A light-emitting device and a related projection system. Light-emitting devices (300, 400) comprise: a light source unit (1) and focusing lenses (330, 430). The light source unit (1) comprises laser units (310, 410) and collimating lenses (320, 420) corresponding to the laser units (310, 410). The light-emitting surface of the laser units (310, 410) is a rectangle, and the light divergence angle of laser passing through the cross-section of the long side of the rectangle is smaller than the light divergence angle of same passing through the cross-section of the short side of the rectangle. The collimating lenses (320, 420) are used for focusing the laser from the laser units (310, 410) on a target surface to form a predetermined light spot. The laser units (310, 410) are located on the light axis of the collimating lenses (320, 420) in a predetermined position deviating from the focal point thereof, so that the predetermined light spot has a predetermined length-width ratio. The light-emitting device and the related projection system have the advantages of relatively small regulation quantity and relatively high assembly efficiency.

A tunable light-emitting diode (LED) lamp for producing an adjustable light output. In one embodiment, the LED lamp includes a drive circuit for driving LED dies in one of a plurality of light output configurations (e.g., a pre-sleep configuration, a phase-shift configuration, and a general lighting configuration). Further, the LED lamp may include an output-select controller and/or input sensor electrically coupled to the drive circuit to select the light output configuration. As such, the LED lamp is tunable to generate different levels of spectral output, appropriate for varying biological circumstance, while maintaining a commercially acceptable light quality and color rendering index.

Tunable LED lamp for producing biologically-adjusted light

A lighting device is described for receiving source light within a predetermined source wavelength range, converting the source light into a converted light, and reflecting the converted light to a desired output direction. The lighting device may use a micro electromechanical system (MEMS) device to receive and redirect the source light to the desired output direction. A conversion coating may be applied to the operative surface of the MEMS device to convert the source light into a converted light.

Wavelength converting lighting device and associated methods

A headlamp 1 includes a laser diode 3 that emits a laser beam, a light emitting part 7 that emits light upon receiving the laser beam emitted from the laser diode 3, and a reflection mirror 8 that reflects the light emitted from the light emitting part 7. According to the headlamp 1, the light emitting part 7 has a luminance greater than 25 cd/mm2, and an area size of an aperture plane 8 a perpendicular to a direction in which an incoherent light travels outward from the headlamp 1 is less than 2000 mm2.

Vehicle headlamp and illuminating device

A micro-projector comprises an LED layer, a light pipe coupled to the LED, a LCOS panel, a projection lens, a PBS, an aperture layer coupled to the output end of the light pipe which has a transmissive opening for transmitting a portion of the light output and a reflective surface for reflecting the remaining portion of the light output toward the input end of the light pipe. Thus, the remaining portion of the light output is recycled back to the LED to increase the brightness of the light output of the LED. The micro- projector also comprises a reflective polarizer disposed between the light pipe and the aperture layer for transmitting the light output of a predetermined polarization and reflecting other polarization of the light output, thereby recycling unused polarization of the light output back to the LED to increase the brightness of the light output of the LED.
