Light Guides have thin, 0.4 mm profile.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Wed, 07 May 2008 07:37:27 -0500

Designed for portable devices, mobile phones, laptop and desktop LCDs, keypads, and keyboards, Microlens(TM) Light Guides feature MicroLens(TM) light extraction technology, which reduces number of LEDs required. They provide bright, uniform light in thin form factor with no hot spots or dark areas. Light is extracted precisely where needed, such as around thru-holes for keypads, and devices can backlight LCD displays in sizes from 0.25-50 in. diagonal.

LED Light Guides feature IP68 sealed design.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 07:45:06 -0500

Available in various diameters, lengths, and colors, LED Light Guides are offered in protruding styles or versions that are mounted flush with front panel. Chamfered light coupling area allows other LEDs to emit light perpendicular to circuit board. IP68 sealing is accomplished through special shaping of light guide body accompanied with precision boring by customer. Light guide lengths are available up to 100 mm on request.

Passive Light Guides feature software-optimized design.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Tue, 15 Feb 2005 07:53:04 -0500

Designed with ray-trace software to ensure minimal light loss and consistent performance, Light Pipes carry light from board-mounted SMT or leaded LEDs to desired location. LED can be mounted according to dictates of circuit board layout, while light itself can appear in location, size, and/or shape that best suits design of product. Light Pipes include 50+ devices in 4 general categories: Light Bars, Vertical Arrays, Light Transporters, and Right Angle Light Pipes.
