Abstract
Light emitting panel assemblies and panel members for light emitting panel assemblies are provided. In some embodiments, a light source can be positioned to provide light to the panel member at an input area along a primary surface of the panel member without requiring light to be input from an edge surface of the panel member. Light emitted into the panel member can be refracted, reflected, diffused, and/or transmitted from the panel member based on the refractive, reflective, and other optical properties of the panel member to provide a desired light output, such as a uniform light output along at least a portion of the primary surfaces of the panel member. In some embodiments, the light emitting assembly can include surface coatings, treatments, reflectors, and/or materials to manage the refraction, reflection, diffused and/or transmitted of light in the panel member.
