A device comprises a film with an adhesive layer on a first side of a core layer, a major sheet area of the film bounded by edges of the film with a light extracting region positioned to receive and extract light propagating by total internal reflection within the core layer out of the major sheet area, and a minor sheet between the major sheet area and an array of strips. The strips extend from the minor sheet area of the film, and each strip of the array of strips is folded within a fold region and stacked. The device further comprises a component extending a width of the array of strips where they extend from the minor sheet area, wherein the adhesive layer adheres the component to the film between fold region and the light extracting region. In some embodiments, the adhesive layer is a cladding layer.

The present disclosure relates to a field of display technology and discloses a light guide plate and a method of producing the same. The light guide plate includes a body having a surface which forms an incident surface, an exit surface and a slope, wherein the incident surface is perpendicular to the exit surface, and the incident surface and the exit surface are connected by the slope, wherein in a direction perpendicular to the incident surface and from the incident surface towards the exit surface, thickness of location of the light guide plate where the slope is formed is gradually reduced, and wherein the slope is provided with a light guide component for guiding the light that is emitted towards the slope towards an area inside the light guide plate that corresponds to the exit surface.

A planar illumination device includes a light guide plate guiding a light entering from a light-entering end surface and emitting the light from a light-emission surface, and a fixing member disposed in a manner covering at least an area in the light-entering end surface side of the light-emission surface. The light guide plate has a plurality of first prisms formed on the light-emission surface in the area covered by the fixing member in the light-entering end surface side and a plurality of second prisms formed on the light-emission surface in an area covered by no fixing members. The number of second prisms per unit length in the width direction is smaller than the number of first prisms per unit length in the width direction. Each of the second prisms is formed successively to any of the first prisms in a top view.

In one aspect, the present invention provides an optic, which comprises a light pipe extending from a proximal end to a distal end about an optical axis, said light pipe being adapted to receive at its proximal end at least a portion of light emitted by a light source. The optic further comprises a central reflector optically coupled to said distal end of the light pipe for receiving at least a portion of the light transmitted through the light pipe and reflecting said received light, a peripheral reflector optically coupled to said central reflector for receiving at least a portion of said reflected light, and an output surface. The peripheral reflector is configured to redirect at least a portion of the light received from the central reflector to said output surface for exiting the optic.

In one embodiment, an overhead street light (a luminaire) is formed that has an asymmetric light intensity distribution, where the peak intensity is greatest along the direction of the street, lower directly across the street, and much lower on the house side of the street. Around the edge of a circular transparent light guide are white light LEDs that inject light into the light guide. To help control the asymmetry of the light intensity distribution, sawtooth-shaped grooves are formed in the light guide surface opposite to the light-emission surface and parallel to the street. Gaussian diffusers are used to partially diffuse the light. By proper selection of the grooves, the Gaussian diffuser, and the relative amounts of light emitted by LED segments around the light guide, the desired asymmetrical light intensity distribution is achieved while a direct view of the light exit surface appears as a uniform light.

A uniform bezel display uses off-axis illumination from within a rear cavity to direct light into a backlight that distributes the light to a liquid crystal display panel. A light source, such as plural LEDs interfaced with a circuit board, is disposed on a beveled surface formed in the cavity and aligned to direct light into a reflective surface of the backlight interior. Offset placement of the light source in a cavity of the display housing reduces the footprint of the light source at the side of the housing perimeter so that a uniform width bezel will cover the LCD panel around the housing perimeter.

Light-emitting devices for motor vehicles are provided, which comprise a reflection hologram. A light-guiding body is provided to direct light from a light source arrangement (4) onto the hologram.
