Zusammenfassung:An illumination system, preferably for illumination in a car, comprising at least one plain or slightly curved, solid light guide ( 4 ) made of transparent material, said light guide receiving light from a light ( 2 ) source and being provided with means ( 5, 6 ) for extracting light from said light guide, the means for extracting light from said light guide have. Reflecting surfaces ( 7, 8, 9, 10 ) the slopes of which are varied as a function of the position of the extracting means in the light guide as well as the position of a reading plane, so as to direct the light flux to a desired reading plane position. Preferably the illumination system a laminated structure of light guide layers, said layers being formed of a light guide layer for diffuse homogeneous illumination ( 1 ) and at least one light guide layer ( 4 ) for spot illumination of a reading plane.
