Claims33
An imaging element comprising in order an upper image, at least one transmission and reflection device providing optical transmission of said element of between 35% to 55% and a lower image, wherein at least the upper and lower images are on separate supports;
- wherein said upper image, said lower image, and said at least one transmission and reflective device are all held together, and said upper image and said lower image are in register with each other;
- the imaging element thereby providing a bright, sharp reflective image and allowing for backlighting of the image to also result in a clear, sharp image in low light situations.
A method of forming an imaging element comprising providing an upper image, providing at least one transmission and reflection device providing optical transmission of said element of between 35% and 55%, and providing a lower image, wherein at least the upper and lower images are on separate supports, bringing said upper image, lower image, and at least one transmission and reflective device into register and securing them together;
- the imaging element thereby providing a bright, sharp reflective image and allowing for backlighting of the image to also result in a clear, sharp image in low light situations.
