Abstract

A light guide strip structure with neon effect comprises a transparent body, wherein the body comprises a surface capable of scattering light and a color band arranged in the body; the reflectivity or index of the color band is larger than that of the body, so that most of light rays are forced to be reflected back to the body, and partial light rays enter the color band to generate a neon effect. In essence, the light entering the body travels along the direction of the body axis, producing reflection and refraction between the body and the ribbon, and scattering the light out of the body surface; the invented method can improve the brightness of light guide, improve the blurring of luminous effect in the old method, and reduce the bright and dark bands or diffraction phenomena generated by the known structure and the interference of luminous effect.

Description

具有霓虹效果的导光条结构Light guide structure with neon effect

技术领域: Technical field:

本发明涉及一种导光结构;特别是指一种导光本体复合色带,使光线在本体和色带之间产生霓虹效果和更理想的反射、折射等作用的手段。The present invention relates to a light guide structure; in particular, it refers to a composite color ribbon of a light guide body, which enables light to produce neon effects and more ideal reflection and refraction effects between the body and the ribbon.

背景技术: Background technique:

使用热塑性塑料,例如聚碳酸脂、聚胺脂类、乙基、甲基丙烯酸脂或其类似材料等聚合物制成透明的核心体或蕊体,以及在所述的核心体或蕊体表面包覆聚乙烯材料制成的保护层或薄外套等部分,来共同导引光线的导光结构,已为已知技术。例如,美国专利第4,422,719号「OPTICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM INCLUDING LIGHT GUIDE」专利案,揭露了典型的实施例。其揭示了一种在透明的核心体与半透明的外套(sleeve)组合的技术;该外套的设计是使其折射度(refraction)大于核心体的折射度,来增加光线的反射作用,延长光线在核心体内的行进距离,并且使散射或漫射出来的光线均匀、柔和。但是,该外套会使散射出来的光线变得朦胧、模糊,损失了光线的明亮度,让散射出来的光线变得比较不漂亮;这情形已经从它的产品上获得了证明。Use thermoplastics, such as polymers such as polycarbonate, polyurethane, ethyl, methacrylate or similar materials to make a transparent core or core, and coat the surface of the core or core It is a known technology that a protective layer or a thin coat made of polyethylene material is used to guide the light guide structure together. For example, US Patent No. 4,422,719 "OPTICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM INCLUDING LIGHT GUIDE" discloses a typical embodiment. It discloses a technology that combines a transparent core body with a translucent sleeve; the design of the sleeve is to make its refraction greater than that of the core body to increase the reflection of light and extend the light The travel distance within the core body, and make the scattered or diffused light uniform and soft. However, the coat makes the diffused light hazy, blurred, loses its brightness, and makes the diffused light less beautiful; this has been proved by its products.

另一个使散射出来的光线变得朦胧、模糊的因素也可能包括,该外套内表面和核心体表面是两个非常贴近的表面;从其中一个表面反射的光线,很可能被另一个表面反射出来的光线干涉而抵消。例如,假设光源是白光,当外套的厚度较薄的时候,容易使白光中的蓝光因为干涉而抵消,因此反射入眼睛的光会变成比较不亮的黄光(即蓝光的互补色);如果增加外套的厚度,白光中的绿色光容易被抵消,而出现其对应的互补色。换言之,所述外套包复核心体的导光结构因这种干涉现象会降低光线的明亮度。Another factor that makes scattered light hazy and blurred may also include that the inner surface of the mantle and the surface of the core are two very close surfaces; light reflected from one surface is likely to be reflected from the other surface interference of light rays cancels out. For example, assuming that the light source is white light, when the thickness of the coat is thinner, it is easy to make the blue light in the white light cancel due to interference, so the light reflected into the eyes will become a less bright yellow light (that is, the complementary color of blue light); If the thickness of the coat is increased, the green light in the white light is easily offset, and its corresponding complementary color appears. In other words, the light guide structure of the jacket covering the core will reduce the brightness of the light due to this interference phenomenon.

为了改善这类问题,该第4,422,719号专利案提供了其它的实施例;例如,在外套和核心体上设置不同长度排列的刻痕,或在外套内加入可增加亮度的感光乳剂、反射粉末材料或金属氧化物等物质。不过,这些实施例也使其导光结构在制造上变得比较复杂。In order to improve this kind of problem, the No. 4,422,719 patent provides other embodiments; for example, setting scores arranged in different lengths on the jacket and the core body, or adding photosensitive emulsion and reflective powder materials that can increase brightness in the jacket or metal oxides. However, these embodiments also make the light guide structure more complicated to manufacture.

在美国专利第6,169,836 B1号「OPTICAL TRANSMISSION TUBE AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME」、美国专利第7,433,565 B2号「SIDE-SCATTERING LIGHT GUDES」等专利案中,也揭露了应用保护层或外套包复核心体的技术手段;所述的专利案是使核心体的折射指数(refractive index)大于该外套的折射指数。但是,该保护层或外套一样会使散射出来的光线变得朦胧、模糊,降低光线的明亮度,让散射出来的光线变得比较不漂亮;而这种情形也同样从它们的产品上获得了证明。In patent cases such as U.S. Patent No. 6,169,836 B1 "OPTICAL TRANSMISSION TUBE AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME" and U.S. Patent No. 7,433,565 B2 "SIDE-SCATTERING LIGHT GUDES", the application of a protective layer or a jacket to cover the core body is also disclosed. Technical means; said patent is to make the refractive index (refractive index) of the core body greater than the refractive index of the jacket. However, the protective layer or coat will also make the scattered light hazy, blurred, reduce the brightness of the light, and make the scattered light less beautiful; and this situation is also obtained from their products. prove.

因此,为了提高其导光结构的明亮度,它们在核心体内部设置了许多个由有机聚合物(例如硅树脂分子、聚苯乙烯树脂、金属氧化物、碳酸盐或其类似材质等)制成的散射粒子(light-scattering particles)或漫射粒子(diffuser particles),来增加光线的反射和折射效果。就像那些熟知此技术的人所知悉,这类具有散射粒子或漫射粒子的导光结构在制造上是比较复杂的。因为,它们先将已制造完成的散射粒子加到成溶解状态和经过聚合作用的核心体内之后,必须再经过一振动和转动作业,使散射粒子散布在该核心体内部。而这类结构的制造反映在价格上,使每枝20cm的导光条结构的价格高达台币70~80元。Therefore, in order to improve the brightness of their light-guiding structure, they set a lot of crystals made of organic polymers (such as silicone resin molecules, polystyrene resin, metal oxides, carbonates or similar materials, etc.) inside the core body. Scattering particles (light-scattering particles) or diffuser particles (diffuser particles) to increase the reflection and refraction of light. As known to those skilled in the art, such light guiding structures with scattering or diffusing particles are relatively complex to manufacture. Because, after they add the already manufactured scattering particles into the core body in a dissolved state and through polymerization, they must go through a vibration and rotation operation to make the scattering particles scatter inside the core body. The manufacture of this type of structure is reflected in the price, making the price of each 20cm light guide structure as high as NT$70-80.

另一个有关这类具有散射粒子或漫射粒子的导光结构在应用方面的课题是,当射入核心体内的光线遭遇这些散射粒子或漫射粒子时,通常也会在散射粒子或漫射粒子的背后造成阴影,使阴影的边缘产生绕射条纹;有时候绕射条纹会混合一起,使阴影边缘形成模糊的情形。虽然,绕射的程度决定于散射粒子或漫射粒子的大小与光线波长之间的相互关系(例如波长越长,绕射越明显),但其也显示了光源种类的选择或使用受到了限制,而这种情形并不是我们所期望的。Another issue related to the application of this type of light-guiding structure with scattering particles or diffusing particles is that when the light entering the core encounters these scattering particles or diffusing particles, it usually also passes through the scattering particles or diffusing particles. The back of the shadow creates a shadow, so that the edge of the shadow produces diffraction fringes; sometimes the diffraction fringes are mixed together, making the edge of the shadow blurred. Although the degree of diffraction depends on the relationship between the size of scattering particles or diffuse particles and the wavelength of light (for example, the longer the wavelength, the more obvious the diffraction), but it also shows that the choice or use of the light source is limited , which is not what we expect.

在该第7,433,565 B2号专利案中也揭示了另一个实施例,它在核心体和外套之间设置有一空气层或其它类似材料构成的介质层;空气层或介质层的折射指数小于核心体的折射指数。因为核心体和外套之间有一层空气相隔,光线会从空气层的上下分别反射,这种反射光线会相互发生干涉现象,而产生亮暗带(即明暗相间的条纹带)。这是因为,反射入眼睛的光线来自两个不同的路径,分别是外套内表面反射的光线和核心体外表面反射的光线;核心体外表面反射的光线需行进较长的距离,才能到达观看者的眼睛。如果这段距离差正好是半个波长(异相),就会发生相消干涉,而出现暗带;而旁边的距离差没有发生干涉,就会出现亮带。也就是说,从外套内表面和核心体外表面两个很接近的平面反射的光线,会产生干涉条纹,而降低光线的明亮度。Also disclose another embodiment in this No. 7,433,565 B2 patent case, it is provided with an air layer or the dielectric layer that other similar materials are formed between core body and outer jacket; The refractive index of air layer or dielectric layer is smaller than that of core body refractive index. Because there is a layer of air between the core body and the jacket, the light will be reflected from the top and bottom of the air layer, and this reflected light will interfere with each other, resulting in bright and dark bands (that is, light and dark stripes). This is because the light reflected into the eye comes from two different paths, the light reflected from the inner surface of the coat and the light reflected from the outer surface of the core; the light reflected from the outer surface of the core has to travel a longer distance to reach the viewer's eye. Eye. If this distance difference is exactly half a wavelength (out of phase), destructive interference will occur and a dark band will appear; if the distance difference next to it does not interfere, a bright band will appear. That is to say, the light reflected from the two very close planes of the inner surface of the coat and the outer surface of the core will produce interference fringes and reduce the brightness of the light.

代表性的来说,这些参考数据显示了有关光源和导光结构在应用方面的技术;它们也反映出这些导光结构设计在某些应用的情形中所存在的一些问题。如果重行设计考虑导光的组织结构,使其构造不同于已知,将可改变它的使用型态,而有别于旧法;实质上,也会增加它的应用范围。但是,要如何克服或改善上述我们所讨论的缺点呢?例如,使它的结构设计在符合一个简单的条件下,同时具备有可减少已知结构产生亮暗带和绕射现象,干扰发光效果等作用;或进一步提高导光亮度,改善旧法中发光效果模糊等手段;我们发现它的构造必需考虑到下列几个设计课题:Representatively speaking, these reference data show the technologies related to the application of light sources and light guiding structures; they also reflect some problems in the design of these light guiding structures in some application situations. If the organization structure of the light guide is redesigned to make its structure different from the known ones, its use pattern will be changed, which is different from the old method; in essence, its application range will also be increased. But how to overcome or improve the shortcomings we discussed above? For example, make its structural design meet a simple condition, and at the same time have the effect of reducing the bright and dark bands and diffraction phenomena of known structures, and interfere with the luminous effect; or further improve the brightness of the light guide, and improve the luminous effect in the old method. ambiguity; we found that its construction had to take into account the following design issues:

1.应相异于上述专利案(US 4,422,719、US6,169,836 B1、US7,433,565 B2)在核心体表面设置包覆保护层或外套的结构组织和设计方向;以减少造成发光效果模糊或不清楚的情形。1. It should be different from the above-mentioned patent cases (US 4,422,719, US6,169,836 B1, US7,433,565 B2) to set the structure organization and design direction of the coating protective layer or coat on the surface of the core body; in order to reduce the blurred or unclear luminous effect situation.

2.应舍弃该US4,422,719、US6,169,836 B1、US7,433,565 B2等专利案,在核心体内部散布漫射粒子或散射粒子的结构组织,以减少产生阴影或绕射条纹现象,进一步让光源种类的选择或使用不会受到限制;并且,降低导光结构的制造成本与复杂度。2. The US4,422,719, US6,169,836 B1, US7,433,565 B2 and other patent cases should be abandoned, and the structure of scattering particles or scattering particles should be dispersed inside the core body to reduce shadows or diffraction fringes, and further allow the light source The selection or use of types is not limited; and the manufacturing cost and complexity of the light guide structure are reduced.

3.为了保持或增加光线的反射和折射作用,导光条的内部结构应重新安排和设计。3. In order to maintain or increase the reflection and refraction of light, the internal structure of the light guide strip should be rearranged and designed.

4.如上述两个相互非常接近的平面(例如,外套内表面和核心体表面),它们彼此接近的面积应尽可能的减少,以降低两平面反射光线相消干涉或产生亮暗带的情形。4. As the above two planes that are very close to each other (for example, the inner surface of the jacket and the surface of the core body), the area where they are close to each other should be reduced as much as possible to reduce the destructive interference of the reflected light from the two planes or the situation of producing bright and dark bands .

而这些课题在上述的参考数据中均未被教示或具体揭露。None of these issues are taught or specifically disclosed in the above references.

The body defines a central axis and a surface that can scatter light; its characteristic is: the ribbon is arranged on the central axis of the body, and the cross-sectional area ratio of the body to the ribbon is about 20:1-90:1, and the ribbon The reflective index is greater than that of the body, so that most of the light is reflected back to the body, and a relatively small part of the light enters the ribbon, resulting in a neon effect.

根据本发明具有霓虹效果的导光条结构,该本体为一管状或柱状结构,定义有一中心轴线;该色带配置在所述本体的中心轴线上。因此,本体与色带的反射光线产生相消干涉或亮暗带的情形,被尽可能的降到最低。According to the light guide strip structure with neon effect of the present invention, the body is a tubular or columnar structure defining a central axis; the ribbon is arranged on the central axis of the body. Therefore, the destructive interference or bright and dark bands produced by the reflected light of the body and the ribbon are minimized as much as possible.

In a modified embodiment, the ribbons are arranged at intervals along the axis.

根据本发明具有霓虹效果的导光条结构,该本体由可由两个半体相互组合而成;每一半体具有一平面,至少一半体的平面上配置有色带。具体来说,该色带可布置或印刷在其中一个半体的平面上,并且使该两个半体相互结合成一整体状态。According to the light guide strip structure with neon effect of the present invention, the body can be composed of two halves; each half has a plane, and at least a color band is arranged on the plane of the half. Specifically, the ribbon can be arranged or printed on the plane of one of the half bodies, and the two halves can be combined into an integral state.

如此,可明显减少像旧法中造成导光条发光效果模糊或不清楚的情形;可明显减少产生阴影或绕射条纹现象,进一步的也让光源种类的选择或使用不会受到限制;并且,降低导光结构的制造成本与复杂度;明显改善了已知两平面反射光线相消干涉或产生亮暗带的情形。且为了保持或增加光线的反射和折射作用,本体内部配置了具有颜色的色带;在白天可显示出这导光条结构的一种特别的视觉效果;并且可在光源射入这导光条结构后,分别在白天和夜晚散射出漂亮、清楚的光线和霓虹效果。In this way, it can significantly reduce the blurred or unclear luminous effect of the light guide strip as in the old method; it can significantly reduce the phenomenon of shadows or diffraction fringes, and further prevent the selection or use of light source types from being restricted; and, reduce The manufacturing cost and complexity of the light guide structure significantly improve the situation where the known two-plane reflected light destructively interferes or produces bright and dark bands. And in order to maintain or increase the reflection and refraction of light, a colored ribbon is arranged inside the body; it can display a special visual effect of the light guide strip structure during the day; and it can be used when the light source enters the light guide strip After the structure, it diffuses beautiful, clear light and neon effects in day and night respectively.

具体实施方式: Detailed ways:

请参阅图1及图2,本发明的具有霓虹效果的导光条结构,包括一本体和至少一色带的组合,概分别以参考编号10、20表示。本体10选择了透明的塑料、甲基丙烯酸脂(PMMA)、聚胺脂类、玻璃、树脂、热塑性塑料或其类似材料制成(在已知技术中已揭露了许多种制造本体的材料,故不再予以详述);在一个较佳的实施例中,本体10倾向于形成一透明挠性体的型态,具有良好的折射力和透射力(或传送力)。本体10在所采的实施例中,选择了圆形的轮廓,定义有一中心轴线11和一可散射光线的表面12。可了解的是,本体10也可以采用其它的几何形状。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the light guide strip structure with neon effect of the present invention includes a combination of a body and at least one color band, which are denoted by reference numerals 10 and 20 respectively. Body 10 has selected transparent plastics, methacrylic resin (PMMA), polyurethane, glass, resin, thermoplastics or similar materials to make (in the known technology, many kinds of materials for making the body have been disclosed, so will not be described in detail); in a preferred embodiment, the main body 10 tends to form a transparent flexible body with good refractive power and transmission power (or transmission power). In the embodiment taken, the body 10 has chosen a circular profile, defining a central axis 11 and a surface 12 capable of scattering light. It can be understood that the body 10 can also adopt other geometric shapes.

在所采的实施例中,该色带20以一具有颜色的带体或带状型态,置入本体10内;具体而言,色带20配置在本体10的轴线11位置上。色带20也可以镀上银或其类似材料来增加它的反射能力。在所采的实施例中,色带20选择了红色的颜色。所述色带20的反射率或指数大于该本体10,以迫使大部分光线反射回本体10,但容许少部份的光线进入色带20内,而产生霓虹效果。色带20倾向于选择具有低吸光率、高透射比的材料制成,例如交叉链接(cross-linked)的聚合物;让光线可以沿着本体10和色带20的行进过程,具有高的传递能力或效能。In the adopted embodiment, the ribbon 20 is inserted into the main body 10 in the form of a colored ribbon or ribbon; specifically, the ribbon 20 is arranged on the axis 11 of the main body 10 . Ribbon 20 may also be plated with silver or the like to increase its reflectivity. In the example taken, the color of red is chosen for the ribbon 20 . The reflectivity or index of the ribbon 20 is greater than that of the main body 10, so that most of the light is reflected back to the main body 10, but a small part of the light is allowed to enter the ribbon 20 to produce a neon effect. The ribbon 20 tends to be made of materials with low light absorption and high transmittance, such as cross-linked polymers; allowing light to travel along the body 10 and the ribbon 20 with high transmission ability or efficacy.

在可行的实施例中,该本体10与色带20的断面积比的范围为约20:1~90:1;在图2中显示了该本体10与色带20的断面积比为约60:1的情形。因此,本体10与色带20的反射光线产生相消干涉或亮暗带的情形,被尽可能的降到最低。In a feasible embodiment, the ratio of the sectional area of the body 10 to the ribbon 20 ranges from about 20:1 to 90:1; FIG. 2 shows that the ratio of the sectional area of the body 10 to the ribbon 20 is about 60. : 1 situation. Therefore, the destructive interference or bright and dark bands produced by the reflected light of the main body 10 and the ribbon 20 are minimized as much as possible.

请参考图3,当光源S从这导光条的一端13射入时,光线可以沿着导光条在平行本体10轴线11的方向上直线传递;部分光线在撞击到本体表面12和色带20时,会在本体10内部产生反射和折射作用。任一束光线在撞到本体表面12(或色带20)的入射角度(入射线与法线N之间的夹角)小于临界角(光线在导光条中全反射的最小入射角)时,部分光线会折射出本体10,而在本体表面12产生漂亮的散射或漫射光线。Please refer to Fig. 3, when the light source S enters from one end 13 of the light guide strip, the light can pass along the light guide strip in a straight line in the direction parallel to the axis 11 of the body 10; part of the light hits the body surface 12 and the ribbon 20, reflection and refraction will occur inside the main body 10. When the incident angle (the angle between the incident ray and the normal N) of any beam of light hitting the body surface 12 (or the ribbon 20) is less than the critical angle (the minimum incident angle at which the light is totally reflected in the light guide strip) , part of the light will be refracted out of the body 10 , and produce beautiful scattered or diffuse light on the surface 12 of the body.

请参阅图3及图4,使用了5条射线或光线30、40、50、60、70来说明。例如光线30射入本体10到达本体表面12的角度小于临界角时,部分光线会折射出本体10,而在本体表面12产生漂亮的散射或漫射光线31。部分光线32会反射到色带20上,在色带20上产生散射或漫射光线33。色带20使部分光线34又反射向本体表面12;但有少部分光线35会折射进入色带20里面。所述光线35的路径朝法线N的方向偏折;一部分光线36朝离开法线N的方向折射出色带20,射向本体表面12;一部分光线37在色带20内反射后,也朝离开法线N的方向折射出色带20,射向本体表面12。光线37也会有部分光线38在色带20内形成反射状态。Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , five rays or rays 30 , 40 , 50 , 60 , 70 are used for illustration. For example, when the angle at which the light 30 enters the body 10 and reaches the body surface 12 is smaller than the critical angle, part of the light will be refracted out of the body 10 , and a beautiful scattered or diffuse light 31 will be produced on the body surface 12 . A portion of the light 32 is reflected onto the ribbon 20 producing scattered or diffuse light 33 on the ribbon 20 . The ribbon 20 reflects part of the light 34 to the surface 12 of the main body; however, a small part of the light 35 is refracted into the ribbon 20 . The path of the light 35 is deflected toward the normal N; a part of the light 36 refracts the color ribbon 20 toward the direction away from the normal N, and shoots to the surface 12 of the body; The direction of the normal N refracts the color band 20 towards the body surface 12 . The light 37 also has part of the light 38 forming a reflection state in the ribbon 20 .

请参考图5,光线40射入本体10到达本体表面12的角度等于临界角时,光线41会擦过本体表面12。如果光线40射入本体10到达本体表面12的角度大于临界角时,光线42会全反射到色带20上,然后又全反射离开色带20。在另一种情形中,光线42也有可能在色带20上产生漫射光线43;使部分光线44折射进入色带20里面。所述光线44的路径朝法线N的方向偏折;一部分光线45朝离开法线N的方向折射出色带20,射向本体表面12,然后在本体表面12产生散射或漫射光线46;一部分光线47在色带20内反射后,也朝离开法线N的方向折射出色带20,射向本体表面12。光线47也会有部分光线48在色带20内形成反射状态。Please refer to FIG. 5 , when the angle at which the light 40 enters the body 10 and reaches the surface 12 of the body is equal to the critical angle, the light 41 will pass through the surface 12 of the body. If the angle at which the light 40 enters the body 10 and reaches the surface 12 of the body is greater than the critical angle, the light 42 will be totally reflected on the ribbon 20 and then totally reflected away from the ribbon 20 . In another situation, the light 42 may also generate diffuse light 43 on the ribbon 20; The path of the light 44 is deflected toward the normal N; a part of the light 45 refracts the color band 20 toward the direction away from the normal N, shoots to the body surface 12, and then produces scattered or diffuse light 46 on the body surface 12; After the light 47 is reflected in the color ribbon 20 , it also refracts the color ribbon 20 in a direction away from the normal N, and shoots toward the surface 12 of the main body. The light 47 also has part of the light 48 forming a reflection state in the ribbon 20 .

可了解的是,光线60、70分别相同于上述光线30、40的行进情形;因此,不再予以叙述。It can be understood that the traveling conditions of the light rays 60 and 70 are the same as those of the above-mentioned light rays 30 and 40 respectively; therefore, no further description is given.

请参阅图6,把色带20的剖面图放大,并且定义色带20的两边,分别以参考编号21、22表示;光线50射入色带20的情形,分别以光线51、52、53说明。基本上,光线53会在色带20内直线传递。Referring to Fig. 6, the cross-sectional view of the ribbon 20 is enlarged, and the two sides of the ribbon 20 are defined, respectively indicated by reference numerals 21 and 22; the situation where the light 50 enters the ribbon 20 is illustrated by rays 51, 52, and 53 respectively . Basically, light 53 travels in a straight line within ribbon 20 .

假设光线51射入色带20的角度小于临界角时,部分光线51a会偏离法线N的折射出色带20而进入本体10,也会在色带20上产生散射或漫射光线51b。部分光线51c会反射到色带20的另一边22上面,使部分光线51d偏离法线N的折射出色带20而进入本体10;光线51c也会在色带20的边22上产生散射或漫射光线51e。一部分光线51f在色带20内反射后,射向色带20的另一边21。Assuming that the angle at which the light 51 enters the ribbon 20 is smaller than the critical angle, part of the light 51a will deviate from the normal N to refract the ribbon 20 and enter the body 10 , and also produce scattered or diffuse light 51b on the ribbon 20 . Part of the light 51c will be reflected on the other side 22 of the ribbon 20, so that part of the light 51d will deviate from the refraction of the normal N to the ribbon 20 and enter the main body 10; the light 51c will also be scattered or diffused on the side 22 of the ribbon 20 Ray 51e. A part of the light 51f is reflected in the ribbon 20 and goes to the other side 21 of the ribbon 20 .

请再参阅图6,假设光线52射入色带20的角度等于临界角时,光线52a会擦过色带20的表面或边21。如果光线52射入色带20的角度大于临界角时,光线52b会全反射到色带20的另一边22。Referring to FIG. 6 again, assuming that the light 52 enters the ribbon 20 at an angle equal to the critical angle, the ray 52a will graze the surface or edge 21 of the ribbon 20 . If the angle at which the light 52 enters the ribbon 20 is greater than the critical angle, the light 52 b will be totally reflected to the other side 22 of the ribbon 20 .

在上文中,说明了光源S射入导光条后,光线30、40、50、60、70与本体10、色带20配合的折射和反射情形。但因为该本体10与色带20的断面积比的范围为约20:1~90:1;因此事实上有些光线会越过该色带20,而不会在色带20上产生折射或反射作用。在下文的图7中,将说明这些越过色带20的光线的传递情形。所述光线分别以参考编号80、90表示。Above, after the light source S enters the light guide strip, the refraction and reflection of the light rays 30 , 40 , 50 , 60 , and 70 in cooperation with the body 10 and the ribbon 20 are described. But because the sectional area ratio of the body 10 and the ribbon 20 ranges from about 20:1 to 90:1; in fact, some light will pass through the ribbon 20 without refraction or reflection on the ribbon 20 . In Figure 7 below, the transmission of these light rays across the ribbon 20 will be illustrated. The rays are indicated with reference numerals 80, 90, respectively.

请参阅图7,定义了本体表面12在图中区分有两边,分别以参考编号14、15来表示。Please refer to FIG. 7 , which defines the body surface 12 and has two sides in the figure, denoted by reference numerals 14 and 15 respectively.

假设光线80射入本体10的角度小于临界角时,部分光线81会偏离法线N的折射出本体10,也会在本体表面12上产生散射或漫射光线82。部分光线83会越过色带20,反射到本体10的另一边15上面,使部分光线84偏离法线N的折射出本体10;光线83也会在本体10的边15上产生散射或漫射光线85。一部分光线86在本体10内反射后,射向本体10的另一边14。如果光线90射入本体10的角度大于临界角时,光线91会越过色带20,全反射到本体10的另一边15。Assuming that the angle at which the light 80 enters the body 10 is smaller than the critical angle, part of the light 81 will deviate from the normal N and be refracted out of the body 10 , and also produce scattered or diffuse light 82 on the surface 12 of the body. Part of the light 83 will cross the ribbon 20 and reflect to the other side 15 of the main body 10, so that part of the light 84 deviates from the normal N and refracts out of the main body 10; the light 83 will also generate scattered or diffuse light on the side 15 of the main body 10 85. A part of the light 86 is reflected in the main body 10 and goes to the other side 14 of the main body 10 . If the light 90 enters the main body 10 at an angle greater than the critical angle, the light 91 will cross the ribbon 20 and be totally reflected to the other side 15 of the main body 10 .

请参考图8,在一个衍生的实施例中,色带20可在本体10轴线11方向上成间隔配置型态。在另一个修正的实施例中,该色带20成相平行数条或数段的型态配置在本体10内部;例如,图9所描绘的情形。Please refer to FIG. 8 , in a derivative embodiment, the ribbons 20 may be arranged at intervals in the direction of the axis 11 of the main body 10 . In another modified embodiment, the ribbons 20 are disposed inside the main body 10 in the form of several parallel strips or sections; for example, the situation depicted in FIG. 9 .

请参阅图10及图11,在一个可行的实施例中,该本体10可由两个半体10a、10b相互组合而成;每一半体10a、10b分别具有一平面16。图中显示了至少一半体10b的平面16上配置有色带20。具体来说,该色带20可布置或印刷在该半体10b的平面16上,并且使该两个半体10a、10b相互结合成整体状态,而组成该本体10(或导光条)。原则上,色带20的宽度和长度是可以变化的;但不会超过该半体平面16的宽度和长度。换言之,该色带20的宽度小于该本体10直径的长度(或该平面16的宽度);该色带20的长度不大于(小于或等于)该本体10的长度(或该平面16的长度)。在所采的实施例中,该两个半体10a、10b可使用黏胶黏合或使用高周波接合;或应用加热方式使该两个半体10a、10b的平面16相接合。Please refer to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 , in a feasible embodiment, the body 10 can be composed of two halves 10a, 10b; each half 10a, 10b has a plane 16 respectively. It is shown that the ribbon 20 is arranged on the plane 16 of at least half body 10b. Specifically, the ribbon 20 can be arranged or printed on the plane 16 of the half body 10b, and the two half bodies 10a, 10b can be combined into an integral state to form the body 10 (or light guide strip). In principle, the width and length of the ribbon 20 can be varied; but will not exceed the width and length of the half plane 16 . In other words, the width of the ribbon 20 is less than the length of the diameter of the body 10 (or the width of the plane 16); the length of the ribbon 20 is not greater than (less than or equal to) the length of the body 10 (or the length of the plane 16) . In the adopted embodiment, the two halves 10a, 10b can be bonded by adhesive or high-frequency bonding; or the flat surfaces 16 of the two halves 10a, 10b can be bonded by heating.

请参考图12,描绘了一个衍生的实施例;为导光条的上视图,显示了该色带20被变换成文字或图案20A的型态。Please refer to FIG. 12 , which depicts a derivative embodiment; it is a top view of the light guide strip, showing that the ribbon 20 is transformed into a character or pattern 20A.

代表性地来说,这具有霓虹效果的导光条结构在提供一结构精简的条件下,包括了下列的设计考虑:Typically, the light guide strip structure with neon effect includes the following design considerations under the condition of providing a simplified structure:

1.这导光条结构相异于已知技术(例如,US 4,422,719、US6,169,836 B1、US7,433,565 B2),没有本体表面12设置包覆保护层或外套的结构组织;因此,可明显减少像旧法中造成导光条发光效果模糊或不清楚的情形。1. This light guide strip structure is different from the known technology (for example, US 4,422,719, US6,169,836 B1, US7,433,565 B2), there is no structural organization of the body surface 12 provided with a coating protective layer or an overcoat; therefore, it can significantly reduce As in the old method, the luminous effect of the light guide strip is blurred or unclear.

2.这导光条结构也舍弃了该US 4,422,719、US6,169,836 B1、US7,433,565 B2等专利案,在核心体内部散布漫射粒子或散射粒子的结构组织;因此,可明显减少产生阴影或绕射条纹现象,进一步的也让光源种类的选择或使用不会受到限制;并且,降低导光结构的制造成本与复杂度。2. This light guide strip structure also abandons the patents such as US 4,422,719, US6,169,836 B1, US7,433,565 B2, and spreads the structure of diffusing particles or scattering particles inside the core body; therefore, it can significantly reduce the generation of shadows or The diffraction fringe phenomenon further makes the selection or use of the light source type unrestricted; moreover, it reduces the manufacturing cost and complexity of the light guide structure.

在一个依据本发明制作长20cm的导光条结构,价格约为台币10元以下;相较于已知技术而言,明显降低了制造成本,而具有市场吸引力。The price of a 20cm-long light guide strip structure according to the present invention is about NT$10 or less; compared with the known technology, the manufacturing cost is obviously reduced, and it is attractive to the market.

3.为了保持或增加光线的反射和折射作用,本体10内部配置了具有颜色的色带20;在白天可显示出这导光条结构的一种特别的视觉效果;并且可在光源S射入这导光条结构后,分别在白天和夜晚散射出漂亮、清楚的光线和霓虹效果。不仅导光条的内部结构被重新安排和设计,而且具备了已知技术所未有的优点。3. In order to maintain or increase the reflection and refraction of light, a colored ribbon 20 is arranged inside the body 10; it can display a special visual effect of the light guide strip structure during the day; and it can be illuminated by the light source S After the structure of the light guide strip, it diffuses beautiful and clear light and neon effects in day and night respectively. Not only the internal structure of the light guide strip is rearranged and designed, but also has advantages that the known technology does not have.

4.这导光条的内部结构经过重新安排和设计后,已不同于旧法中具有两个相互非常接近的平面(即,外套内表面和核心体表面);明显改善了已知两平面反射光线相消干涉或产生亮暗带的情形。4. After the internal structure of the light guide strip has been rearranged and designed, it is different from the old method with two planes that are very close to each other (that is, the inner surface of the jacket and the surface of the core body); it has significantly improved the reflection of light from the known two planes A situation where destructive interference or bright and dark bands are produced.

5.该本体10与色带20的断面积比的范围为约20:1~90:1。因此,彼此接近的面积被尽可能的减少,使本体10与色带20的反射光线产生相消干涉或亮暗带的情形,相对地也被降到最低。5. The sectional area ratio of the main body 10 and the ribbon 20 ranges from about 20:1 to 90:1. Therefore, the areas close to each other are reduced as much as possible, so that the destructive interference or light and dark bands produced by the reflected light of the main body 10 and the ribbon 20 are relatively minimized.

故,本发明提供了一有效的具有霓虹效果的导光条结构;其空间型态不同于已知技术,且具有旧法中所未有的机能,明显展现了相当大的进步。Therefore, the present invention provides an effective light guide strip structure with neon effect; its spatial configuration is different from the known technology, and it has functions that are not available in the old method, obviously showing considerable progress.
