Abstract: An LED display device having an LED array for a meter on a printed circuit board. A diffusing radiation lens array is disposed facing the LED array. A cover lens is overlapped on the lens array. The cover lens transmits LED light which passed through the lens array. The cover lens has at least a scale mark, a character and a sign. A sheet is interposed between the lens array and the cover lens. The sheet limits radiation of predetermined diffused light from the lens array while partially transmitting the diffused light. The cover lens has a scale mark dent and a character dent formed on its rear interior surface, and displays the scale mark and character by means of an LED light from another LED array.

Abstract: An emergency lighting system for an aircraft has photoluminescent strips mounted on the floor rather than a string of electrical lights. This is a better fail-safe since there is no possibility of a failure in power supply. A channel extrusion is secured to the floor of the aircraft and a photoluminescent strip is held between the channel and a transparent cover member. The photoluminescent strip has two thin layers of photoluminescent material rather on a base layer, rather than being a calendered product. This increases the light output.

Abstract: Illumination apparatus for use in localized illumination applications, such as an automobile dashboard. The apparatus includes a light emitting diode mounted on a metallized circuit board; a TIR lens mounted over the light emitting diode to collect light emitted from the light emitting diode and to direct the light in a single direction; and a light pipe disposed over the light emitting diode and the TIR lens. The light pipe has walls extending from the circuit board to a plane above the circuit board such that directed light from the TIR lens is channeled through the light pipe to the plane. The apparatus can also include a cover disposed in the plane over the light pipe. The cover may be integrally molded to the light pipe and have an icon configured therein, such that the icon is illuminated by the light from the light emitting diode. A lens may also be placed over the cover of the light pipe to create a focused image of the icon, thereby maximizing the light emitted by the light emitting diode at the focused image.

Abstract: A backlighting device for a backlit graphic display used in an instrument panel of an automobile. The backlighting system involves the use of a fluorescent light source and a lightpipe which is tailored for use with the fluorescent light source so as to promote uniform transmission of light to the display, and to achieve a suitable level of light intensity when backlit by a minimal number of light sources. The backlighting system further involves forming the lightpipe from a material which readily transmits light, and preferably is sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, so as to enhance the lighting capability of the light source while also producing an aesthetically pleasing appearance for the display.

Abstract: In a display apparatus using projected illumination for display elements, a translucent fluorescent filter is disposed between the light source and the display element. The filter modifies the visible spectrum of light illuminating the display element. A single light source can be used to achieve a color that is not present or is very low in the original source without added complexity in a control panel. Acceptable luminance levels are achieved in multi-colored control panels with a single light source.

Abstract: An instrument arrangement for an automotive vehicle comprises front and rear housings, and an indicating portion arranged therebetween and having on surface on which luminophors are placed. Within the front housing are arranged a visible light source, and a black light source. The black light source is arranged to be more distant from the one surface of the indicating portion than the visible light source, thus reflecting light of the visible light source toward the indicating portion.

Abstract: An improved backlighting system for electronic displays that require such backlighting is disclosed. The system comprises a fluorescent lamp with improved visible light generating means and a reflector means for channeling the light generated by the lamp into the electronic display. In particular, the lamp comprises, in a preferred embodiment, a cylindrical glass housing, sealed at both ends and containing a plasma which can be excited to generate short wavelength light. A strip of phosphorescent material is placed along the inside surface of the tube, the strip being relatively restricted in width, its width being partially determined by the thickness of the electronic display. A reflector surrounds the lamp and helps drive the light the lamp generates into the phosphor. The lamp is also comprised of a glass transparent to the frequencies of light generated by the plasma. By limiting the width of the florescent area to a strip, light efficiency (the ratio of light out of the display to the electrical power into the lamp) increases and power consumption is also reduced. Additionally, the incorporation of one of several types of light concentrators between the lamp and light guide can improve the light efficiency still further.
