La présente invention concerne un écran tactile et un système tactile qui permettent d'améliorer l'homogénéité de la lumière répartie sur une zone de détection tactile (120) de l'écran tactile. L'écran tactile comporte une source de lumière (100) qui contient un corps électroluminescent (102), un corps de guidage de lumière (104) et une unité de réflexion (106). Le corps électroluminescent (102) est situé au niveau d'un orifice du corps de guidage de lumière (104) et l'unité de réflexion (106) est formée dans le corps de guidage de lumière (104) au niveau d'un côté éloigné d'une zone de détection tactile (120). La lumière émise par le corps électroluminescent (102) se projette dans le corps de guidage de lumière (104) et elle est transmise à l'intérieur du corps de guidage de lumière (104), puis une partie de la lumière transmise à l'intérieur du corps de guidage de lumière (104) est répartie sur la zone de détection tactile (120) après avoir été réfléchie par l'unité de réflexion (106). La présente invention concerne également une source de lumière (100) qui permet d'améliorer l'homogénéité de la lumière émise par la source de lumière (100).
