INFRARED EMITTER

摘要

An infrared emitter (1), in particular an infrared remote control unit, has an infrared light source and a housing (2). According to the invention, a diffuser (5) is arranged in the path (6) of the light and widens the narrow light beam, so that a larger surface is lighted in a homogeneous manner and the risk of damage to the eyes is prevented. This is particularly advantageous when a laser diode is used as infrared light source.
