A transparent adhesive is used to attach the removal tab to a rear surface of the lens. Transparent removal tabs can optionally be attached to the lens to facilitate removal for replacing the image. An image is secured to the front surface of the light diffuser panel.Ī protective layer or lens is optionally secured to the front surface of the image by the front supports. The rear supports extend into the viewable image area in an overlapping region. Rear supports are located along the rear surface of the light diffuser panel.
Inner edges of the front supports surround a viewable image area. The frame structure includes front supports along an inner surface that capture edges of a light diffuser panel. The present disclosure is directed to a gridable light panel having a thin-edge frame with a reduced edge profile. This edge effect is compounded when multiple light panels are arranged in an array, creating a dark gap between adjacent images. Light-emitting diode or LED light sources have been incorporated into direct-lit light panels to reduce the profile, but require extra cost to convert the dot light sources generated by an LED array to a uniform surface light source.Įdge-lit light panels that use LED's as the light source permit a thin profile, but the edge structure that houses the LED's can create a shadow or uneven lighting along the perimeter of the light panel.
The fluorescent tubes used in some direct-lit light panels, however, result in a thicker profile than an edge-lit light panel with a comparable lighted surface. Two of the primary lighting panel structures are direct-lit backlight modules and edge-lit modules.ĭirect-lit light panels provide more uniform light compared with the typical edge-lit light panel, especially for large-scale applications. Light panels are widely used in commercial places, such as factories, offices, hospitals, schools, and stores for informational and advertising purposes. When viewed from a distance, the frame edge is substantially invisible so that adjacent images appear to be a single image. The present disclosure is directed to a fine line gridable light panel with a reduced edge profile that permits a high percentage of the image to be visible within the viewable image area.
27, 2014, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. 61/971,167, entitled Gridable Light Panel, filed Mar. She actively participates in several technical working groups and committees.The present application claims the benefit of U.S. The results of her research are published in more than 200 journal papers.
Her work also focuses on the conception, development and test of new business models for market participants and aggregation models for energy resources and the respective management and operation methods. The integration of DER, demand response, and EVs in electricity markets, Transactive Energy (TE), and Peer-to-Peer approaches are important aspects of her work. Real-time management and simulation of energy resources, considering electrical networks, buildings, and diverse Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) approaches are relevant aspects of her work in this field - Electricity markets, addressing decision-support for market participants, prices and tariffs, ancillary services, energy transactions, service provision, and market simulation in the scope of wholesale and local markets. The main application fields of these projects comprise: - Smart Grids, accommodating an intensive use of Renewable Energy Sources, Distributed Energy Resources (DER), namely Distributed Generation (DG), storage, electrical vehicles, including the ones with gridable capability (V2G), and demand flexibility. She has been involved in more than 60 funded projects related to the development and use of Knowledge-Based systems, Multi-Agent systems, Neural networks, Particle Swarm Intelligence, and Data Mining. She works in the area of Power and Energy Systems, with special interest in the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques. She received her diploma in Electrical Engineering in 1986, her PhD in 1993, and her Habilitation in 2003, from University of Porto.
