A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a display panel assembly and a backlight unit positioned behind the display panel assembly, the backlight unit including a light guide plate and a backplane assembly. The backplane assembly comprises a printed circuit board and a plurality of light sources distributed thereon. The backplane assembly may further include a reflector and a support frame. The backplane assembly also includes a plurality of standoffs sized to provide a small, predetermined gap between the light sources and the light guide plate. An adhesive disposed in the gap couples the light sources to a surface of the light guide plate.

Display device and backlight unit therefor

A backlight includes a substrate, a plurality of light sources, a reflective layer, a light guide plate, a pattern of light extractors, a plurality of patterned reflectors, and a diffusive layer. The plurality of light sources are proximate the substrate. The reflective layer is on the substrate. The light guide plate is proximate the plurality of light sources. The pattern of light extractors is on the light guide plate. The plurality of patterned reflectors are on the light guide plate. Each patterned reflector is aligned with a corresponding light source. The diffusive layer is on the light guide plate.
