Patent Number:	7281818
Title:	Light Reflector Device For Light Emitting Diode (LED) Array
Abstract:	A reflector device to be utilized with light emitting diodes (LEDs), and particularly with high-flux LEDs. In the reflector structure individual reflector portions surround at least one LED. Light output from each individual LED is reflected by sloping walls of each individual reflector portion and is redirected. As a result, light that may otherwise be lost is redirected to a more useful direction. Each individual reflector portion can have a cross-section of a conic shape, a complicated curve, and can also be oval in shape. A light device is realized by utilizing such a master reflector with an LED light source.
