FLEXIBLE ILLUMINATION DEVICE FOR SIMULATING NEON LIGHTING

摘要

An illumination device (10) includes a flexible and substantially rod-like member (12) having predetermined length with a light-receiving surface and a light-emitting surface (13) and an elongated light source (24) extending along and positioned adjacent the light-receiving surface of the rod-like member (12), such that light entering the rod-like member (12) from the elongated light source (24) and through the light-receiving surface is preferentially scattered, thus causing a light intensity pattern that appears substantially uniform along the light-emitting surface (13) of the rod-like member (12).
