Abstract

See full text

A lighting system includes a display, a pointer, a motor, a lighting element, a lens, and a coating. The display has first and second opposed sides, with the pointer at least partially disposed on the first opposed side of the display, and the motor disposed on the second opposed side of the display for moving the pointer. The lighting element disposed within the motor on the second opposed side of the display lights the pointer. The lens is disposed on the first opposed side of the display with the pointer at least partially disposed between the first opposed side of the display and the lens. The coating, disposed on an underside of the lens facing the pointer and the display, is made of a material which when excited by light emits light onto the display creating a shadow of at least a portion of the pointer on the display.
