Abstract

L'invention porte sur une unité de plaque de guidage de lumière permettant la réalisation d'une distribution de lumière appropriée pour un éclairage spatial et ayant une excellente aptitude à la maintenance. L'unité de plaque de guidage de lumière comprend une unité de source de lumière (14) destinée à former une source de lumière linéaire constituée en agençant des sources de lumière ponctuelles de façon approximativement linéaire et une plaque de guidage de lumière (16) comportant au moins une surface d'extrémité d'entrée à travers laquelle entre de la lumière venant de l'unité de source de lumière, une surface de sortie qui est à peu près orthogonale à la surface d'extrémité d'entrée et à partir de laquelle sort la lumière qui est entrée par la surface d'extrémité d'entrée, et une surface de réflexion qui est disposée à l'opposé de la surface d'émission et sur laquelle est formée une configuration de dispersion de lumière. La configuration de dispersion de lumière de la plaque de guidage de lumière est formée de façon à être plus dense dans la région à peu près centrale de la surface d'émission que dans la région périphérique de la surface d'émission.
