An illumination assembly configured to emit diffuse light through an indicator is disclosed. The assembly comprises a substrate having an applique disposed thereon. The applique forms an opening configured to transmit light through the substrate. The assembly further comprises a light source in connection with a circuit and configured to emit light through the shape. A diffusing layer is applied to a surface of the assembly between the circuit and the substrate. The diffusing layer comprises a resin material configured to cure in response to exposure to ultraviolet light or heat. The diffusing layer further comprises a filler material comprising a plurality of beaded structures configured to diffuse light from the light source.

A lighting device including at least two LED light sources configured for individual activation; at least two light guides arranged adjacent to one another, each including an edge surface facing a respective one of the LED light sources, a back surface extending from the edge surface provided with a plurality of diffuser extractor elements, and a front surface extending from the edge surface and opposite the back surface; and opaque barrier walls provided between the at least two light guides and extending from the rear wall to the front wall, to mechanically and optically separate the light guides. The light guides are configured to receive light from the LED light sources, with the diffuser extractor elements arranged shaped redirect received light traveling within the light guide to be projected through the front surface.

An integrated lighting insert is provided for multi-function automotive vehicle lighting that has minimal space requirements and provides different lighting functions in a single device with an electronic control module that can easily interface with vehicle electronics. The insert a housing and a plurality of light transmission portions, a plurality of light sources integrated into the housing, each one configured for a different predetermined function associated with a particular use of a condition of or a state of the automobile. An electrical circuit is used along with a communications bus and individual controller circuits associated with the light sources fix controlling the light functions.

A dial plate is provided with a mark layer having translucency, the mark layer including numbers of linear grooves formed on a surface of the mark layer, and a reflective layer that is arranged on a back face side of the mark layer, and reflects light incident from the mark layer side. The reflective layer includes a light transmission area that allows the light emitted from a light source arranged on the back face side to transmit therethrough to a front face side, and displays a display design by the light transmitting through the light transmission area when the light source is turned on. In the reflective layer, at least the light transmission area is composed of pearl ink.

A display apparatus includes: a substrate having a first surface; a light source that is disposed to the first surface of the substrate; a display plate that is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the substrate; and a light block body that surrounds the light source between the substrate and the display plate. The light source includes a light source body that emits light, a light source base material that has a mount surface, the light source body being mounted to the mount surface, and a mold portion that transmits the light and covers a circumference of the light source body on the mount surface of the light source base material. The mount surface is positioned closer to the display plate than an end face of the light block body, the end face being adjacent to the substrate.

A light conductor device receives light from a light source. The light conductor includes a radial conductor including an annular body, a conductor base, and outer segments. The annular body extends in a circumferential direction. The conductor base extends from the annular body inward in a radial direction. The conductor base extends in the circumferential direction. Each of the outer segments extends from the annular body outward in the radial direction. The outer segments are arranged in the circumferential direction and distant from each other in the circumferential direction. The annular body is located between the conductor base and the outer segments in the radial direction to bridge the conductor base and the outer segments into a single piece.
