    摘要: A light output arrangement is provided and may be used as a backlight for a display. The arrangement comprises a bendable light-outputting layer (51), for example, comprising a light-guide, and a bendable light-directing layer (50), for example, comprising a lens array. The layers (50, 51) are fixed together so as to prevent relative lateral movement at the mid-points but otherwise are constrained to bend in conformance with each other. The light-directing layer comprises a plurality of structures, such as lenses (81), which cooperate with, for example, light extraction features (80) in the light guide (51) so as to direct light output from the light-directing layer (50) in substantially the same direction (82, 83) irrespective of bending of the layers (50, 51).
