Wireless display panel having light status indicators
View Patent ↗A wireless display panel for an electronic system includes a plurality of light status indicators. Each light status indicator includes a first chamber attached to the wireless display panel and having an excitable gas inside an end of thereof and a second chamber attached to a surface of the electronic system. The first and second chambers being formed of conducting material and corresponding to each other, connecting with each other to form a sealed enclosure when the wireless display panel is connected with the electronic system. Each light status indicator also includes a generator attached to the surface of the electronic system and surrounded by the second chamber, outputting alternating current (AC) power inside the sealed enclosure for wirelessly transmitting AC current to excite the excitable gas, as determined by the electronic system.
1. A wireless display panel for an electronic system, comprising:
a plurality of light status indicators each comprising:
a first chamber attached to the wireless display panel and comprising an excitable gas inside an end of thereof;
a second chamber attached to a surface of the electronic system, the first and second chambers being formed of conducting material and corresponding to each other, connecting with each other to form a sealed enclosure when the wireless display panel is connected with the electronic system; and
a generator attached to the surface of the electronic system and surrounded by the second chamber, the generator configured to output alternating current (AC) power inside the sealed enclosure for wirelessly transmitting AC current to excite the excitable gas, as determined by the electronic system.
2. The wireless display panel of claim 1 , wherein the first and second chambers each comprise a faraday cage or tube.
3. The wireless display panel of claim 1 , wherein:
AC current stops traveling towards the excitable gas upon removal of the wireless display panel from the electronic system while in an on-state, and
AC power is selectively outputted from the generator as determined by the electronic system.
4. The wireless display panel of claim 1 , wherein the generator automatically stops outputting AC power when the wireless display panel is removed from the electronic system.
5. The wireless display panel of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the light status indicators is a fault detection indicator in which AC power is only outputted from the respective generator when a system fault of the electronic system is detected.
