Patent Application
20190339842
The subject matter herein generally relates to electronic devices, and more particularly to an icon display structure of an electronic device.
Generally, electronic devices have buttons to initiate various functions of the electronic devises. For example, pressing a power button of the electronic device initiates turning on or turning off the electronic device. A location of the button on the electronic device may be indicated by an icon on the electronic device. However, sometimes the icons are not conveniently located for visibility.
Implementations of the present disclosure will now be described, by way of embodiments, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. Additionally, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features. The description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series and the like.

In use, the silkscreen icon 14 appears on a front surface of the display panel 10. When the electronic device A is not powered on, a user is able to conveniently find the power button symbol of the silkscreen icon 14 to turn on the electronic device A. In one embodiment, the display panel 10 is an acrylic light board. The silkscreen icon 14 is screen printed with translucent silver paint. The background layer 121 is screen printed with a display paint. The base layer 123 is screen printed with a masking paint. In one embodiment, a color of the display paint is pearl white, and a color of the masking paint is black or a dark-colored paint.

Referring to
The area of the diffusion sheet 20 outside of the light transmission zone 22 is a non-transparent zone. A plurality of light transmission icons 24 are located in the non-transparent zone. In one embodiment, the plurality of light transmission icons 24 include a fan icon and a detection icon. The light transmission icons 24 are aligned with the translucent display zone 103 of the display panel 10 and are displayed on the display panel 10 when the light source 30 emits light to the diffusion sheet 20. Thus, when the light source 30 emits light, the silkscreen icon 14 is lit up and the plurality of light transmission icons 24 are displayed on the display panel 10. Thus, a user can conveniently see the silkscreen icon 14 and the plurality of light transmission icons 24 to operate the electronic device A.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including, the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims.
