Various embodiments of corner-coupled backlights are described, where one or more LEDs are optically coupled to a truncated corner of a solid rectangular light guide backlight. In one embodiment, a high-power, white light LED is mounted in a small reflective cavity, which is then coupled to a flattened corner of the light guide. The reflective cavity provides a more uniform light distribution at a wide variety of angles to the face of the truncated corner to better distribute light throughout the entire light guide volume. This creates a more uniform light guide emission into the liquid crystal layers. In other embodiments, an LED is mounted in a small cavity near a corner of the light guide, and a reflector is mounted on the corner of the light guide. Various techniques for removing heat from the LED without adding additional area requirements are also disclosed.
