  • Illumination system for a light emitting panel
    Patent number: 5434755
    Abstract: A system for illuminating a light emitting panel for backlighting a visual display positions the panel behind the visual display at a front wall of a processor cabinet. The light emitting panel has at least one layer of optical fibers which extend from the panel and are bundled and terminated in one or more receptors which are mounted in the cabinet remote from the panel and visual display. A cover is hinged to the cabinet and mounts a light source in operative alignment with the receptors when the cover is closed to illuminate the panel and display. The cover can be swung open to position the light source in a maintenance position in which light bulbs of the source can be removed and replaced.
