Abstract
There is provided a projection display (200), and a method for illuminating a projection display (200). The projection display (200) comprising a waveguide (2) comprising an input grating (4) having a plurality of linear diffractive features (6), the input grating (4) configured to couple in light into the waveguide (2), and an array of LEDs configured to form an illumination pupil which is optically relayed as an input pupil (8) onto the input grating (4), such that at the input grating (4) the input pupil (8) has a shape that is larger in a direction parallel to the linear diffractive features (6) than in a direction perpendicular to the linear diffractive features (6).
