1. A structure comprising:
- a plurality of illumination modules, each illumination module comprising;
a light source;
a first reflective member that reflects light emitted from the light source; and
a second reflective member that includes a reflective surface that includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein each portion reflects light that is reflected from the first reflective member, the first portion being more specular reflecting than the second portion and the second portion being more diffuse reflecting than the first portion; and
a liquid crystal display panel disposed over the plurality of illumination modules.

Abstract
A backlight for a display includes a plurality of illumination modules, each illumination module including a light source and a reflective member. A portion of the reflective member is disposed over the light source. A liquid crystal display panel is disposed over the plurality of illumination modules. The reflective member is configured such that a majority of light from the light source is directed parallel to the liquid crystal display panel, to provide uniform illumination of the liquid crystal display panel. In some embodiments, the light source is at least one semiconductor light emitting diode.

21. A structure comprising:
-
a plurality of illumination modules, each illumination module including; a light source; a first reflective member that reflects light emitted from the light source in a first direction; and a second reflective member that includes a reflective surface that includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein each portion reflects the light from the first reflective member in a second direction that differs substantially from the first direction, the first portion being more specular reflecting than the second portion and the second portion being more diffuse reflecting than the first portion; and a liquid crystal display panel disposed over the plurality of illumination modules. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
