Reflective display
View Patent ↗A display includes a base having a front surface, an adhesive pattern formed over a first area of the front surface, a reflective layer over the adhesive pattern, and may include an image formed over a second area of the front surface which is at least partially not occupied by the reflective layer. A manufacturing method improves economy of manufacture by combining a texture pattern layer and an adhesive layer.
1. A display comprising:
a base having a front surface;
an adhesive pattern formed over a first area of said front surface;
a reflective layer over said adhesive pattern;
an image formed over a second area of said front surface which is at least partially not occupied by said reflective layer;
wherein said first area and said second area overlap in a third area.
2. The display according to claim 1 wherein said adhesive pattern and said reflective layer are formed over said image in said third area.
3. The display according to claim 1 wherein said image overlaps said pattern and said reflective layer in said third area.
4. The display according to claim 2 wherein said third area is substantially co-extensive with said first area.
5. A display comprising:
a base having a front surface;
an adhesive pattern formed over a first area of said front surface;
a reflective layer over said adhesive pattern;
an image formed over a second area of said front surface which is at least partially not occupied by said reflective layer;
an additional image formed over at least a portion of said reflective layer;
wherein said additional image comprises an at least partially transparent area.
6. A display comprising:
a base having a front surface;
an adhesive pattern formed over a first area of said front surface;
a reflective layer over said adhesive pattern;
an image formed over a second area of said front surface which is at least partially not occupied by said reflective layer;
an additional image formed over at least a portion of said reflective layer;
wherein said additional image comprises opaque and at least partially transparent areas.
7. A display comprising:
a base having a front surface;
an adhesive pattern formed over an area of said front surface; and
a reflective layer over said adhesive pattern,
wherein said base is at least partially transparent and has a rear surface opposite to said front surface, and comprising an additional reflective layer formed over said rear surface.
8. A display comprising:
a base having a front surface;
an adhesive pattern formed over a first area of said front surface;
a reflective layer over said adhesive pattern;
an image formed over a second area of said front surface which is at least partially not occupied by said reflective layer,
wherein said base is at least partially transparent and has a rear surface opposite to said front surface, and said image display further comprises an additional reflective layer formed over said rear surface.
9. A display comprising:
a base having a front surface;
a textured adhesive pattern of heat activated adhesive formed over a first area of said front surface and having varying thickness comprising a plurality of thicker portions providing protrusions;
a reflective layer comprising a reflective foil layer transferred from a roll leaf only to said pattern over said first area where said heat activated adhesive is applied, said reflective foil layer being formed over said protrusions; and
an image formed over a second area of said front surface which is at least partially not occupied by said reflective foil layer.
