Freeform Image Projection

Project statement

❖ LED Light shaping to specific patterns is
important for illumination optics in professional
light, automotive, roadside, architecture lighting
❖ The system consists of:
➢LED sources: white or coloured
➢Conventional and free-form lenses
➢Diffsusors
❖ Technical requirements for light shaping:
➢Miniaturized system
➢Wide spectrum with stable colour
➢Power consumption
➢Minimal stray light
❖ PlanOpSims task was to design a freeform optic
that projects an arbitrary target image

Project results

❖ Arbitrary input pattern reproduced
❖ Total thickness <6mm
❖ Projection efficiency > 55%
❖ Collimated and Lambertian source handled
❖ Extend and point source handled
