Abstract:
A capacitive touch switch for an operating device of an electronic domestic appliance has an at least partly translucent cover plate with a user side facing a user, a carrier plate disposed on a side of the cover plate facing away from the user side at a distance therefrom, and a light source mounted on the carrier plate. A sensor plate is disposed between the cover plate and the carrier plate and has an at least partly translucent substrate and a sensor layer of an electrically conductive material. The sensor layer has a sensor region of the electrically conductive material forming a sensor electrode and a symbol region without the electrically conductive material forming a symbol that can be backlit by the light source. A configuration of a plurality of capacitive touch switches and an operating device, are also provided.

Claim (Index 9):
The capacitive touch switch according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n said carrier plate has a side facing said cover plate; and a frame element has an opaque separating region disposed on said side of said carrier plate facing said cover plate, said opaque separating region surrounding said light source circumferentially on said carrier plate.
