Selon un exemple de réalisation, le dispositif selon l'invention constitue une fenêtre virtuelle.According to an exemplary embodiment, the device according to the invention constitutes a virtual window.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront également de la description détaillée donnée ci-après, en référence aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est un exemple de réalisation du dispositif d'éclairage et de décoration conforme à l'invention.
  • les figures 2, 3 et 4 sont des exemples de réalisation de sources lumineuses du dispositif conforme à l'invention.
Other characteristics and advantages will also emerge from the detailed description given below, with reference to the drawings appended by way of example, in which:
  • Figure 1 is an embodiment of the lighting and decoration device according to the invention.
  • Figures 2, 3 and 4 are examples of embodiment of light sources of the device according to the invention.

La figure 1 représente un exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif 1 d'éclairage et de décoration conforme à l'invention.Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a device 1 lighting and decoration according to the invention.

Ce dispositif 1 peut être considéré comme une fenêtre virtuelle.This device 1 can be considered as a virtual window.

Ses dimensions doivent être adaptées à un local 2 considéré, et notamment aux dimensions de celui-ci, afin de garantir l'efficacité optimale des effets recherchés.Its dimensions must be adapted to a room 2 considered, and especially the dimensions thereof, in order to guarantee optimum efficiency desired effects.

A titre d'exemple il peut être nécessaire au dispositif 1 de fournir au moins 300 à 500 lumen par mètre carré de surface. Dans d'autres applications particulières il peut être nécessaire de fournir plus de 500 lm/m2.For example, it may be necessary for device 1 to provide at least 300 to 500 lumen per square meter of surface. In other specific applications it may be necessary to provide more than 500 lm / m2.

Visuellement, il cherche à suggérer une scène lumineuse réelle avec une vue vers l'infini, c'est-à-dire vers le ciel, vers un paysage naturel, un bord de mer, la campagne, la montagne ou encore la ville.Visually, he seeks to suggest a real light scene with a view towards infinity, that is to say towards the sky, towards a natural landscape, a seaside, the countryside, the mountains or even the city.

Les dimensions d'un tel dispositif 1 peuvent ainsi varier de quelques dizaines de centimètres à plusieurs mètres.The dimensions of such a device 1 can thus vary from a few tens of centimeters to several meters.

Le dispositif 1 conforme à l'invention réalisant ainsi une fenêtre virtuelle comporte une source de lumière, cette dernière est par exemple constituée d'une plaque lumineuse 3 produisant le flux lumineux nécessaire à l'effet recherché.The device 1 according to the invention thus producing a window has a light source, this is for example consisting of a light plate 3 producing the necessary light flux the desired effect.

Cette plaque lumineuse 3 permet un certain contrôle de la répartition des luminances et des teintes sur sa surface, en vue d'accentuer le réalisme des images que l'on souhaite faire apparaítre et le cas échéant de permettre la simulation de variations climatiques.This light plate 3 allows a certain control of the distribution of luminances and colors on its surface, in view to accentuate the realism of the images that one wishes to appear and the if necessary to allow the simulation of climatic variations.

Ainsi on spécifie sur la surface de cette plaque lumineuse la répartition précise des températures de couleurs et des luminances pour chaque scénario envisagé.So we specify on the surface of this light plate the precise distribution of color temperatures and luminances for each scenario considered.

Cette plaque lumineuse 3 peut utiliser de nombreuses technologies disponibles, du type éclairage par la tranche à l'aide de tubes ou de lignes de sources ponctuelles tel que des leds, éclairage par émision lumineuse du substrat, éclairage par plaques fluorescentes, nappes de sources lumineuses sur la surface de la plaque, tel que des leds, cristaux liquides ou autres technologies d'écrans lumineux, éclairage à l'aide de sources disposées derrière une plaque.This light plate 3 can use many available technologies, such as edge lighting using tubes or point source lines such as LEDs, lighting by emission substrate light, fluorescent plate lighting, light sources on the surface of the plate, such as LEDs, crystals liquids or other light screen technologies, lighting using sources arranged behind a plate.

La figure 2 représente un exemple de plaque lumineuse 3 constituée de sources lumineuses S1 à S6 situées derrière une plaque diffusante 4. Le nombre de sources lumineuses est choisi pour chaque application particulière et peut le cas échéant être supérieure à 6 voire très élevé.Figure 2 shows an example of a light plate 3 consisting of light sources S1 to S6 located behind a plate diffusante 4. The number of light sources is chosen for each particular application and may if necessary be greater than 6 or even very Student.

La figure 3 représente un autre exemple de plaque lumineuse 3 utilisant des sources de lumière S7, S8 situées en périphérie, du type diodes électroluminescentes, tubes fluorescents ou autres. La lumière pénètre ainsi dans un caisson ou un matériau 5 et la lumière est ensuite diffusée vers l'extérieur, selon les flèches référencées par D. Les sources de lumière sont dans ce cas réparties de préférence sur l'ensemble de la périphérie du cadre support.Figure 3 shows another example of a light plate 3 using light sources S7, S8 located at the periphery, of the type light emitting diodes, fluorescent tubes or the like. The light thus enters a box or material 5 and the light is then disseminated outside, according to the arrows referenced by D. Sources in this case are preferably distributed over the whole of the periphery of the support frame.

La figure 3 représente encore un autre exemple de plaque lumineuse 3 laquelle est éclairée par des sources internes S9 à S13, pouvant être plus ou moins nombreuses et réparties plus ou moins uniformément. Ceci est le cas de plaques fluorescentes 6, offrant une production de lumière continue, de céramiques ou de tout autre dispositif photoluminescent. Des diodes, cristaux liquides ou autres technologies d'écrans lumineux peuvent également convenir.Figure 3 shows yet another example of a plate luminous 3 which is illuminated by internal sources S9 to S13, may be more or less numerous and more or less distributed uniformly. This is the case of fluorescent plates 6, offering a production of continuous light, ceramics or any other device photoluminescent. Diodes, liquid crystals or other technologies bright screens may also be suitable.

La source de lumière ou le cas échéant une pluralité de sources de lumière sont par conséquent montées dans un cadre support 7 fixé sur une paroi 8 de l'un des murs du local 2.The light source or, where appropriate, a plurality of sources light are therefore mounted in a support frame 7 fixed on a wall 8 of one of the walls of room 2.

Selon l'invention, il est également possible d'utiliser un ensemble de sources lumineuses du type de celles décrites précédemment agencées et réparties dans le cadre support 7. Certain des moyens d'éclairage sont ainsi, selon l'utilisation ou l'effet recherché, des sources de lumière directionnelles.According to the invention, it is also possible to use a set of light sources of the type described above arranged and distributed in the support frame 7. Certain of the means lighting sources are thus, depending on the use or the desired effect, sources directional light.

Le dispositif 1 d'éclairage et de décoration comprend également un élément de décoration 9 représentant par exemple une scène extérieure, montée dans le cadre support 7, de même qu'un moyen de simulation d'un relief associé à l'élément de décoration 9.The lighting and decoration device 1 also includes a decorative element 9 representing for example an outdoor scene, mounted in the support frame 7, as well as a means of simulating a relief associated with the decorative element 9.

Ce moyen de simulation d'un relief, associé à l'élément de décoration 9, est par exemple une image réalisée sur un support permettant à la lumière de la traverser.This means of simulating a relief, associated with the element of decoration 9, is for example an image produced on a support allowing light to pass through it.

Une telle image utilise un dispositif destiné à créer une impression de relief, c'est-à-dire une impression de profondeur.Such an image uses a device intended to create a impression of relief, that is to say an impression of depth.

On peut ainsi utiliser diverses techniques, dont celle des réseaux lenticulaires commercialisés sous la marque KODAK (nom déposé). Various techniques can be used, including that of lenticular networks marketed under the KODAK brand (registered name).

On peut aussi utiliser la superposition de plaques et de films ou toutes autres solutions équivalentes.You can also use the superimposition of plates and films or all other equivalent solutions.

L'image en relief contient par exemple une série d'objets ou d'éléments, dont chacun est positionné selon une distance précise de l'observateur. Selon un ordre établi, du plus près au plus lointain.The relief image contains for example a series of objects or elements, each of which is positioned at a precise distance of the observer. According to an established order, from nearest to farthest.

Divers plans peuvent ainsi être créés, mais on peut également opter pour une répartition des profondeurs qui soit continue.Various plans can thus be created, but one can also opt for a continuous depth distribution.

A titre d'exemple, le ciel ou certains éléments de paysage sont représentés dans le plan le plus lointain possible. L'impression d'éloignement est alors accentuée par la présence d'un premier plan bien détaillé.For example, the sky or certain landscape elements are represented in the farthest possible plane. The impression distance is then accentuated by the presence of a foreground well detailed.

D'autres techniques de simulation du relief peuvent également être utilisées. On peut par exemple opter pour des techniques de projection d'images vidéo, basées sur la réalisation d'images de synthèse en relief ou l'enregistrement d'images par des procédés de type stéréographie.Other relief simulation techniques can also be used. We can, for example, opt for projection of video images, based on the production of synthetic images in relief or recording images by type processes stereography.

A titre d'exemple l'image est placée contre la plaque lumineuse. Mais la distance entre l'image et la source peut être ajustée selon le procédé d'image en relief choisi. Par exemple, dans le cas d'un réseau lenticulaire, l'image doit être plaquée sur la plaque lumineuse 3. Pour les systèmes à plans multiples, des espacements spécifiques peuvent être proposés.For example, the image is placed against the light plate. But the distance between the image and the source can be adjusted according to the chosen relief image process. For example, in the case of a network lenticular, the image must be placed on the light plate 3. For multi-plane systems, specific spacings can be proposed.

Dans le cas ou l'effet en relief est créé par un dispositif de projection ou d'écran de type écran d'ordinateur, la source de lumière 3 et l'élément de décoration 9, par exemple le dispositif d'image, peuvent ne faire qu'un. On peut cependant imaginer que malgré tout, un dispositif d'image fixe soit placé devant en sus.In the case where the relief effect is created by a device for projection or screen type computer screen, the light source 3 and the decorative element 9, for example the image device, may not make that one. One can however imagine that despite everything, a device still image is placed in front in addition.

Le dispositif conforme à l'invention représenté par exemple à la figure 1 comprend un filtre 10 monté sur le cadre support 7.The device according to the invention shown for example in the FIG. 1 comprises a filter 10 mounted on the support frame 7.

Ce filtre 10 absorbe partiellement la lumière émise par la source lumineuse, et l'élément de décoration 9 est observé à travers ledit filtre 10. Ce filtre 10 est un élément destiné à accrocher le regard mais permettant néanmoins la vision d'une scène lumineuse. Il peut être constitué de tout système utilisé en combinaison avec une fenêtre pour se protéger de la lumière, tel un store vénitien, tissu de type screen ou autre, volet en bois, jalousie, moucharabieh, plaque perforée, plaque de métal déployé, ou plaque de verre avec des lignes sérigraphiées ou collées.This filter 10 partially absorbs the light emitted by the source luminous, and the decorative element 9 is observed through said filter 10. This filter 10 is an element intended to catch the eye but allowing nevertheless the vision of a light scene.
