Definitions
- the present description refers to lighting devices.
- the invention relates to luminous signage devices including lighting modules.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing signage devices.
- LED lighting modules have increasingly spread over the last few years.
- the LED lighting modules have been used in various applications, for example general lighting, automotive lighting, luminous signage etc.
- the various applications pose different requirements, and the need is felt of a universal LED module being adapted to meet the requirements in a variety of different applications.
- the lighting modules may be enclosed within a block of acrylic material, wherein three sides of the block may be coated with a reflective material in order to provide a uniform light radiation distribution on the letters or symbols of the luminous signage device.
- two systems are available in the state of the art: one may envisage the arrangement of a plurality of lighting modules below the light emission surface of the signage device, while the other may include the use of a complex system in order to produce multiple reflections and mix the light radiation inside the luminous signage device.
- US2016178166-A1 discloses an LED module including a plurality of light-emitting diodes disposed only on a lateral surface of a right cone, a right pyramid, a truncated right cone, or a truncated right pyramid.
- DE10350913-A1 discloses a flexible circuit board having diode regions laminated on a support.
- One or more embodiments aim at providing a luminous signage device including a lighting module offering a better light distribution uniformity.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing a luminous signage device including one or more lighting modules.
- reference 10 denotes a planar printed circuit board.
- the printed circuit board 10 may have a first surface 12, on which a plurality of electrically powered light radiation sources 14 may be fixed.
- the electrically powered light radiation sources 14 may be solid-state light radiation sources, such as LED sources.
- the light radiation sources 14 may have respective light emission surfaces 16, parallel to the first surface 12 of printed circuit board 10.
- the light radiation sources 14 may be top emission LEDs.
- the light radiation sources 14 may be fixed onto respective rigid portions 18 of the printed circuit board 10.
- Connector devices 22 may be fixed onto a rigid portion 18 devoid of light radiation sources 14.
- the printed circuit board 10 may also host electrical driving components (not shown) for driving and controlling the light radiation sources 14.
- the light radiation sources 14, the electrical connectors 22 and the electronic driving components may be attached to the printed circuit board 10 by soldering, according to techniques known in the field of production of LED lighting devices.
- the printed circuit board 10 may be folded into a three-dimensional structure 24, having three or more planar faces 26 formed by respective rigid portions 18 of the printed circuit board 10.
- the planar faces 26 of the three-dimensional structure 24 may extend around a main axis A.
- the rigid portion 18 carrying the connector devices 22 may be orthogonal to the main axis A.
- the flexible portions 20 of the printed circuit board 10 may form rounded corners between the planar faces 26 of the three-dimensional structure 24.
- the three-dimensional structure 24 may be folded around a rigid support 28 located within the three-dimensional structure 24.
- the three-dimensional structure 24 may be attached to the rigid support 28 e.g. by gluing.
- the rigid support 28 may have the shape of a three-dimensional solid figure having a polygonal shape, e.g. triangular, square, pentagonal etc.
- the three-dimensional structure 24 may have a cubic or parallelepiped shape, having four faces 26 oriented at 90° one with respect to the other.
- the lighting module 32 may include three or more electrically powered light radiation sources 14, fixed to respective faces 26 of the three-dimensional structure 24.
- the light radiation sources 24 may have respective emission surfaces 16 facing outwards of the three-dimensional structure 24.
- the light radiation sources may be angularly equidistant from each other in a plane orthogonal to the main axis A, along an angle of 360°.
- the angular distance between the light radiation sources 14 may amount to 360°/n, wherein n is the number of faces 26 of the three-dimensional structure 24 parallel to main axis A.
- the three-dimensional structure 24 may be fixed to a rigid support 28 located within the three-dimensional structure 24.
- the three-dimensional structure 24 may include a base 34 orthogonal to the main axis A and carrying connector devices 22.
- the connector devices 22 may be IDCs (Insulation-Displacement Connectors) provided with cutting edges 36, between which an insulated cable 38 may be inserted. As shown in Figures 7 and 8 , when the cable 38 is inserted between the cutting edges 36 of contacts 22, the edges 36 cut the insulating coating of cable 38 and establish an electrical connection with the conductive portion of cable 38.
- IDCs Insulation-Displacement Connectors
- the lighting module 32 may be devoid of light radiation sources on a surface orthogonal to main axis A opposed to base 34.
- the three-dimensional structure (24) may include three or more planar faces 26 in a plane containing said main axis (A) and carrying respective electrically-powered light radiation sources (14) equidistant from each other.
- the lighting module 32 may have a face orthogonal to axis A and opposite base 34 carrying a light radiation source 14.
- this arrangement may be obtained starting from a T-shaped planar printed circuit board, as shown in Figure 9 , which may then be folded so as to form a three-dimensional structure having two opposite faces orthogonal to main axis A.
- casing 42 may have a reflective side wall 50.
- the reflective side wall 50 may be the outer surface of casing 42.
- the cavity 44 may also have a bottom wall opposed to the light emitting wall 46. In one or more embodiments, also the bottom wall of cavity 44 may be reflective.
- the lighting modules 32 may emit light radiation having a distribution over 360° around the respective main axes A.
- the light radiation emitted by the lighting modules 32 may be parallel to the light emitting wall 46 of the luminous signage device 40.
- the light radiation generated by the lighting modules 32 may be reflected by the reflective outer surface 50 and by the bottom wall of cavity 44.
- the reflected light radiation may illuminate the light emitting wall 46 of the signage device 40 with a uniform distribution. This distribution may avoid or reduce light spots and/or dark areas on the light emitting wall 46.
- the light radiation generated by the lighting modules 32 may therefore be mainly directed onto the reflective walls of cavity 44, without directly illuminating the light emitting wall 46 of the signage device 40.
- the lighting modules 32 may be fixed in the casing 42 of the signage device 40 by means of an additional encapsulating layer. In one or more embodiments, the lighting modules 32 may be glued to the casing 42 or to the light emitting wall 46 of the signage device 40.

- the three-dimensional structure (e.g. 24) may be encapsulated in a polymeric material (e.g. 30).
- One or more embodiments may concern a method for producing a lighting module (e.g. 32), including:
- the method may include encapsulating said three-dimensional structure (e.g. 24) into a polymeric material (e.g. 32).
- One or more embodiments may concern a luminous signage device (e.g. 40) including a casing (e.g. 42) having a cavity (e.g. 44) and a light emitting wall (e.g. 46) that covers one side of said cavity (e.g. 44), including one or more lighting modules (e.g. 32) arranged in said cavity (e.g. 44), with said main axis (e.g. A) orthogonal to said light emitting wall (e.g. 46) .
