Abstract: Self illuminated back and front lit shaped and two-sided signage. The signage includes a turning film having a structured surface for redirecting light and a diffuser providing for diffusion. The shape of the signage from a viewer's perspective provides the content, such as letters, to be conveyed to the viewer. Two-sided signage includes two signs arranged back-to-back, each including a turning film having a structured surface for redirecting light, a diffuser providing for diffusion, and a printed graphic. In the two-sided signage, the turning films receive light from an ambient light source and direct the light via the structured surfaces toward viewers of the two graphics in order to passively illuminate the signage. The two-sided signage can be shaped to provide content via the shape and graphics.
Abstract translation: 自身照亮背部和前面照亮形状和双面标牌。 标牌包括具有用于重定向光的结构化表面的转向膜和用于扩散的扩散器。 从观众的角度看，标牌的形状提供了要传达给观众的内容，比如字母。 双面标牌包括背对背布置的两个标志，每个包括具有用于重定向光的结构化表面的转向膜，用于扩散的扩散器和印刷图形。 在双面标牌中，转动胶片从环境光源接收光，并将光通过结构化表面导向两个图形的观看者，以被动地照亮标牌。 双面标牌可以通过形状和图形形状提供内容。

Abstract: Hybrid signage capable of self illumination and having an active backlight. The signage includes a turning film having a structured surface for redirecting light in order to passively illuminate a printed graphic or shaped sign when the backlight is off. In the shaped sign, the shape provides the content, such as letters, to be conveyed to the viewer instead of a graphic. The signage can be actively illuminated when the backlight is on to supplemental the passive illumination.
