Patent number: 9028126Abstract: An LED light bar includes a PCB and a plurality of LED lamps mounted to and electrically connected with the PCB. Each of the LED lamps has a light emission face that is perpendicular to the PCB. The LED lamps at two opposite ends are arranged to have the light emission faces thereof angularly shifted in directions away from the light emission faces of the LED lamps in the middle to thereby increase light irradiation range of the LED light bar. With the LED lamps at two ends of the LED light bar being arranged to have light emission faces thereof angularly shifted so as to form a predetermined included angle between the light emission faces of the LED lamps and a light incidence face of the light guide plate, the irradiation range of light from the LED light bar is increased.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Shenzhen China Star Optoelectronics Technology Co., LtdInventor: Jianfa Huang

Patent number: 9022602Abstract: Modular multichannel light sources connector systems and methods are provided. A lighting assembly includes substrates, each with a respective plurality of ports and conductive path configurations. Each path configuration includes a plurality of conductive paths between the respective plurality of ports. At least two conductive path configurations are the same. A connector couples one of a plurality of first ports on a first substrate to one of a plurality of second ports on a second substrate. A multichannel power supply's outputs are each coupled to an associated conductive path on the first substrate. A first light source is coupled to two conductive paths on the first substrate, and to a first output. A second light source is coupled to two conductive paths on the second substrate, corresponding to the conductive paths on the first substrate, and to a second output, different from the first output.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2013Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: OSRAM SYLVANIA Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Lekatsas, Biju Antony, David Lidrbauch

Patent number: 9019445Abstract: Uneven brightness is less likely to occur in lighting devices at low cost. A backlight unit 12 includes LEDs 17, a chassis 14 having a bottom plate 14a and housing the LEDs 17, and an LED drive controller 24 controlling drive of the LEDs 17. The LEDs 17 are arranged in a matrix in row and column directions (X-axis direction and Y-axis direction) along the bottom plate 14a, forming respective LED groups 25 each along the row direction. The LED groups 25 include a middle LED group 28 and an end side LED group 29. The middle LED group 28 is located in a middle portion of the bottom plate 14a in the column direction group and the end side LED group 29 is located closer to an end of the bottom part from the middle portion group. The LED drive controller 24 controls light of at least one of the middle LED group 28 and the end side LED group 29 such that the end side LED group 29 has relatively high brightness and the middle LED group 28 has relatively low brightness.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takaharu Shimizu, Mamoru Takaya
