`Exemplary claim chart for
`U.S. Pat. No. 7,384,177
`
`The feature/functionality primarily relied upon for this chart is LCD navigation/entertainment display units found in
`Toyota and Lexus automobiles, including, for example, the Toyota 86140-06010 navigation system display.
`
`On present information and belief, IDT understands that Toyota currently offers multiple automobile models having
`LCD navigation/entertainment display that are identical or substantially the same, at least with respect to the features
`relating to the elements of the asserted claims of the patent. The Accused Instrumentalities are identified by model in
`Exhibit A and further include any other Toyota and Lexus vehicles having LCD displays that operate identically or
`substantially in the same manner with respect to the features relating to the elements of the asserted claims.
`
`To the extent discovery later shows that the functionality of any accused product differs, at least with respect to the
`elements of the asserted claims, IDT reserves the right to amend or further supplement these contentions with
`additional information learned in the course of discovery or further investigation.

`
`Asserted Claims:
`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.
`
`
`
`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.
`
`
`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.

`
`Asserted Claims:
`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.
`19. The assembly of claim 15 wherein at least some of the light sources are
`LEDs.
`22. The assembly of claim 15 wherein the sheet, film or substrate is comprised of
`multiple layers.
