Latest Patents
Phillipe Schottland holds a patent for "Automotive headlamps with improved beam chromaticity." This invention involves the use of lenses that can enhance the quality of light emitted by interacting with the light bulb. By incorporating photoluminescent and non-photoluminescent dyes into a polycarbonate lens, the chromaticity of the light source can be shifted. Additionally, design features such as grooves or protrusions allow light produced by the photoluminescent material to escape the lens, further enhancing the emitted beam's chromaticity. The emitted beam complies with legal color and intensity standards as defined by SAEJ578 and SAEJ1383. This innovation also aims to reduce discomfort glare, increase brightness, and improve road visibility at night.
