| 20090175050 | PROCESS FOR MAKING LIGHT GUIDES WITH EXTRACTION STRUCTURES AND LIGHT GUIDES PRODUCED THEREBY - A process comprises imagewise exposing at least a portion of a photoreactive composition to light sufficient to cause simultaneous absorption of at least two photons/thereby inducing at least one acid- or radical-initiated chemical reaction where the composition is exposed to the light, the imagewise exposing being carried out in a pattern that is effective to define at least the surface of a plurality of light extraction structures. Each one of the array of light extraction structures has at least one shape factor; the shape factor may vary across the array. At least one light extraction structure may have the geometric configuration of a truncated asphere. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090279321 | PROCESS FOR MAKING LIGHT GUIDES WITH EXTRACTION STRUCTURES AND LIGHT GUIDES PRODUCED THEREBY - A process comprises imagewise exposing at least a portion of a photoreactive composition to light sufficient to cause simultaneous absorption of at least two photons, thereby inducing at least one acid- or radical-initiated chemical reaction where the composition is exposed to the light, the imagewise exposing being carried out in a pattern that is effective to define at least the surface of a plurality of light extraction structures. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090285543 | PROCESS FOR MAKING LIGHT GUIDES WITH EXTRACTION STRUCTURES AND LIGHT GUIDES PRODUCED THEREBY - A process comprises imagewise exposing at least a portion of a photoreactive composition to light sufficient to cause simultaneous absorption of at least two photons, thereby inducing at least one acid- or radical-initiated chemical reaction where the composition is exposed to the light, the imagewise exposing being carried out in a pattern that is effective to define at least the surface of a plurality of light extraction structures. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100288614 | LIGHTGUIDES HAVING LIGHT EXTRACTION STRUCTURES PROVIDING REGIONAL CONTROL OF LIGHT OUTPUT - Lightguides, devices incorporating lightguides, and processes for making lightguides are described. A lightguide includes light extractors arranged in a pattern on a surface of the lightguide. The pattern of light extractors is arranged to enhance uniformity of light output across a surface of the lightguide and to provide enhanced defect hiding. The efficiency of the light extractors is controlled by a shape factor. The areal density of the light extractors across the surface of the lightguide may be substantially constant or may decrease along the direction of propagation of light from the light source. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110243500 | LIGHT GUIDES HAVING ENHANCED LIGHT EXTRACTION - Lightguides, devices incorporating lightguides, processes for making lightguides, and tools used to make lightguides are described. A lightguide includes light extractors arranged in a plurality of regions on a surface of the lightguide. The orientation of light extractors in each region is arranged to enhance uniformity and brightness across a surface of the lightguide and to provide enhanced defect hiding. The efficiency of the light extractors is controlled by the angle of a given light extractor face with respect to a light source illuminating the light guide. | 10-06-2011 |
