Abstract
A flat panel display assembly and a method for constructing a flat panel display assembly are provided. The flat panel display assembly includes a substrate, a plurality of light emitting components mounted to the substrate, at least one diffusion component having concave and convex opposing surfaces. Each of the diffusion components is coupled to the substrate such that the concave surface thereof is between at least some of the plurality of light emitting components and the convex surface thereof. The at least one diffusion component is configured to diffuse light emitted from the at least some of the plurality of light emitting components as the light propagates therethough. A diffusion layer is coupled to the substrate such that the convex surface of each of the at least one diffusion component is between the concave surface thereof and the diffusion layer and configured to further diffuse the light that propagates through the at least one diffusion component.
