Abstract: A light-conductive and transparent front panel 12 is mounted in a frame 11. One or more etched characters 22 are formed on a rear surface 17 of the front panel 12, and one or more photo-luminescent characters 16 is/are disposed in overlying relation to the etched character(s) 22. A strip of light emitting diodes (LED's) 14 are mounted in the frame 11 adjacent to a side wall 13 of the front panel 12. Mounting members 19, 20 are formed on the frame to position and hold the front panel in place.

Abstract: A composite panel made of hybrid structural resins containing fillers and reinforcing members for use in, but not limited to, the construction and automotive industries. The panel provides superior weatherability and excellent mechanical properties while achieving various aesthetic appearances. The panel employs a multi-layer composite construction. The panel is made of a weatherable outer layer of hybrid resin, with a pigmented or graphic second layer that may or may not contain reinforcing fillers suspended in hybrid resin. The pigments in this second layer give the panel the outward appearance desired, such as wood, granite, stone, metal, or other appropriate cladding. The second layer is followed by at least one structural layer of hybrid resin that may or may not contain fillers and/or reinforcing agents. The panel may or may not have an insulating core of foam, fiberglass, or similar insulating material in order to achieve added R value.
