PRODUCT
Detail
A light pipe is a rod-shaped optical component designed based on the principle of total reflection. Its core function is to efficiently conduct light or images. By utilizing the total reflection phenomenon, when light is incident on the inner wall of the light pipe at an angle greater than the critical angle, it is repeatedly reflected within the pipe and transmitted along the axial direction, with extremely low energy loss. It is applied in lighting and display technologies, medical and endoscopy technologies, machine vision, etc.
