SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT SOURCE ELEMENT FOR BEAM FORMING

摘要

A semiconductor light source element includes a substrate to which at least one semiconductor light source is mounted. An optical body is mounted to the substrate with its light receiving surface located adjacent the light emitting surface of the at least one semiconductor light source. The optical body has a shape and light output surface profile which are selected to produce a desired beam pattern with the light emitted by the at least one semiconductor light source. When two or more semiconductor light sources are employed in the semiconductor light source element, the light sources can be positioned at different locations about the light receiving surface to emit light from the front edge of the optical body in correspondingly diverse patterns.
