Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an activity display panel for a data processor or the like showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view thereof, the right side being identical;

FIG. 3 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 4 is an enlarged front elevational view thereof with the activity display fully illuminated;

FIG. 5 is a front perspective view of a second embodiment of our design;

FIG. 6 is an enlarged front elevational view thereof; and

FIG. 7 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the upper portion of the panel appearing in both the first and the second embodiment, thus showing representative operation.

The front cover is translucent.
