Patent Images
1. A computer system, comprising:
- a processor configured to generate light control signals; and
a light feature operatively coupled to the processor, the light feature comprising;
one or more light emitting diodes capable of emitting light in order to illuminate an illuminable housing of the computer system; and
a light driver disposed between the processor and at least one of the light emitting diodes, the light driver being configured to convert the light control signals into a stable continuous current for driving the light emitting diode, the magnitude of the current being based at least in part on the light control signal, the magnitude of the current being proportional to a light intensity of the light emitting diode.

14. A method of illuminating a housing, comprising:
-
generating a light control signal associated with a desired light intensity; converting the light control signal into a voltage representative of the desired light intensity; converting the voltage into a current representative of the desired light intensity, the current driving a light emitting diode so as to produce light; and directing the light from the light emitting diode through the housing such that an image is created at an outer surface of the housing. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
