    Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device (1) comprising an envelope (2), a base (3), a solid-state light source (4) and optical means (5) provided with a light-outcoupling surface, the solid-state light source (4) being optically coupled to said optical means (5). The use of a spirally wound optical fiber as optical means (5) and a transparant envelope (2) shaped as a conventional light bulb provides a lighting device (1) which is a good look-alike of the conventional incandescent lamp, such as, for instance, the carbon filament lamp. The long lifetime and high efficiency of LEDs as a solid-state light source (4) will make this lighting device (1) a very attractive alternative for the conventional incandescent lamp. The lighting device (1) according to the present invention has the further advantage that a large gamut of colors can be chosen and adjusted by using, for instance, red green and blue LEDs in said lighting device (1).

  • Publication number: 20110006662
    Abstract: An electro-optic device is inserted and mounted into the internal space of the multi-layered member. Herein, the multi-layered member includes the first and second plates disposed to be separated from and facing each other. At least one of the first and second plates is manufactured with a transparent material to transmit light that is generated from the electro-optic device. Among the first and second plates of the multi-layered member, a plate corresponding to the size of a display apparatus to be manufactured is used. Consequently, by inserting and mounting a small electro-optic device into the internal space of the multi-layered member that is manufactured in a large area, a large-area display apparatus can be manufactured even without using a large-size deposition apparatus and a large-area substrate. Accordingly, the manufacturing cost of the large-area display apparatus can be saved.

    Abstract: A system comprises a light source (42) and an electrode device (1). The light source comprises a base (46) with a base surface on which at least two contact elements (47, 48, 54) are provided. The electrode device has at least two electrodes (23, 24, 31, 32) in mutually stacked positions, which electrodes are preferably made of a permanent magnetic, ferromagnet or electro-magnetic material and have a different polarity during operation. The system further comprises at least one electrode comprising a layer of auto-closing material. This ensures that the system can maintain a satisfactory, reliable electric contact between the electrodes and the contact elements, and, after removal of the light source, gives the system a more aesthetic appearance because damages are practically invisible.

    Abstract: A doped glass composition is provided. A base glass is doped with rare earth ions Terbium Tb3+ and Europium Eu3+ to produce a glass that reduces the transmission of short-wave infrared radiation therethrough without reducing the transmission of visible light. A base glass composition is doped with Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions to an appreciable concentration, in some embodiments in excess of 5 mol % and in other embodiments to a concentration in excess of 1 mol %. A suitable glass for doping according to the present invention includes any glass that can accept rare earth ions at appreciable densities such as the densities described above, and can include oxide-based, fluoride-based, and chalcogenide-based glasses. The doped glass attenuates transmission of short-wave infrared radiation having wavelengths of about 1.8 ?m to about 2.5 ?m and does not reduce transmission of visible light having wavelengths from about 0.4 ?m to about 0.8 ?m.
