Patent number: 9110361Abstract: Disclosed is an illumination optical system that includes: two solid-state light sources (11 and 12); first light guide (21) configured to guide light emitted from one solid-state light source in a first direction; second light guide (22) configured to guide light emitted from the other solid-state light source in a second direction different from the first direction; and optical path conversion units (31 and 32) including total reflection surfaces for totally reflecting the lights guided by the first light guide and the second light guide to enter the lights into third light guide (50). A projection display apparatus that uses the illumination optical system thus configured can enter light emitted from a plurality of light sources straight into an image forming element by one optical system.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2010Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS, LTD.Inventor: Atsushi Katou

Publication number: 20150131296Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture includes a housing, a baffle, a trim ring, a cover, and at least one attachment element. The housing includes an inner wall and side walls extending to an open outer end. The baffle is secured to the housing by at least one fastening element and includes a reflector wall extending through the outer end of the housing. The trim ring extends radially outward from the reflector wall beyond the outer end of the housing and defines a central opening. The cover includes a light transmitting panel and an attachment ring extending around an outer periphery of the light transmitting panel, with the attachment ring being sized and shaped to cover a circumference of the trim ring. The at least one attachment element secures the attachment ring to the trim ring, such that an air seal is effected between the attachment ring and the trim ring.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2014Publication date: May 14, 2015Inventor: Frank Charles O'Brien-Bernini

Patent number: 9028107Abstract: A lamp has an LED, a base, and a reflector. The base is rigidly connected to the LED and has a base contact surface. The reflector, which can be connected to the base, has a reflector contact surface, an entry opening, an exit opening, and a longitudinal direction (L) that runs from the exit opening to the entry opening. The reflector contact surface is arranged in the longitudinal direction (L) between the entry opening and the exit opening, and the base contact surface abuts the reflector contact surface. Thus, movement of the base and/or reflector towards each other is prevented when the reflector is connected to the base. The reflector is formed in such a way that a projection of the reflector contact surface in the longitudinal direction (L) of the reflector is free of undercuts.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Auer Lighting GmbHInventors: Ralf Becker, Markus Hoffmann
