    摘要: Devices, systems and methods are described. A method includes driving a first light source to generate a visible light pulse having a first intensity for a first duration to illuminate a scene. An image sensor is used to record a visible-spectrum image of the scene illuminated by the first light pulse. A second light source is driven to generate a second light pulse having a second intensity that exceeds the first intensity by at least 100% for a second duration that is at most 10% of the first duration to illuminate the scene during the first duration. An image sensor is used to record a monochrome image of the scene illuminated by the second light pulse. Image processing is performed on a visible-spectrum image and the monochrome image to obtain the digital image of the scene.

    摘要: Disclosed lens designs enable uniform light distribution without hot spot, achieving wider transfer functions of light compared with traditional lenses, with a benefit of reducing the number of light sources needed and overall cost for direct-lit backlight device. A disclosed lens includes a beam shaping element on the top thereof and a backlight device incorporating the lens and the beam shaping element to eliminate a light hot spot produced by the backlight device and obtain a uniform light distribution at the illumination field. The disclosed lens is especially useful when extremely wider transfer function or extremely thin backlight is needed.

    摘要: Optical lens and light emitting device designs achieve uniform light distribution without producing a light “hot spot”, with a benefit of reducing the number of light sources needed and overall cost for direct-lit backlight device. The optical lens includes coating portions or structures on the bottom surface thereof, and a backlight device, or other light emitting device, incorporating said lens, to produce a uniform distribution of light at a target surface. The disclosed lens and light emitting device are particularly useful when an extremely wide transfer function of backlight is needed.

    摘要: A method for producing a flexible lighting strip comprising multitude of functional elements, which are light-emitting diodes, comprise light-emitting diodes, or are interposers with light-emitting diodes. The functional elements are in at least two groups, each comprising at least two functional elements in electrical series connection. The groups are in an electrical circuit having at least an anode and a cathode track as outer lines. The functional elements are in an electrical parallel connection to the anode and cathode tracks. The groups are in a longitudinal arrangement so a first group's last functional element is next to a second group's first functional element. Each of the outer lines has a wire line having substantially circular wires that are bent building zones capable of receiving compressive and tensile stress. The electrical circuit provides a third wire line having a substantially circular wire as a center line arranged between the outer lines.
