Light Guiding Elements are structures that are designed to efficiently control and direct the path of light using principles like total internal reflection or diffraction. We design and manufacture custom Light Guiding Elements with specific or randomly added light guiding features, such as micro lenses, prisms or frosted features, combining functional surface manipulation with performance gradients utilizing Printoptical® 3D printing. Light Guiding Elements are applied in automotive, general lighting, photovoltaic, display and sign industries, to improve light efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and manage light distribution.
Offering Description
Modern day light guides are used for the transportation of light signals from a PCB mounted LED via a particular route to a defined light-emitting surface, with minimal light loss and blurring effects. Light Guiding Elements are generated to customer specifications using advanced Luximprint Design Software. Patterns can be generated in a linear, diagonal or freeform manner and may have identical or progressively increasing or declining pitches. Light Guiding Elements can be cut to specific geometric or freeform shapes and intend to transform side lit plates into uniform or selectively back lit luminous surfaces.
