Embodiments are directed to an electronic device having a hidden or concealable input region. In one aspect, an embodiment includes an enclosure having a wall that defines an input region having an array of microperforations. A light source may be positioned within a volume defined by the enclosure and configured to propagate light through the array of microperforations. A sensing element may be coupled with the wall and configured to detect input received within the input region. The array of microperforations are configured to be visually imperceptible when not illuminated by the light source. When illuminated by the light source, the array of microperforations may display a symbol.

An invisible, light-transmissive display system with a light resistant material is provided. Substantially invisible, tapered, light-transmissive holes are penetrated in a light transmissive pattern through at least a portion of the light resistant material using a laser beam having a focal width less than the smallest diameter of the tapered holes.

Disclosed is a light emitting panel with improved handling. The light emitting panel includes a fabric made by weaving natural or synthetic fibers, light emitting string parts consisting of a plurality of light emitting devices electrically connected in parallel or series through conductive threads fixed to the fabric, at least one light emitting grid part including an electrode unit connecting the plurality of light emitting string parts in parallel, and a power supply part applying power to the light emitting grid part. The light emitting panel provides an easily controllable illumination area and a uniform luminance. In addition, the light emitting panel is foldable or rollable, achieving improved storability, portability and mobility. Furthermore, the light emitting panel has improved handling even in moist environments such as snowy or rainy days when used outdoors.

An extruded post used to support a sign, mailbox or set of rails, or in a stand-alone mode, with an interior light source to illuminate characters cut out of the wall of the post or rail for identification of a property or to transmit a message. The light source is inserted into the interior of the post or rail. A translucent sheet is placed within the wall of the post or rail and in front of the illumination source. A reflective backing, with a locking aspect, is inserted into the post or rail to reflect light from the light source thru the translucent sheet and thru the cut out characters. Power for the illumination is provided by a solar charged battery placed in a cap on top of the post. A processing unit is placed in line between the power source and the illumination to generate light patterns and effects.

A molded component displays an optical image that is visible from a front by allowing light that is emitted from a light source that is disposed at a back to pass therethrough. The molded component includes a light-shielding resin member that has an optical transmission hole that has a shape depending on the optical image in a plan view, and a transparent resin member that is optically transparent and that is stacked on a surface of the light-shielding resin member that faces the front such that the transparent resin member covers at least the optical transmission hole. The transparent resin member includes a peripheral portion that has a constant thickness, and a thin portion that is disposed inside the peripheral portion and that is thinner than the peripheral portion.

An illuminated vehicle sign comprises a receptacle having an internal cavity with a light reflective internal surface. A cover over an end of the receptacle comprises one or more orifices opening into the internal cavity from an outside of the receptacle. The orifices are dimensioned and/or relatively arranged in accordance with one or more markings or alphanumeric characters. The orifices provide for ingress of air into the internal cavity from the outside of the receptacle and for emission of light from the internal cavity. A vent in the receptacle is positioned relative to the orifices to provide for egress of the air from the internal cavity. A light source is disposed within the receptacle to emit the light through the internal cavity and out of the orifices. An apertured screen is disposed inside of the internal cavity that is spaced apart from the cover.
