Abstract
An electronic device comprising a housing having a front and a back; a component embedded within the front or the back of the housing; and an array of light-generating sources (LGSs) deposited on a substrate disposed in the housing, the array of LGSs being disposed adjacent at least a portion of the component of the electronic device.
Claims13
An electronic device comprising:
- a housing having an external surface;
- an electronic component disposed with the housing such that the electronic component has a viewing surface at the external surface of the housing whereat illumination associated with activation of the electronic component is visible to a user, the electronic component being one of:
- a camera, a button, a fingerprint reader, a sensor, a microphone, a speaker, an input/output interface, a touch sensor, a touch-sensitive portion, or a touch-sensitive bezel;
- and
- an array of unpackaged light-emitting diodes (LEDs) deposited on a substrate disposed in the housing, the array of unpackaged LEDs on the substrate being in a linear alignment with, and within a footprint of, the viewing surface of the electronic component so as to illuminate the viewing surface directly upon actuation of the array of unpackaged LEDs,
- wherein the linear alignment between the array of unpackaged LEDs and the viewing surface is free of opaque structures.
3 more elements
A device comprising:
- a housing including a bezel;
- an array of unpackaged light-emitting diodes (LEDs) deposited on a substrate disposed with the housing to illuminate a viewing surface of the bezel upon activation of the array of unpackaged LEDs, the array of unpackaged LEDs and the substrate having a combined profile height of less than 0.25 millimeters;
- one or more processors;
- and
- computer-readable media having stored thereon computer-readable instructions, which cause the one or more processors to activate the array of unpackaged LEDs, wherein based at least in part on the activation, at least a portion of the unpackaged LEDs of the array of unpackaged LEDs are positioned to illuminate the viewing surface of the bezel.
