Abstract: An example lighting device includes a luminaire having a miniature illumination light source matrix including miniature illumination light sources configured to be driven by electrical power to emit incoming light rays for illumination lighting. Luminaire further includes an optical lens sheet positioned directly over and abutting the miniature illumination light source matrix and configured to extend over the illumination light source matrix and including an input surface coupled to receive the incoming light rays and an output surface lens array. Input surface is a substantially planar lateral surface extending across an entirety of the miniature illumination light source matrix. Output surface lens array includes a plurality of miniature optical lenses, including a respective miniature optical lens for each of the miniature illumination light sources to refract the incoming light rays into an outputted beam pattern of output light rays for the illumination lighting.

Abstract: An example lighting device has a luminaire. The luminaire includes an illumination light source matrix including illumination light sources configured to be driven by electrical power to emit light rays for illumination lighting. The luminaire further includes an optical lens positioned and configured to extend over the illumination light source matrix and including an input surface coupled to receive incoming light rays emitted by the illumination light sources and an output surface. Both the input surface and the output surface each include various portions to refract or total internally reflect the incoming light rays emitted by the illumination light sources passing through to shape or steer the illumination lighting into an outputted beam pattern. A coupled illumination light source driver selectively controls the illumination light sources individually or in combination to adjust the outputted beam pattern from the optical lens.

Abstract: A configurable lighting device may include a light source, a first lens, one or more second lenses, and a controllable optical modulator. The first lens is coupled to receive and redirect light output from the source. The second lenses are positioned to receive the light redirected by the first lens. The controllable optical modulator is between the first and second lenses. The controllable optical modulator is coupled to receive and spatially modulate light redirected by the first lens. The one or more second lenses are coupled to receive and redirect light modulated by the controllable optical modulator. The optical modulator is selectively controllable to steer and/or shape the light redirected by the first lens to a selected distribution of the light on the one or more second lenses.

Abstract: An example lighting device has a luminaire. The luminaire includes a laser light source configured to be driven by electrical power to emit laser light rays, a phosphor plate, and a solid medium freeform prism or waveguide. The solid medium freeform prism or waveguide confines incoming laser light ray emitted from the laser light source inside the solid medium until conversion into illumination lighting by the phosphor plate. The solid medium includes an input surface or lens coupled to the laser light source, an output surface, and a highly reflective internal surface to reflect laser light rays to propagate inside the solid medium until emission through the output surface. The phosphor plate is coupled to the output surface of the solid medium to convert the reflected laser light rays into the illumination lighting to emit from the luminaire.

Abstract: The examples relate to various implementations of a software configurable lighting device, installed as a panel, that offers the capability to appear like and emulate a variety of different lighting devices. Emulation includes the appearance of the lighting device as installed in the wall or ceiling, possibly, both when lighting and when not lighting, as well as light output distribution, e.g. direction and/or beam shape.

Abstract: The examples herein relate to assembly techniques and structures for an electrowetting cell, e.g. a fluid lens, a fluid prism or a single cell that may support both variable lens and variable prism functions. The resulting cell structure, for example, may support both beam shaping and steering functions, e.g. supporting use of the same electrowetting cell structure for a wider variety of optical processing applications. The resulting cell may be used in combination with an optical/electrical transducer or an array of cells may be used with a transducer in systems for a various light input and/or output applications.

Abstract: An example lighting device has illumination light sources, each configured to be independently driven. The device further includes an optical lens positioned over the illumination light sources. The optical lens has a number of aspheric or spheric convex surfaces, including an input surface and an output surface. The input surface includes an input peripheral portion and an input central portion. The input peripheral portion extends from the illumination light sources and curves from a region of the illumination light sources towards the input central portion. The input central portion curves towards the illumination light sources. The output surface includes an output lateral portion, an output shoulder portion, and an output body portion. Another example uses optical-to-electrical transducers, e.g. light detector or photovoltaic devices, in combination with the optical lens, for light reception transducer applications.

A coupled illumination light source driver selectively controls the illumination light sources individually or in combination to adjust at least a beam angle of the outputted beam pattern from the optical lens.

Abstract: The examples relate to various implementations of a software configurable luminaire and a transparent display device for use in such a luminaire. The luminaire is able to generate light sufficient to provide general illumination of a space in which the luminaire is installed and provide an image display. The general illumination is provided by additional light sources and/or improved display components of the transparent display device.
