Abstract:
1. An electronic system, comprising: a frame defining an internal space; electronic circuitry supported by the frame within the internal space, the electronic circuitry having multiple LEDs; and a front panel assembly which includes (i) a cover portion configured to separate an external space in front of the frame and the internal space defined by the frame, (ii) an attachment portion coupled to the cover portion, the attachment portion being configured to attach to the frame, and (iii) a reflective member coupled to the cover portion, the reflective member being configured to reflect light from the multiple LEDs simultaneously in a direction toward the external space; wherein the multiple LEDs of the electronic circuitry includes a row of LEDs, and wherein the reflective member of the front panel assembly includes an elongated section which reflects light from each LED of the row of LEDs concurrently in the direction toward the external space; and wherein the cover portion of the front panel assembly defines an air vent which extends horizontally across the cover portion to allow air to pass between the external space and the internal space, and wherein the reflective member of the front panel assembly is disposed horizontally along a bottom edge of the air vent defined by the cover portion.
