The array of light-emitting diodes may be mounted to a flexible printed circuit. A layer of adhesive tape may attach the light guide plate to the flexible printed circuit. The tape layer may have upper and lower adhesive layers on a carrier film. The carrier film may be formed from a metal-coated polymer layer, a high-low dielectric stack, a metal foil, or other reflective or non-reflective structures. A stiffener may be provided to facilitate handling of the adhesive tape.
