Abstract:
Light emitting modules, such as flash modules, include features to help reduce the visual impact of interior components and shield them from view. The features also may enhance the outer appearance of the module or of an appliance incorporating the module.
Abstract:
A microlens array diffuser operable to generate a substantially diffuse illumination includes an array of microlenses, wherein each microlens has a respective periodicity-influencing characteristic and a respective surface profile. The array of microlenses includes at least two microlenses having respective periodicity-influencing characteristics that differ from one another and having respective surface profiles that differ from one another. Each surface profile is configured to generate a substantially equal field of illumination. The microlens array diffuser can be integrated as part of an illuminator operable to generate substantially diffuse illumination.
