Abstract: The vision panel includes electroluminescent sheetstock having electrically energizable light-emitting and non-electrically energizable non-light emitting areas and terminals for electrically connecting the electrically energizable light-emitting areas to an electrical power source. The sheetstock is formed of layers of patterned phosphorus ink, a dielectric and a conductive material such as a conductive ink or conductive adhesive. A reflective sheet is applied to one side of the panel and a printed image is provided over a diffuser layer overlying the electroluminescent sheet on the opposite side of the panel. Upon electrical energization of the light-emitting areas, the image on one side of the panel is illuminated by light transmitted directly from the electrically energized light-emitting areas, as well as light reflected by the reflective sheet through the non-light-emitting areas and through the image.

Abstract: A vision control panel for application to a transparent surface includes a poly-coated adhesive release liner adhered to the underside of a substrate formed of electroluminescent (EL) or luminescent material, a power supplying bus where an electroluminescent material is used, a primary coating overlying the opposite side of the substrate, a first ink receptor coating overlying the binder coating, a second ink receptor coating overlying the first ink receptor coating, a printed image on the second ink receptor coating and a protectant over-laminate. With the exception of the protectant over-laminate, the underlying layers are perforated to enable an observer on the inside of the transparent surface to see through the panel, i.e., through the perforations, while an observer on the opposite side of the panel sees only the illuminated image printed on the panel.

Abstract: A retroreflective vision control panel which includes an opaque sheet material coated with retroreflective light reflecting particles and a dark opaque color on the reverse side thereof, and an image formed over top the retroreflective particles using colored light permeable translucent inks or films to form an image thereon. The opaque sheet and image have a plurality of perforations spaced therethrough. Translucent light-permeable sheet material is provided on the back side of the panel and overlaid on one or the other side with translucent inks to form a second image. An observer on the front side of the panel will observe one or the other of the images, depending upon the relative intensity of the light incident on the front and back sides of the panel.

Abstract: A retro-reflective vision control panel which includes an opaque sheet material coated with retro-reflective light reflecting particles and a dark opaque color on the reverse side thereof, and an image formed over top the retro-reflective particles using colored light permeable translucent inks or films to form an image thereon. The opaque sheet and image have a plurality of perforations spaced thereover such that when the light level on the image side of said panel is slightly less than, equal to, or greater than that on the other side, an observer on the image side clearly sees the image while an observer on the other side sees through the panel without seeing any trace whatsoever of the image or design.
