Aerosol Generation Device with Non-Visible Illumination Unit

Abstract

An aerosol generation device has a partially opaque portion for rendering an illumination unit non-visible when the illumination unit is not emitting light. An illumination unit for an aerosol generation device includes a plurality of light sources, wherein each of the light sources is configured to operate in a first power operation mode illuminating the light source at a first brightness level, and a second power operation mode for illuminating the light source at a second brightness level different from the first brightness level, wherein one or more light sources of the plurality of light sources form a contiguous illumination region when the one or more of the plurality of light source are emitting light, and wherein the illumination region is configured to provide to a user visual feedback that indicates a state of the aerosol generation device or a consumable used with the aerosol generation device.
