An illumination structure for an electronic device is described. The electronic device includes a housing mounted on a printed circuit board. The housing has a plurality of light pipes and at least one separator disposed therein. The at least one separator is positioned between adjacent light pipes of the plurality of light pipes.

A hybrid photoluminescent display consumes little electrical power and provides for light emission/color in a desired color. The display includes a housing having openings forming a desired legend. White LEDs internal to the housing provide light for energizing photoluminescent material. A legend panel housed within the housing defines openings corresponding to the legend. Photoluminescent material is disposed within the openings of the legend panel. The photoluminescent material is selected to be energizable by light from the white light source, and to emit light primarily in a selected wavelength range corresponding to a desired legend color. A color is filter disposed adjacent the photoluminescent material on a side of the legend panel opposite the light source. The color filter is selected to selectively transmit substantially all light in the selected wavelength range, and to selectively not transmit substantially all light outside the selected wavelength range.

The present disclosure is directed to an illuminated emblem assembly coupled to a steering wheel assembly and a method of assembling the same. The illuminated emblem assembly includes a conductive plate having a generally U-shape and formed from an electrically conductive material, a light source coupled to a PCB which is coupled to the conductive plate such that an electrical signal is provided to the light source from the vehicle control system via the PCB. The emblem assembly includes a base disposed on a top surface of the conductive plate also having a generally U-shape where the base includes an opening adjacent the light source for directing light emitted from the light source towards a U-shaped volume defined by a top surface of the base. Light is transmitted from the light source towards the user through an outer cap being disposed over the base.

The invention relates to a charging station, in particular for electric vehicles, whereby the charging station has a viewing region, which is configured to receive at least one printed product in such a way that a user of the charging station can view the at least one printed product from outside the charging station.

One embodiment provides an illuminated address sign that includes a frame with an open front side and an open rear side. The open front side interchangeably receives a first plaque, and the open rear side interchangeably receives a second plaque. Multiple first attachment points are configured on the open rear side of the frame. The multiple first attachment points connect with a bracket for mounting the illuminated address sign to a first surface. A control unit is connected to the frame and a light source. A light sensor is connected to the frame and the control unit.

An instrument cluster, in particular for a vehicle, has a dial with a plurality of graphic areas, which are backlit by a device provided with at least one light source, with a front light-guiding element having a front face at least partially covered by a back surface of the dial, and with a rear light-guiding element; the latter has a receiving portion facing said light source and a transmitting portion, which transmits and guides the light received by the receiving portion and is spaced apart from and faces a rear face of the front light-guiding element; the rear face of the front light-guiding element has an optical compensation system, having curved convex or curved concave lens surfaces, for varying the intensity of the light transmitted from said transmission portion to the different graphic areas.

A low-profile light tile assembly that employs a self-adhesive, removable/exchangeable photograph or artwork overlay. The light tile provides frameless edge-to-edge illumination that may be illuminated by a single LED light strip. The light tile may hang on a wall, or used as a countertop display. When mounted on a wall, the assembly uses a male/female magnet-based mating system that offers dial-in leveling. The light tile image also looks vibrant and beautiful when the light tile is not illuminated. The light tile may be programmed or turned on or off via a wireless remote control. An ultra-thin rechargeable battery maintains the tiles low-profile. When used as a countertop display, the light tile may use a USB cord to plug into a wall socket. The light tile assembly may come in a kit that includes a folding countertop display stand, a battery charging station, and an optional front-surface-mounting picture frame.

A display apparatus includes: a substrate; a strip-like light source placed at ends in a width direction of the substrate; and a light guide plate mounted in front of the substrate. A display medium is disposed in front of the light guide plate. The substrate includes a main body and a pair of edge plates that cover the front surface of both ends in the width direction. Light source mounts formed separately to the substrate and the edge plates have a strip-like light source mounted thereupon and are fixed inside the insertion channels. The light guide plate is mounted with both ends inserted inside the insertion channels so that light from the strip-like light source is incident from end surfaces of the light guide plate.

The present disclosure discloses a signboard assembly and a fully transparent solar LED luminous signboard. The signboard assembly comprises: a U-shaped sealing ring, a patterned reflective film, a light-diffusing plate, a light-guiding plate, an LED light bar, a white reflective film, a back plate, a signboard bracket, and a control box. The full-transparent solar LED luminous signboard includes a solar power supply assembly and the signboard assembly as described above. The present invention adopts side light emitting principle, wherein light is guided through the light-guiding plate, is reflected by the reflective film, and is homogenized by the light-diffusing plate, so that the whole signboard is finally illuminated uniformly. The problem that the traffic sign is difficult to identify is solved.

An illuminable sign includes comprising a translucent panel having an engraved message and an electrically powered light source oriented to direct light into an edge of the translucent panel. A remote may be used to transmit a wireless signal to the illuminable sign when a button on the remote is pressed by a user. The illuminable sign includes a wireless receiver that receives the wireless signal and turns the light source on and off in response to the wireless signal. Accordingly, the user may selectively illuminate the sign and express the message to another person, such as a driver in an adjacent automobile. The illuminable sign may be securable to the inside of an automobile window using suction cups in a manner that the engraved message is directed to be viewed through the window.
