Abstract
Disclosed is an optical fiber illumination apparatus configured for ensuring high light efficiency and uniform luminosity when displaying an illumination pattern with flexible optical fibers in fiber optic lighting.
Claims20
An optical fiber illumination apparatus comprising:
- a light source module including a light source configured to emit light, and a group of optical fibers configured to transmit the light when the light emitted from the light source is incident onto the optical fibers;
- a guide unit extending in a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber illumination apparatus and configured to fix arrangement and positions of the optical fibers so that each of the optical fibers extends in the longitudinal direction and a predetermined illumination pattern is implemented by the group of optical fibers;
- and
- a fixing unit mounted between the light source module and the guide unit and configured to align the optical fibers wound around a circumferential external surface of the guide unit so that the optical fibers are spaced from each other.

An optical fiber illumination apparatus including:
- a fixation bracket having a first end portion and a second end portion spaced apart from each other;
- a light source module disposed at the first end portion of the fixation bracket and including a light source that emits light and a group of optical fibers that illuminate when the light emitted from the light source is incident onto the optical fibers;
- a guide unit extending to be connected to the first end portion and the second end portion of the fixation bracket, configured to fix positions of the respective optical fibers, and configured to arrange positions of the optical fibers to form a predetermined illumination pattern;
- and
- two fixing units arranged at the first end portion and the second end portion of the fixing bracket, respectively, and configured to fix the optical fibers so that the optical fibers are aligned and spaced from each other.
