    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: A method for manufacturing an integrated multilayer structure includes obtaining a substrate film having first and second sides, providing at least on the first side one or more first functional features, arranging at least one layer upon at least the first side; removing, at least a portion of the substrate film so that space is released in the structure wherein a detachment-enhancing feature provided to the substrate film is configured to facilitate the removal of the at least a portion of the substrate film such that the adjacent remaining film material, if any, the arranged layer and the one or more first functional features are preserved and preferably remain substantially intact; and providing at least one second functional feature into the space released for use so that the at least one second functional feature operatively connects with at least one of the one or more first functional features.
