Abstract:
A capacitive touch switch is disclosed which includes a transparent insulating panel, a filtering layer having an opaque color, a transparent icon being defined in the filtering layer, a transparent substrate including a capacitive electrode, the transparent substrate being tinted to substantially match the opaque color of the filtering layer, and a light source configured to transmit light through the transparent substrate, the transparent icon, and the transparent insulating panel when energized. A user interface and a method of manufacturing a capacitive touch switch are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of manufacturing a capacitive touch switch, the method comprising:\n defining a transparent icon in a filtering layer; aligning the filtering layer with a transparent substrate that includes a capacitive electrode; positioning a printed circuit board between the filtering layer and the transparent substrate, the transparent substrate including a void; positioning the transparent substrate within the void adjacent to the filtering layer such that the filtering layer is positioned behind an insulating panel and the transparent substrate is positioned behind the filtering layer; providing a light source in optical communication with the transparent icon; and securing an opaque cover over the light source that is colored to substantially match an opaque color of the filtering layer.
