Abstract:
1. A light emitting array apparatus comprising: a thermally conductive support panel having a front face; and a plurality of LEDs mounted on or adjacent said front face and in close thermal proximity to said support panel; wherein heat from said plurality of LEDs is dispersed through said support panel and dissipated by said support panel to surrounding air from said front face of said panel around said LEDs; wherein said support panel further includes a plurality of substantially linear parallel louvers positioned intermediate of said plurality of LEDs, said louvers being arranged to provide shading for said LEDs to increase contrast of the LEDs against ambient light conditions; and wherein a plurality of micro-louvers are disposed intermediate said louvers, said micro-louvers being disposed for additional contrast enhancement for said LEDs.
