A new and thin, FL 2 P(Flat LED Lighting Panel) with ultra‐high‐uniformity for LCD backlight is presented. It has a hollow‐cavity structure consisting of a pair of LED/collimator units, a slightly curved bottom reflector and a top diffuser, without any planar light guide inside. It has a great advantage of making itself thinner, less weight and lower cost. The LED/collimator unit has a collimating cylindrical lens and a side‐placed RGB LED array. The collimating lens is developed particularly for higher‐coupling efficiency and narrower beam to achieve thinner structure and more excellent uniformity.
