Abstract
The present invention relates to alight-emitting panel () comprising: a first panel sheet (), the first panel sheet being optically transparent; a second panel sheet (); and a cellular support panel () sandwiched between the first panel sheet and the second panel sheet. The cellular support panel comprises optically transparent cell walls () defining a plurality of tubular channels () extending from the first panel sheet towards the second panel sheet. The light-emitting panel () further comprises a two-dimensional light-source array () comprising a plurality of light-sources (-;-) each being arranged to emit light into at least one of the tubular channels of the cellular support panel. Various embodiments of the present invention provide a cost-efficient light-emitting panel with advantageous light-emission and mechanical properties.
