Tactile elements for deadfronted glass and methods of making the same

An automobile interior comprising:

• a deadfront article comprising:
• a substrate comprising:
• a first surface;
• and
• a second surface opposite the first surface;
• a visual element disposed on the second surface of the substrate and/or within the substrate such that the visual element may be viewed through the first surface, the visual element comprising a graphic that may be viewed through the first surface;
• at least one tactile element formed on the first surface of the substrate, the at least one tactile element comprising one or more surface roughness portions, wherein at least one of the one or more surface roughness portions is positioned on the first surface of the substrate in a complimentary fashion to the graphic wherein an area on the first surface occupied by the at least one tactile element corresponds to an area on the second surface and/or within the substrate occupied by the graphic;
• a semi-transparent layer disposed on a second surface of the substrate layer, the semi-transparent layer comprising a pattern of two or more colors;
• a contrast layer disposed on at least a portion of the semi-transparent layer, wherein the contrast layer reflects light to enhance the visibility of the pattern of two or more colors in an area outside of the graphic;
• and
• a high optical density layer disposed on at least a portion of the contrast layer, the high optical density layer at least in part defining the graphic;
• and
• a touch panel located behind the visual element, the touch panel configured to respond to a touch by a user, wherein:
• the semi-transparent layer comprises an optical density of 0.1 to 0.5, and the contrast layer is white or gray and comprises an optical density of 0.9 to 2.
