A light collimation device comprising a wave guide plate (100) having a
first surface (101), an opposing faceted second surface (102) comprising
a plurality of essentially planar parallel portions (103) and a plurality
of facets (104) connecting said planar parallel portions (103) and at
least one surface (105) for receiving light is provided. Each facet (104)
is formed at a non-right angle (.beta.) to said planar parallel portions
(103) and the device further comprises a plurality of collimating
refractive elements (106), wherein each collimating refractive element
(106) corresponds to a separate one of the plurality of facets (104), and
is located in the beam path of at least the major part of light being
reflected on the corresponding facet (104) and extracted from said wave
guide plate (100).
