ABSTRACT:
Light guide spacers for backlighting a reflective display. Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a reflective display assembly for an electronic device which is disposed above a backlight device. A light guide extends through the reflective display to conduct light from the backlight device, through the reflective display, and to a top surface of the reflective display. The display assembly may be used with a handheld computer system.
