Embodiment 1
[0036] Such as figure 2 As shown, the figure includes a light source 201, a light guide plate 203, and a polarizer between the light source and the light guide plate. Before the light enters the small-area surface of the light guide plate, it has been polarized through the polarizing beam splitter 202, thus reducing the size of the polarizing beam splitter.
[0037] The light guide plate 203 has light redirecting structures on the large area surface 2032A of the light guide plate. This structure maintains the polarization of the light and guides the passing light to exit the light guide plate through the large area surface 2032B.
[0038] In addition, the light source may have a structure such as a reflector 2010 or a collimator to enable the light to be directed towards the light guide plate.

Embodiment 3
[0046] Figure 4 More details are provided for an optimized embodiment and an optimized operation for the present invention. The light source includes at least one light emitting element 4011 . The polarizing device has a plurality of polarizing beam splitters 4021 and 4022 and an optical element 4023 . The light 407 output from the light emitting element 4011 is directed to a polarizing beam splitter 4021 . The polarizing beam splitter 4021 splits the light beam 407 into two mutually orthogonal light beams 408 and 409 . At this point, beam 408 is emitted with one polarization and beam 409 is reflected by 4021 and is polarized orthogonal to 408 . Polarizing beam splitter 4021 is positioned to act to reflect beam 409 to a second polarizing beam splitter 4022 such that polarizing beam splitter 4022 is able to reflect beam 409 . The light beam 409 has the same polarization state as the light beam 410 after being reflected by the polarizing beam splitter 4022 . Before beam 41...
