Zusammenfassung:Apparatus for providing substantially uniform illumination with multiple, discrete sources of light include arrays of abutting light spreading elements, such as reflective light pipes or collimation lenses, for substantially eliminating visible boundaries between the sources of light. Methods for generating a substantially uniform field of emission include introducing light into such a spreader array. Light therapy devices including arrays of light spreading elements are also disclosed. L'invention concerne un appareil permettant de fournir un éclairage pratiquement uniforme avec de multiples sources de lumière discrètes qui inclut des réseaux d'éléments de propagation de la lumière s'aboutant, tels que des conduits de lumière réfléchissants ou des lentilles de collimation, pour pratiquement éliminer les limites visibles entre les sources de lumière. L'invention concerne également des procédés pour générer un champ d'émission pratiquement uniforme qui incluent l'introduction de lumière dans ce réseau propagateur. L'invention concerne aussi des dispositifs de photothérapie qui incluent des réseaux d'éléments de propagation de la lumière.
