Abstract
A light-diffusing structure may include a plurality of light-diffusing cell units. Each light-diffusing cell unit is polygonal with a plurality of edges and corners respectively, and the light-diffusing cell units connect with others by the edges to form a light-diffusing panel. When the sunlight passes through the light-diffusing panel, the sunlight is diffused and converted to a uniformly balanced light source. The light-diffusing structure may further include a restricting unit to restrict the movement of the light-diffusing panel.
Claims10
A light-diffusing structure comprising a plurality of continuous and hollow light-diffusing cell units, each light-diffusing cell unit is polygonal having a through opening including a light-receiving end and a light-diffusing end with a plurality of edges and corners respectively, and said light-diffusing cell units connecting with others by the edges to form a light-diffusing panel, wherein a hollow space is created between said light-receiving end and light-diffusing end, and when sunlight passes through said hollow space from the light-receiving end and exits from the light-diffusing end, the sunlight is diffused and converted to a uniformly balanced light source,
- wherein said light-diffusing panel has a first boundary, a second boundary, a third boundary and a fourth boundary, and the first boundary is located at an opposite side of the second boundary, while the third boundary is located at an opposite side of the fourth boundary, and a restricting unit disposed on either the third boundary or the fourth boundary to restrict movement of the light-diffusing panel,
- wherein each of odd-numbered edges on the light-diffusing cell units at the third boundary has a first hole to allow the restricting unit at the third boundary to pass through, and each of even-numbered edges on the light-diffusing cell units at the fourth boundary has a second hole to allow the restricting unit at the fourth boundary to pass through.
