Diverse has specialists in optical engineering with experience in
designing and optimising light guides based on photometric modeling and
the fundamental understanding of colorimetry.

Heater control panel of the Ford
Fiesta
- Complex lightguide design required because of constraints from
space and electronics
- Uses pcb mounted filament lamps and LEDs for buttons.
- Icon illumination 2-6 nits, evenly controlled using faceted
surfaces
- Colour and density controlled with paints and filters
|
Climate control panel of the Volvo
S40 and V40
- Filament and LED sources
- Uses reflections of internal housing & plastic lightguides
- High intensity gull-wing leds mounted on the pcb
- Specifications for day and night lighting Colour optimised by
filtering the lamps and controlling the colour and density of
the paints.

Driver control centre of General
Motor's concept car - The Precept
- Photometric models- using Opticad v7.0
- Maximise luminance
- Control of colour
- Even distribution - remove hot spots
- Maximise lightguide viewing angle
- High contrast

Photometric Tracing
Diverse are able to take optical components with complex shapes
and trace rays through the component. With sufficient rays this
provides a descripion of the complete photometry. |
