Repositionable display panel

1. A method of manufacturing a repositionable display panel, comprising:

forming an image on a front surface of a rigid image plate;

placing the rigid image plate with a back surface upward in an alignment fixture;

receiving a spacer block having a surface attached with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer;

removing a release liner from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer attached to the spacer block;

placing the spacer block in the alignment fixture with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer facing down;

attaching the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the spacer block to the back surface of the rigid image plate in the alignment fixture;

loading an assembly of the rigid image plate and the spacer block into an arbor press; and

applying pressure on the spacer block against the rigid image plate to activate a pressure-sensitive adhesive in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to bond the spacer block to the rigid image plate to form a repositionable display panel.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

printing one or more alignment markers on an alignment sheet associated with the rigid image plate;

attaching the alignment sheet on the back surface of the rigid image plate; and

aligning the spacer block relative to the rigid image plate in the alignment fixture using the one or more alignment markers before attaching the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the spacer block to the back surface of the rigid image plate in the alignment fixture.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein aligning the spacer block relative to the rigid image plate includes:

aligning of the spacer block relative to the rigid image plate in the alignment fixture using the one or more alignment markers.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

printing product tracking information on the alignment sheet.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

attaching a first surface of a double-sided adhesive tape to another surface of the spacer block opposite to the surface of the spacer block attached with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and bonded to the rigid image plate to form the repositionable display panel, wherein the repositionable display panel is attached to a wall surface by a second surface of the double-sided adhesive tape.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a stronger bonding power than the double-sided adhesive tape, the method comprising:

removing the repositionable display panel from the wall surface by detaching the double-sided adhesive tape from the wall surface without breaking the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rigid image plate includes a colorant absorption layer on the front surface, and forming the image on the front surface of the rigid image plate comprises forming the image by a colorant in the colorant absorption layer using thermal dye transfer or thermal dye sublimation.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rigid image plate is made of a metal, wood, plastics, a composite material, a glass, or ceramics.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the spacer block is made of a foam material.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein after the pressure is applied on the spacer block, an edge of the rigid image plate to an edge of spacer block is in a range of 1.5 to 5 times a thickness of the spacer block.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rigid image plate is defined by an image plate thickness and an image plate width, the spacer block is defined by a spacer block thickness and a spacer block width, and the spacer block width is smaller than the image plate width.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer comprises an acrylic material or a rubber-based material.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the image on the front surface of the rigid image plate includes directly printing a colorant onto the front surface of the rigid image plate.

14. The method of claim 5 , wherein a surface area of the double-sided adhesive tape is proportional to an adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and is relative to a weight of the repositionable display panel.

15. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

removing a first release liner from the first surface of the double-sided adhesive tape to attach the first surface of the double-sided adhesive tape to the another surface of the spacer block, wherein a second release liner is removable from the second surface of the double-sided adhesive tape to attach the repositionable display panel to the wall surface.
