LIGHTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18378807 titled 'LIGHTING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The lighting device described in the patent application consists of a first reflector with a light source, a second hole for emitting light, and a curved reflection surface connecting the two holes. A liquid crystal lens covers the second hole, and a polygonal pyramid with inclined reflection surfaces is positioned opposite the liquid crystal lens to change the direction of light traveling through it.
- The first reflector includes a first hole for the light source and a second hole for emitting light.
- A liquid crystal lens covers the second hole of the first reflector.
- A polygonal pyramid with inclined reflection surfaces is positioned opposite the liquid crystal lens.
- The inclined surfaces of the polygonal pyramid act as reflection surfaces, changing the direction of light traveling through them.
- The liquid crystal lens can configure lenses corresponding to the inclined surfaces of the polygonal pyramid.
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be used in various lighting applications, such as automotive headlights, streetlights, or architectural lighting.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently directing and controlling the direction of light emitted from a lighting device.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved light control, energy efficiency, and the ability to create customizable lighting effects.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology could include lighting fixtures for homes, offices, outdoor spaces, and automotive lighting systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be similar lighting devices with reflectors and lenses, but without the specific configuration of a polygonal pyramid and liquid crystal lens as described in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the liquid crystal lens interact with the inclined reflection surfaces of the polygonal pyramid to control the direction of light?
The interaction between the liquid crystal lens and the inclined reflection surfaces is not detailed in the abstract. Further information on this interaction would provide a better understanding of the technology.
What materials are used in the construction of the polygonal pyramid and the liquid crystal lens?
The abstract does not mention the specific materials used in the construction of the polygonal pyramid and the liquid crystal lens. Knowing the materials could provide insights into the durability and performance of the lighting device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A lighting device, comprises: a first reflector that includes a first hole where a light source is disposed, a second hole that emits light, and a reflection curved surface that connects the first hole and the second hole to each other, and the first reflector emits light to a first direction; a liquid crystal lens disposed to cover the second hole of the first reflector; and a polygonal pyramid including a bottom surface and a plurality of inclined surfaces, and being disposed so that the plurality of inclined surfaces oppose the liquid crystal lens. The plurality of inclined surfaces are reflection surfaces, and on the reflection surfaces, a traveling path of the light traveling to the first direction changes to a second direction. The liquid crystal lens can configure lenses corresponding to the plurality of inclined surfaces.
