Abstract
A light diffusion mechanism is disclosed. The light diffusion mechanism includes a container that defines a receptacle or chamber in which light from a light source, such as an LED, can be reflected. The light source is located proximate to the chamber so that its emitted light enters the chamber. The light diffusion mechanism includes a cover with a light emitting portion which is aligned with the container of the base. Light from the light source passes through the light emitting portion of the cover which diffuses the light. The light emitting portion includes one or more textured surfaces through which light passes. In one embodiment, a textured surface includes several grooves formed therein that define ridges.
Claims20
A light diffusion chamber, comprising:
- a chamber housing including a side wall with an upper end and a lower end, a bottom wall coupled to the lower end, a first opening formed in the side wall, a second opening proximate to the upper end of the side wall, and a sleeve coupled to the side wall, the sleeve defining a passageway in communication with an interior of the chamber housing via the first opening;
- a light source proximate to the first opening, the chamber housing receiving light from the light source;
- and
- a diffusion panel covering the second opening.
An electronic device for use by a user, comprising:
- a device housing including a device housing body defining a body opening;
- an electronic system coupled to the device housing;
- and
- a light diffusion chamber disposed in the device housing, the light diffusion chamber including:
- a chamber housing with a side wall, a bottom wall coupled to a bottom end of the side wall, a first opening formed in the side wall, a second opening proximate to an upper end of the side wall, and a sleeve coupled to the side wall;
- a light source operable to send light through the first opening into the chamber housing, the light source being connected to the electronic system;
- and
- a diffusion panel covering the second opening.
A light diffusion chamber, comprising:
- a housing with a side wall with opposite upper and lower ends, a bottom wall coupled to the lower end, a first opening formed in the side wall, a second opening located proximate to the upper end of the side wall, and a mounting structure coupled to the side wall, the mounting structure being in communication with the first opening and an interior of the housing;
- a light source coupled to the mounting structure and located proximate to the first opening, the housing receiving light from the light source;
- and
- a diffusion panel covering the second opening.
