Abstract

An illuminated cover (10), a ptethod of making such a covered and a covered electronic device. An electroluminescent foil (36) overlies a thin, rigid support base (30), and an insulating foil (38) overlies the electroluminescent foil (36). A first opening (40a) allows insertion of an electrical connector for the electroluminescent foil. A second opening (20) allows insertion of a control key of an electronic device covered by the decorative cover. The covered electronic device further includes a printed circuit board having electronic components (44) mounted on it, including the control key. A connector (48) extends into the first opening to connect the electroluminescent foil to circuitry on the printed circuit board so as to provide electrical power to the electroluminescent foil. A second base cooperates with the support base to enclose the electronic device. A graphic (54) can be included between the electroluminescent foil and the insulating foil. The cover is made by a molding method.
