Integrated light pipe for a shielded housing
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An integrated light pipe in a shielded housing, comprising:
- a substantially clear housing, a portion of which is arranged and constructed to form the integrated light pipe;
plating, selectively applied to the substantially clear housing, to provide for effective electromagnetic interference shielding and to allow for sufficient light into the integrated light pipe; and
a conductive adhesive about the periphery of a bottom housing surface for mounting the housing on a matching grounded surface of a substrate.

16. A method for forming an integrated light pipe in a shielded housing for an electronic device comprising the steps of:
-
providing a substantially clear housing having an integrated light pipe portion; and selectively applying plating on portions of the substantially clear housing to provide for effective electromagnetic interference shielding and to allow for sufficient light into the integrated light pipe portion; applying a conductive adhesive about the periphery of a bottom housing surface for mounting the housing on a matching grounded surface of a substrate. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
