An apparatus having a light source, a reflector, and a light pipe is
disclosed. The light source includes a plurality of LED dies arranged in
an array along a first direction, each LED die emitting light in a second
direction. The light pipe includes a layer of transparent material having
a top surface, a bottom surface, and an edge surface. The reflector
reflects light from the LED dies traveling in the second direction into
the edge surface of the light pipe such that a portion of the light is
reflected by the top and bottom surfaces of the reflector. In one
embodiment, the reflector redirects light leaving the LED dies within a
predetermined cone of angles about the first direction into the light
pipe such that the light in that predetermined cone of angles is totally
reflected by the top surface of the light pipe.
