Abstract
An apparatus for illuminating a license plate comprising a plurality of infrared emitting devices connected in series, parallel or combination thereof mounted on a core material or substrate in a frame. The apparatus emits infrared light in a wavelength responsive to cameras, security camera, road camera, video-photo-radar traffic camera and others. The infrared emitting device is positioned within the perimeter of the license plate. The apparatus is powered by the vehicle power system or a rechargeable power supply.
Claims20
An apparatus for illuminating a license plate of a vehicle comprising:
- a housing;
- a back enclosure;
- a core material having a first and second sides that are opposite to each other and one or more side faces defining the thickness of the core material;
- said material interposed between the housing and back enclosure;
- an infrared emitting source;
- said infrared emitting source arranged or positioned along one or more sides of the core material;
- or optionally mounted longitudinally, surrounding said core material;
- and
- at least one or more electronic circuits on the core material.
An apparatus for illuminating a license plate of a vehicle, comprising:
- a housing;
- a back enclosure;
- a circuit board between the housing and back enclosure;
- an infrared emitting source positioned on the circuit board;
- a frame for the circuit board;
- at least one or more electronic circuits for the infrared emitting source;
- at least one or more wirings to the power supply;
- and
- power supply for energizing the infrared emitting source;
- wherein the power supply is selected from a rechargeable power cell, charger circuit or electronic sensor;
- wherein the apparatus provides illumination of the license plate of a vehicle when the vehicle ignition is off;
