Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wave guide that can be deformed into a required shape and fixed in that shape by polymerization of the material. The wave guide substrate comprises a flexible monomer or oligomer material that is polymerized to form a rigid polymer and fix the shape of the wave guide. Light sources, such as LED's, and/or photo voltaic cells may be embedded within the substrate of the wave guide so that the wave guide is a luminaire or solar concentrator, respectively.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A deformable wave guide comprising: a flexible wave guide substrate comprising a first monomer incapable of polymerization under UV light, the deformable wave guide further comprising a polymerization portion embedded within the first monomer, wherein the polymerization portion comprises a second monomer capable of polymerization under UV light that enables the polymerization portion to form a rigid rib through the deformable wave guide once polymeri…
