Lumidesign designs and manufactures lighted mirrors, mirror TV's and other architectural metal andglass-based lighting products. Their most important product series incorporates LED (Light Emitting Diode)lighting into vanity mirrors and vanity mirror cabinets, representing 16 standard products line for Lumidesign.These products currently use LED lighting in which a specific portion of the glass mirror sheet is modified tobecome non-reflective and is delegated to the light source. LED lighting is placed behind these non-reflectiveportions of the glass mirror sheet to provide illumination emanating from the front of the mirror.Lumidesign wishes to differentiate their products from the competition in this market by developing atechnology to have the mirror lighting invisibly located behind the mirrored glass surface when the lighting isnot required. Then, when the lighting is turned on, the backlit portions of the mirrored surface are to allow forlight to be efficiently emitted. Lumidesign currently has access to partially-mirrored glass that can achieve thiseffect, however the mirrored finish covering the LED lighting causes substantial light loss and is therefore notpractical.At McMaster University we have expertise in optical design, optical computer modelling and prototypedevelopment. Specifically, optical coatings and optical films that simultaneously provide a mirror finish andalso act as efficient window materials for LED and OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) light to passthrough can be developed. During this project we will develop a solution for Lumidesign that demonstrateshigh efficiency mirrored light sources as well as a set of measurements demonstrating the superior energyefficiency of the result.

Lumidesign设计和制造照明镜子，镜子电视和其他建筑金属和玻璃照明产品。他们最重要的产品系列将LED（发光二极管）照明融入化妆镜和化妆镜柜中，代表了Lumidesign的16个标准产品系列。这些产品目前使用LED照明，其中玻璃镜板的特定部分被修改为非反射，并被委托给光源。LED照明被放置在玻璃镜面的这些非反射部分的后面，以提供从镜子前面发出的照明。Lumidesign希望通过开发一种技术，使镜子照明在不需要照明的情况下无形地位于镜子玻璃表面后面，从而使他们的产品在这个市场的竞争中脱颖而出。然后，当照明打开时，镜面的背光部分将允许光被有效地发射。Lumidesign目前已经获得了部分镜面玻璃，可以实现这一效果，但是覆盖LED照明的镜面饰面会导致大量的光损失，因此不实用。在麦克马斯特大学，我们拥有光学设计，光学计算机建模和原型开发的专业知识。具体地，可以开发同时提供镜面光洁度并且还充当LED和OLED（有机发光二极管）光通过的有效窗口材料的光学涂层和光学膜。在这个项目中，我们将为Lumidesign开发一个解决方案，展示高效率的镜像光源，以及一组测量结果，展示其上级能源效率。
