具体实施方式
根据需要,在此公开了本发明的详细实施例。然而,应当理解的是,公开的实施例仅仅是本发明的示例,其可以体现为不同的和替代的形式。附图不一定是具体设计,且为了呈现功能概况,一些图可以被夸大或缩小。因此,在此公开的特定的结构和功能细节不应被解释为限制,而是仅仅作为用于教导本领域技术人员多方面使用本发明的典型基础。
如在此所用的,当用于一系列两个或多个项目中时使用的术语“和/或”意味着可以单独使用任何一个所列项目或可以使用两个或多个所列项目的任意组合。例如,如果混合物被描述为包含组分A、B和/或C,混合物可以包含单独的A;单独的B;单独的C;A和B的组合;A和C的组合;B和C的组合;或A、B和C的组合。
下述公开描述一种车辆照明***,该照明***有利地使用一种或多种光致发光结构,光致发光结构配置用于将从相关光源接收的光转换并且重新发射不同波长的光。
参考图1A-1C,示出了光致发光结构10的多种示例性实施例,每个光致发光结构10能够被连接到基底12,基底12可以对应于车辆固定装置或车辆相关设备件。在图1A中,光致发光结构10总体示出呈现为可以被应用到基底12的表面的涂层(例如薄膜)。在图1B中,光致发光结构10总体上示为能够与基底12整合的离散颗粒。在图1C中,光致发光结构10总体上示为可以被并入支承介质14(例如薄膜)内的多个离散颗粒,之后支承介质14可以被应用(如所示)或整合到基底12。
在最基本水平,特定的光致发光结构10包括能量转换层16,能量转换层16可以包括一个或多个子层,其在图1A和1B中通过虚线示例性示出。能量转换层16的每个子层可以包括具有利用磷光或荧光特性的能量转换元件的一种或多种光致发光材料。每种光致发光材料一经接收到特定波长的光就可以被激发,由此使光经历转换过程。按照下变频(downconversion)原理,输入光被转换为从光致发光结构10输出的更长波长的光。反之,按照上变频(up conversion)原理,输入光被转换为从光致发光结构10输出的更短波长的光。当从光致发光结构10同时输出多个不同波长的光时,多个波长的光可以混合在一起且表现为多色光。
在一些实施例中,已经被向下转换或向上转换的光可以用于激发存在于能量转换层16内的其他光致发光材料。使用从一种光致发光材料输出的转换后的光来激发另一种光致发光材料并以此类推的过程通常被称为能量级联并且可以作为实现各种颜色表现的可选方式。关于任何一种转换原理,激发光和转换后的光之间的波长差被称作斯托克斯位移(Stokesshift)且用作对应于光的波长变化的能量转换过程的主要驱动机制。在这里所述的各种实施方式中,每种光致发光结构可以按照任何一种转换原理操作。
能量转换层16可以通过使用多种方法将光致发光材料分散在聚合物基体中以形成均匀混合物来制备。这样的方法可以包括从在液体载体介质中的制剂制备能量转换层16且将能量转换层16涂到期望的基底上。能量转换层16可以通过涂装(painting)、丝网印刷、喷涂、狭缝涂覆(slotcoating)、浸渍涂覆(dip coating)、滚筒涂覆(roller coating)和棒式涂覆(bar coating)应用到基底。可选地,能量转换层16可以通过不使用液体载体介质的方法来制备。例如,能量转换层16可以通过将光致发光材料分散在可以被结合到聚合物基体的固态溶液(在干燥状态的均匀混合物)中而呈现,聚合物基体可以通过挤出、注塑成型、压缩成型、压延成型、热成型等而形成。之后可以使用本领域技术人员已知的任何方法将能量转换层16整合到基底内。当能量转换层16包括子层时,可以顺序涂覆每个子层以形成能量转换层16。可选地,可以分别制备子层且之后层压或压印在一起以形成能量转换层16。仍可选地,可以通过共挤出子层来形成能量转换层16。
返回参考图1A和1B,光致发光结构10可以可选地包括至少一个稳定层18以保护包含在能量转换层16内的光致发光材料不被光解和热降解。稳定层18可被配置为光学耦合到和粘附到能量转换层16的单独的层。可选地,稳定层18也可以与能量转换层16整合。光致发光结构10也可以可选地包括光学耦合和粘附到稳定层18或其他层(例如没有稳定层18时的转换层16)的保护层20以保护光致发光结构10不受由环境暴露所产生的物理和化学损伤。稳定层18和/或保护层20可以通过每层的顺序涂覆或印刷、顺序层压或压印、或任何其他合适的方式与能量转换层16结合。

参照图2和图3,示出了具有保护成型件24的车辆22的一个实施例,保护成型件24沿车辆22的腰线纵向地延伸。如这里所用的,腰线总体指的是沿车辆22的侧部和后部恰好位于侧窗26和可伸缩顶部28下方的线。沿腰线定位的成型件24可以被分段且连接到车辆22的车身面板,包括侧面板30、后面板32和行李厢面板34。如下面更详细地示出和描述的,成型件24配置用于提供装饰和/或功能照明。虽然图2和3中示出为活顶车辆22,但应明白的是,这里所述的成型件24可以是沿非活顶车辆的腰线的类似形式,非活顶车辆是例如但不限于双门轿车、四门轿车、货车、运动型多用途车辆、厢式货车等。而且,应明白的是,根据本发明的原理也可以制造出存在于车辆22其他位置的保护成型件。
参考图4和5,根据一个实施例示出了成型件24的剖视图。成型件24包括安装到车辆22的车身面板(例如侧面板30和行李厢面板34)的覆盖板元件36以及通过任何常规方式固定到车身面板的安装元件38。覆盖板元件36可以由例如弹性体的柔性、弹性材料构造且包括远端40,远端40配置为与支架40接合,以使支架40设置在覆盖板元件36和车身面板之间。支架40可以设置为大体延伸成型件24的长度的光波导且被注塑成型(例如双射成型)到成型件24,由此实现在较低的成本将支架40与成型件24集成。
支架40的前部包括配置为响应于光激发而发光的外露部分42。外露部分42可以设置为带状或区段且包括应用于或以其它方式设置在其上或分散在其内的光致发光结构44。外露部分42相对于车身面板被定向为确保它能被位于车辆22外侧的人员看到。一个或多个光源46设置在支架40内且配置用于发射光以激发外露部分42。更具体地,从光源46发射的、到达外露部分42的光被光致发光结构44转换且重新发射具有不同波长、通常处于可见光谱内的光。光源46可以设置在柔性电路板48(例如铜柔性电路)上,柔性电路板48连接到支架40的后部。在这样的设置中,柔性电路板48可以与覆盖板元件36柔性地连接以容许成型件24的轮廓与车身面板相吻合。
参照图6,多个光源46a-j设置在柔性电路板48上。柔性电路板48卡合地接合或以其他方式固定到支架40。光源46a-j可以由车辆电源(例如车辆电池)供电且每个都配置用于朝向位于光源前方的外露部分42的部分发射非聚焦光。光源46a-j可以被分开以在光源46a-j同时被激活时使光分布在大体整个外露部分42,从而为外露部分42提供均匀的激发。此外,支架40未外露的壁以及柔性电路板48朝向外露部分42的表面可以配置为在支架40中内反射光,由此优化激发并且进而优化外露部分42可感知的发光。
在操作中,每个光源46a-j可以通过车辆22的电控模块来控制(例如车身控制模块)且自动或手动地选择性被激活。根据一个实施例,光源46a-j可以在不同的强度被激活(例如通过脉冲宽度调制或直流电流控制),从而控制外露部分42的发光亮度。例如,当车辆22怠速或行驶时可以一起激活光源46a-j以发射低强度的光,并且当应用车辆制动器时可以一起激活光源46a-j以发射较高强度的光。只要应用制动器,光源46a-j就可以继续发射高强度的光,引起外露部分42以相对于光源46a-j在低强度被激活时的更高亮度发光。支架40和柔性电路板48整体被连接到位于车辆22后部的成型件24,如图2所示的那样。而且,光源46a-j可以配置为蓝色LED并且外露部分42可以配置为响应于蓝色光的激发而以红色发光。以这种方式,成型件24可以发挥与已有的制动灯一致的制动灯的作用,已有的制动灯是例如尾灯和中央高位制动灯(CHMSL)。
根据另一实施例,支架40和柔性电路板48可以连接到外车门成型件。当车门打开时,光源46a-j可以同时被激活以使外露部分42发光(例如以白色),由此使车门对于迎面而来的车辆而言更明显。
根据另一实施例,光源46a-j可以共同被激活以间歇地发光,从而使外露部分42以闪烁模式发光。因此,如果支架40和柔性电路板48整体连接设置在位于车辆22侧部上的成型件24内,各成型件24可以作为转向信号。也就是,当车辆操作者移动转向信号杆以表明左转向时,激活与位于车辆22左侧的成型件相连的光源46a-j,从而使位于车辆22左侧的外露部分42以与左前照灯和/或尾灯的闪烁模式类似的模式发光。同样地,当车辆操作者移动转向信号杆以表明右转向时,激活与位于车辆22右侧的成型件24相连的光源46a-j,从而使位于车辆22右侧的外露部分42以与右前照灯和/或尾灯的闪烁模式类似的模式发光。此外,当车辆操作者激活危险报警开关时,可以一起激活车辆22每侧的光源46a-j,从而使车辆22每侧的外露部分42以与危险报警灯的闪烁模式类似的模式发光。关于当前所述的实施例,外露部分42可以配置为以与车辆22的前照灯的光束颜色配合的颜色发光,例如琥珀色或白色。
根据又一实施例,光源46a-j可以被激活以产生多种装饰效果。例如,光源46a-j可以相继地被激活,以光源46a开始,之后通过光源46b、光源46c等,并且以光源46j结束,由此使外露部分42整体上逐渐发光。光源46j一经被激活,就可以停用光源46a-j以使外露部分42的发光一起减弱或消除。之后,可以再次重复上述概括的启动顺序。此外或可选地,为了产生穿过外露部分42的移动的光的印象,可以依次激活和停用每个光源46a-j。仍另外或可选地,光源46a-j的一部分可以配置为发射第一波长的光且光源46a-j的另一部分可以配置为发射第二波长的光,第二波长不同于第一波长。以这种方式,外露部分42或外露部分42的部分可以配置为在光源46a-j的仅第一部分被激活时以第一颜色发光且在光源46a-j的仅第二部分被激活时以第二颜色发光。当光源46a-j的第一部分和第二部分一起被激活时,外露部分42以第三颜色发光,第三颜色由第一颜色和第二颜色的混合光组成。由于光源46a-j所获取的电流通常是低的,因此即使是在车辆22熄火时,光源46a-j也可以被激活或保持为激活以产生发光照明。一经特定的时间段流逝就可以停用光源46a-j,或如果车辆电源变低,则可以自动关闭光源46a-j。
相应地,这里有利地提供了成型件。成型件保持它的保护性能,同时提供具有功能和装饰特性的发光照明。
为了说明和限定本发明的教导的目的,应该注意的是,这里利用术语“大体上”和“约”来表示可归因于任何定量的比较、数值、测量或其他表示的固有不确定性程度。这里也利用术语“大体上”和“约”代表在不引起所述主题的基本功能的变化的情况下,定量表示可以从所述参考改变的程度。
应当理解的是,在不脱离本发明构思的情况下,可以对上述结构做出变化和修改,并且进一步应当理解的是,这些构思旨在被下述权利要求覆盖,除非这些权利要求通过其文字另有明确表述。
