Abstract:
Light guide assemblies including first, second and third light guides, a first optical coupling component disposed between and attached to the first and second light guides, and a second optical coupling component disposed between and attached to the second and third light guides are described. The first optical coupling component is adapted to couple light between the first and second light guides, and the second optical coupling component is adapted to couple light the between second and third light guides. The first light guide, the second light guide and the first optical coupling component are coextensive over a first region of the assembly, and the second light guide, the third light guide and the second optical coupling component are coextensive over a different second region of the assembly.

Claim (Index 31):
A monolithic light pipe extending along a length of the light pipe between opposing first and second end faces and comprising non-overlapping first and second portions, each portion having a length of at least 20 percent of a length of the monolithic light pipe, the light pipe comprising a first optical coupling component disposed between the first and second end faces configured to couple light into the light pipe, the light pipe having a different second optical coupling component between the first and second end faces configured to couple light into the light pipe, wherein the light pipe is configured such that that light coupled into the light pipe through the first optical coupling component is substantially uniformly extracted primarily from the first portion of the light pipe and light coupled into the light pipe through the second optical coupling component is substantially uniformly extracted primarily from the second portion of the light pipe.
