Abstract

With the rapid development of various types of digi-readers, such as i-Pad, Kindle, and so on, non-self-luminous type has an advantage, low power consumption. This type of digi-reader reflects the surrounding light to display so it is no good at all to read under dim environment. In this paper, we design a LED lamp for a square lighted range with low power consumption. The e-book is about 12cm x 9cm, the total flux of LED is 3 Lm, and the LED lamp is put on the upper brink of the panel with 6cm height and 45 degree tilted angle. For redistributing the energy, the LED lamp has a freeform lens to control the light of small view angle and a non-axisymmetrical reflector to control the light of large view angle and create a rectangular-like spot. In accordance with the measurement data, the proposed optical structure achieves that the power consumption of LED light source is only 90mW, the average illumination is about 200 Lux, the uniformity of illumination is over 0.7, and the spot is rectangular-like with precise light/dark cutting-off line. Our designed optical structure significantly increases the efficiency of light using and meets the environmental goal of low energy consumption.
