Abstract
The present disclosure provides a structured connector for positioning on, and electrically coupling to, a surface of a device component. The connector has a bottom portion for contacting the surface of the device component and comprises an electrically conductive material. Further the connector has at least one light diverting surface portion that is oriented relative to the surface of the device component such that, in use, light directed at normal incidence relative to the surface of the device component is received by the at least one light diverting surface portion such that the received light is diverted towards an exposed adjacent surface of the device component. In addition, the connector has at least one light scattering surface portion that is oriented relative to the surface of the device component such that, in use, light directed at normal incidence relative to the surface of the device component is received by the at least one light scattering surface portion such that the received light is scattered in a direction away from the device component.
