Embodiment Construction

[0029] The exemplary embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 1 comprises a rectangular 20x16 matrix of color and intensity variable lighting units 1 arranged on a substantially rectangular panel 2 of size 2x1.6m . The lighting units were arranged in a rectangular grid with a pitch of 10 cm.

[0030] Each lighting unit comprises a group of four light emitting diodes, namely red diodes 3 , blue diodes 4 , green diodes 5 and white diodes 6 .

[0031] Each of these diodes is connected to an LED controller 7 capable of independently controlling the intensity of light emitted by each LED in each individual lighting unit 1 .

[0032] A collimator 8 is arranged on the LEDs 3, 4, 5, 6 to collimate the light from each LED into a narrow beam with a collimation angle of about 8°.

[0033] These collimators are arranged to project light substantially in the middle of the normal to the panel surface.

[0034] When the light beams from each lighting unit 1 are narrowly collimated and ...

Abstract

A lighting device is provided for projecting a pixelated lighting pattern to be viewed onto a surface facing said device is provided. The device comprises a plurality of independently controllable lighting units (1), each lighting unit comprising at least one light- emitting diode (3, 4, 5, 6), and a controller (7) for controlling the emission of light from said lighting units. A device according to the present invention allows ambient illumination of a surface and projection of images and patterns.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a lighting device for projecting an observed pixelated lighting pattern on a surface facing the lighting device, the lighting device comprising a plurality of lighting units and means for controlling the light from these lighting units For the emission controller, each lighting unit includes at least one light emitting diode. Background technique [0002] Lighting devices based on light emitting diodes are usually designed for indoor lighting, such as in offices, homes, shops, cars and airplanes. [0003] Fluorescent tubes and incandescent lamps have been used as light sources for these lighting devices. [0004] Recently, light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been proposed as light sources for such lighting devices. Lighting fixtures based on light-emitting diodes are attractive because light-emitting diodes typically have a much longer lifespan than fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs. Also, LEDs consume less powe...
