Solution Overview

Problem

Existing stage lamp lighting devices fail to meet user requirements for center luminance of the light spot at a specific distance due to uniform light spots resulting from the mixing of different colors, which leads to decreased center luminance.

Innovation Solution

A lighting device for a stage lamp that includes a light-emitting device emitting monochromatic lights of at least two colors, a light combining device to combine these lights, and a light mixing device with a diffusion sheet featuring microstructures to convert the light into a Gaussian beam, enhancing center luminance by creating a non-uniform light spot with a brighter center and darker edges.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a double fly-eye lens is used to mix light of different colors, then the light spot uniformity is improved, but the center luminance decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight spot uniformityVSAvoidcenter luminance
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating different optical properties in different regions of the light mixing system. The diffusion sheet with microstructures is positioned specifically to affect only certain regions of the light beam, creating a Gaussian distribution where the center has different luminance characteristics than the edges. This resolves the contradiction by allowing uniform mixing in some areas while maintaining high center luminance through the structured diffusion approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the optical parameters of the light beam by using a diffusion sheet with specific microstructure characteristics (size, shape, distribution). By adjusting these parameters, the system transforms the light distribution from uniform to Gaussian, thereby increasing center luminance while maintaining acceptable uniformity through controlled scattering parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If light is mixed to achieve uniform distribution, then color mixing quality is improved, but center luminance at specific distance is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor mixing uniformityVSAvoidcenter luminance at specific distance
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the light mixing function into multiple components: the double fly-eye lens handles initial color mixing, while the diffusion sheet with microstructures performs secondary mixing and spatial redistribution. This segmentation allows each component to optimize for its specific function, achieving color uniformity while preserving center luminance through the staged mixing approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The diffusion sheet acts as an intermediary element between the double fly-eye lens and the final light output. It receives the pre-mixed light from the fly-eye lens and performs additional controlled scattering, mediating the transition from uniform to Gaussian distribution while maintaining color mixing quality achieved by the previous stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
