Abstract
An LED display system configured with peripheral light guides is disclosed. The system includes a PCB with a topside array of forward-facing LEDs emitting forward light, and a bottom side peripheral pattern of backward-facing LEDs emitting backward light. The backward light may be redirected to the forward direction around the perimeter of the LED display by a peripheral pattern of light guide elements. In this way, the light guide elements provide the outermost peripheral pixels of the LED display system.
Claims15
A display system for emitting light, comprising:
- at least one printed circuit board (PCB) including a PCB first side and a PCB second side opposite the PCB first side;
- at least one first light emitting diode (LED) configured with the PCB first side and adapted to emit first light in a first direction;
- at least one second LED configured with the PCB second side and adapted to emit second light in a second direction;
- and
- at least one first light guide configured with the at least one second LED and adapted to redirect at least a portion of the second light to the first direction as redirected light;
- wherein the first light and the redirected light combine to form a total emitted light.
3 more elements
A display system for emitting light, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) having a front side and a rear side;
- a front light emitting diode (LED) array that is mounted to the PCB front side and that emits forwardly directed light;
- a rear light emitting diode (LED) array that is mounted to the PCB rear side and that emits rearwardly directed light;
- and
- a light guide that is configured to redirect at least a portion of the rearwardly directed light in a forward direction thereby providing redirected light;
- wherein the forwardly directed light and the redirected light are combined to form a complete displayed image.
