Abstract

En 中文
We report light collimation from a point source without the space normally needed for fan-out. Rays emerge uniformly from all parts of the surface of a blunt wedge light-guide when a point source of light is placed at the thin end and the source's position determines ray direction in the manner of a lens. A lenticular array between this light-guide and a liquid crystal panel guides light from color light-emitting diodes to designated sub-pixels thereby removing the need for color filters and halving power consumption but we foresee much greater power economies and wider application.
