Patent number: 10414331Abstract: A vehicle tailight includes a housing seat and a light cover cooperatively defining an accommodation space, and a main light emitting device disposed in the accommodation space and including first and second light emitting members capable of emitting first and second color lights, respectively, a reflective plate, an isolation portion corresponding to the second light emitting members, and a light transmitting plate having a light guide portion for transmitting a portion of the first color light rearwardly to the light cover and to guide the other portion thereof to reflect forwardly onto the reflective plate, which in turn, reflects the first color light rearwardly. A light adjusting structure guides the second color light to project rearwardly.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: COPLUS INC.Inventor: Jacob Wu

Patent number: 10393348Abstract: An array of LEDs is supported by a support mechanism that both supports conductors leading to the LEDs and sinks heat from the LEDs. The support mechanism may be a transparent heat-conducting sheet or an array of cantilevered arms at different angles that support the LEDs and sink heat. This reduces the blockage of light. The LEDs are positioned generally in the focal plane of an array of concave mirrors that collimate the light. The LEDs and array of mirrors are translatable with respect to one another to steer the aggregate light beam to customize the emission. In another embodiment, multiple LEDs are positioned over each mirror in the mirror array, and the combination of LEDs illuminated over each mirror is used to steer the aggregate light beam from the luminaire.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: GLINT PHOTONICS, INC.Inventors: Christopher Gladden, Andrew Kim, Peter Kozodoy, Barbara Kruse

Patent number: 10364975Abstract: A light module includes a light emitting diode (LED) array and a double-reflective assembly coupled to the LED array. The double-reflective assembly includes a lower member having a frame. The frame has an opening corresponding to the LED array. The frame and LED array are located in the same plane. The light module further includes a left bottom reflector and a right bottom reflector. The light module further includes an upper member which includes a left top reflector; and a right top reflector, wherein the left top reflector is attached to the left bottom reflector, and right top reflector is attached to the right bottom reflector, each forming an arbitrary left and right double-reflective assembly. A shape geometry and profile of each double-reflective assembly provides a pre-calculated combined non-circular asymmetrical intensity distribution pattern.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: BRIDGELUX INC.Inventors: Alexander Rizkin, Robert Tudhope, Vahid Moshtagh, Hannu Tapani Hukkanen, Tomi Mikael Kuntze
