The waveguide is configured to receive, at the input surface, the illumination light provided by the light source and propagate the illumination light via total internal reflection. The waveguide is also configured to redirect, by the output coupler, the illumination light so that the illumination light is output from the output surface for illuminating a spatial light modulator.

The resin portion and the light-guiding plate face each other and are bonded to each other, and the resin portion and the wiring substrate face each other and are bonded to each other.

A light-emission device includes at least one emission module comprising: a luminescent crystal known as a concentrator crystal with at least six faces which are parallel in pairs, including a first and a second face, known as lateral faces, perpendicular to a direction x and separated by a distance corresponding to a horizontal dimension of the concentrator in the direction x; a first mirror, which is configured such as to cover the first lateral face at least partly, defining a surface area covered by the first mirror, and at least one surface area (SFS1) which is not covered by the first mirror defining an associated output face; a second mirror, which is configured such as to cover at least 95% of the second lateral face; a brightness triggering element, which is designed to generate emission of brightness radiation (L.sub.F) in the luminescent crystal; a ratio R between the non-covered surface area (SFS1) and a surface area (S.sub.L) of the first lateral face being determined such that rays of the brightness radiation are reflected on the first and second mirrors, and are propagated over a mean distance L.sub.moy such that

A light guide includes light guiding members including first and second light guiding members, an optical entrance having a plane on which the light is incident, a light guiding unit to guide the light incident on the optical entrance with repeated reflection, a light beam ejection unit to eject the light to an outside of the light guide, and an extraction unit to reflect the light guided by the light guiding unit toward the light beam ejection unit.
