An optics panel for use in a light emitting diode (LED) lighting is disclosed. A plurality of LEDs is disposed on a substrate and directed outward therefrom. A substantially transparent substrate is disposed over the plurality of LEDs and configured to direct light from each of the plurality of LEDs of the lighting assembly onto a surface having a predetermined bounded area. Light from each of the LEDs is directed by the transparent substrate across the entire area of the surface so that each LED illuminates substantially the entire surface with a substantially equal level of illumination per LED.
A back panel for use in a light emitting diode (LED) lighting assembly is disclosed. An extruded substrate formed of a thermally conductive material is provided, the substrate having a plurality of fins extending from a first side of the substrate, each of the fins having a substantially rectangular shape oriented so that a longitudinal axis of the fin is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the substrate. At least some of the fins include a hole formed through the fin to enable heated air to rise through the fins. A plurality of LEDs are mounted on a second side of the substrate, and oriented in a longitudinal orientation with the fins oriented parallel to the bottom edge of a surface to be illuminated, such that heat rises perpendicular to the surface of the fin.
Structure For Protecting Led Light Source From Moisture
A light emitting diode (LED) lighting assembly is disclosed. A first panel having a front surface with a protrusion extending therefrom is provided. A second panel is coupled to the first panel directly below the protrusion, wherein the second panel includes at least one LED. A third substantially transparent panel having a cavity formed therein is provided, wherein the cavity is sized to fit over the second panel, wherein the third panel includes a beveled edge that abuts the first panel at a joint directly below the protrusion, and wherein the protrusion and beveled edge are configured to direct moisture away from the joint.
Method For Making An Integrally Molded Semiconductor Device Heat Sink
A method of making a molded heat sink for plastic packages constructed for housing semi-conductor devices. Heat is removed from the semiconductor device by direct heat transfer from the device through upstanding members integrally molded in the top of the plastic housing. The integrally molded heat dissipation members facilitate cooling of the semi-conductor die which is not available by normal dissipation by convection and radiation through a generally planar external surface of the package. The molded members permit effective heat dissipation without the thermal coefficient of expansion mismatch which may occur between conventional molded packages and heat sinks secured thereto.

G09F 13/22 G09F 13/02
Abstract:
A forty-eight foot wide outdoor billboard can be illuminated at night using only two lighting assemblies. First and second areas of a display surface of the billboard are simultaneously illuminated by emitting light from a number of LEDs mounted in a common plane and redirecting the light toward the display surface using a plurality of optical elements. Each optical element is disposed over only one associated LED and includes a first portion, a second portion and a third portion arranged to direct the light toward the first area of the display surface so that visual media content of the display surface is visible without any additional light.
Light Assembly For Providing Substantially Uniform Illumination
A lighting assembly can be used for illuminating a predetermined area. The assembly includes a number of LEDs directed toward the predetermined area and a number of lenses. Each lens is disposed over only one associated LED and is configured to direct light from that LED toward the predetermined area, such that the light from each lens is directed across the entire predetermined area. The light intensity from each lens is substantially uniform across the entire predetermined area.
