LIGHT EMITTING PANEL ASSEMBLY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide better control of the light output from the panel assemblies and more efficient utilization of light to suit a particular application.

SOLUTION: Light emitting panel assemblies include a light emitting panel member (22) having a uniform or variable pattern of light extracting deformities (109) of well defined shapes in or on one or more surfaces of the light emitting panel (22). The size and shape as well as the depth and angular orientation and position or location of the light emitting of the light extracting deformities (109) may vary along the length and/or width of a panel surface area to obtain a desired light output distribution from the panel surface area. A focused light source (3) may be insert molded or cast within a light transition area of the light emitting panel to focus the light on an input surface of the light transition area with predetermined ray angles to fit a particular application.
