Illumination device
Disclosed is an illumination device comprising a radiation-emitting front side and a multiplicity of light sources (R, G, B), wherein said multiplicity of light sources (R, G, B) is divided into light source groups (LG) and the light source groups (LG) are arranged on the grid points of a first regular grid.
1. An illumination device comprising a radiation-emitting front side and a multiplicity of light sources divided into light source groups, wherein said light source groups are arranged on grid point positions of a first regular grid defined on the illumination device,
wherein at least some of said light source groups located in corner regions of said first grid are arranged such that each of the at least some of the light source groups is rotated by an angle related to other of said light source groups located in inner regions of said first grid, and wherein the angle is approximately equal to 45 degrees.
2. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein focal points of said light source groups are arranged on the grid point positions of said first grid.
3. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein respective light sources of any of said light source groups are arranged on a common carrier.
4. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein said first regular grid has a grid structure that is configured as one of: a hexagonal structure, a rhombic structure, a rectangular structure, a square structure and a parallelogram structure.
5. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein respective light sources of at least one of said light source groups are arranged on the grid point positions of a second regular grid defined in the illumination device.
6. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein said second regular grid has a grid structure that is configured as one of: a hexagonal structure, a rhombic structure, a rectangular structure, a square structure and a parallelogram structure.
7. The illumination device as in claim 5 , wherein said first regular grid and said second regular grid have the same grid structure.
8. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein the multiplicity of light sources of said light source groups comprises light sources of at least two different colors.
9. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein at least one of said light source groups comprises a red (R) light source, a green (G) light source and a blue (B) light source.
10. The illumination device as in claim 1 , which emits, from said radiation-emitting front side, mixed-color light having a color locus in the white region of the CIE standard chromaticity diagram.
11. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein said multiplicity of light sources includes one or more of: an organic light-emitting diode, a semiconductor light-emitting diode and a laser diode.
12. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein at least some of the light source groups located in an inner region of said first regular grid are arranged similarly to one another.
13. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein at least some of said light source groups located in edge regions of said first grid are arranged such that each of the at least some of the light source groups is rotated by an angle α relative to other of said light source groups located in inner regions of said first grid.
14. The illumination device as in claim 13 , wherein the angle α is approximately equal to 90°.
15. The illumination device as in claim 8 , wherein the said light source groups closest to the edge are arranged such that a periodic sequence of different-colored light sources is obtained by tracking across said light source groups along a particular direction defined by a line.
16. The illumination device as in claim 1 , wherein the distance between said light sources and said radiation-emitting front side is between 10 mm and 100 mm, limits included.
