LED Light Coupler Design for a Very Thin Light Guide

A design of a light coupler between a LED and a very thin light guide (0.2mm thickness) is presented. Due to the light guide's very thin thickness, conventional light couplings between LEDs and light guides do not provide enough coupling efficiency. We investigate two different coupling methods: side coupling using a complex-shaped lens and bottom coupling using a grating. This paper presents a draft design of the first approach which couples light from 0.4mm LED to 0.2mm light guide without significant losses.
