Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1310933A2] A fiber optic light guide (FOLG) (19',19'') has a parting plane (25) stretching crosswise to its light path so as to avoid stripy smears and visually disturbing dark areas depending on angle of vision in a light-emitting surface acting as an optical signal transmitter for the FOLG in the control screen (12) of a large domestic appliance (11). Mechanical processing/coating scatters light and roughens one of two front surfaces (26) lying flush on top of each other.
