Abstract: A process to obtain printed matter having embossed highlighted parts which consists of first entering data of an image onto a computer. The image is printed on a moldable laminate sheet, and a mold is produced from the selected data. The laminate sheet is molded until the selected data of the image provides an embossment on the sheet. The printed matter obtained by means of the process of the present invention provides a sheet having images that are molded off-set with respect to the plane of the laminated sheet.

Abstract: A display device is describes which forms contained formed figures such as symbols, letters or numbers, ideograms, and which can be a sign, billboard, signal, message board, etc. Each figure is formed as a narrow but high projection which stands out of the external face of a sheet which permits the passage of light originating from a source behind the sheet. Each figure is surrounded by a sector of this same sheet capable of intercepting at least part of the light, so that the figure stands out in marked high relief. Also described is a mold particularly useful for production of the formed sheet, which includes a large number of very thin rigid straight rods, abutting one another within an adjustable frame, which are movable laterally among themselves in a slidable tight relation and able to stay locked among themselves by friction against sliding during vacuum or pressure molding.
