A data processing apparatus communicates data bits on a predetermined number of sub-carrier signals of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbol. The data processing apparatus comprises a parity interleaver operable to perform parity interleaving on Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) encoded data bits obtained by performing LDPC encoding according to a parity check matrix of an LDPC code including a parity matrix corresponding to parity bits of the LDPC code, the parity matrix having a stepwise structure, so that a parity bit of the LDPC encoded data bits is interleaved to a different parity bit position. A mapping unit maps the parity interleaved bits onto data symbols corresponding to modulation symbols of a modulation scheme of the OFDM sub-carrier signals. A symbol interleaver is arranged in operation to read-into a symbol interleaver memory the predetermined number of data symbols for mapping onto the OFDM sub-carrier signals, and to read-out of the interleaver memory the data symbols for the OFDM sub-carriers to effect the mapping, the read-out being in a different order than the read-in, the order being determined from a set of addresses, with the effect that the data symbols are interleaved on the sub-carrier signals. The set of addresses are generated by an address generator which has been optimised to interleave the data symbols on to the sub-carrier signals of the OFDM carrier signals for a given operating mode of the OFDM system, such as a 32K operating mode for DVB-T2 or DVB-C2.

A polymer-dispersed liquid crystal based display is embedded inside a lightguide illuminator sheet which provides illumination of the display without the need for a backlight or frontlight. Light from one or more light sources is coupled into the lightguide sheet and is guided within a range of high angles of incidence within the sheet by total internal reflection. The guided light illuminating portions of the display which are in diffusing state is scattered such that some of the light is allowed to escape total internal reflection, providing visibility of the display. Guided light illuminating portions of the display which are in non-diffusing state remains guided within the lightguide illuminator sheet. Combining multiple lightguide embedded displays can be used to provide a three-dimensional display. When a low refractive index cladding is applied to the surfaces of the lightguide embedded display, the display is robust in a dirty environment, and / or can be laminated to adjacent lightguide embedded displays. The use of one or more coupled light sources, such as light emitting diodes, provides color by combining one or more colored light sources or by time-sequentially driving one or more colored light sources. The lightguide illuminator embedded display may further be used as a content dependent active backlight for an LCD display panel to provide improved dynamic contrast.
