Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bedieneinrichtung für ein Kommunikationsgerät, insbesondere eine Fernbedienung für ein Gerät der Unterhaltungselektronik mit einem Tastenfeld mit beleuchteten Tasten aufweist.The invention relates to an operating device for a communication device, in particular a remote control for a consumer electronics device having a keypad with illuminated keys.

Zur homogeneren Verteilung und damit zur einfacheren Handhabung der Bedieneinrichtung wird vorgeschlagen, im Bereich des Tastenfelds Lichtleitmittel vorzusehen, die zur Weiterleitung des von den Leuchtmittel abgebenden Lichts an das Tastaturfeld vorgesehen sind.
