`
`As an introductory comment, as I described in my 1989 book, High
`
`Collection Nonimaging Optics (with W. T. Welford), Academic Press, San Diego, CA
`
`(1989) (excerpts of which are attached as Exhibit B), fundamentally, imaging optical
`
`and non-imaging optical elements are analyzed by ray tracing, i.e., following the paths
`
`of rays through reflecting surfaces and refracting surfaces:
`
`Geometrical optics is used as the basic tool in designing
`almost any optical system, image forming or not. We use
`the intuitive ideas of a ray of light, roughly defined as the
`path along which light energy travels, together with
`surfaces that reflect or transmit the light. When light is
`reflected from a smooth surface it obeys the well-known
`law of reflection, which states that the incident and
`reflected rays make equal angles with the normal to the
`surface and that both rays and the normal lie in one plane.
`When light is transmitted, the ray direction is changed
`according to the law of refraction, Snell’s law. This law
`states that the sine of the angle between the normal and the
`incident ray bears a constant ratio to the sine of the angle
`between the normal and the refracted ray; again, all three
`directions are coplanar.

`(Exhibit B, at page 9.)

`

`
`Snell’s law is illustrated by the equation
`
`represent the refractive index of each medium, and θ1 and θ2 represent the angle
`
`between the normal and the incident ray and the angle between the normal and
`
`refracted ray. The ratio between the index of refraction of the first medium and the
`
`index of refraction of the second medium is equal to the ratio between the sine of the
`
`- 2 -
`
`2
`
`

`

`angle between the normal and refracted ray and the sine of the angle between the
`
`normal and incident ray.
`
`5. When a ray of light strikes a boundary between two media at an angle
`
`larger that the so-called critical angle θc with respect to the normal to the surface,
`
`, the light experiences an optical phenomenon known as total
`

`
`internal reflection. In the foregoing equation, n2 represents the refractive index of the
`
`less optically dense medium, e.g., air, and n1 represents the refractive index of the
`
`more optically dense medium, e.g., glass, plastic, etc. The concept of total internal
`
`reflection is described in my book, for example, at pages 77 to 81. Like any other
`
`reflecting surface, a total internal reflection surface obeys the law of reflection stated
`
`above.
`
`6.
`
`In accordance with these principles, it is possible to achieve a desired
`
`output ray angle distribution by selecting the geometry of an optic, e.g., a light guide.
`
`First, where the light guide reflects light, the law of reflection states that the angle of
`
`the reflected light to the normal is equal to the angle of the incident light to the
`
`normal. Second, where the light guide refracts light, Snell’s law dictates the angle of
`
`the refracted light.

`

`The ’956 Patent
`
`7.
`
`The ’956 patent describes a light emitting panel assembly for a vehicle
`
`exterior, such as brake lights, turn signals, or backup lights. Col. 1, ll. 24-32, col. 2, ll.
`
`15-20, col. 8, ll. 33-45, Figs. 3, 4. The light emitting panel includes symmetry-breaking
`
`structures, improperly referred to in the ’956 patent as “light extracting deformities,”
`
`on one or more of its sides, which the ’956 patent states are used to control the
`
`output ray angle distribution to suit a particular application. Col. 6, ll. 23-25. The light
`
`emitting panel assemblies may be mounted on a vehicle bumper, on the rear, front or
`
`sides of a vehicle, or on a vehicle trunk lid. Col. 8, ll. 33-50. Light sources are
`
`provided along light input surfaces of the panel members. Col. 8, ll. 59-63.
`
`8.
`
`According to my understanding of the prosecution of the ’956 patent,
`
`claim 1 was granted on application claim 1, which initially described a light emitting
`
`panel assembly including a light guide, light sources along a light input surface of the
`
`light guide, “deformities” on a surface of the light guide for controlling the output ray
`
`angle distribution of emitted light, and a transparent substrate:
`
`1. A light emitting panel assembly for vehicle illumination comprising
`a light guide having at least one light input surface, a plurality of closely
`spaced light sources along said light input surface for supplying light to
`said light guide, a plurality of light extracting deformities on at least one
`surface of said light guide, said deformities having shapes for controlling
`an output ray angle distribution of emitted light to suit a particular
`application, and a transparent substrate overlying at least one surface of
`
`- 4 -
`
`4
`
`

`

`said light guide.
`
`
`
`9.
`
`After being rejected as anticipated by Nakamura, this claim was amended
`
`to describe “light emitting diodes” along the light input surface, and the “substrate
`
`providing an exterior portion of a vehicle for vehicle illumination at said exterior
`
`portion,” as follows:
`
`1. A light emitting panel assembly for vehicle illumination comprising
`a light guide having at least one light input surface, one or more light
`emitting diodes a plurality of closely spaced light sources along said light
`input surface for supplying light to said light guide, a plurality of light
`extracting deformities on at least one surface of said light guide, said
`deformities having shapes for controlling an output ray angle
`distribution of emitted light to suit a particular application, and a
`transparent substrate overlying at least one surface of said light guide,
`said substrate providing an exterior portion of a vehicle for vehicle
`illumination at said exterior portion.
`
`
`
`10. After again being rejected, as anticipated by Serizawa, this claim was
`
`further amended to describe the light guide having opposite sides, and the light input
`
`surface “along at least one edge of said light guide” and “receiving light from said
`
`light emitting diodes and conducting the light from said edge for emission of the light
`
`from at least one of said sides,” as follows:
`
`1. A light emitting panel assembly for vehicle illumination comprising
`a light guide having opposite sides and at least one light input surface
`
`- 5 -
`
`5
`
`

`

`along at least one edge of said light guide, one or more light emitting
`diodes along said light input surface for supplying light to said light
`guide receiving light from said light emitting diodes and conducting the
`light from said edge for emission of the light from at least one of said
`sides, a plurality of light extracting deformities on at least one surface of
`said light guide of said sides, said deformities having shapes for
`controlling an output ray angle distribution of emitted light to suit a
`particular application, and a transparent substrate overlying at least one
`surface of said light guide of said sides, said substrate providing an
`exterior portion of a vehicle for vehicle illumination at said exterior
`portion.
`
`
`
`11. Therefore, according to my understanding of the prosecution history of
`
`the ’956 patent, it was allowed because it claims one or more LEDs along a light input
`
`surface, which is along at least one edge of the light guide, in which the light input
`
`surface receives light from the LEDs and conducts the light from the edge for
`
`emission of the light from at least one of the sides of the light guide.
`
`
`
`Decker – Claims 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 31
`
`12. Decker describes a signal lamp for a vehicle, including a housing or
`
`mounting device to install the lamp to a motor vehicle chassis. Col. 1, ll. 2-8. The
`
`signal lamp may be provided “as taillight and/or brake light and/or turn signal and/or
`
`backup light in motor vehicles.” Col. 3, ll. 51-56. The lamp includes optical waveguide
`
`- 6 -
`
`6
`
`

`

`elements L having prisms P, and a light incoupling surface LK receiving light from an
`
`LED. Abstract, col. 5, ll. 8-29; Fig. 3 (reproduced below). Decker therefore describes
`
`“a light guide having opposite sides and at least one light input surface along at least
`
`one edge of said light guide,” and “one or more light emitting diodes along at least
`
`one edge of the light guide.”
`
`
`13. As shown in Figure 3, the light from the LED is received at the light
`
`incoupling surface LK, is reflected (is totally internally reflected, consistent with
`
`Snell’s law, described above) by the prisms P, and is emitted from the side (the
`
`bottom surface from the view of Figure 3) of the light guide. Decker therefore
`
`describes “said light input surface for receiving light from said light emitting diodes
`
`and conducting the light from said edge for emission of the light from at least one of
`
`said sides.”
`
`14. Decker describes prisms P provided on at least one side (the bottom
`
`surface from the view of Figure 3) of the optical waveguide element L, as shown in
`
`Figure 3. Decker also describes selecting the geometry of the prisms P according to
`
`- 7 -
`
`7
`
`

`

`the desired output ray angle distribution. For example, at col. 5, ll. 38-48 (and with
`
`reference to Figure 3), Decker states:
`
`As already described under Fig. 2, each optical waveguide
`element (L) includes prisms (P) on the side facing away
`from the light emission surface, a few of these prisms being
`shown here by way of example. Depending on the desired
`light diffusion and the light pattern to be produced, the
`dispersion angle of the radiated light is able to be varied by
`varying the prism angles and/or the prism partitioning. Fig.
`3 exemplarily shows a number of prisms (P).
`
`
`15. The ’956 patent describes numerous examples of what it refers to as
`
`“light extracting deformities,” including, at col. 7, ll. 1-9, “prismatic surfaces.” Thus,
`
`Decker’s prisms P, which are prismatic surfaces, constitute the “light extracting
`
`deformities” that are referred to in the ’956 patent.
`
`16. As described above, according to fundamental laws of optics, including
`
`the law of reflection and Snell’s law, the geometry of a light guide dictates the angles
`
`of reflection and refraction of incident light. In describing that the prism angles and
`
`prism partitioning can be varied to vary the dispersion angle of the radiated light,
`
`Decker teaches that the geometry of the light guide is selected for “controlling an
`
`output ray angle distribution of emitted light to suit a particular application.”
`
`- 8 -
`

`
`

`

`17. As described above, Decker “relates to a signal lamp for motor
`
`vehicles,” col. 1, ll. 2-8, and states that the signal lamp may be “used as taillight
`
`and/or brake light and/or turn signal and/or backup light in motor vehicles,” col. 3,
`
`ll. 51-56. Thus, the light emitted by Decker’s signal lamp is intended to be seen from
`
`the exterior of the vehicle in which it is installed. Decker describes a transparent cover
`
`lens A situated over the optical waveguide L, as shown in Figures 1 and 5 (reproduced
`
`below). Col. 5, ll. 62-68. According to Decker, “uniform illumination of the
`
`transparent cover lens” provides for “a large signaling and warning effect.” Col. 1, ll.
`
`24-35. Thus, Decker discloses that the transparent cover lens A is illuminated. It
`
`would have been obvious to provide the transparent cover lens A as an exterior
`
`portion of a vehicle, e.g., as the transparent lens of a taillight, brake light, turn signal,
`
`or backup light, or to provide an additional transparent lens, downstream of the
`
`transparent cover lens A, as an exterior portion of a vehicle, e.g., as the transparent
`
`cover lens of a taillight, brake light, turn signal, or backup light, so that the “large
`
`signaling and warning effect” is achieved.
`
`
`
`
`
`- 9 -
`
`9
`
`

`

`
`
`18. As shown in Figures 1 and 5, Decker’s transparent cover lens A is
`
`positioned against the optical waveguide elements L, and covers at least one side of
`
`the optical waveguide elements L. As shown in Figure 3, Decker’s prisms P include
`
`depressions and raised surfaces. Further, referring to Figure 2, Decker describes
`
`LEDs fixed to a shared circuit board LP. Col. 4, ll. 56-59.
`
`19. Decker also describes transparent cover lens A as transparent cover seal
`
`A. Col. 6, ll. 5-8. The terms “cover” and “seal” indicate that the transparent cover seal
`
`A protects the optical elements covered by the cover seal.
`
`
`
`Wu – Claims 1, 4, 5, 6, and 31
`
`20. Wu describes a center high-mounted stop-light as display device 10, used
`
`as a brake light in the rear window of a vehicle. Col. 1, ll. 13-17. Light receiving edge
`
`14a receives light from light source 12, which may include an LED. Col. 2, ll. 19-30,
`
`col. 4, ll. 25-27, col. 3, ll. 29-33, 38-42. The display panel 14 includes first surface 14b
`
`and second surface 14c. Figures 1, 2 (reproduced below). Wu therefore describes “a
`
`light guide having opposite sides and at least one light input surface along at least one
`
`edge of said light guide,” and “one or more light emitting diodes along at least one
`
`edge of the light guide.”
`
`- 10 -
`
`10
`
`

`

`
`
`
`21. As shown in Figure 2, light from the LED 12 is received at the edge 14a,
`
`and is emitted from second surface 14c. Wu therefore describes “said light input
`
`surface for receiving light from said light emitting diodes and conducting light from
`
`said edge for emission of the light from at least one of said sides.”
`
`22. Wu describes depressions 14f within walls 14e of steps 14d, providing a
`
`desired light dispersion. Col. 5, ll. 27-36. These depressions 14f are provided on at
`
`least one side of the display panel 14. Additionally, Wu describes a series of
`
`depressions 14f, and specifically describes providing variation in the dispersion of
`
`light to achieve the desired dispersion of refracted light. For example, at col. 5, ll. 27
`
`to 32 (and with reference to Figure 5, (reproduced below), Wu states
`
`- 11 -
`
`11
`
`

`

`As illustrated in FIG. 5, the wall 14e of each step 14d is
`formed with a series of laterally spaced curved depressions
`14f, which provide continuous variation in the lateral angle
`of the wall 14e and thereby the desired lateral dispersion of
`light refracted out of the display panel 14 through the walls
`14e
`
`
`23. The ’956 patent describes numerous examples of “light extracting
`
`deformities,” including, at col. 7, ll. 1-9, “depressions or raised surfaces.” Therefore
`
`Wu describes “a plurality of light extracting deformities on at least one of said sides,
`
`said deformities having shapes for controlling an output ray angle distribution of
`
`emitted light to suit a particular application.”
`
`24. As described above, according to fundamental laws of optics, including
`
`the law of reflection and Snell’s law, the geometry of a light guide dictates the angle of
`
`reflection and refraction of incident light. In describing varying the lateral angle of the
`
`wall using depressions 14f, to vary the refracted and radiated light according to a
`
`desired dispersion of light, Wu discloses that the geometry of the light guide is
`
`- 12 -
`
`12
`
`

`

`selected for “controlling an output ray angle distribution of emitted light to suit a
`
`particular application.”
`
`25. Wu describes a transparent cover situated over the display device 10, as
`
`described at col. 4, ll. 20-24: “Although not specifically illustrated, a transparent cover
`
`or housing made of plastic or the like may be provided over the display device 10 for
`
`protection against accumulated dust, scratches, etc.” Because the transparent cover is
`
`used in Wu to cover the display device, which is intended as a center high-mounted
`
`stop-light to be viewed from the exterior of the vehicle, the light of the display device
`
`must pass through and illuminate the cover to illuminate the exterior of the vehicle. It
`
`would have been obvious to provide the transparent cover as an exterior portion of a
`
`vehicle, e.g., as the transparent lens of a center high-mounted stop-light, or to provide
`
`an additional transparent lens, downstream of the transparent cover, as an exterior
`
`portion of a vehicle, e.g., as the transparent cover lens of a center high-mounted stop-
`
`light.
`
`26. Wu describes the transparent cover or housing “provided over the
`
`display device 10 for protection against accumulated dust, scratches, etc.” Col. 4, ll.
`
`16-24.

`

`The Combination of Wu and Klinke — Claim 9
`
`27.
`
`Klinke describes an LED module for lighting the exterior of a vehicle,
`
`such as parking or brake lights. Col. 1, ll. 10—13, 44—47. Klinke describes LED modules
`
`that include a plurality 'of LEDs soldered to a printed circuit board. Col. 2, ll. 34—48.
`
`28.
`
`It would have been obvious to connect the LED display device for the
`
`center high—mounted stop—light described by Wu with to a circuit board, as described
`
`by Klinke. An LED requires a power supply, and, as demonstrated by Klinke, it was
`
`well—known to power an LED by connecting the LED to a circuit.

`I declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledge are true and
