照射装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007521622
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An irradiation apparatus (100) comprises a plurality of solid state radiation sources (104) to generate radiation that modifies a first material such as by- curing or creating alignment through polarization. The solid state radiation sources (104) can be disposed in an array pattern. Optical concentrators (120) , arranged in a corresponding array pattern, receive radiation from corresponding solid state radiation sources (104) . The concentrated radiation is received by a plurality of optical waveguides (130) , also arranged in a corresponding array pattern. Each optical waveguide includes a first end (132) to receive the radiation and a second end (133) to output the radiation. The radiation modifying apparatus (100) can be utilized for continuous substrate, sheet, piece part, spot curing, and/or 3D radiation-cure processes.
