can be tuned by adjusting the shape, the size, and/or the location of the groove.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: LEDIL OYInventor: Olli Saarnio

Patent number: 10760771Abstract: A foil structure with generation of visible light using LED technology includes a carrier foil and an LED chip for generation of UV light. The LED chip is disposed on the carrier foil and is provided with a light output face for emission of the UV light. Furthermore, the foil structure includes a color reaction layer for conversion of the UV light into the visible light. The color reaction layer is disposed above the LED chip or in a manner laterally offset relative to the LED chip. The color reaction layer is provided with a structuring, so that the UV light emitted from the light output face of the LED chip is not emitted into the surroundings of the foil structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Schreiner Group GmbH & Co.
