Illumination Solutions

LEDs are rapidly taking over as flexible and low cost light sources for a wide range of novel illumination solutions. By combining LEDs, structured light cavities and the correct combination of optical films, a wide variety of uniform and non-uniform light sources can be created for signage, lighting and displays.

Approaches include:

• Edge-lit waveguide solutions
• Light box solutions
• Complex illumination structures

For example, working with Bayer, Microsharp has designed and now supplies a highly uniform light source for an optical sensor medical instrument consisting of a shaped plastic lightguide with optical films applied.
