  • Patent number: 7617857
    Abstract: An illuminated blind assembly having either horizontally oriented slats or vertically oriented slats. The slats have structure that allows them to be illuminated. The slats can be A.C. or D.C. powered. The window blind assembly may have a housing containing rechargeable batteries. These batteries can be charged by photovoltaic solar cells that are positioned on the top surfaces of the slats. The window blind assembly can have a tilt/raise/lower pulley system structure and electrical servos in a housing extending across the top of the window blind assembly. An infrared remote sensor can be located in the front of the housing for controlling the electric servos and the switch for lighting up the slats.
