  • Patent number: 5407711
    Abstract: A display has a transparent plastic substrate and a colored image formed on the substrate. The colored image is formed on the substrate by process printing a large number of small dots, colored red, yellow, and blue, in a predetermined pattern onto the substrate. The red, yellow, and blue ink dots are translucent to visible light. A pattern of opaque white ink dots is process printed over selected portions of the image to highlight the selected portions and to thereby give the selected portions an appearance of relative depth. A reflective layer can be deposited against the ink patterns to reflect light which passes through the ink patterns and thereby give the image formed by the ink patterns a shiny, metallic appearance.
