Abstract:
A light-guide device includes a light guiding element ( 13 ) with a number of faces, including two parallel faces ( 26 ), for guiding light by internal reflection. A transparent optical element ( 19 ) has an interface surface for attachment to a coupling surface ( 14 ) of the light guiding element, and is configured such that light propagating within the transparent optical element passes through the interface surface and the coupling surface ( 14 ) so as to propagate within the light guiding element ( 13 ). A non-transparent coating ( 15 ) is applied to at least part of one or more faces of the light guiding element ( 13 ), defining an edge ( 17 ) adjacent to, or overlapping, the coupling surface ( 14 ) of the light guiding element ( 13 ). A quantity of transparent adhesive is deployed between the coupling surface and the interface surface so as to form an optically transmissive interface. An overspill region  31  of the adhesive extends to, and overlaps, the edge ( 17 ).

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 17 , further comprising a step of selectively removing said coating so as to leave a cutoff edge defined by an edge of an air-gap formed in said transparent adhesive.
