Abstract
An optical device has a plurality of optical elements lined up in a row laterally. The optical elements in each case have a light entry surface, a light exit surface, and an associated optical axis. The light entry surfaces are in each case formed convexly in the manner of a lens in a central region surrounding the optical axis. The central region is in each case surrounded by an annular reflector, which is preferably composed of a plurality of individual reflectors.
Claims28
An optical device, comprising:
- a plurality of optical elements disposed laterally adjacent to one another, each of said optical elements having an optical axis, a central region, an annular reflector surrounding said central region, a light entry surface, and a light exit surface, said light entry surface formed convexly in a manner of a lens in said central region surrounding said optical axis.
An illumination configuration, comprising:
- a plurality of optical elements disposed laterally adjacent to one another, each of said optical elements having an optical axis, a central region, an annular reflector surrounding said central region, a light entry surface, and a light exit surface, said light entry surface formed convexly in a manner of a lens in said central region surrounding said optical axis;
- and
- at least one luminescent diode disposed on a side of said light entry surface.
