Light emitting assemblies include a tray that forms a cavity or recess containing one or more light sources. A sheet, film or substrate is positioned over the cavity or recess for controlling the light emitted from the assembly. The tray acts as a back, side or edge reflector, and has one or more secondary reflective or refractive surfaces.

What is claimed is: 1. A light emitting assembly comprising a tray having a back wall and continuous side walls that form a hollow cavity or recess completely surrounded by the side walls, at least one light source located, mounted or positioned in the cavity or recess, and at least one sheet, film or substrate overlying the assembly for controlling the light emitted from the assembly to fit a particular application, wherein the tray acts as at least one of a back, side edge, and end edge reflector and has one or more secondary flat, angled, faceted or curved reflective or refractive surfaces to redirect at least a portion of the light emitted by the light source in a predetermined manner within the cavity or recess. 2. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the refractive or reflective surfaces are flat, planar or curved. 3. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the refractive or reflective surfaces are prismatic or lenticular surfaces. 4. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the refractive or reflective surfaces are quite small compared to the length and width of the tray. 5. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the refractive or reflective surfaces are in close proximity to and around and behind the light source. 6. The assembly of claim 1 wherein there are at least two light sources located, mounted or positioned in the cavity or recess. 7. The assembly of claim 6 wherein each light source is positioned in close proximity to a group of the refractive or reflective surfaces. 8. The assembly of claim 6 wherein the at least two light sources are different color LEDs. 9. The assembly of claim 6 wherein a portion of the light emitted from the light sources mixes in the cavity or recess. 10. The assembly of claim 9 wherein the sheet, film or substrate provides additional light mixing. 11. The assembly of claim 6 wherein the reflective or refractive surfaces promote mixing of the light from two or more light sources. 12. The assembly of claim 6 wherein there is at least one refractive or reflective surface corresponding to each light source. 13. The assembly of claim 1 wherein there is at least one sheet, film or substrate that is a diffuser, colored film or filter, label, transparent or semi-transparent overlay, label or display, reflector, polarizer or reflective polarizer. 14. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the at least one sheet, film or substrate has deformities for controlling the light output ray angle distribution to fit a particular application. 15. A light emitting assembly comprising a tray having a back wall and continuous side walls that form a hollow cavity or recess completely surrounded by the side walls, at least two light sources located, mounted or positioned in the cavity or recess, and at least one sheet, film or substrate overlying the assembly for controlling the light emitted from the assembly to fit a particular application, wherein the tray acts as at least one of a back, side edge and end edge reflector and has at least one secondary flat, angled, faceted or curved reflective or refractive surface to facilitate better mixing of light rays within the cavity or recess to produce a desired light output color or uniformity. 16. The assembly of claim 15 wherein at least some of the light sources are different colored light sources. 17. The assembly of claim 16 wherein the secondary reflective or refractive surface promotes mixing of different color light to make white light. 18. The assembly of claim 15 wherein multiple light sources contain at least one light source of each of the colors red, green and blue. 19. The assembly of claim 15 wherein at least some of the light sources are LEDs. 20. The assembly of claim 19 wherein at least some of the LEDs have multiple chips of different colors. 21. The assembly of claim 15 wherein there is at least one sheet, film or substrate that is a diffuser, colored film or filter, label, transparent or semi-transparent overlay, reflector, polarizer or reflective polarizer. 22. The assembly of claim 15 wherein the sheet, film or substrate is comprised of multiple layers. 23. The assembly of claim 15 wherein there is at least one sheet, film or substrate that has deformities on at least one surface to control the light output ray angle distribution to fit a particular application. 24. The assembly of claim 23 wherein the deformities are depressions or raised surfaces. 25. The assembly of claim 23 wherein the deformities are prismatic or lenticular. 26. The assembly of claim 23 wherein the deformities vary or are random. 27. The assembly of claim 23 wherein at least some of the deformities are paints, inks or coatings.
