Rear Illuminated Panel |
| Abstract: |
A rear illuminated panel includes a base member having first and second
opposing sides and a pair of guide grooves formed on the first side of
the base member. The panel further includes a translucent thermoplastic
sheet of material having rubber channel strips on opposing longitudinal
sides of the sheet of material. The sheet of material is disposed within
the guide grooves of the base member such that channel strips prevent
vibration of the sheet of material within the guide grooves. The panel
still further includes an LED strip having a plurality of LEDs and
disposed within a cavity formed by the base member and the sheet of
material, wherein light from the LEDs illuminates the sheet of material.
The second opposing side of the base panel is adapted to be fastened to a
structure. Exemplary suitable structures include a locking rail and an
index light.
