US Patent 7542302 Minimizing thickness of deadfronted display assemblies

An apparatus is provided and includes a label layer, disposed in a user visible interface of a front bezel, in which an icon is etched, a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB), abutting a rear surface of the label layer and being configured to form a light source housing that positionally corresponds to that of the icon, a light source assembly, including a substrate, which is fixedly recessed in a rear portion of the light source housing, and a light emitting portion, supported by the substrate, from which light is emitted toward at least the icon, and solder plating to reflect light emitted by the light source away from the preselected icon toward the preselected icon.
