Patent ID: 8403553

Claim:
A method for producing a display comprising a backlighting apparatus, the backlighting apparatus having a polygonal luminous area which corresponds to a size of the display, the method comprising: assembling the polygonal luminous area of the backlighting apparatus in a modular manner from a plurality of individual polygonal luminous modules; and selecting the individual polygonal luminous modules from a basic set of different-sized luminous modules; wherein the basic set of different-sized luminous modules comprises: a first luminous module having a first size, a second luminous module having a second size, a third luminous module having a length that corresponds to the length of the first luminous module and a width that corresponds to the width of the second luminous module, and a fourth luminous module having a length that corresponds to the width of the first luminous module and a width that corresponds to the length of the second luminous module, wherein each of said plural individual luminous modules has a light input part with light emitting diodes, wherein each of said plural individual luminous modules has a light exit area comprising a region of a step, wherein a base area opposite the light exit area has a reflective structure embodied as a rippled form which directs light emitted by the light emitting diodes during operation into the region of the step.
