High Luminance LEDs in Lighting Applications

Backlight source structure for LED lamps that improves brightness, utilization, and efficiency of LED lamps. The structure has a light source component, a uniform light component, and a second reflective component. The light source emits light in a direction. The uniform light component converts the point light to surface light and reflects back to surrounds. The second reflective component around the light source gathers and re-emits the reflected light parallel to the emission direction. This concentrates the light to increase brightness, utilize more of the emitted light, and reduce source waste.

Tunable white light LED device that provides high-quality light with adjustable color temperature and enhanced color rendering for applications like circadian lighting. It uses a combination of three LED strings (blue LEDs with phosphor coatings), each with a different color phosphor, to generate unsaturated light of different colors. These unsaturated light spectra are mixed to create a tunable white light that can be adjusted along the black body locus of correlated color temperatures. The device uses a drive circuit to adjust the relative currents to the LED strings and achieve the desired color point.

An LED lamp design that allows high-power LEDs to be used without requiring external heat sinks. This is achieved by using a cylindrical transparent housing with the LEDs mounted on a flexible PCB rolled up inside. The PCB is coated with a thin transparent layer to protect the LEDs. The rolled PCB, LEDs, and driver components are all contained within the housing. This allows the LEDs to dissipate heat directly into the surrounding air through the transparent housing.

Rearview mirror assembly with an integrated blind spot warning indicator. The mirror includes an optical assembly with a housing and lighting module that emits light through an inclined bottom surface. The housing has inner surfaces that increase and then decrease in height towards the light source. This shapes the emitted light beam. The inclined assembly also provides high luminance light to the driver and lower luminance light to vehicles behind.

LED filament bulb with omnidirectional light emission and high efficiency. The bulb uses a flexible LED filament shaped to emit uniform light in all directions. The filament has multiple flat segments connected by bendable sections. This allows the filament to be shaped in a non-linear configuration compared to traditional straight filaments. The shaped filament emits light uniformly in 360 degrees. The bendable segments prevent disconnection when the filament is flexed.

White LED lighting that closely mimics natural sunlight and has improved color rendering compared to traditional LEDs. The device uses broad-spectrum blue LEDs as the excitation source along with optimized green-yellow and red phosphors. The broad blue excitation fills in the cyan trough between blue and green phosphors, boosting color rendering. The result is full-spectrum white light that appears more natural, has higher CRI, and reduces eye damage from excessive blue light exposure.

High-intensity lighting device using copper-nickel heat-conducting films to efficiently dissipate waste heat from LEDs and allow compact, high-intensity illumination. The device has a thermal film assembly with LEDs, optical reflector, and metal frame. The copper-nickel films guide heat from the LEDs to the heat sinks. The LEDs are grouped and focused by the reflector for higher light output. The compact design allows cost-effective high-intensity lighting compared to conventional LEDs.

LED luminaire with improved light output and compact design by using a reflector with a slot to redirect light from an external LED source into an internal optical element. The LED is mounted outside the reflector, which has a slot for the light guide to pass through. The light guide directs the LED light into the reflector, where it exits at an angle relative to the light guide direction due to the reflector geometry. This avoids high brightness spots and improves light distribution compared to directing the LED light straight into the optical element.

High heat dissipation LED headlight that emulates the light output of halogen lamps while improving heat dissipation compared to conventional LED headlights. The key innovation is placing the LED near the heat sink instead of at the light source end. A concentrator converts the LED light into parallel beams and adjusts the spot size. This allows close proximity of the LED to the heat sink for better dissipation. The concentrated light is then transmitted to the fluorescent glue layer, which glows white. The close LED-heat sink placement and light concentration enable effective heat transfer while maintaining brightness equivalent to halogen lamps.

High-emissivity LED light source for applications like surgical lighting and microscopy that provides high radiation, adjustable color temperature, and stable color rendering over time. The source uses multiple LED dies of different colors arranged in a cone shape. Closed-loop control adjusts the intensity of each color channel to maintain consistent color rendering and color temperature as the LEDs age and temperature changes. The conical geometry and closed-loop control overcome limitations of conventional LED sources like fixed CCT and CRI degradation. The high-emissivity LEDs can be coupled to fiber optics for surgical lighting.

A concave reflector directs the LED light upwards instead of spreading sideways. This improves light guiding and concentration. The housing also has a removable cover for easy LED replacement. The LEDs are fixed to the reflector and heat-conducting housing threads. This allows replacing LEDs without disassembling the backlight. The housing has a ventilator, heat sink, and heat-conducting plate to dissipate LED heat. The backlight also has a cover, diffusion film, and side reflector to protect and direct the light.

It avoids yield issues of making a single large LED and prevents overheating a large substrate.
