Light pipes are optical components, which employ a combination of total internal reflection and external reflection to transmit light from a source to an inlet to an outlet, for example, in an illuminated switch. This article describes the 2058296-1 application field and working principle of light pipes in detail.
Introduction
Light pipes, also known as ‘light guides’ are optical devices used to guide light from one area to another, usually in an illuminative switch. The most common type of light pipe is a hollow tube, usually made of transparent materials like glass. By acting as a waveguide, they act to transmit light from a source to from an inlet to an outlet. Light pipes usually employ a combination of total internal reflection and external reflection, to direct the light down the pipe to its outlet. The inner walls of the pipe are usually lined with a reflective material like silver or aluminum.
Light Pipe Application Field
Light pipes can have a variety of applications, but the primary focus of the 2058296-1 application field is the transmission of light for optical switches, lights, and indicators. Light pipes are often used in switches because they allow the user to see whether a switch is ‘on’ or ‘off’ from a long distance. For example, in a car dashboard, the driver can easily see which switches are on or off while keeping their eyes on the road. Light pipes can also be used to direct sunlight to areas where natural light is not otherwise available, such as in greenhouses or outdoor lighting systems. In addition, light pipes can be used to make optical displays, such as signs or posters that can be seen from a distance.
Light Pipe Working Principle
The 2058296-1 working principle of a light pipe involves two key elements: total internal reflection and external reflection. In essence, total internal reflection occurs when light hits an interface between two materials at an angle greater than the critical angle. The critical angle is determined by the ratio between the refractive indices of each material of the interface. This ratio is also known as ‘Parallel Connected Boundary’ (PCB). When the incident light exceeds the critical angle, all the light is reflected back and stays within the pipe. This process continues throughout the length of the pipe, and the light is successfully directed to its outlets.
In addition to total internal reflection, light pipes also employ external reflection. This is done by coating the walls of the pipe with reflective surfaces. This helps keep the light inside the pipe, and also allows the light to be directed to its outlet. External reflection is especially important in cases where the lightpipe is bent, or when there are multiple inlet and outlet ends.
Conclusion
The 2058296-1 application field and working principle of light pipes are useful for a wide variety of applications. By combining total internal reflection and external reflection, light pipes can successfully direct light from a source to its outlet for lighting, switch, and indicator solutions. These features make light pipes an important part of many types of optical designs.
