    Abstract: A backlight that includes a plurality of light sources coupled to a substrate, and a patterned diffuser over the plurality of light sources is disclosed. The patterned diffuser including a plurality of patterned reflectors coupled to a patterned diffuser body, where each patterned reflector is positioned to align with a corresponding light source. The backlight has a longitudinal direction, and the substrate and the patterned diffuser body have a maximum longitudinal substrate dimension (LMax,S) and a maximum longitudinal patterned diffuser body dimension (LMax,PDB), respectively, in the longitudinal direction. The backlight has a thermal alignment tolerance in the longitudinal direction at 60° C. is 500 microns or less, where the thermal alignment tolerance at the 60° C. is the absolute value of [the smaller of LMax,S and LMax,PDB] x [60° C. - 23.5° C. (room temperature)] x [substrate coefficient of thermal expansion (CTES) - light guide plate coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEPDB)].
