Abstract:
An illumination system includes a lightguide having light extractors. A first light source is disposed at an end face of the lightguide. Light emitted by the first light source is extracted from the lightguide by the light extractors and exits the lightguide primarily along a first direction different than the length direction. A second light source is disposed along the length of the lightguide. Light emitted by the second light source enters the lightguide from a first side surface and exits the lightguide from a different second side surface along a second direction different than the first and length directions. Light emitted by the second light source has a first divergence in a first plane before entering the lightguide through the first side surface and a different second divergence in the first plane after exiting the lightguide from the second side surface.

Claim (Index 24):
An illumination system for a vehicle comprising:\n a structure configured to mount to the vehicle, the structure comprising: an elongated lightguide extending along a length direction of the lightguide between opposing first and second end faces of the lightguide and comprising a plurality of first light extractors extracting light that would otherwise be confined within the lightguide in mutually orthogonal lateral directions perpendicular to the length direction and propagate within the lightguide along the length of the lightguide primarily by total internal reflection; at least one first light source disposed at the first end face of the lightguide, light emitted by the first light source entering the lightguide from the first end face and extracted by the first light extractors exiting the lightguide primarily along a first direction different than the length direction; and at least one second light source disposed along the length of the lightguide between the first and second end faces, light emitted by the second light source entering the lightguide from a first side surface of the lightguide and exiting the lightguide from a different second side surface of the lightguide along a second direction different than the first and length directions, the first and second side surfaces extending between the first and second end faces, light emitted by the second light source having a first divergence in a first plane before entering the lightguide through the first side surface and a different second divergence in the first plane after exiting the lightguide from the second side surface.
