Computing housing light panel display

A computing housing assembly, comprising:

• a box-shaped enclosure defining a front opening and an internal volume configured to hold a plurality of internal components of a computing device therein, wherein the plurality of internal components include first and second sets of light emitting sources;
• a front lid removably coupled to the enclosure and covering the front opening to fully enclose the inner volume;
• a front panel having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a light panel display visible at the outer surface, wherein the inner surface is coupled to a front surface of the front lid and wherein the light panel display includes a static display portion, a first variable light display portion configured to be illuminated by the first set of light emitting sources and a separate second variable light display portion configured to be illuminated by the second set of light emitting sources;
• and
• a light guide coupled to and extending inward from a rear surface of the front lid, wherein the light guide is configured to guide light from the first set of light emitting sources within the internal volume to the front panel proximate the first variable light display portion.

A computing device configured to provide a light panel display at a front surface thereof, the computing device comprising:

• a plurality of internal components including one or more processors, a first set of light emitting diodes, and a second set of light emitting diodes;
• a box-shaped enclosure defining a front opening and an internal volume configured to hold the plurality of internal components therein;
• a front lid removably coupled to the enclosure and covering the front opening to fully enclose the inner volume;
• a front panel having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a light panel display visible at the outer surface, wherein the inner surface is adhered to a front surface of the front lid, wherein the light panel display includes a static display portion, a first variable light display portion configured to be illuminated by the first set of light emitting diodes and a separate second variable light display portion configured to be illuminated by the second set of light emitting diodes, wherein the front panel is a flat, thin, plate with its inner surface screen printed in multiple layers to form the static display portion, the first variable light display portion, and the second variable light display portion, wherein the first variable light display portion defines an illuminated light bar at a bottom region of the front panel that extends horizontally from one side of the front panel to the other side, and wherein the second variable light display portion defines a plurality of discrete light openings at a top region of the front panel with each discrete light opening corresponding to a different specific function of the computing device;
• a light guide coupled to and extending inward from a rear surface of the front lid, wherein the light guide is configured to guide light from the first set of light emitting diodes within the internal volume to the front panel proximate the first variable light display portion;
• and
• a light channel arrangement integrally formed in the front lid and extending inward from the rear surface of the front lid to the second set of light emitting diodes, wherein the light channel arrangement includes a separate hollow light channel for each of the second set of light emitting diodes with each individual hollow light channel being configured to convey light from one of the second set of light emitting diodes within the internal volume to one of the plurality of discrete light openings at the front panel.
