| 摘要 |
The invention relates to an illumination system (4) comprising at least one light source (10) for emitting light of a predominant wavelength (W), and a light-transmitting panel (14) which comprises a light-emitting window (16), a rear wall (18) situated opposite said light-emitting window, and edge walls (20) extending between the light-emitting window and the rear wall. Light from the LED is coupled into the light-transmitting panel and is transported substantially via total internal reflection. The rear wall is provided with a two-dimensional array of recesses (22, 24). A sub-set of recesses (22) is distributed substantially regularly on the rear wall. Each recess (22A, 22B, 22C) from the sub-set (22) comprises scattering material (26). When light from the light-transmitting panel reaches the scattering material of the recess, part of the light (W′) is coupled out of the light-transmitting panel via scattering. The regular distribution of the scattering material on the rear wall improves the uniformity of the light emitted via the light-emitting window. In an embodiment of the illumination system, the scattering material comprises a luminescent material (28), which absorbs light of the predominant wavelength (UV) and emits light of a further predominant wavelength (R, G, B).
