What is claimed is: 1. A light emitting assembly comprising at least a light emitting panel member having a light emitting surface, at least one light source, at least one film, sheet, plate or substrate positioned near the light emitting surface through which light from the panel member is emitted, and an air gap between the film, sheet, plate or substrate and the panel member, wherein at least one surface of the film, sheet, plate or substrate has one or more reflective or refractive surfaces, and at least one of the reflective or refractive surfaces has well defined optical elements or deformities for controlling the emitted light such that at least some of the light is redirected to pass through a liquid crystal display with low loss. 2. The assembly of claim 1 wherein at least some of the reflective surfaces or deformities have a reflective material or coating. 3. The assembly of claim 1 wherein at least some of the reflective or refractive surfaces are shaped or patterned to reduce moiri챕 or other interference effects. 4. The assembly of claim 1 wherein light from at least two light sources partially mixes in at least a portion of the light emitting assembly. 5. The assembly of claim 4 wherein the portion of the light emitting assembly in which the light partially mixes is the panel member. 6. The assembly of claim 4 wherein the portion of the light emitting assembly in which the light partially mixes is the air gap. 7. The assembly of claim 4 wherein two or more of the light sources are different colored light sources. 8. The assembly of claim 4 wherein two or more of the light sources are different colored LEDs. 9. The assembly of claim 1 wherein at least one light source is a single LED with multicolored chips. 10. The assembly of claim 1 further comprising a tray that holds or positions the film, sheet, plate or substrate relative to one or more light sources. 11. The assembly of claim 1 wherein an additional film, sheet, plate or substrate is positioned near the one film, sheet, plate or substrate to redirect at least a portion of the emitted light to produce a desired light output distribution or effect. 12. The assembly of claim 11 wherein there is an additional air gap between the one film, sheet, plate or substrate and the additional film, sheet, plate or substrate. 13. The assembly of claim 11 wherein the additional film, sheet, plate or substrate has prismatic or lenticular surfaces. 14. The assembly of claim 11 wherein the additional film sheet, plate or substrate has optical elements that are quite small relative to the length and width of the additional film, sheet, plate or substrate. 15. The assembly of claim 11 wherein the additional film, sheet, plate or substrate is a diffuser or brightness enhancement film. 16. A light emitting assembly comprising at least a tray that forms a cavity or recess, at least one light source positioned within the cavity or recess, at least one film, sheet, plate or substrate positioned over the cavity or recess through which light from the light source is emitted, wherein at least one surface of the film, sheet, plate or substrate has one or more reflective or refractive surfaces, and at least one of the reflective or refractive surfaces has well defined optical elements or deformities for controlling the emitted light such that at least some of the light is redirected to pass through a liquid crystal display with low loss. 17. The assembly of claim 16 wherein the tray acts as a back reflector, an end edge reflector and/or a side edge reflector. 18. The assembly of claim 16 wherein light from at least two light sources partially mixes in at least a portion of the light emitting assembly. 19. The assembly of claim 18 wherein two or more of the light sources are different colored light sources. 20. The assembly of claim 18 wherein two or more of the light sources are different colored LEDs. 21. The assembly of claim 16 wherein at least one light source is a single LED with multicolored chips. 22. The assembly of claim 16 wherein the tray holds or positions the one film, sheet, plate or substrate relative to the one or more light sources. 23. The assembly of claim 16 wherein an additional transparent film, sheet, plate or substrate is positioned near the one film, sheet, plate or substrate to redirect at least a portion of the emitted light to produce a desired light output distribution or effect. 24. The assembly of claim 23 wherein there is an air gap between the one film, sheet, plate or substrate and the additional film, sheet, plate or substrate. 25. The assembly of claim 23 wherein the additional film, sheet, plate or substrate has prismatic or lenticular surfaces. 26. The assembly of claim 23 wherein the additional film, sheet, plate or substrate has optical elements that are quite small relative to the length and width of the additional film, sheet, plate or substrate. 27. The assembly of claim 23 wherein the additional film, sheet, plate or substrate is a diffuser or brightness enhancement film. 28. A light emitting assembly comprising at least one light source and at least one transparent film, sheet, plate or substrate having top and bottom surfaces, a plurality of optical elements or deformities of well defined shape on or in the top and bottom surfaces, at least some of the optical elements or deformities on or in at least one of the top and bottom surfaces having one or more reflective or refractive surfaces for controlling the emitted light such that at least some of the light is redirected to pass through a liquid crystal display with low loss. 29. The assembly of claim 28 wherein the optical elements or deformities on or in the top surface of the film, sheet, plate or substrate are different than the optical elements or deformities on or in the bottom surface. 30. The assembly of claim 28 wherein at least some of the optical elements or deformities are multiple layers or vary in index of refraction. 31.
