The present invention is applicable to optical assemblies for use with direct-lit backlights that exhibit a lower transmission for light of normal incidence as compared to the transmission of light at higher angles of incidence, to accomplish a leveling effect of the light across the display. In one embodiment, an optical assembly includes a reflector having an internal Brewster angle and a reflective polarizer having orthogonal reflection and transmission axes. In another embodiment, a direct lit backlight assembly includes one or more lamps, a reflector having an internal Brewster angle, where a major surface of the reflector is facing at least one of the one or more lamps, and a light redirecting layer.
