Abstract: A light switch cover having a light switch identifier to identify light coupled to a particular light switch. To this end, the light switch identifier may be positioned adjacent the light switch and/or a designation (number, letter or both) may be established for the light switch identifier and the light switch. The light switch cover may include a small clear cover behind which a label is positioned which identifies the particular light (or other device) that the corresponding light switch is operable to control.
Abstract: An apparatus for illuminating passive liquid crystal displays is proposed, in which bright display elements appear in negative contrast against a dark background. Masks (21) in the vicinity of the support points (18) of the liquid crystal display (10) are supposed to effectively disappear from the apparent image of the display. To this end, a photoconductor (22) into which light outside the display enters is disposed in front of the liquid crystal display (10), and this photoconductor has surface regions (22a), in the vicinity of the masks (21), which put out a portion of the light toward the front (drawing figure).
