Abstract:
A waveguide comprises a first surface and a second surface. The second surface comprises a first plurality of grating structures. The waveguide is configured to guide an in-coupled light beam to undergo total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface. The grating structures are configured to disrupt the total internal reflection to cause at least a portion of the in-coupled light beam to couple out of the waveguide from the first surface, the portion of the in-coupled light beam coupled out of the waveguide forming out-coupled light beams. The waveguide further comprises a reflective layer disposed on the second surface and covering the first grating structures.

Claim (Index 11):
A light projecting system, comprising:\n a waveguide comprising a first surface and a second surface, the second surface comprising a first plurality of grating structures; and a light source coupling light into the waveguide to form an in-coupled light beam, wherein:\n the waveguide is configured to guide the in-coupled light beam to undergo total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface; \n the grating structures are configured to disrupt the total internal reflection to cause at least a portion of the in-coupled light beam to couple out of the waveguide from the first surface, the portion of the in-coupled light beam coupled out of the waveguide forming out-coupled light beams; and \n the waveguide further comprises a reflective layer disposed on the second surface and covering the first grating structures.
