Publication number: 20130335960Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatus, methods, and systems for deriving composite beams from a plurality of light sources such as LEDs. Optical units comprising a plurality of light sources, each source having an associated optic which is individually positionable, are developed using optimization techniques that allow for lighting different target areas in an effective manner by rotating or otherwise positioning the reflectors, refractive lenses, TIR lenses, or other lens types to create a composite beam. The apparatus, methods, and systems of lighting herein make it possible to widely vary the types of beams from an available fixture using a small number of optics and fixtures. In some cases, by using a combination of individual beam patterns from the same or different types of light sources, a small set of individual optics may be sufficient to create a majority of the typical and specialized composite beams needed to meet the needs of most lighting projects and target areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2009Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: MUSCO CORPORATIONInventors: MYRON GORDIN, LAWRENCE H.

Publication number: 20130293521Abstract: The invention discloses a power-up circuit, an LCD substrate, and a method for manufacturing an LCD panel. The power-up circuit of a PSVA LCD panel includes a conductive lead connected with an external power supply, and a plurality of data lines for supplying power to pixel electrodes of the LCD panel. One end of each data line is coupled with the conductive lead, and the other end is electrically connected with at least one another data line when power is applied. In the invention, because different data lines are mutually connected, when one data line is disconnected, the disconnected line connected to the conductive lead can continuously achieve power supply; the disconnected line on the other end can be connected to other normal data lines and can achieve power supply through normal data lines. Thus, the fault is controlled within the range of a disconnected point; the conventional linear defects are reduced to point defects, thereby improving PSVA light alignment effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2012Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventor: Liang Xu

Publication number: 20130257265Abstract: A light emitting device is provided to produce white light with a stable correlated color temperature and stable color coordinates. The light emitting device includes a blue LED chip and a yellow phosphor. The blue LED chip has a peak wavelength X slightly smaller than the peak wavelength Y of the phosphor such that when the light emitting device is subjected to a predetermined operating current, the phosphor decays due to thermal effect, and the LED chip has its emission spectrum red-shifted to substantially match with the excitation spectrum of the phosphor. At this time, the excitation ability of the LED chip is increased and causes an increase of yellow power output from the phosphor that substantially compensates a decrease of yellow light output caused by the phosphor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2013Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: NATIONAL CENTRAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Ching-Cherng SUN, Ching-Yi CHEN, Hsin-Mei WU, Cheng-Chien CHEN
