Description

Lighting fixture using fiber optic fabric and manufacturing method thereof

The present invention relates to a lighting fixture using an optical fiber fabric, and more particularly, by woven fiber optic fabric that can emit light in various shapes or attached to a frame of a predetermined shape, the space occupancy can be minimized, but the shape is not limited, so that it has general purpose. It relates to a lighting fixture using an optical fiber fabric and a method of manufacturing the same.

In general, the optical fiber refers to a thin fiber having a diameter of about 0.1 mm, which is composed of a high refractive index of the light inside and a low outside to make the total reflection optical phenomenon occur inside the fiber.

It is also called optical fiber because of this optical phenomenon, it is necessary to have a material with high transparency in order to reduce light loss when transmitting light, and use high purity quartz or polymer material with excellent optical properties.

In recent years, various colors can be expressed on optical fibers, which are also used as advertising means.

When optical fibers are densely assembled and fixed in the form of letters or pictures, and light of a specific color is emitted at the opposite end, light is transmitted and appears as a neon effect.

Optical fiber has fast and bright light transmission and can produce various color animations. It can express various forms of advertisement expressions very precisely depending on its thickness.

Due to the nature of using light, it is functional at night or in dark places. For this reason, it is possible to make the optical fiber very thin and make the fiber yarn and weave it with the synthetic yarn to weave clothing and clothing to greatly improve the visibility.

Thus, weaving clothing and other textiles using optical fiber yarns can be useful for rescuers, military or leisure activities.

Light emission using the optical fiber is transmitted to the optical fiber when light is emitted from the light source, and light emission is performed on the cut surface.

At this time, the important point for the light emission of the optical fiber is to emit light only when there is a physical damage site on the outer surface of the optical fiber, such as the cut surface.

Therefore, even if the optical fiber yarn is formed evenly on the entire surface of the fine scratches to obtain a uniform light emitting effect, conventionally, it is possible to emit light from the side by forming a scratch surface through a physical process such as sanding treatment or etching treatment for the optical fiber yarn An optical fiber yarn was manufactured.

However, the conventional optical fiber yarn manufactured as described above has a scratch surface for light emission, but the surface is damaged by scratching, and thus the durability is degraded, thereby causing the problem of being easily cut or damaged. In particular, there is no water resistance. The product has been a problem that can not be washed.
