Patent ID: 7497599

Claim:
A light emitting panel assembly comprising at least a light source, a display and a film, plate or substrate positioned between the light source and the display, wherein one side of the film, plate or substrate has at least one reflective surface and a pattern of non-reflective light transmissive surfaces, and the other side of the film, plate or substrate has optical deformities of well defined shape, wherein light emitted from the light source that strikes the non-reflective light transmissive surfaces on the one side of the film, plate or substrate passes through the film, plate or substrate and is redirected by at least one of the optical deformities on the other side of the film, plate or substrate to fit a particular application, and wherein light that is emitted from the light source that strikes the reflective surface on the one side of the film, plate or substrate is recycled or reflected such that some of the reflected or recycled light is reflected back toward the film, plate or substrate and strikes the non-reflective light transmissive surfaces and passes through the film, plate or substrate and is redirected by at least one of the optical deformities on the other side of the film, plate or substrate to fit a particular application.
