Accompanying drawing explanation
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, technical solution of the present invention is described further:
Fig. 1: structural representation of the present invention.
Embodiment
The present invention proposes a kind of novel design method, is intended to reduce light energy and is limited in ratio in each mode, thus improve whole lighting efficiency.
As shown in Figure 1, improve the structure of light extraction efficiency, there is dielectric layer 2 between light source side 1 and external agency side 3, in dielectric layer 2, being provided with the micro-structural 4 for changing optical propagation direction.
Micro-structural 4 is in spherical or bar-shaped or taper etc., multiple means can be adopted to realize making micro-structural, such as pulse laser is formed at dielectric layer inside engraving, the mode forming micro-structural is not limited to pulse laser one, also by reserving the space of micro-structural when making glass, just complete the design of structure in the lump when making.
Micro-structural 4 be inner for air outside be the microstructure of dielectric layer, or micro-structural 4 is made up of same medium but changes the structure that its internal crystal framework arranges situation, presents the refraction index profile different from other position in dielectric layer.
The length of micro-structural 4 can be designed to extend to dielectric layer surface or only inner at dielectric layer, does not destroy dielectric layer surface pattern.The shape of micro-structural and length can be undertaken controlling (such as adjusting the energy size etc. of the radiative wavelength of laser, pulse frequency, duration, single pulse) by different technological means.According to different demands, the arrangement of micro-structural can be random, also can be that even micro-structural depth location in the dielectric layer also can make and variously arranges flexibly and change according to array way arrangement.
During embody rule, light is incident to dielectric layer 2 from light source side 1, is coupled in the process of external agency side 3 through dielectric layer 2, and the micro-structural 4 in dielectric layer 2 changes the direction of propagation of light, make luminous energy meet outgoing condition and the angle of emergence is less than critical angle, therefore couples optical energy is in external agency.The structural design of micro-optic is realized in dielectric layer inside, micro optical structure can destroy light propagation path in media as well, avoid the generation of total reflection phenomenon, the luminous energy that cannot be utilized due to total reflection is utilized, the efficiency increase that light is coupling luminous via medium.
Light source side represents light and is incident to dielectric layer from this side, do not represent that dielectric layer must be close to light source side, can be that light source is close to dielectric layer, also can be that light source enters last layer dielectric layer through the medium of this layer, wherein the refractive index of this layer is n1, and the refractive index of the dielectric layer that light need penetrate is n2, and the refractive index of external agency side is n3, n1 ≠ n2, n2 >=n3.Generally, light source is coupled to the process of external agency through dielectric layer, and light on dielectric interface, total reflection phenomenon can occur, and light will be coupled to external agency, and energy can lose.And the present invention designs dielectric layer, make that there are in dielectric layer some micro-structurals, the script direction of propagation of Microstructure Fracture light, destroy total reflection effect, luminous energy is made to meet outgoing condition (angle of emergence is less than critical angle), therefore couples optical energy is in external agency, improves the utilance of light energy.
The number of density on the light energy be finally coupled out of micro-structural has impact, the size of the quantity that light is coupled out increases gradually along with the increase of micro-structural density, but when micro-structural density increases to a certain degree, the light ray energy be coupled out cannot increase again can reach a saturated degree gradually, and therefore the density of micro-structural has optimized value.The depth location that micro-structural is in medium is insensitive on the size impact going out light energy.The shape of micro-structural arrangement is insensitive on the size impact going out light energy when close evenly arrangement.The shape of micro-structural can change the pattern of bright dipping, if cone structure can cause light type more concentrated, if circular, light type can be caused to compare and disperse.The shape, arrangement, density etc. of micro-structural can not the spectral line of derivative spectomstry be drifted about.
In sum, the present invention only designs for the dielectric layer of optical transport, coupling efficiency not changing the basis penetrating shape of medium needed for light significantly improves, the technological process making photoelectric device at present can't be changed, very be applicable to large area and industrial production, there is higher practicality and economic worth.
It is to be understood that: the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention; for those skilled in the art; under the premise without departing from the principles of the invention, can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
