  • The function of the light guide bar light source module

    The function of the light guide bar light source module

    After the LED light source is fully reflected and converged through the light guide element, the cut-off line of light and dark is imaged in the front position through LENS. A light guide — sometimes referred to as a light pipe — is a device that directs light from a light source (commonly an LED) to a place where the light is needed. These are collectoively called as Light Guide. The guide structure includes a light guiding bar having an upper surface and a lower surface and extending along a longitudinal direction.
