摘要 |
The present invention relates to a button carrier and display backlight (5) that may be used in an electronic device such as a motor vehicle cassette radio unit. The carrier (5) comprises a button portion (4,6) and a display portion (2) integrally molded in a substantially uniform translucent plastics material. The button portion (4,6) has at least one button backlight arranged to shine through the translucent material, preferably through integrally moulded buttons (30-36). The display portion (2) has at least one backlight arranged to illuminate a display backlight area (8) by light surface-scattered from the area (8) to provide a diffuse back illumination for a display. The button portion (4,6) may have an opaque surface coating over part of the translucent material, so that the button portion (4,6) is not backlit through the coated part.
