Title: Innovations of Junichi Takagi
Introduction
Junichi Takagi is a prominent inventor based in Kyoto, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of light source technology, holding a total of 8 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of light emission in various applications.
Latest Patents
One of Takagi's latest patents is a surface light source, which includes a method for manufacturing the same and an apparatus utilizing it. This invention involves a spotlight source that emits light in a linearly extending region through a wedge-like light conductor, which is then deflected by a prism sheet. The emitted light is directed perpendicularly to the light incident surface of the light conductor plate, featuring a narrow directivity in the widthwise direction. The light conductor plate is designed with multiple diffusion patterns in a rectangular triangular form on its bottom surface. This design allows for light reflected from the diffusion pattern to be emitted perpendicularly to the light-emitting surface of the plate. Additionally, Takagi has developed a plane light source apparatus aimed at maximizing light utilization efficiency in backlighting for reflection-type liquid crystal display panels. This apparatus ensures that light flecked from the rear face of a light guide plate is incident on a prism sheet and reflected orthogonally, enhancing the overall light emission.
