Abstract: A visual display apparatus, comprising a first panel formed of a substantially transparent first substrate material, the first substrate material being substantially colorless and the first substrate material defining a first major forward surface and an opposed first major rear surface spaced in a rearward direction from the first major forward surface. The first substrate material defines a continuous first outer edge connecting the first major forward surface and the first major rear surface, and the first outer edge comprises a first edge light entrance area. A second panel is disposed in parallel relation to the first panel and comprises a substantially transparent second substrate material having a color. The second substrate material defining a second major forward surface and an opposed second major rear surface spaced in a rearward direction from the second major forward surface.
