摘要： The thermostat includes a housing having at least a portion thereof illuminated by a light that changes color via a manual input. The light illuminates the display for easy readability while the variable color of the light allows a user to match the appearance of the thermostat to best complement the surrounding décor. User input elements provide for the manual adjustment of one or more characteristics of the light, such as visible color of the light. The light source comprises at least one LED for displaying a plurality of colors. In this case, to change the color of the light illuminating the translucent portion of the housing or backlighting the display, electronics within the thermostat control the drive signals to the LED in order to operate the LED to provide the desired color. The invention also contemplates filtering the light and manually adjusting the filtering to provide the desired aesthetics.

摘要翻译： 恒温器包括壳体，其至少一部分由通过手动输入改变颜色的光照亮。 光照亮显示屏以便易于阅读，而光的可变颜色允许用户匹配恒温器的外观以最佳地补充周围的装饰。 用户输入元件用于手动调整光的一个或多个特性，例如光的可见颜色。 光源包括用于显示多种颜色的至少一个LED。 在这种情况下，为了改变照亮外壳的半透明部分的光的颜色或背光显示器，恒温器内的电子元件将驱动信号控制到LED以便操作LED以提供期望的颜色。 本发明还考虑过滤光并手动调节滤光以提供期望的美观性。
