Backlight Assembly With A Light Pipe Having An Integral Surface Diffuser

View page
US Patent:
6347873, Feb 19, 2002
Filed:
Jul 8, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/350198
Inventors:
Abbas Hosseini - Torrance CA
Hyun-Sun Chung - Fullerton CA
Anatoly Vasiliev - Torrance CA
Gajendra D. Savant - Rancho Palos Verdes CA
Assignee:
Physical Optics Corporation - Torrance CA
International Classification:
F21V 1304
US Classification:
362 31, 385146, 385901, 362561, 362558
Abstract:
A backlight assembly is disclosed having a light pipe and at least one light source located at an edge of the light pipe. The light pipe has a back surface and a front surface opposite the back surface.

The light pipe also has an integral surface diffuser microstructure molded, embossed, or otherwise replicated in the front surface of the light pipe.

Vehicle Light Assembly Including A Diffuser Surface Structure

View page
US Patent:
6352359, Mar 5, 2002
Filed:
Aug 25, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/139377
Inventors:
Rick L. Shie - Westlake Village CA
Jeffrey A. Laine - Redondo Beach CA
Gajendra D. Savant - Torrance CA
Assignee:
Physical Optics Corporation - Torrance CA
International Classification:
F21V 500
US Classification:
362522, 362331, 362334, 362509, 362521, 362541
Abstract:
A vehicle light assembly includes a lens cover from which light emanates. A light shaping surface microstructure is carried in a portion of the light assembly. The microstructure can be incorporated into many different surfaces of the light assembly such as a surface of the lens cover, a surface of a macro-optical structure on the lens cover, or on a reflective surface of the assembly. The microstructure homogenizes and directs light emanating from the light assembly via reflection or transmission to provide a smooth, continuous pattern of light having a predetermined distribution shape or envelope and a predetermined directionality.

Non-Lambertian Glass Diffuser And Method Of Making

View page
US Patent:
6352759, Mar 5, 2002
Filed:
Aug 20, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/136995
Inventors:
Gajendra D. Savant - Torrance CA
Assignee:
Physical Optics Corporation - Torrance CA
International Classification:
B29D 1100
US Classification:
428156, 428913, 359599, 359707, 264 121, 65 93, 65102
Abstract:
A glass diffuser is fabricated by first producing a metal shim submaster or other high temperature resistant diffuser having a surface relief structure on one surface. A glass substrate material is heated to a suitable temperature and at least one exposed surface is thereby softened to a desired degree. The submaster diffuser, and particularly the surface relief structure, is then placed in contact with the exposed and softened glass substrate material in order to replicate the surface relief structure in the glass material. The submaster diffuser and the glass substrate are separated and then the glass is allowed to cool to form a glass diffuser.

Diffuser Master

View page
US Patent:
6462888, Oct 8, 2002
Filed:
Jan 12, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/759388
Inventors:
Gajendra D. Savant - Torrance CA
Kevin H. Yu - Temple City CA
Andrew A. Kostrzewski - Garden Grove CA
Assignee:
Physical Optics Corporation - Torrance CA
International Classification:
G02B 1320
US Classification:
359707, 359708, 359599, 359834
Abstract:
A diffuser master is provided which is manufactured mechanically instead of holographically. The master can be made from a suitable substrate including relatively hard materials such as plastic, glass or metal. A substrate having a first side is worked to form a diffuser surface relief structure thereon. The substrate can be buffed using a buffing agent of a selected grit in order to form surface scratches in the first side of the substrate. The substrate can also be blasted with shot particles in order to form indentations and depressions in the first side. The substrate can alternatively be acid or alkali etched in order to form surface irregularities in the first side. The scratches, depressions or irregularities can be formed in order to create a desired surface relief and hence desired diffuser output characteristics.

Filed:
Dec 7, 2000

Optical Element Having An Integral Surface Diffuser

View page
US Patent:
6483976, Nov 19, 2002
Filed:
May 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/851815
Inventors:
Rick L. Shie - Westlake Village CA
Jeffrey A. Laine - Redondo Beach CA
Gajendra D. Savant - Torrance CA
Tomasz P. Jannson - Torrance CA
Assignee:
Physical Optics Corporation - Torrance CA
International Classification:
G02B 600
US Classification:
385133, 385146, 359566
Abstract:
A monolithic element has a substrate body and at least one macro-optical characteristic integral in a first portion of the optical element. A plurality of surface micro-structures are integral in a portion of the optical element. The micro-structures are designed to homogenize light passing through the optical element to produce a predetermined pattern of smoothly varying, non-discontinuous light exiting the optical element. The light exiting the optical element is therefore altered according to both the macro-optical characteristic of the optical element as well as the homogenizing characteristics of the micro-structures.

Passive Matrix Liquid Crystal Display

View page
US Patent:
6522374, Feb 18, 2003
Filed:
Aug 25, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/139455
Inventors:
Rick L. Shie - Westlake Village CA
Jeffrey A. Laine - Redondo Beach CA
Gajendra D. Savant - Torrance CA
Assignee:
Physical Optics Corporation - Torrance CA
International Classification:
G02F 11335
US Classification:
349113, 349112, 359599
Abstract:
A viewing surface in the form of a passive liquid crystal display or front projection viewing screen includes a substrate layer of material having a front side and a back side. A light shaping micro-sculpted surface structure is provided on one side of the substrate layer wherein the microstructure controls the directionality, gain, homogeneity and shape distribution of the light propagated by the screen or display. A reflective layer is deposited on the opposite back side of the substrate layer and reflects light incident upon the substrate layer back through the substrate layer toward a viewing screen surface. This type of construction can be used directly as a viewing screen or can be utilized behind a display such as a liquid crystal display in order to significantly enhance the brightness of such a display or screen. The microstructure can be integral on either the front side of the substrate layer or beneath the reflective layer on the back side of the layer.
