LPR3-1250-0700FP

Light pipes, also known as light guides, are an optical component used to bring light from one location to another. They are usually plastic cylindrical tubes and are used to collect, guide, and redistribute light within a device, such as a computer monitor or printer. One type of light pipe, the LPR3-1250-0700FP, is designed to take a single point illumination source from an LED and carry it to one user-defined location. This article will discuss the application fields of the LPR3-1250-0700FP and its working principle.

The most common applications of the LPR3-1250-0700FP are in displays and optical point-of-sale scanning. This light pipe is designed to be used in highly dense space-constrained areas due to its small size and shape. It is commonly used in thin-form-factor displays and portable electronics. This type of light pipe is ideal for applications that require a lightweight and cost-effective option.

The working principle of the LPR3-1250-0700FP is relatively simple. It takes light emitted from a LED and glides it along the inside of the plastic cylindrical tube. Inside the tube, small, radial fins cause light to be refracted and reflected in multiple directions, allowing for good uniformity. At the tip, the light is redirected towards its user-defined endpoint. This method is very efficient, with minimal losses compared to traditional optics, allowing for more light to be dispersed from a single LED.

The LPR3-1250-0700FP has been designed for a multitude of applications, and its working principle delivers efficient results. Its small size, lightweight, and low costs makes it ideal to use in slim form-factor displays and portable electronics. With its multiple applications and strong performance, it has become one of the preferred items used in light pipe-enabled devices.
