摘要: A composite laminate assembly for an electronic device provides integrated backlighting for one or more indicator shapes defined by the assembly. The assembly includes a substantially opaque cover member to obscure at least parts of the electronic device. Translucent indicator structures in the cover member define respective indicator shapes to allow backlighting to pass through the cover member. An optical matrix layer of an optically conductive material is attached to an inner face of the cover member, with a plurality of lighting devices embedded in the optical matrix layer and laterally offset from associated indicator structures. The plurality of lighting devices may be connected to an electric circuit carried on the inner face of the cover member.

摘要: An interface assembly includes a functional multilayer structure that includes a first substrate, a molded material layer on a first side of the first substrate, and a sensor arrangement including at least one sensor, wherein the sensor arrangement is arranged at least partly embedded into the molded material layer. The assembly further includes a movable member being movable relative to the functional multilayer structure, wherein the movable member includes at least one detection portion, and the sensor arrangement and the at least one detection portion are mutually arranged so that a position or a change of position of the movable member is detectable by the sensor arrangement based on a position or a change of position of the at least one detection portion relative to the sensor arrangement.

摘要: A system for manufacturing an electromechanical structure includes first, second, and third entities. The first entity produces conductors on a planar, flat film. The second entity attaches electronic elements at locations on the film in relation to a three-dimensional shape of the film. The electronic elements include a number of surface mount technology components. The locations of the electronic elements are selected to omit substantial deformation during subsequent forming of the film into the three-dimensional shape. The third entity forms the film into the three-dimensional shape when the electronic elements are supported on the film. The third entity includes one or more machines that are continuously roll-fed, automatically in-precut-pieces-fed, computer numerical control, thermoforming, vacuum former, pressure forming, or blow molding. The first, second, and third entities are arranged relative to one another to manufacture the electromechanical structure.

摘要: An electronic device includes a substrate film having a first side and a second side, and a number of light sources configured to emit light. A plastic lightguide layer is molded onto the first side of the substrate film. The plastic lightguide layer being of optically at least translucent material to transmit light. The device also includes a masking layer provided on the outer surface of the plastic lightguide layer. The masking layer defines a window for letting the light emitted by the embedded light sources to pass through the masking layer towards the environment.
