It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. The light guide serves to introduce a partial light from an LED light source at such an angle that the partial light is trapped inside the transparent plate, and the scattering pattern serves to scatter the trapped light beam at a position directly above the LED light source so that the scattered light beam escapes out of the transparent plate toward an LCD panel.
