Abstract:
Described herein are exemplary embodiments of a light guide assembly for a backlight and backlight assemblies using such light guide assemblies. An exemplary backlight assembly may have a light guide with a pair of opposing edges and a sliding LED subassembly placed along an edge of the light guide and attached to the light guide so that movement of the light guide causes movement of the sliding LED subassembly. In some embodiments, a first slot may be positioned within the light guide where a post extends from the sliding LED subassembly to engage with the first slot in the light guide. In some embodiments, a back pan may be positioned behind the light guide where a post can extend from the back pan to engage with a second slot in the light guide.

Claim (Index 15):
A backlight assembly, comprising:\n a light guide having first and second opposing edges to be illuminated; a plurality of slots in the light guide, each slot having a length that extends parallel to the first and second opposing edges of the light guide; and first and second sliding LED subassemblies coupled to the light guide via the plurality of slots therein, each sliding LED subassembly including a set of LEDs that are positioned in parallel with and at a fixed distance from a respective one of the opposing edges of the light guide; wherein the sliding LED subassemblies are constrained to move in kind with the light guide during thermal expansion or contraction of the light guide in a direction perpendicular to the length of the slots in the light guide, such that the fixed distance between the sets of LEDs and the respective edges of the light guide remains constant.
