Abstract
Description
図1は、一実施形態にかかる照明装置1の外観斜視図である。図2は、図1におけるY-Y断面図である。なお、各図における部材の配置関係を明確にするたに座標軸(X、Y、Z)が図示されているが、かかる座標軸は、一般に高さ方向をZ軸とする3次元空間とは関係なく、照明装置1は任意の姿勢で用いられることができる。
図4Aおよび図4Bは、カップレンズ5と集光レンズ8との間隔により配光が変えられる例を示す図である。図4Aは、カップレンズ5と集光レンズ8との間隔が広く設定された状態を示しており、カップレンズ5の出射光は集光レンズ8の有効径まで広がり、集光レンズ8によってほぼ平行光に屈折され、狭角の配光となる。
図5Aは、出射面に凸部5gが設けられたカップレンズ5-01の例を示す図である。図5Bは、図5Aのカップレンズ5-01による出射面の明るさの例を示す図である。なお、図2~図4Bのカップレンズ5と異なり、凸部5gのみの効果を示すために、出射面に傾斜部5hは設けられていない。
図8Aおよび図8Bは、出射面に傾斜部5hがあるカップレンズ5による端部付近の光の広がりの例を示す図であり、図8Aはカップレンズ5と集光レンズ8との間隔が広く設定された状態、図8Bはカップレンズ5と集光レンズ8との間隔が狭く設定された状態である。
図10は、カップレンズ5の形状の設計の例を示す図である。図10に示されるように、「光源からの出射角度」に応じ、「カップレンズからの出射角度」が設定され、その設定に従って光が反射・屈折されるようにカップレンズ5の各部の面の形状が決定される。例えば、「光源からの出射角度」が10degの場合のように、光源4から直上方向に出射する光は、凹部5dの底面5f(図3D)の内側カーブと、凸部5g(図3D)の外側カーブとで屈折されて出射するので、光が0degで出射するように、それらの面の形状が決定される。また、例えば、「光源からの出射角度」が40degのように、光源4から寝た方向に出射する光は、側面5c(図3D)の外側カーブの内面で全反射し、傾斜部5h(図3D)の外側カーブで屈折されて出射するので、光が23.5degで出射するように、それらの面の形状が決定される。
図11は、比較例の照明装置1’の構成を示す断面図である。図11において、フレーム2’、光源保持部3’、光源4’、回転台6’、反射面6a’、支持壁6b’、集光レンズ保持部7’、集光レンズ8’、カバーレンズ9’は、図2のフレーム2、光源保持部3、光源4、回転台6、反射面6a、支持壁6b、集光レンズ保持部7、集光レンズ8、カバーレンズ9に対応している。異なるのは、カップレンズ5が設けられていないことと、反射面6a’が光源4’からの光を反射するために用いられていることである。
図11~図12Bに示された比較例と、図1~図4Bに示された実施形態との、光軸に対する角度毎の光束比率と、その累計が表1に示されている。比較例では40~90degの漏れ光の光束比率が24.43%であったのに対し、実施形態では7.6%に減少している。漏れ光の減少により、グレアが低減する。また、比較例では0~10degの中心付近の光束比率が31.30%であったのに対し、実施形態では約2倍の59.5%に増大している。
一般照明の分野では、演出の際などに、RGB(Red、Green、Blue)の光源を利用した、白色以外の色が照射可能な「カラー照明」が利用される場合がある。ここで、光源には、赤色、緑色、青色に対応する発光波長の異なる複数のLED等の発光素子が使用されるが、この場合、発光波長の異なる発光素子が微小ではあるが離間して配置されることに起因して充分に混色が行われず、照射面に色ムラが発生しやすい。
