    Abstract: An edge-lit light panel is disclosed, which includes a generally planar, transparent light guide. Light, such as from one or more solid state light source arrays, is coupled into the light guide through its lateral edge, and propagates generally laterally within the light guide via total internal reflection. A diffuser is attached to the front or rear face of the light guide, such as by lamination. The diffuser may have a refractive index matched to that of the light guide. The light guide may have one or more concave features on its lateral edge to reduce reflection losses at high angles of incidence. The concave features may include a single, one-dimensional groove that includes all the solid state light sources along a particular straight edge of the light panel, or may include a series of concave dimples, with one dimple for each solid state light source.
