Backlighting using Color Converting Plastic

This innovative, patented system for producing custom-colored interior backlighting via LEDs (fed through light distribution pipes) relies on patented fluorescing dyes and proprietary light-scattering additives in translucent resins used to mold buttons, knobs, and backlit plates rather than far more costly custom-colored LED bulbs.  Moving color control from the LED to the plastic button not only results in more uniform, controllable emitted color, but also makes backlighting more economically feasible.
