 | The display backlighting system of claim 8, wherein the display surface area of the liquid crystal display is parallel to a mounting surface area of the printed circuit board. |
 | Typically, the goal of backlighting is to route light from a source efficiently and evenly into the planer area (backplane) of a light pipe directly behind the LCD so that it may escape forward through the LCD, giving the appearance of an illuminated display. |
