Superanamorphic backlighting remote imaging display (SABRID)

The Super-Anamorphic Backlighting Remote Imaging Display (SABRID) collimating system is the purpose of this paper. The SABRID transforms point light source into collimated (plane) beam. In contrast to common bulky axial-symmetry lens collimator, the highly compact SABRID has three (3) axes of symmetry. The SABRID is attractive for many civilian and military applications, when compactness and/or separation of source light power (up to 20 m) from display itself is essential for safety packaging and other purposes.
