Intermediate product in the manufacture of light sources with optical front beam guiding elements to constrict the beam divergence and/or to form the beam of light emitters

Abstract

An intermediate product is used in the manufacture of light sources with optical front beam guiding elements to constrict the beam divergence of light emitters. The intermediate product has multiple front beam guiding elements and a support, to which the front beam guiding elements are fixed in a defined order. An optical front beam guiding element is implemented so that it can be attached to each light emitter. The support consists of a stronger, more rigid material, compared with the material of the front beam guiding elements. The result is an intermediate product which allows processing of even expensive materials for front beam guiding elements and, because of its special suitability for automated further processing steps, has cost advantages.
