<p>A pane (10), such as a component carrier or substrate (12), is provided with one or more penetrations (18). A light source (34) associated with a surface (14) of the panel and the corresponding end of each penetration provides light to the interior of the penetration, which guides the light to the other end (22) of the penetration and corresponding surface (16) of the panel. The penetration can be coated with a reflective material (26) to improve its performance as a light guide. Alternatively or additionally, the penetration can be filled with a refractive material (28). A diffuser (30) can be provided to diffuse light exiting the penetration (18). The light sources (34) provides light to selected penetrations (18) on demand such that the penetrations function as displays or elements of a display.</p> |
