A lighting system for a hat includes a front housing containing lighting elements that mates with a back plate positioned on the inside of the hat. Driver circuitry controls operation of the LEDs for various lighting modes, and a cover for the front housing is translucent and designed in the shape of a recognizable logo or other design. Electric power comes from a battery located on the back plate, and is provided through the hate using prongs or projections that pass through the hat, from the back plate to a circuit connector in the front housing. The circuit connector is electrically coupled to circuitry on a circuit board in the front housing.

An industrial electronic apparatus includes a display panel that includes a design portion including a character or a graphic, and a light source provided behind the display panel. The display panel includes: a transparent plate having a back face located on the light source side and a front face located on a side opposite to the light source side; a light shielding portion that is located on the back face side of the transparent plate, covers a portion, of the back face, that does not correspond to the design portion, and includes a window that is formed at a portion, of the back face, that corresponds to the design portion, and a light diffusing portion that is located on the back face side of the transparent plate, and covers a portion, of the back face of the transparent plate, that corresponds to the design portion.

A carpet display system includes a plurality of carpet modules. Each of the plurality of carpet modules includes a translucent support panel, a carpet layer secured to the support panel, and a light-emitting element coupled to the support panel. The light-emitting element is configured to emit light through the support panel to provide lighting effects through the carpet layer.
