Claim Text:
1. A wave guide reflector array projector apparatus, comprising: a first planar set of a plurality of rectangular wave guides, each of the rectangular wave guides in the first planar set having at least a first side, a second side, a first face, and a second face, the second side opposed to the first side along a length of the rectangular wave guide, at least the first and the second sides forming an at least partially internally reflective optical path along at least a portion of the length of the rectangular wave guide, and each of the rectangular wave guides in the first planar set including a respective plurality of curved micro-reflectors disposed between the first and the second sides at respective positions along at least a portion of the length of the respective rectangular wave guide to partially reflect a respective portion of a spherical wave front outwardly from the first face of the respective rectangular wave guide; and at least a second planar set of a plurality of rectangular wave guides, each of the rectangular wave guides in the second planar set having at least a first side, a second side, a first face, and a second face, the second side opposed to the first side along a length of the rectangular wave guide, at least the first and the second sides forming an at least partially internally reflective optical path along at least a portion of the length of the rectangular wave guide, and each of the rectangular wave guides in the second planar set including a respective plurality of curved micro-reflectors disposed between the first and the second sides at respective positions along at least a portion of the length of the respective rectangular wave guide to partially reflect a respective portion outwardly from the first face of the respective rectangular wave guide, the second planar set of rectangular wave guides arranged laterally from the first planar set of rectangular wave guides along a first lateral (Z) axis, the first lateral axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (X), the longitudinal (X) axis parallel to the lengths of the rectangular wave guides of at least the first and the second planar sets.
