Zusammenfassung: | A fiber optic light panel assembly including an optical fiber layer including a plurality of optical fibers arranged in a predetermined form such that the optical fiber layer has a light emitting side configured to emit light, and a mounting side opposing the light emitting side. An adhesive layer is provided having a first side in direct contact with the mounting side of the optical fiber layer, and a second side opposing the first side and configured to directly contact a surface of a supporting structure such that the adhesive later mechanically connects the optical fiber layer to the support structure. Also included is a fiber bundle including portions of the plurality of optical fibers that are not in direct contact with the adhesive layer, and abrasions provided along a length of each of the plurality of optical fibers such that light can be emitted from the respective fiber, the abrasion being provided in the optical fiber layer and in at least part of the fiber bundle. |
