Abstract: A screen protector including a screen protector substrate having an image etched on a top surface thereof formed by micro-fractures in the top surface created by a laser and activated by a chemical process, the image being visible when installed on an inactivated screen through light passing through unetched portions of the image and the image being transparent/translucent on an activated screen. A method of making a screen protector, by etching an image into a screen protector substrate by striking a top surface of the screen protector substrate with a laser and creating micro-fractures in the top surface, forming intervals that allow light to pass through unetched portions of the image, applying a chemical compound, applying an anti-fingerprinting coating, and applying an adhesive layer for adhering the screen protector substrate to a screen. A method of protecting a screen and displaying an image.

Abstract: Described is a screen protector having a screen protector substrate and an image engraved or etched into a top surface of the screen protector substrate. When a screen onto which the screen protector is installed is not activated, the image is visible but when the screen is activated, the image is translucent, thereafter showing a screen image without showing the etched image.
