Abstract

A spot illumination system (10) comprising a collimating element (2) formed by a set of N funnel shaped reflectors (11) and a set of N light source arrays (1), each comprising a plurality of light sources (12). The reflectors each have a reflecting inner surface, an entrance aperture and an exit aperture, and are arranged in a bundle with all entrance apertures in one end and all exit apertures in an opposite end. The funnel shaped reflectors are further truncated so that a side (12) of a reflector facing an adjacent reflector terminates before the opposite end, such that the collimating element has N entrance apertures (7) leading into N funnel shaped reflectors (11), which funnel shaped reflectors merge into one single exit aperture (8). The N light source arrays (1) and arranged to emit light into one of the entrance apertures (7), respectively. The light from each light array is initially guided and mixed by a separate funnel shaped reflector, and then mixed with light from the other light arrays. As a result, an improved mixing and collimation is achieved compared to arranging N funnel shaped reflectors next to each other, and emitting light from N exit apertures.

INSTRUCTIONS: [Technical Fields of the Invention] The present invention relates to a point illumination system in which light from a plurality of light sources is collimated to achieve a high power point illumination. [Prior Art] A white light source having a color filter has been widely used in point lighting applications such as scene setting or other atmosphere establishment lighting. Recently, illumination systems having colored light sources, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), have been developed as an alternative. The use of a colored light source eliminates the need for filtering and therefore increases efficiency and color consistency (replacement of the filter may introduce variations). In addition, the emitted color can be changed electronically' and all available colors are always available without any hardware replacement. As the performance of LEDs improves, the market for such systems is growing rapidly. In point lighting applications, the uniformity of the emitted light is critical. An example of a lighting system for point illumination is described in US 6,200,002, wherein a tubular collimator collimates light from an array of light sources disposed in the entrance of the collimator. Multi-channel, high-throughput applications such as CDM replacement spots and multi-color entertainment spots (for theater/tours/stage/studio) require high-light rounds. Some applications (such as tours (temporary equipment, such as pop concerts, etc.) and buildings, households, and street lighting) have a light output of approximately 10 klmi5〇1〇1. To achieve a light output in this order of magnitude, a large 4 points (form 2 LED) is required and the point sources must be packaged in a small array of 154454.doc 201200802. The performance of one of the individual LED packages is usually limited. On the other hand, dedicated large LED arrays have a low yield in nature, and for many applications, dedicated large LED arrays are too expensive. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One object of the present invention is to provide a point illumination system with sufficient light output with satisfactory 'color mixing and collimation, which can be manufactured or assembled at high yields. This and other objects are achieved by a point illumination system comprising a collimating element and a set of N light source arrays, each light source array comprising a plurality of light sources. The collimating element is formed by a set of N funnel shaped reflectors, each funnel shaped reflector having a reflective inner surface, an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture 'the outlet aperture being larger than the inlet aperture, the funnel shaped reflector Arranged in a bundle such that all inlet apertures are at one end and all exit apertures are at an opposite end 'and wherein the funnel-shaped reflectors are truncated such that one of the reflectors facing one of the adjacent reflectors is The opposite ends are terminated such that the collimating elements have N inlet apertures leading to the N funnel shaped reflectors that merge into a single exit aperture. The N arrays of light sources are configured to emit light in one of the inlet apertures, respectively. * Thus the collimating element according to the invention receives light from N sources - and combines it to emit a beam from the single exit aperture. Light from each of the light arrays is initially guided and mixed by a single funnel-shaped reflector and then mixed with light from other light arrays. Thus, an improved mixing and collimation is achieved as compared to configuring the N funnel-shaped reflectors to abut each other and emit light from the N exit apertures. 154454.doc 201200802 The collimating element according to the present invention further seamlessly combines N individual beams into a beam such that there are no visible boundaries between the individual beams. The N light source arrays are preferably substantially identical. This provides an efficient process and achieves optimum efficiency of the collimating element. A symmetrical one can be avoided to rotate each substantially identical array of light sources about an optical axis. This collimation and optical mixing are further improved by avoiding symmetry. In the context of the background, a symmetric configuration of one of the plurality of light source arrays implies that the relative rotation of the parent array corresponds to the number of arrays. For example, if N = 3, the relative rotation between the arrays should not be 12 degrees to avoid symmetry. The truncated funnel-shaped reflectors are preferably arranged so closely together that the single outlet aperture is smaller than one of a plurality of exit apertures of the uncut funnel-shaped reflector (preferably than the combination) Small 1% to 20%). This design further enhances collimation and light mixing. A distance between adjacent arrays of light sources is preferably between 0.5 and 2 times the effective diameter of an array of light sources. According to an embodiment, the distance of the array of adjacent light sources is approximately equal to the effective diameter of an array of light sources. This distribution of arrays of light sources (and thus some of the inlet apertures of the collimating elements) has been shown to provide satisfactory alignment and mixing. One of the effective diameters of the single exit aperture is preferably one of the effective diameters of one of the light source arrays multiplied by 1.5 to 6 times N. This means that a beam width of light emitted from each of the light source arrays passes through the collimating element. Allow to widen to 15x to 6x. Each array of light sources can include at least one set of light sources configured to emit light of a first color and at least one set configured to emit a second color different from the first color 154454.doc • 6 · 201200802 The source of light. By having multiple colors in each array of light sources, the point illumination system can be controlled to emit a variety of colors. In this case, the light mixing of the collimating element of the present invention will comprise color mixing. Color mixing is effective within the optical device as compared to light mixing in the far field (e.g., on a wall). One of the collimating elements according to the present invention achieves an optical efficiency of more than 70%, which is challenging to obtain a collimating and hybrid optical device having high brightness. In this context, a set of light sources can be a single light source, or can be a group of light sources that are configured together. For example, a set of light sources can be provided in the form of a row of light sources in a two dimensional (2D) array. This number N can be any number greater than one. However, in several embodiments currently considered, this number > ^ belongs to the set [2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12]. What has not been shown is that in this case of a number N, the funnel reflector can be parentally corrected to provide satisfactory light mixing. [Embodiment] Fig. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of an illumination system suitable for point illumination of an atmosphere establishing illumination, such as scene setting. Here, the illumination system i includes three light source arrays (such as an LED array) mounted on a carrier such as a printed circuit board (?(:8)3), the carrier being disposed on a heat sink 4 The heat sink 4 is then disposed on a heat sink 5. The lighting system 1 further includes a collimating element 2 having a reflective inner surface. The collimating element has three inlet apertures 7 and a single outlet. Holes 8, each of which is aligned with the array of light sources 1. At the exit aperture 8 of the collimating element 2, a diffusing member (here in the form of an optical diffusing sheet 9) and/or is provided. Or step I54454.doc 201200802 collimating the beam of the field lens. The system further includes circuitry for powering and controlling the array of light sources, but because the circuit is not necessary for the disclosure of the present invention The description of the circuit has been omitted for the sake of brevity. A spacer ring 14 can serve as a mechanical and optical interface between the array of light sources and the collimating element. The collimating element 2 (shown in more detail in Figure 2) Component) Corresponding to the shape of one of the two funnel-shaped tubular reflectors 11, the reflectors are mutually staggered. Here, each tubular reflector has a polygonal cross section in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the illumination system, In the illustrated case, the side of the seven sides (a heptagonal profile) β that is in contact with the edges of several adjacent reflectors has been truncated to terminate before the ends of the collimating element. The reflectors merge into an exit aperture 8. The entrance apertures 7a, 7b, 7c of the reflectors each form one of the inlet apertures of the collimating element 2. The optical axes of the individual reflectors 11 can face the entire The optical axis of the illumination system is slightly tilted. This further improves the combination of the beams from the individual source arrays into a single beam. In Figure 2, the reflective inner surfaces of the reflectors 11a through 11c are straight. The surface may also be a convex shape as seen from the optical axis of each entrance aperture, that is, a louver eight-shaped reflector may be formed. It is also possible to have a concave inner surface. It is possible to assemble or assemble a plurality of parts by one. single The component (for example, by injection molding or rapid prototyping) is made of a polymeric material. The body of the 154454.doc 201200802 straight 70 piece. Then, a highly reflective foil (such as Mir〇 foil) can be attached (for example) Glueing onto the inner surface of the body. Alternatively, the inner surface may be coated with a high mirror. The reflective component of the envelope may be relatively thin with a thickness between 0.5 mm and 10 mm, preferably Between 7 mm and .5 mm, preferably between 〇·8 mm and 2 mm. The reflective component can be in contact with the heat sink 4 or the heat sink 5, and preferably A reflective member is attached to the plate 3 on which the array of light sources is mounted. Optionally, a POC is disposed at or near the exit aperture 8 of the collimating element. It should be noted that the illumination system can generally include any number N of substantially identical arrays of light sources and corresponding numbers of funnel-shaped reflectors that are parentally altered to form one having an exit aperture 8 Collimating element 2. For example, N may be 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, or 12, and some examples will be given below. The polygonal section can have any number of sides, such as 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. Alternatively, the profile is not a polygon at all, but may be a circle or an ellipse. Figure 3 shows the layout of the array of light sources and their etc. in more detail. Here, each array 1 is substantially identical and includes a plurality of illumination devices 13 (such as LEDs). The light source array 1 may comprise between 5 and 250, and typically between 70 and 150 light sources. A high density package of LED arrays may have one or two EPI densities, preferably between 5 Between % and 7〇%, and more preferably between 15% and 50%. Each array may further comprise sets (e.g., 2 to 8 sets) of light sources that emit different colors, such as a set of red LEDs, a set of blue LEDs, and a set of green 154454.doc 201200802 LEDs. According to another example, the array of light sources comprises white (W), red (R), green (G), blue (B) or amber (A), cyan (C), deep red (dR) and / Or dark blue (dB) emission spectrum LED. By combining them, any desired spectrum that falls within the color space of the color coordinates of the LEDs starting with WRGBAdRdB can be obtained. Other combinations are also possible, such as neutral white and warm white (NW+WW), combined with cool white (eg CW+WW), (RGBA), (RGBAW), (RGBW), (RGBAC), (RGBAdR) , (RGBACdR) and (RGBACdRW). The arrays of light sources can be rotated relative to each other to avoid symmetry. For example, in the case of having three light source arrays 1, the light source array 1 should be rotated at an angle different from 120 degrees. The lumen output of each array of light sources can be from about 1 klm to 10 klm, and by combining several arrays of light sources, the combined lumen output of the illumination system can be 40 klm or greater. The distance L between adjacent arrays of light sources can be between 0.5 and 2 times the effective diameter of an array of LEDs, and in a given example, this distance L is approximately 0.8 D.

It is apparent that the collimating element can convert a Lambertian light distribution from one of the light sources (such as LEDs) into a desired beam shape from 1 〇〇 to 40 °FWHM 154454.doc •10·201200802. In the case of a multi-color source array 1, the collimating element should be provided with a satisfactory color mixing, i.e., collimating and mixing elements 2. In one step, it is preferred to apply a transparent protective layer on top of the array of light sources or on at least some of the components of the array of light sources. These components (such as led) and wires connected to the circuit are then protected from moisture, contamination and undesired damage. This can be achieved by cutting suspension (such as a dome package), upper molding or underfill technology. A transmissive member can be further disposed directly on the top of each of the light source arrays 1. The transmissive member can be a single lens or curved surface or a component comprising a plurality of lenses, microstructures or planar elements. The transmissive member can comprise a transmissive ceramic material, a substantially transmissive glass or polymeric foil material. The transmissive component can further include a transmissive germanium layer in direct contact with the array of LEDs to improve optical light output coupling. The transmissive member may also include an optical structure (such as a microlens array) having a lens shape on its surface. To further improve the uniformity of the light output of the illumination system while minimizing the reduction in output efficiency, the illumination system i 〇 may advantageously comprise one of the optical diffusing members 9 disposed at the exit aperture 8 of the tubular reflector 2 . Since the light is generally relatively uniform near the optical axis, the light diffusing member 9 has a lower diffusing power there than at a position farther from the optical axis. For example, this can be achieved by providing a film comprising one of the scattering particles, wherein the concentration of the scattering particles increases as the distance from the optical axis of the illumination system 10 increases. Alternatively, the optical diffusing member 9 has a hole in between and thus does not absorb or scatter any light from the illumination system 1 靠近 154454.doc 201200802 that is adjacent to the optical axis of the illumination system 10. The diffuse 35 gamma (9) gamma sub-complementary hologram of the optical diffusing member 9 as the scattering particles is used in other ways (such as through a king image pattern and/or a surface undulation, ridge phase 椹# <51 #. It should be noted that the light diffusing member 9 may advantageously be made of a polymeric material. /6 shows a profile of one of the collimating elements formed by merely interlacing the two tubular reflectors.
