Abstract
A first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element spaced apart from the first light-emitting element. An optical element is opposite to and between the first and the second light-emitting elements. The optical element is configured to at least one of reflect or diffuse light emitted by the first and the second light-emitting elements.
Claims20
An instrument cluster assembly comprising:
- a first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element spaced apart from the first light-emitting element;
- and
- an optical element opposite to and between the first and the second light-emitting elements, the optical element is configured to at least one of reflect or diffuse light emitted by the first and the second light-emitting elements.
An instrument cluster assembly comprising:
- a circuit board including a first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element mounted thereto;
- and
- an optical layer including an optical element extending towards the circuit board, a distal-most portion of the optical element is closest to the circuit board and is opposite to a portion of the circuit board between the first and the second light-emitting elements, the optical element is configured to at least one of reflect or diffuse light.
An instrument cluster assembly comprising:
- a circuit board including a first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element mounted thereto;
- and
- an optical layer including an elongated optical element extending in a first direction along a longitudinal axis and extending in a second direction generally perpendicular to the first direction to a distal-most portion of the elongated optical element that is opposite to an area of the circuit board between the first and the second light-emitting elements, the optical element is configured to at least one of reflect or diffuse light emitted by the first and the second light-emitting elements.
