Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH0330204A] PURPOSE:To obtain the desired luminous intensity distribution and unify the illuminance distribution in a pattern to be irradiated by forming the sectional form of a reflector with a no-conic curve. CONSTITUTION:A sectional curve R is obtained by connecting multiple coordinate points obtained on the basis of a distance between intersections of two conic curves E1, E2 crossing a straight line 2 and a distance function, and thereafter, the sectional curve R is dislocated three dimensionally to obtain a solid shape, and the sectional form of a reflector is formed with no-conic curve. The reflection characteristic thereof is thereby different from a conventional reflector using a conic curve, and the illuminance distribution of an irradiated pattern is unified, and furthermore, a boundary of the pattern is appeared clear.
