A diffuser incorporates diffuser elements (10) that each include a waveguide (12) coupled between a concentrator (14) and an inverse concentrator (16). The diffuser (44) may be disposed between a backlight (102) and a modulator (114) in a display (100). Luminance ratios of light rays emitted by a low resolution image-forming backlight (102) toward a high resolution light modulator (114) may be preserved such that, for viewing directions within the display's preferred angular viewing range, an observer perceives no significant change in the luminance of displayed images, irrespective of changes in the observer's viewing direction. |
