Abstract

An illumination device is provided in the present disclosure. The illumination device may include a substrate having a first surface, at least one light-aggregation component having a free-form curved surface and located on the first surface, at least one light source at least partially surrounded by the light-aggregation component, and a light-mix component positioned adjacent to the first surface and the at least one light-aggregation component thereof.

Claims (44)

1. An illumination device, comprising:

a substrate having a first surface;

at least one light-aggregation component located on the first surface;

at least one light source at least partially surrounded by the light-aggregation component; and

a light-mix component positioned adjacent to the first surface and the at least one light-aggregation component thereof;

wherein the light-mix component comprises a light-incident side, a light-emitting side opposite to the light-incident side, and a body part between the light-incident side and the light-emitting side, and wherein the light-incident side faces the first surface of the substrate and the at least one light-aggregation component;

the body part is hollow and has an inner cavity surface covered by a light reflecting material; and

a light-absorbing component is disposed on the inner cavity surface of the body part and positioned adjacent to the light-incident side.

2. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises a light-emitting diode.

3. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the light-aggregation component with an inner surface is a reflector configured for reflecting light from the light source therein.

4. The illumination device of claim 3 , wherein the inner surface of the light-aggregation component is a free-form curved surface.

5. The illumination device of claim 3 , wherein the inner surface of the light-aggregation component is a plane surface.

6. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the light-aggregation component protrudes from the first surface of the substrate.

7. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the light-aggregation component rested in a recess of the first surface.

8. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the light-mix component is an integration rod.

9. The illumination device of claim 1 , further comprising:

another light-absorbing component disposed on the first surface of the substrate.

10. The illumination device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a light-absorbing component disposed on the body part and positioned adjacent to the light-incident side, and another light-absorbing component disposed on the first surface of the substrate.

11. The illumination device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a lens module arranged adjacent to the light-mix component.

12. The illumination device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a zoom component arranged between the light-mix component and the lens module.

13. The illumination device of claim 12 , further comprising:

a gobo wheel or a color wheel arranged between the zoom component and the lens module.

14. The illumination device of claim 1 , wherein the light-absorbing component is made of a black material.

15. An illumination device, comprising:

a substrate having a first surface;

at least one light-aggregation component located on the first surface;

at least one light source at least partially surrounded by the light-aggregation component; and

a light-mix component positioned adjacent to the first surface and the at least one light-aggregation component thereof;

wherein the light-mix component comprises a light-incident side, a light-emitting side opposite to the light-incident side, and a body part between the light-incident side and the light-emitting side, and wherein the light-incident side faces the first surface of the substrate and the at least one light-aggregation component;

the body part is hollow and has an inner cavity surface covered by a light reflecting material;

a light-absorbing component is disposed on the inner cavity surface of the body part and positioned adjacent to the light-incident side, and another light-absorbing component is disposed on the first surface of the substrate.

16. The illumination device of claim 15 , wherein the light-absorbing component is made of a black material.

17. An illumination device, comprising:

a substrate having a first surface;

at least one light-aggregation component located on the first surface;

at least one light source at least partially surrounded by the light-aggregation component; and

a light-mix component positioned adjacent to the first surface and the at least one light-aggregation component thereof;

wherein the light-mix component comprises a light-incident side, a light-emitting side opposite to the light-incident side, and a body part between the light-incident side and the light-emitting side, and wherein the light-incident side faces the first surface of the substrate and the at least one light-aggregation component;

a light-absorbing component is disposed on a surface of the body part facing the at least one light source and positioned adjacent to the light-incident side.

18. The illumination device of claim 17 , wherein the body part is hollow and has an inner cavity surface covered by a light reflecting material.

19. The illumination device of claim 17 , wherein the light-absorbing component is made of a black material.
