Abstract

A portable light panel includes a housing having a rear portion, a front portion and peripheral portions between the front and rear portions, the peripheral portions include air intake openings, and the housing defines an air intake chamber. A light emitting panel and electronic components to control the light emitted by the light-emitting panel are also provided in the light panel. The electronic components are located proximate the air intake chamber between the housing and the light emitting panel. Ambient air is drawn into the air intake chamber and directed onto the electronic components to maintain the electronic components at a desired operating temperature.

Claims (19)

1 . A portable light panel comprising:

a. a housing having a rear portion, a front portion, peripheral portions between the front and rear portions, and at least one rib extending between the peripheral portions, the peripheral portions including ambient air inlets, the housing comprising a housing panel and a cover plate attached to housing panel defining an air intake chamber between the housing panel and cover plate;

b. a light-emitting panel;

c. electronic components to control the light emitted by the light-emitting panel, a first portion of the electronic components being located proximate the air intake chamber between the housing and the light emitting panel, and wherein the ambient air is drawn into the air intake chamber and directed onto the first portion of electronic components to maintain the first portion of electronic components at a desired operating temperature;

d. a fan configured to actively draw the ambient air into the air intake chamber through the ambient air inlets and direct the ambient air onto the electronic components;

e. a first heat sink positioned on a portion of the housing panel, wherein the first heat sink dissipates heat from a portion of the electronic components located proximate the rear portion of the housing; and

f. a second heat sink positioned within the air intake chamber, wherein the heat sink further dissipates heat from the portion of the electronic components located proximate the rear portion of the housing.

2 . The portable light panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises handles are formed along each of the peripheral portions.

3 . The portable light panel as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the handles includes an upper ambient air inlet.

4 . The portable light panel as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising a groove provided along the rear portion.

5 . The portable light panel as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the light emitting panel has a width extending along the at least one rib, a height extending along the peripheral portions, and an aspect ratio of the width to the height of 1:1.

6 . A portable light panel comprising:

a. a housing having a rear portion, a front portion, a bottom portion, and peripheral portions between the front and rear portions, the bottom portion including an ambient air slot for ambient air to enter and exit the housing, the housing comprising a housing panel defining a back of an air intake chamber, the housing panel comprising at least one ridge for directing the ambient air drawn into the air intake chamber;

b. a light-emitting panel;

c. electronic components to control the light emitted by the light-emitting panel, a first portion of the electronic components being located proximate the air intake chamber between the housing and the light emitting panel, and wherein the ambient air is drawn into the air intake chamber and directed onto the electronic components to maintain the electronic components at a desired operating temperature.

7 . The portable light panel as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising a heat sink positioned on a portion of the housing panel, wherein the heat sink is in fluidic communication with the ambient air to dissipate heat from a second portion of the electronic components located within a back electronic housing.

8 . The portable light panel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the rear portion comprises a central surface, and tapered surfaces extending from the central surface towards the peripheral portions.

9 . The portable light panel as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising a groove provided along the rear portion.

10 . The portable light panel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the light emitting panel has a width extending along the bottom portion, a height extending along the peripheral portions, and an aspect ratio of the width to the height of 2:1.
