Publication number: 20140268813Abstract: A lighting device includes a light source and an enclosure enclosing the light source wherein a portion of the enclosure has a focus-forming curvature such that when the light from the light source is reflected off the enclosure element the reflected light intersects at the focus of the curvature and creates a virtual light source at the focus. A reflective coating or a reflective material may be applied to the enclosure, or a ball lens may be used around the light source, to increase the intensity of the reflected light and of the virtual light source. A diffuser may be used to change the size and shape of the virtual light source.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: LIGHTEL TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: CHIA-YIU MAA, PAI-SHENG SHEN, CHUNTE YU, GE ZHOU, CHING-FENG LIN

Patent number: 8827504Abstract: A light bulb has a light guide configured as a hollow body surrounding an internal volume. The light guide is open at its proximal and distal ends, and has inner and outer surfaces and an end surface at the proximal end that provides a light input edge. A solid-state light source is optically coupled to the light input edge of the light guide such that light from the solid-state light source travels in the light guide by total internal reflection. The solid-state light source is thermally coupled to a housing at the proximal end of the light guide. The housing contains vents for air flow and convection cooling through the internal volume. Light-extracting optical elements at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the light guide are for extracting light from the light guide.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Rambus Delaware LLCInventors: Jeffery R.

Publication number: 20140247600Abstract: A lighting device 1 includes a planar light-emitting panel 4 and a translucent material 5 disposed on a light-emitting surface side of the planar light-emitting panel 4. The planar light-emitting panel 4 has a light-emitting region 4A and a non-light-emitting region 4B. The translucent material 5 has a reflection part 51 in a region facing the non-light-emitting region 4B. Light emitted from the planar light-emitting panel 4 and guided into the translucent material 5 is reflected by the reflection part 51 and emitted to the front side of the non-light-emitting region 4B. Accordingly, the front side of the non-light-emitting region 4B does not become a dark section, so that it is capable of increasing the light irradiation region and giving the light irradiation surface having uniform illuminance even if the plural lighting devices 1 are arranged in a matrix form.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2014Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Osamu TANAHASHI, Yoshiyuki MIYAKE, Tadashi MURAKAMI, Hideharu KAWACHI
