Abstract
A method of forming an optical light manifold that includes forming a faceted optic, forming an optical faceplate, joining the faceted optic to the optical faceplate to define a cavity therebetween and filling the cavity with a fluid.
Claims31
An optical light manifold, comprising:
- an optical faceplate having a refractive index;
- said optical faceplate defining a light emitting area;
- a faceted optic having said refractive index;
- said faceted optic joined to said optical faceplate defining a cavity therebetween;
- and
- a fluid disposed within said cavity.

A light emitting system comprising:
- a light source that emits light along a first direction;
- and
- a molded optical light manifold that is positioned to receive said light from said light source, said molded optical light manifold comprising:
- an optical faceplate having a refractive index;
- said optical faceplate defining a light emitting area;
- an faceted optic having said refractive index;
- said faceted optic joined to said optical faceplate defining a cavity therebetween;
- and
- a fluid disposed within said cavity.
