    摘要: A stoplight for a vehicle includes a light source, a core portion formed of a transparent material and an integral cladding portion formed of a material having a refractive index which is smaller than that of the core portion. The core portion includes a bundle portion which is connected to the light source and a plurality of branch portions which diverge from the bundle portion. The cladding portion covers the core portion.

    摘要: A rear exterior lamp for a vehicle including an optical fiber (61) for providing an optical fiber light output, an optical coupler (50) responsive to the optical fiber light output for providing an optical coupler light output, and a light panel (11, 13, 15, 100) responsive to the optical coupler light output for providing an exterior lamp output. The optical coupler more particularly includes a transparent substrate having an input side (53) for receiving the optical fiber light output, an output surface (51), and a plurality of internally reflecting surfaces (55a) opposite the output surface for internally reflecting light that enters the input surface toward the output surface.

    摘要: A light expanding system for converting a light beam generated from a point-like light source into a collimated linear or planar light beam is disclosed herein. According to an embodiment of the invention, a system for producing a linear light beam includes a beam collector and a light pipe adjacent to which a multiplicity of specially configured microprisms are located. The light expanding system according to this embodiment is suitable for use in devices utilizing a linear light beam, such as a scanner. According to another embodiment of the invention, a system for producing a planar light beam includes, in addition to the beam collector and light pipe described above, an additional light pipe with adjacent microprisms. The light expanding system according to this embodiment of the invention can be used, for example, in displays, road signs, medical research equipment, instrument meters or jewelry; to light pictures or art work; or as part of a see-through lighting system for use in dentistry and surgery.

    摘要: A visual display device (10) is especially suited for use as a center-high-mounted stop-light (CHMSL) for an automobile rear window which slants downwardly from the horizontal by a small angle. The device (10) includes a linear light source (12) which preferably emits red light. A display panel (14) has a light receiving edge (14a) extending parallel and adjacent to the light source (12) and first and second opposing surfaces (14b, 14c). The second surface (14b) slants toward the first surface (14c) in a direction away from the edge (14a) and is formed with steps (14d) having walls (14e) which are angled toward the edge (14a) such that the peak output light propagating through the display panel (14) from the edge (14a) is refracted horizontally out of the panel (14). The walls (14e) of the steps (14d) are formed with laterally spaced depressions (14f) for lateral dispersion of light. In addition to use as a CHMSL, the display device (10) can be employed in other applications in which a uniform, linear light source is required.

    摘要: According to the present invention, a resin molded product provided with engaging projections to be engaged with engaging members, which have been previously formed in side walls of a frame member, and wing members to be in contact with top portions of the side walls of the frame member alternately formed on the side walls thereof is used as a rod lens of the linear light source. Thus, a curvature of the rod lens can be optionally selected and the linear light source is superior also in assembling. In addition, in the case where this rod lens is composed of a lens surface covering a width of opening of the frame member and an almost flat counter surface positioned opposite to this lens surface, a light-scattering effect is brought about in the counter surface of the rod lens by taking a refractive index or a thickness of this rod lens into consideration, whereby a width of illumination can be increased.
