Abstract
In accordance with certain embodiments, systems of lighting components feature multiple illumination panels each having a backing support and, secured thereto, multiple illumination elements. The illumination elements have shapes defined by arrangements of illumination unit cells may be assembled to illuminate an arbitrary two-dimensional area.
Claims26
A system of lighting components for illuminating an arbitrary two-dimensional area, the system comprising:
- a plurality of illumination panels, each panel being configured to emit light at a panel luminous flux density and comprising (i) a backing support, and (ii) a plurality of illumination elements each (a) secured to the backing support and (b) electrically connected to at least one of the other illumination elements,
- wherein:
- each illumination element comprises (i) a substrate and (ii) a plurality of spaced-apart light-emitting elements disposed over the substrate;
- each illumination element has a shape defined by a one-dimensional or two-dimensional arrangement of illumination unit cells, each illumination unit cell (i) being polygonal, (ii) encompassing a plurality of the light-emitting elements, and (iii) configured to emit light at a predetermined luminous flux density,
- the predetermined luminous flux density of each illumination element is within ±10% of the predetermined luminous flux density of any other illumination element, and
- the plurality of illumination panels collectively has a surface area greater than or equal to the two-dimensional area.
