Abstract
Provided is an apparatus for reducing glare in a lighting panel. The apparatus includes a translucent layer having an emitting surface. A microstructure of the emitting surface is formed of features in cooperative arrangement for redirecting light produced by the lighting panel.
Claims20
An apparatus for reducing uniform glare rating (UGR) levels in a lighting panel, comprising:
- a translucent layer having an emitting surface;
- wherein a microstructure of the emitting surface is formed of features in cooperative arrangement for redirecting light produced by the lighting panel.
A method of manufacturing a translucent layer configured to reduce glare in a lighting panel, the translucent layer having an emitting surface, a microstructure of the emitting surface being formed of features in cooperative arrangement for redirecting light produced by the lighting panel, the method comprising:
- forming a pattern representative of symmetrical alignment of the features;
- and
- embedding the pattern onto the emitting surface.
A computer readable media storing instructions, when said instructions, when executed are adapted to execute a process within a computer system with a method of manufacturing a translucent layer configured to reduce glare in a lighting panel, the translucent layer having an emitting surface, a microstructure of the emitting surface being formed of features in cooperative arrangement for redirecting light produced by the lighting panel, the method comprising:
- forming a pattern representative of symmetrical alignment of the features;
- and
- embedding the pattern onto the emitting surface.
