Abstract
A machine control panel includes a matrix of pressure
sensitive switches (10) and a matrix of LED's (12) in a substan
tially coplanar array. An aperture array (18) formed by a flex
ible cover sheet (16) having an opaque coating (20) surround
ing a matrix of transparent apertures (18) is positioned on top
of the LED and switch array with corresponding ones of the
LED's and apertures in alignment. Unused apertures in the
aperture matrix corresponding to unused LED's are selec
tively closed by opaque aperture covers (19). Switch identify
ing covers in the form of labels (22) are positioned on top of
the aperture array to visually indicate selected ones of the
switches (16). A flexible transparent overlay located on top of
the aperture array may be used to protect the labels and
aperture covers while enabling a switch operating pressure to
be transferred to the switches.
