摘要:
An illuminated sign (1) or nametag achieving the even glow and brightness of neon light displays without neon light tubes. Each character or symbol (12) of the sign or nametag contains a plurality of light emitting members (23). Each such indicia comprises a light diffusion layer (18) illuminated by light emitting members disposed on, near or in the light diffusion layer. A permanent or temporary masking layer (14) partially covers the light diffusion layer to form a glowing border around the masking layer. Reflective layers (20) covering either or both faces of the light diffusion layer (18) may be used to intensify the light emitted therefrom. By the particular arrangement of the reflective surfaces (20) relative to the light diffusion layer (18), electromagnetic radiation in the form of visible light from the light emitting members (23) is controlled to provide an aura that enhances formed outlines or contours of light around the indicia making up the sign.

The present invention is directed to a pre-inked thermoplastic foam (30) which is utilized to form a relief image which is comprised of open cells (32) in the area that is designed to transfer ink (36) and enclosed or sealed cells in the area which is designed to impermeable to ink or other print medium. The present invention also includes the method of using and manufacturing the pre-inked foam (30).

The present invention is directed to an image plate comprised of a stiffening layer formed from a first photocured polymeric material and a print contact layer formed from a second photocured polymeric material wherein the first photocured polymeric material is a hard photocured polymeric material and the second photocured polymeric material is formed from a soft photocured polymeric material. The image plate is assembled as a photocured pre-cut sheet of relief images comprising a first layer formed from a releasable substrate, a second layer formed from a first photocured polymer, and a third layer formed from a second photocured polymer, wherein the first photocured polymer is formed from a hard photopolymer resin and the second photocured polymer is formed from a soft photopolymer resin. The method of forming releasable image plate is also disclosed which includes selectively photocuring a first and second liquid photosensitive material to form the releasable photocured image plate via light transmitted from a first light source through an image bearing negative and light transmitted from a second light source through a blank forming negative.

The present invention is directed to a thermal printer (20) for printing on thermoplastic foam (26) to form a relief image which is comprised of open cells in the area that is the transfer ink enclosed or sealed cells which is to be impermeable to ink or other print medium. The present invention also includes the method of using the thermal head printer (20) which preferably includes cooling the thermoplastic foam (26) prior to forming the image thereon and using a lubricant to pass the thermoplastic foam (26) across the thermal printhead (24).
