Abstract
The invention relates to an illumination module () comprising a plurality of light sources () distributed over a light guiding plate () accommodating said light sources and capable of guiding light of said light sources through at least a portion of said plate. The light guiding plate has one or more out-coupling structures (), preferably arranged around each light source, so that at least a portion of the light emitted by a first light source (A) and at least a portion of the light emitted by a second adjacent light source (B) mix within said light guiding plate before leaving said illumination module as a single substantially collimated mixed light beam. The invention further relates to a lamp and a display apparatus comprising such an illumination module.
