ILLUMINATION PANEL
First Claim
1. An illumination panel comprising:
- a receiver substrate assembly including;
a rigid sheet of light transmissive material having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a conductor pattern attached to the first surface; and
at least one receiver assembly affixed to the rigid sheet, each receiver assembly including a light source in electrical communication with the conductor pattern;
at least one light-guide optic attached to and supported by the receiver substrate assembly, each light-guide optic in optical communication with the light source of an associated one of the at least one receiver assembly for guiding light for output via the rigid sheet.

22. An panel comprising:
-
a rigid sheet of light-transmissive material having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; at least one light-guide optic attached to and supported by the first surface of the rigid sheet of light-transmissive material, the at least one light-guide optic being in optical communication with a light source and having at least one reflective surface for guiding light received from the light source through the light-transmissive material; at least one focusing optic attached to and supported by the second surface of the rigid sheet of light-transmissive material, the least one focusing optic associated with and in optical communication with one of the at least one light-guide optic, each focusing optic having at least one focusing element for cooperative operation with the at least one light-guide optic; and the light source being intermediate the at least one light-guide optic and the at least one focusing optic.

23. An illumination panel comprising:
-
a receiver substrate assembly including; a rigid sheet of light transmissive material having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface; and a light source affixed to the first surface of the rigid sheet and in electrical communication with a conductor; a focusing optic attached to and supported by the second surface of the receiver substrate assembly, the focusing optic having a plurality of concentric ring-shaped lenses; a light-guide optic attached to and supported by the first surface of the receiver substrate assembly, the light-guide optic having a plurality of ring-shaped reflective surfaces, each of the ring-shaped reflective surfaces associated with and in optical communication with one of the ring-shaped lenses; each of the ring-shaped reflective surfaces being shaped and positioned to receive light from the light source and to reflect the received light through the light-transmissive body of the light-guide optic, the rigid sheet and the light-transmissive body of the focusing optic towards a one of the ring-shaped lenses associated with that one of the ring-shaped reflective surfaces, a ring-shaped focus of the one of the ring-shaped lens associated with that one of the ring-shaped reflective surfaces being positioned near that ring-shaped reflective surface such that substantially all of the light received from the light source is focused by that lens as a collimated beam of light. - View Dependent Claims (24)
