An optical system and method provides at least one, and preferably an array of relatively small, high brightness light sources with a surrounding surface that exhibits brightness, thereby reducing the contrast between the high brightness produced by the light sources and the brightness of their surrounding surfaces. The optical system includes a light waveguide structure (25) that captures a portion of the light from the individual high-brightness light sources (29), and then re-emits the source light to create brightness in the light sources' surrounding surfaces (35). The optical system is particularly adapted for use with LEDs, but could be used with other high brightness light sources. |
