Abstract
In the present invention the cover-like part (21) of an RF shield is manufactured from a transparent material, e.g., plastic, and unplated areas that function as light conductors (22) are left in the conductive plating covering the shield. The present invention combines an RF shield and a light conductor into one structure whose manufacturing process is quite easy to control. The present invention eliminates the necessity of having separate plates that function as light conductors.
