Abstract:
An electronic device includes a substrate film having a first side and a second side, and a number of light sources configured to emit light. A plastic lightguide layer is molded onto the first side of the substrate film. The plastic lightguide layer being of optically at least translucent material to transmit light. The device also includes a masking layer provided on the outer surface of the plastic lightguide layer. The masking layer defines a window for letting the light emitted by the embedded light sources to pass through the masking layer towards the environment.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of establishing a multilayer assembly for an electronic device comprising;\n obtaining a preferably flexible substrate film configured to accommodate electronics on at least a first side thereof, said film having the first side and a second side, printing, by means of printed electronics technology, a number of conductive traces on the first side of the substrate film, providing a number of light sources on the first side of the substrate film, said light sources being configured to emit light of predetermined frequency or frequency band, molding a plastic lightguide layer onto the first side of the substrate and thereby at least partially embedding the light sources, the plastic lightguide layer being of optically at least translucent material having regard to the predetermined frequency or band of light, whereupon the plastic lightguide layer is configured to transmit light emitted by the embedded light sources so that the transmitted light propagates within the lightguide layer and is outcoupled from the lightguide layer via an outer surface thereof substantially opposite to the embedded light sources, and providing a masking layer on the outer surface of the lightguide layer containing substantially opaque material to block external view of at least some internals of the multilayer structure including the light sources, wherein the masking layer defines a window for letting the light emitted by the embedded light sources and propagated within the lightguide layer to pass through the masking layer towards the environment, the light sources, masking layer and related window being mutually configured such that there is substantially no direct line-of-sight path at least within a selected viewing angle from outside the assembly to the light sources and optionally further electronics through the window.
