Abstract
A method of making an illuminated panel for projecting a pattern or an image and for use with a lighting system including a light source includes the step of providing a substrate. The method further includes the step of printing at least one layer of ink on the substrate to create an image or pattern that may be projected onto a surface, wherein the at least one layer of ink is a light absorbent or light reflective layer of ink that protects the substrate and ink from light energy, ultraviolet light, and infra-red energy.
Claims20
A method of making an illuminated panel for projecting a pattern or an image and for use with a lighting system including a light source, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a substrate;
- and
- printing at least one layer of ink on the substrate to create an image or pattern that may be projected onto a surface, wherein the at least one layer of ink is a light absorbent or light reflective layer of ink that helps protect the substrate and ink from light energy, ultraviolet light, and infra-red energy.
An illuminated panel for projecting an image or pattern and for use with a lighting system, the illuminated panel comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- at least one layer of ink deposited on the substrate to form an image or pattern, wherein the at least one layer of ink is a light absorbent or light reflective layer of ink that helps protect the substrate and ink from light energy, ultraviolet light, and infra-red energy.
An illuminated panel for projecting an image or pattern and for use with a lighting system, the illuminated panel comprising:
- a substrate;
- a first layer of ink deposited on the substrate;
- and
- a second layer of ink deposited on the substrate;
- wherein one of the first and second layers is reflective and the other of the first and second layers is absorptive;
- wherein the first and second layers of ink combine to form an image or pattern for projection.
