Abstract:
A stepped light guide illumination system employing a planar sheet of an optically transmissive material having a stepped light guiding structure and one or more parallel arrays of channels. Light is input into the stepped light guiding structure using a number of light sources, such as LEDs, located within the channels and coupled to the stepped light guiding structure at multiple locations. Light is extracted from the stepped light guiding structure by two-dimensional patterns of light extraction features provided within the parallel channels and in surface areas of the stepped light guiding structure located between the parallel channels.

Claim (Index 2):
An illumination system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a relative surface area of the first plurality of light extraction features is different than a relative surface area of the second plurality of light extraction features.
