Abstract
Description
Diese Erfindung ist eine flexible Leuchteinheit, bestehend aus im Raster angeordneten Leuchtdioden (LEDs). Die äquidistante Anordnung der einzelnen LEDs in möglichst geringem Rasterabstand ergibt schon bei geringem Betrachtungsabstand eine gleichmäßig hell leuchtende Fläche.This invention is flexible Luminaire unit, consisting of light-emitting diodes arranged in a grid (LEDs). The equidistant Arrangement of the individual LEDs in the smallest possible grid spacing results even with a short viewing distance a uniformly bright luminous surface.
Auf LEDs basierende Leuchteinheiten werden heute beispielsweise für Rück-, Brems- oder Blinkleuchten in Fahrzeugen, Werbedisplays oder für Lichteffekte eingesetzt. Durch die Verwendung mehrerer LEDs kann die geforderte Leuchtstärke erzielt werden. Dabei wird eine gleichmäßige Leuchtstärke bei sehr unterschiedlichen Formen über das gesamte Leuchtsegment (z.B. einem KFZ-Rücklicht) gewünscht.Luminaire units based on LEDs are used today for back, Brake or indicator lights in vehicles, advertising displays or for lighting effects used. By using several LEDs, the required luminosity be achieved. This will give a uniform luminosity very different forms the entire light segment (e.g. a car rear light) is desired.
Stand der Technik ist es, durch eine individuelle Anordnung mehrerer LEDs nebeneinander sich der Form des Leuchtsegments grob anzunähern. Reflektoren um die einzelnen LEDs herum sorgen dabei für die gewünschte Lichtverteilung über die Segmentfläche. Bei diesen Reflektoren handelt es sich typischerweise um ein kompliziert geformtes verspiegeltes Kunststoffteil. Sowohl die Konstruktion dieser Reflektoreinheiten als auch die Herstellung insbesondere kleiner Mengen für Muster oder Versuchsserien ist sehr aufwändig und teuer.State of the art is through a Individual arrangement of several LEDs next to each other in the form roughly approximate the light segment. Reflectors around the individual LEDs ensure the desired light distribution over the Segment surface. These reflectors are typically complicated molded mirrored plastic part. Both the construction of these reflector units as well as the manufacture in particular small amounts for Sample or test series is very complex and expensive.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine flexible Lösung zu schaffen, die mit geringem Konstruktion- und Herstellungsaufwand die gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung unterschiedlichster Segmente erlaubt und dabei die geforderte Leuchtstärke nicht unter- oder überschreitet.It is therefore the object of the present invention a flexible solution to create the uniform illumination with little design and manufacturing effort different segments allowed and the required luminosity not falls below or exceeds.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfüllungsgemäß durch das Anbringen vieler kleiner LEDs in gleichförmigem Raster auf einer Leiterplatte gelöst, wobei die Leiterbahnführung so ausgelegt ist, dass beim Abtrennen von beliebigen Teilen die Funktion der übrigen LEDs erhalten bleibt.This task is accomplished by the Attaching many small LEDs in a uniform grid on a circuit board solved, being the conductor track is designed so that when cutting off any parts the Function of the rest LEDs are retained.
Die Erfindung setzt sich prinzipiell aus einer flexiblen Leiterplatte und vielen im engmaschigen Raster (z.B. 5mm) angeordneten LEDs, ggf. mit Vorwiderständen zur gleichmäßigen Stromverteilung, zusammen.The invention is based in principle from a flexible printed circuit board and many in a close-knit grid (e.g. 5mm) arranged LEDs, if necessary with series resistors for uniform current distribution, together.
Die Grundidee der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Leuchttechnik einzusetzen,The basic idea of the present invention is in using lighting technology,
- – welche es dem Designer oder Hersteller von Leuchteinheiten erlaubt, schnell und flexibel Leuchtkörper in beliebiger Form anzufertigen und- Which allows the designer or manufacturer of lighting units to quickly and flexible filament to be made in any form and
- – welche eine gleichmäßige hohe Leuchtstärke je nach Bedarf erzeugt und- Which an even high luminosity generated as needed and
- – welche es ermöglicht dies durch einfaches Zuschneiden mit einer Schere zu erreichen und- Which allows achieve this by simply cutting with scissors and
- – welche in verschiedenen Leuchtfarben aufgebaut werden kann: möglich sind z.B. rot, gelb, orange, grün, blau oder weiß.- Which can be built up in different fluorescent colors: are possible e.g. red, yellow, orange, green, blue or white.
Bei dieser Erfindung wird einfach die gewünschte Leuchtform aus der Gesamtfläche der Leiterplatte mit den LEDs herausgeschnitten. Dazu genügt eine einfache Schere, da sich die flexible Leiterplatte ohne Probleme damit zuschneiden lässt. Für Leuchtflächen, die größer als eine Leiterplatte sind, können auch mehrere davon nebeneinander angeordnet werden.This invention makes it easy the desired Luminous form from the total area cut out the circuit board with the LEDs. One is sufficient simple scissors because the flexible printed circuit board is no problem can be cut with it. For illuminated areas that larger than are a circuit board, can also several of them can be arranged side by side.
Die maximale Leuchtstärke wird durch die LEDs bestimmt. Sie ist mehr als ausreichend um beispielsweise als Bremsleuchten in KFZ eingesetzt zu werden. Aufgrund der hohen Leuchtstärke multipliziert mit der Anzahl von LEDs, wird in vielen Fällen eine Reduzierung der Leuchtstärke erforderlich sein. Dies wird in dieser Erfindung mit einer elektronischen Vorschaltplatine gelöst, die eine Regelung der Helligkeit erlaubt. Sinnvollerweise wird hierzu die Leucht/Pausendauer der LEDs variiert. Durch die Wahl einer genügend hohen Schaltfrequenz im Bereich von ca. 100Hz bis zu einigen kHz nimmt das menschliche Auge ein kontinuierliches und flimmerfreies Leuchten wahr.The maximum brightness is determined by the LEDs. It is more than sufficient for example to be used as brake lights in vehicles. Because of the high luminosity multiplied by the number of LEDs, in many cases it becomes one Reduction of luminosity to be required. This is done in this invention with an electronic ballast solved, which allows regulation of the brightness. This makes sense the lighting / pause duration of the LEDs varies. By choosing a sufficiently high one Switching frequency in the range from about 100Hz to a few kHz the human eye a continuous and flicker-free glow true.
