Slim waveguide coupling apparatus and method

In various embodiments, an illumination structure includes a discrete light source disposed proximate a bottom surface of a waveguide. A top mirror may be disposed above the discrete light source to convert modes of light emitted from the discrete light source into trapped modes, thereby increasing...

Zusammenfassung:In various embodiments, an illumination structure includes a discrete light source disposed proximate a bottom surface of a waveguide. A top mirror may be disposed above the discrete light source to convert modes of light emitted from the discrete light source into trapped modes, thereby increasing the coupling efficiency of the illumination structure.
