A light emitting assembly comprises first and second segmented light guide structures. The first segmented light guide structure comprises first light guide elements physically connected at one end to a first common backbone member. The second segmented light guide structure comprises second light guide elements physically connected at one end to a second common backbone member. The common backbone members define a fixed separation between adjacent ones of the light guide elements. LED light sources are positioned adjacent the common backbone members such that each of the light guide elements receives light from at least one of the LED light sources. The first segmented light guide structure and the second segmented light guide structure are arranged with the first light guide elements interdigitated with the second light guide elements, with sufficient separation between the first light guide elements and between the second light guide elements to provide air gap boundaries between adjacent first and second light guide elements to reduce the amount of light cross talk therebetween and to form a substantially contiguous light emitting surface.
