Abstract

A light emitting device includes a plurality of light emitting elements and a light controller. The light emitting elements are for emitting lights. The light controller is disposed on the light emitting elements for the lights passing through, which is switchable in a first state and a second state. The light controller collimates the lights in the first state and diffuses the lights in the second state.

Claims (14)

1. A light emitting device, comprising:

a plurality of light emitting elements for emitting lights; and

a light controller disposed on the light emitting elements for the lights passing through, which is switchable in a first state and a second state;

wherein the light controller collimates the lights in the first state and diffuses the lights in the second state.

2. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light controller is in a single layer structure which comprises a plurality of switchable diffusers disposed corresponding to the light emitting elements and a plurality of light shielding elements surrounding the switchable diffusers.

3. The light emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein each of the switchable diffusers is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal cell or a polymer network liquid crystal cell.

4. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light controller comprises two layers, one of the layers is a collimator and the other layer is a switchable diffuser disposed on the collimator.

5. The light emitting device according to claim 4 , wherein the two layers are spaced apart from each other by a distance not greater than 0.35 mm.

6. The light emitting device according to claim 4 , wherein the switchable diffuser is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal cell or a polymer network liquid crystal cell.

7. A light emitting device, comprising:

a plurality of light emitting elements for emitting lights; and

a light controller disposed on the light emitting elements, comprising a plurality of cells for the lights from the light emitting elements passing through and a plurality of walls surrounding the cells;

wherein the walls are switchable in states of a transmissive state and a non-transmissive state.

8. The light emitting device according to claim 7 , wherein the walls are made of an electrochromic material or suspend particles.
