Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to an indicator device that can provide a single output where, in the past, two or more indicator lights were needed. The indicator device works with an electronic device that has two or more binary components, each component having two binary states. Two or more indicator lights generate a light scheme that corresponds to the status of the states. A single output is created out of the light scheme in the form of an output light. For example, the indicator device includes a two or more light sources including a first light source coupled to the first component and a second light source coupled to the second component. The first light source generates a light when the first component is in the first binary state. Also, the first light source does not generate a light when the first component is in the second binary state. Further, the second light source generates a light when the first component is in the first binary state and the second component is in the first binary state. The indicator device also includes a light transmitter. The light transmitter is adapted to converge the generated light of the first and second light sources into a single visible output light when the first and second components are in their first binary states.
