Samsung edge-lit LED-based LCD; LED lighting assembly

The heart of the beast is the LED lighting assembly. The LEDs themselves are arranged in strips on all four sides of the panel (the bottom strip was removed for this display). A series of filters, a "light guide," and a reflecting back serve to translate the LEDs' light toward the LCD display itself.
