LIGHT SOURCE APPARATUS AND IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18608631 titled 'LIGHT SOURCE APPARATUS AND IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a light source apparatus that includes a light source and a light guide member. The light beam from the light source enters the light guide member, which includes a reflector to reflect the light beam on one surface and a separator to separate the light beam on another surface into reflected and transmitting light beams. The light beam is reflected by the reflector and separator and propagates in a specific direction.
- The light guide member has a reflector and a separator to control the direction of the light beam.
- The separator separates the light beam into reflected and transmitting beams.
- The incident angle of the light beam on the second surface of the light guide member is smaller than a critical angle.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Light source apparatus with reflector and separator in the light guide member.
- Control of light beam direction and separation into reflected and transmitting beams.
- Specific incident angle for efficient light emission.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in:
- Lighting systems

Original Abstract Submitted
A light source apparatus includes a light source, and a light guide member which a light beam from the light source enters. The light guide member includes a reflector configured to reflect the light beam on a first surface of the light guide member, and a separator configured to separate the light beam on a second surface of the light guide member different from the first surface into a reflected light beam and a transmitting light beam. The light beam incident on the light guide member is reflected by each of the reflector and the separator and propagates in a first direction. Among light beams propagated through the light guide member, the light beam separated by the separator is emitted from the light guide member. An incident angle of the light beam incident on the second surface of the light guide member is smaller than a critical angle.
