Abstract:
A printing head (100) for a 3-D printing device is disclosed that comprises a nozzle (110) arranged to print a layer (140) of a printing material on a receiving surface (130) and a texturing member (120) arranged to texture the layer or the receiving surface during printing of said layer. The nozzle comprises an outlet including the texturing member (120) and the outlet is shaped to form protrusions (145) extending from a main surface of the layer (140) for interlocking with a subsequent layer. The texturing member ensures that contacting layers formed with the printing head exhibit improved adhesion due to the increased contact surface area between the layers. This yields stronger 3-D articles printed in this manner. A printing apparatus including the printing head, a printing method and an article printed in accordance with the printing method are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention provides a lighting device comprising a light source configured to provide light source light having a blue light component and a light converter configured to convert at least part of the light source light into converter light, wherein the light converter comprises a polymeric matrix (22) with a luminescent material, wherein the luminescent material comprises a luminescent molecule (300) comprising a first group (310) able to absorb at least part of the blue light component, and a second group (320) able to emit luminescent molecule light having a red light component, wherein the first group (310) is configured to transfer at least part of the energy acquired by the absorption of said blue light component to the second group (320) for generation of said luminescent molecule light having a red light component.
Abstract:
The invention provides a lighting device (1) comprising (a) a light source (10) configured to generate light source light (11), and (b) a light converter (100) configured to convert at least part of the light source light (11) into visible converter light (111), wherein the light converter (100) comprises a matrix (120) containing a luminescent material (140) based on derivatives of benzimidazoxanthenoisoquinolinone. The lighting device may further comprise a further luminescent material (130).
