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 1):
A multilayer assembly for an electronic device comprises:\n a flexible substrate film configured to accommodate electronics on at least first side thereof, said film having the first side and a second side, conductive traces printed by means of printed electronics technology on the first side of the substrate film, light sources provided on the first side of the substrate film and configured to emit light of predetermined frequency or frequency band, including or substantially limiting to visible light, a molded plastic lightguide layer provided onto the first side of the substrate film and at least partially embedding the light sources, the plastic lightguide layer being of optically at least one of translucent or at least one substantially transparent, material having regard to the predetermined frequency or band, wherein 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 plastic lightguide layer via an outer surface thereof substantially opposite to the embedded light sources, and a masking layer provided on the outer surface of the plastic 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 plastic 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 (LOS) path at least within a selected viewing angle from outside the assembly, including zero angle from the surface normal of the masking layer, to the light sources and optionally further electronics through the window.
