Abstract:
A light source ( 25 ) for emitting collimated light ( 29 ) in particular for a large area luminaire ( 21 ) comprises a light guide unit ( 43 ) comprising a plurality of light guide strips ( 91 ) configured for guiding light received at the at least one lateral coupling face ( 47 ), for example, by total internal reflection. The light guide strips comprise a plurality of localized light source regions ( 57 ) at a main front face ( 55 A) for having light pass there through, wherein the light source regions ( 57 ) are provided along the light guide strip ( 91 ) within a non-source region ( 59 ). The light source ( 25 ) further comprising a plurality of light emitting units ( 41 ) for emitting light into the light guide strips ( 91 ) through respective portions of the at least one coupling face ( 47 ), and a collimation unit ( 45 ) extending along the main front face ( 55 A) and comprising a plurality of collimating elements. Each collimating element comprises an input side and an output side, is optically associated to one of the plurality of light source regions ( 57 ), and is configured to receive light emerging from the associated light source region ( 57 ) at its input side and to emit collimated light ( 29 ) from a respective collimated light emitting region ( 61 ) formed at its output side.

Claim (Index 7):
The light source ( 25 ) of any one of  claim 1  to  claim 6 , wherein the plurality of light emitting units ( 41 ) comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes having a light emitting surface of about 0.25 mm\u00d70.25 mm, and the plurality of light guide strips ( 91 ) comprises rectangular cross-sections in the range of about 0.3 mm\u00d70.3 mm, and wherein in particular the light source regions have each a circular shape with a diameter of about 100 \u03bcm and are, for example linearly, aligned along a respective light guide strip with a pitch in the range of about 3 mm to about 6 mm.
