Light collector device
First Claim
1. A sheet-like light collector device comprising a light receiving side and a light exit side, the light collector device comprising a plurality of curved structures of light guiding material, wherein the light guiding material comprises an organic light conversion dye for absorption of at least part of light of a light source and for conversion of at least part of the absorbed light into converted light in the visible and IR wavelength range, wherein each curved structure has a convex curved part at the light receiving side, for receiving light from said light source and for coupling light source light into the curved structure, a concave part at the light exit side, and a light exit edge part at the light exit side, wherein each curved structure has a curvature and a light guide thickness for facilitating transport of the incoupled light and the converted light in the direction of the light exit edge part to provide device light escaping from the light exit edge part.

Abstract
The invention provides a sheet-like light collector device comprising a light receiving side and a light exit side, and a plurality of curved structures of light guiding material comprising an organic dye configured to absorb at least part of the light of a light source and to convert at least part of the absorbed light into converted light in the visible wavelength range. Each curved structure has a convex curved part at the light receiving side, a concave part at the light exit side, and a light exit edge part at the light exit side. Each curved structure has a curvature and light guide thickness configured to facilitate transport of incoupled light and the visible converted light in the direction of the light exit edge part to provide device light escaping from the light exit edge part.
