Light source device
First Claim
1. A light source device, comprising:
- a light shielding member having at least one annular-shaped aperture;
a light source adjacent to said light shielding member; and
a reflecting member having at least one reflecting surface, said light source being disposed between said light shielding member and said reflecting member, wherein said reflecting member comprises a shape for reflecting light emitted from said light source such that said light is converged on an annular converging area which is substantially formed in said annular-shaped aperture, and wherein said light shielding member comprises a light-shielding plate having inner and outer portions which are separated by said at least one annular-shaped aperture, said light source being mounted at a center of said inner portion.

Abstract
A light source device has a light shielding member having an aperture, a light source arranged on one side of the light shielding member, and a converging member arranged relatively with respect to the light source and the light source to thereby converge light emitted from the light source in the aperture or in a vicinity of the aperture. Another type of light source device has a single light source, and a converging member for converging light from the light source to thereby distribute the light to at least two points. Still another type of light source device has a light source, and a reflecting mirror arranged to enclose a side of a light emission direction of the light source, the reflecting mirror reflecting light emitted from the light source in a direction except the light source so that the light is radiated outside.

40. A light source device, comprising:
-
a light shielding member having at least one annular-shaped aperture;
a light source adjacent to said light shielding member; and
a reflecting member having at least one reflecting surface, said light source being disposed between said light shielding member and said reflecting member, wherein said reflecting member reflects light emitted from said light source such that said light has an annular converging area which substantially overlaps said annular-shaped aperture, and wherein said at least one annular-shaped aperture comprises an inner annular-shaped aperture and an outer annular-shaped aperture. - View Dependent Claims (41)

42. A signal light device comprising:
-
a support plate; and
a plurality of light source devices formed on said support plate, said light source devices comprising;
a light shielding member having at least one annular-shaped aperture;
a light source adjacent to said light shielding member; and
a reflecting member having at least one reflecting surface, said light source being disposed between said light shielding member and said reflecting member, wherein said reflecting member comprises a shape for reflecting light emitted from said light source such that said light is converged on an annular converging area which is substantially formed in said annular-shaped aperture, and wherein said light shielding member comprises a light-shielding plate having inner and outer portions which are separated by said at least one annular-shaped aperture, said light source being mounted at a center of said inner portion.
