  • Publication number: 20130200407
    Abstract: A defocused optic (110, 210) for mixing of light output from a multichip LED (101, 201). The defocused optic (110, 210) includes an outer reflector having a concave inner surface (122, 26, 222, 226) with a varied profile. The outer reflector surrounds an interior reflector (140, 240) having a convex surface (142, 242). The convex surface (142, 242) of the interior reflector (140, 240) is positioned to generally face a multichip LED (101, 201) and may optionally have a varied profile. Appropriate selection of the design parameters of the profiles of the concave inner surface(122, 126, 222, 226), the profile(s) of the convex surface (142, 242), and the rotational angular range over which said profiles are present enables appropriate mixing of the light output from a given multi-chip LED (101, 201).

  • Patent number: 8497516
    Abstract: Although an organic resin substrate is highly effective at reducing the weight and improving the shock resistance of a display device, it is required to improve the moisture resistance of the organic resin substrate for the sake of maintaining the reliability of an EL element. Hard carbon films are formed to cover a surface of the organic resin substrate and outer surfaces of a sealing member. Typically, DLC (Diamond like Carbon) films are used as the carbon films. The DLC films have a construction where carbon atoms are bonded into an SP3 bond in terms of a short-distance order, although the films have an amorphous construction from a macroscopic viewpoint. The DLC films contain 95 to 70 atomic % carbon and 5 to 30 atomic % hydrogen, so that the DLC films are very hard and minute and have a superior gas barrier property and insulation performance.
