OPTICAL MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295699 titled 'OPTICAL MEMBER
The patent application describes an optical member with a complex structure designed to efficiently reflect and emit light.
- The light guide body has a smooth incident surface, a reflecting and emitting surface, a reflecting surface, and a smooth emitting surface.
- The reflecting and emitting surface has flat portions to emit light and reflecting portions to reflect light.
- The reflecting surface has flat and reflecting portions to redirect light towards the smooth emitting surface.
- The smooth emitting surface reflects light by total reflection and emits light towards the outside.
Potential Applications: - Optical communication systems - Display technologies - Lighting applications
Problems Solved: - Efficient light reflection and emission - Enhanced optical performance
Benefits: - Improved light transmission - Enhanced brightness and clarity - Energy efficiency
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Optical Components for Enhanced Light Emission This technology can be used in various commercial applications such as high-end displays, automotive lighting, and medical devices, where precise light control is essential for optimal performance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the complex structure of the optical member contribute to its efficiency in reflecting and emitting light? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in terms of scalability and mass production?
Original Abstract Submitted
an optical member includes a light guide body that includes a smooth incident surface, a reflecting and emitting surface disposed to face the smooth incident surface, a reflecting surface continuously arranged with the smooth incident surface, and a smooth emitting surface continuously arranged with the reflecting and emitting surface. the reflecting and emitting surface includes first flat portions configured to emit a part of an incident light, and first reflecting portions configured to reflect another part of the incident light. the reflecting surface includes second flat portions and second reflecting portions configured to reflect the light reflected by the first reflecting portions in different directions toward the smooth emitting surface. the smooth emitting surface is configured to reflect the light reflected by the second flat portions by total reflection and emit the light reflected by the second reflecting portions to the outside.
