LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE WITH ADJUSTABLE LIGHT OUTPUT PROFILE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device comprising:
- a film-based lightguide; and
a film adjustment mechanism configurable to adjust an orientation of a region of the film-based lightguide such that an angular light output profile from the device changes when a light source emits light that travels in a waveguide condition through the film-based lightguide.

14. A light emitting device with an adjustable angular light output profile, the light emitting device comprising:
-
a light source; and a film-based lightguide configured to receive light emitted from the light source, the film-based lightguide comprising a light emitting region at least partially defined by a group of light extraction features, the light emitting region having a first radius of curvature, wherein the first radius of curvature of the light emitting region is adjustable to a second radius of curvature to change the angular light output profile of the light emitted from the light emitting device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
