1. An electromagnetic radiation assembly, comprising:
- a reflector having distinct first and second surfaces, and first and second portions;
a first electromagnetic radiation emitter positioned adjacent to the first surface, and which, when energized, emits visibly discernible electromagnetic radiation which is reflected by the first portion of the reflector so as to be visible at locations forward of the first surface; and
a second electromagnetic radiation emitter positioned adjacent to the second surface of the reflector, and which, when energized, emits visibly discernible electromagnetic radiation which is reflected by the second portion of the reflector so as to be visible at locations forward of the first surface.

11. An electromagnetic radiation assembly, comprising:
-
a first supporting substrate having distinct first and second surfaces, and which defines, at least in part, an aperture which permits visibly discernible electromagnetic radiation to pass therethrough;
a first electromagnetic radiation emitter positioned on the second surface of the first supporting substrate, and near the aperture;
a reflector having a first and second portion, and wherein the first portion is oriented in reflecting relation relative to the first electromagnetic radiation emitter, and which reflects, at least in part, electromagnetic radiation which is emitted by first electromagnetic radiation emitter through the aperture such that the emitted electromagnetic radiation may be detected at locations forward of the first surface of the first supporting substrate;
a second electromagnetic radiation emitter positioned in spaced relation relative to the first supporting substrate, and wherein the reflector is positioned therebetween the second electromagnetic radiation emitter, and the first supporting substrate, and wherein the second portion of the reflector reflects, at least in part, electromagnetic radiation which is emitted by the second electromagnetic radiation emitter through the aperture such that the emitted electromagnetic radiation may be detected at locations forward of the first supporting substrate. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 19)

20. An electromagnetic radiation assembly, comprising:
-
a first supporting substrate having first and second surfaces, and which defines, at least in part, an aperture which passes visibly discernible light therethrough;
a first electromagnetic radiation emitter borne by the second surface, and which, when energized, emits visibly discernible light;
a reflector having a first portion which defines, at least in part, a reflector pocket which is disposed in substantially covering, eccentric reflecting relation relative to the first electromagnetic radiation emitter, and a second portion, and wherein the visibly discernible light emitted by the first electromagnetic radiation emitter is reflected, at least in part, by the reflector pocket, and subsequently passes through the aperture of the first supporting substrate such that it can be seen from a location forward of the first surface of the first supporting substrate;
a second substrate positioned in spaced relation relative to the reflector, and wherein the reflector is positioned therebetween the first and second supporting substrates; and
a second electromagnetic radiation emitter borne by the second substrate, and which, when energized, emits visibly discernible light which is reflected by the second portion of the reflector, and which passes through the aperture of the first supporting substrate such that it can be seen from a location forward of the first surface of the first supporting substrate. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)

25. An electromagnetic radiation assembly, comprising:
-
a first supporting substrate having first and second surfaces, and which further has a region through which an electromagnetic radiation signal may pass;
a first plurality of electromagnetic radiation emitters borne by the second surface, and positioned adjacent to the region through which an electromagnetic radiation signal may pass, and wherein the first plurality of electromagnetic radiation emitters, when energized, emits electromagnetic radiation which forms a first electromagnetic radiation signal;
a reflector having a plurality of reflector pockets which are individually positioned in covering, eccentric reflecting relation relative to each of the first plurality of electromagnetic radiation emitters, and wherein the reflector further includes a region thorough which a second electromagnetic radiation signal may pass, and wherein the first electromagnetic radiation signal generated by the first plurality of electromagnetic radiation emitters is reflected by the respective reflector pockets in a direction so as to substantially pass through the region in the first supporting substrate which passes the first electromagnetic radiation signal;
a second supporting substrate having first and second surfaces, and which is positioned in spaced relation relative to the reflector, and wherein the reflector is positioned therebetween the first and second supporting surfaces; and
a second plurality of electromagnetic radiation emitters borne by the second supporting substrate and which, when energized, emits electromagnetic radiation which forms a second electromagnetic radiation signal, and wherein the second electromagnetic radiation signal passes through both the region of the reflector which passes the second electromagnetic radiation signal, and the region of the first supporting substrate which permits the passage of the first electromagnetic radiation signal. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)
