2. Technical problem in optical functional structures
2014 Optical Functional Structures for LEDs SCUT
Freeform Lenses (自由曲面光控结构)
The use of the freeform lenses light controlling stuctures can make the illuminance
distribution more uniform in the space. The traditional design method is inefficient and
experiential dependent. The new energy-negative feedback method is suitable for the high
power LEDs.
With the increasing of the light source dimension, the light spot has a trend to be out of control
