Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lighting device, in particular a headlamp for vehicles, at least comprising an array (1) of light sources (2), consisting of first and second light sources (2) being mounted within the same flat or curved plane, and a projecting optical system (3) arranged to project light emitted by the light sources (2) in a forward direction of the lighting device. At least one shifting element (6) is arranged in front of said first light sources. The shifting element (6) generates real or virtual emission positions of the light of said first light sources shifted towards or away from the projecting optical system (3) with respect to emission positions of said second light sources. With the proposed lighting device, in addition to the main lighting function of illumination, a pattern or signature can be projected at one or several additional image planes. The lighting device thus e.g. allows the additional projection of branding or safety patterns.
Abstract:
An example system includes a plurality of moveable light emitters, each moveable light emitter configured to independently emit a display light from a current display location within that moveable light emitter's range of motion responsive to activation from a corresponding light activator. The system also includes a location engine to determine, for each light emitter, the current display location of that light emitter, and a mapping engine to map, for each current display location, the light activator activating the light emitter currently located at that current display location.
Abstract:
One embodiment is directed to a compact system for scanning electromagnetic imaging radiation, comprising a first waveguide and a second waveguide, each of which is operatively coupled to at least one electromagnetic radiation source and configured such that output from the first and second waveguides is luminance modulated and scanned along one or more axes to form at least a portion of an image.
Abstract:
A two-dimensional array of linear wave guides includes a plurality of 2D planar wave guide assemblies, columns, sets or layers which each produce a respective depth plane to for a simulated 4D light field. Linear wave guides may have a rectangular cylindrical shape, and may stacked in rows and columns. Each linear wave guide is at least partially internally reflective, for example via at least one opposed pair of at least partially reflective planar side walls, to propogate light along a length of the wave guide. Curved micro-reflectors may reflect some modes of light while passing others. The side walls or a face may reflect some modes of light while passing others. The curved micro-reflectors of any given wave guide each contribute to spherical wave front at a defined radial distance, the various layers producing image planes at respective radial distances.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device which is suitable for integration into a timepiece, in particular in the form of a timepiece module, another type of watch module or a basic watch movement, wherein the device comprises at least one opening, in each of which an associated image guide is mounted, and for each of these image guides the device comprises means for fastening the image guide in the associated opening, such that the image guide allows display information displayed on a representation plane to be reproduced on a display plane. The present invention further relates to a corresponding timepiece equipped with such a device.
Abstract:
Der Erfindung liegt mithin die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Periskop zur Verfügung zu stellen, welche bei kompakter Baugröße ein Weitwinkel-Sichtfeld bereitstellt. Dazu ist eine Periskop vorgesehen, welche zumindest zwei Objektive aufweist, deren optische Achsen einen Winkel zueinander aufweisen, so dass die Objektive unterschiedliche Raumwinkelbereiche abbilden.
