Additionally, in certain embodiments, the position of the LED arrays within the housing in combination with the reflector design creates an optical path resulting in an indirect light source that minimizes glare, while providing a uniform distribution of light, unlike traditional LED luminaires.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2014Publication date: April 23, 2015Inventors: Scott T.

Patent number: 9010971Abstract: A phosphor wheel heat-dissipating module for a laser projection system is provided. The phosphor wheel heat-dissipating module includes a phosphor wheel, a plurality of air vents and an impeller. At least one phosphor agent is coated on an outer-ring portion of a first surface of the phosphor wheel. The air vents run through the phosphor wheel. The impeller is disposed on a second surface of the phosphor wheel, and includes an inlet and a first outlet. A laser beam is projected on the outer-ring portion of the phosphor wheel. When the phosphor wheel is rotated at a high rotating speed, an airflow is inhaled into the impeller through the inlet. A first portion of the airflow is blown out through the first outlet, and a second portion of the airflow is transferred to the first surface of the phosphor wheel through the air vents.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2013Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Delta Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Hui-Hsiung Wang, Yu-Hsuan Sha
