Abstract
Gaming devices, gaming systems, gaming device display systems and methods for providing enhanced lighting features in gaming devices and systems are provided. In one example, a front or player-facing flexible LED light strip is positioned to follow a curved contour portion of a video display device. A diffuser may be positioned to cover the flexible LED light strip. The flexible LED light strip may be positioned on a display frame attached to the video display device and the display frame may include a curved contour portion that conforms to the curved contour portion of the display device.
Claims19
A gaming device display system comprising:
- a video display device including a curved contour portion;
- a flexible light-emitting diode light strip arranged in the gaming device display system to follow the curved contour portion of the video display device, the flexible light-emitting diode light strip including:
- a flexible substrate,
- a light-emitting diode coupled to the flexible substrate, and
- a plurality of electrical contacts positioned on the flexible substrate, the plurality of electrical contacts configured to communicate electrically with the light-emitting diode via the flexible substrate;
- and
- an electrical cable including:
- a plurality of electrical lines, each of the plurality of electrical lines including an electrical terminal contacting a respective one of the plurality of electrical contacts of the flexible light-emitting diode light strip, and
- an electrical cable harness covering at least a portion of the plurality of electrical lines;
- and
- one of:
- (i) a sealant sealing the plurality of electrical contacts and the electrical terminals to reduce a risk of static discharge, or (ii) a cover positioned substantially on or around the plurality of electrical contacts and the electrical terminals to reduce a risk of static discharge.
