CONTEXTUAL SYSTEMS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18897108 titled 'CONTEXTUAL SYSTEMS

Original Abstract Submitted

A system may include a display having a housing, a cover lens coupled to the housing, a light plate assembly in the housing, a diffuser that overlaps the light plate assembly, a louver layer that overlaps the diffuser, and a ring light source that emits additional light around the periphery of the light plate assembly and through the cover lens. The light plate assembly may include an array of light-emitting components. To improve the efficiency and contrast of the light plate assembly, reflective fill material may be formed around each light-emitting component, and absorptive fill material may surround the reflective fill material. The absorptive fill material may absorb ambient light, while the reflective fill material may redirect stray light out of the display. Dam material may surround the absorptive fill material and/or the reflective fill material.
