Lighting system with high power LEDs, light management structure, and large-area electronics in the LUMENTILE European Project

摘要

LUMENTILE (LUMinous ElectroNic TILE) is an EU funded project within the Horizon 2020 program. The goal of LUMENTILE is the development of a new product (called, in itself, "LUMENTILE") to be brought to the market by year 2019: a luminous tile with novel functionalities, capable of changing its colour and interact with the user. Applications include interior/exterior tile for walls and floors covering, high-efficiency luminaries, and shows/advertising under the form of giant video screens. The integration of electronics and photonics technology inside a structure like the one proposed in LUMENTILE and their interaction with ceramic, represent the biggest challenge in the project. In this paper we will offer an overview of all the involved electro-optical elements, presenting the challenges and the design solutions to overcome them.
