    摘要: A system for illuminating panels such as advertising display panels is provided. Such illuminated panels include at least one row of point light sources located substantially within the at least one illuminated frame member, a diffusion layer have a diffusion edge facing the at least one row of point light sources, a backscattering layer coupled to a back surface of the diffusion layer, and a dispersion layer coupled to a front surface of the diffusion layer. The diffusion layer has an edge with a surface roughness configured to diffuse light emitted by the at least one row of point light sources. In some embodiments, the light sources are dimmable Luxeon LEDs and can be activated by an infrared sensor. It is also possible to use ultraviolet to blue light sources for the panel and to include a phosphor in the dispersion layer of the panel for converting the ultraviolet to blue light into visible light.

    摘要: A system for illuminating panels such as advertising display panels is provided. Such illuminated panels can be operated very efficiently, cost-effectively and with minimal maintenance once installed in the field. In one embodiment, the illuminated panel includes a panel frame with one or more illuminated frame member. Additional illuminated frame member(s) may be needed depending on the overall dimensions of the illuminated panel. The inside surface of the illuminated frame member should be reflective to increase the light transmission efficiency of the panel. A row of point light sources, e.g., a row of light emitting diodes, is located within the illuminated frame member. The panel frame encloses a light diffusion layer, e.g., an acrylic sheet, with a diffusion edge facing the row of point light sources. The diffusion edge has a surface roughness configured to diffuse light emitted by the row of point light sources. Suitable surface roughness can be accomplished by saw cuts or sanding the light diffusion layer with a suitable grit. In some embodiments, the illuminated frame member has an internal profile to better focus the light emitted by the light sources towards the diffusion edge. Suitable internal profiles include rounded profiles such as parabolic and elliptical shapes. Further, because the point light sources are discrete components, the panel frame members can take on a variety of shapes including curved shapes.

    摘要: A composite optical cable for lateral emission of light flux therefrom includes a plural number of sets of transparent optical fibers with each set of fibers assembled into a single cable and with a plurality of single cables assembled in the composite optical cable. The sets of optical fibers forming the single cables may be wound in one direction of rotation to form a spiral of fibers with length, and the single cables may be wound in the opposite direction of rotation to provide the composite optical cable. Selected masking schemes provide apertures at predetermined locations along the single cables through which light flux carried by the cables may be emitted for special lighting effects.
