Light module for an endoscopic system, use of a light module, and endoscopic system

A light module comprising:

• a coupling element being a single and integral part comprised of a transparent material, the coupling element including a main body portion, a proximal side, a distal side, a plurality of collimator elements or portions formed on the distal side, and a plurality of convex surfaces formed on the proximal side, the main body portion including a common light receiving portion, plurality of collimator elements or portions being arranged around the common light receiving portion;
• at least one light guiding element aligned with the common light receiving portion;
• a plurality of light emitting devices mounted onto an outside surface of the coupling element and on the distal side of the coupling element, the plurality of light emitting devices being configured to emit light through the plurality of collimator elements or portions and through the transparent material to the plurality of convex surfaces;
• a plurality of mirror elements or portions configured to reflect the light emitted by the plurality of light emitting devices and collimated by the plurality of collimator elements or portions towards and into the at least one light guiding element, the plurality of mirror elements or portions comprising thin films or coatings on the plurality of convex surfaces of the coupling element,
• wherein each light emitting device of the plurality of light emitting devices emits its light through a specific or own collimator element or portion onto a specific or own mirror element or portion, and wherein the plurality of mirror elements or portions reflects and directs the light emitted by the plurality of light emitting devices through the transparent material and into the common light receiving portion.
