A method of manufacturing an aircraft photoluminescent marker that comprises a substrate includes providing an ink or coating adapted to be cured with ultra violet (UV) radiation and printing one or more markings directly onto the substrate of the photoluminescent marker with the ink or coating, followed by curing the ink or coating with UV radiation. The substrate is one of a photoluminescent material or a housing, and the marking comprises at least one of a pattern, wording, images, blocks, or indicia.

The present invention relates to a luminous picture comprising first, differently contoured, coloured portions (11, 12, 13, 14) in different colours and second portions (17, 18) which differ from the first portions and which are covered with photoluminescent luminous paint that shines in the dark, wherein the first and the second portions are situated on a substrate (10), wherein, according to the invention, each contour of the first portions (11, 12, 13, 14) has been traced using a narrow line-shaped edge (16) made of photoluminescent luminous paint (15).

A household appliance component has a base element with at least one photoluminescent layer and at least one light guide. The light guide is configured to couple in and transmit light containing at least one excitation wavelength of the photoluminescent layer to the photoluminescent layer. An optical switch is assigned to the light guide to route light coupled in the light guide depending on the temperature of the optical switch. Further a household appliance contains the at least one household appliance component.

A multilayered printed matter includes a group of print layers formed on a medium. The group of layers include a front layer and a back layer on which patterns are printed, a white layer, and a black layer. The white layer is interposed between the front layer and the back layer to conceal the back layer to be invisible from the side of the front layer. The white layer reflects incident light from the side of the front layer to allow the front layer to be visible from the side of the front layer. The black layer is interposed between the white layer and the back layer to conceal the back layer to be invisible from the side of the front layer. In comparison between the black layer and the white layer that are equal in thickness, the black layer exerts a higher light blocking effect than the white layer.
