Abstract

This paper presents the concept and study of an innovative device dedicated to compact illumination devices. Partially reflecting micro-prisms are sealed inside a plastic plate. Light injected by an edge of the panel is propagating under total internal reflection condition. Partial light extraction is performed by the micro-prism surfaces. Fan-out application is also described in the field of optical network.
