Provided is a sheet member including a sheet-shaped substrate with a transmissive property including a first surface and a second surface, a colored layer, and a phosphorescent layer containing a phosphorescent material. In the sheet member, the colored layer and the phosphorescent layer are arranged adjacent to at least the first surface. Further, the sheet member includes, at least partially, at least either one of a part where the colored layer is arranged more adjacent to the substrate than the phosphorescent layer, or a part where the colored layer is arranged on the substrate and the phosphorescent layer is not arranged.

An optical device includes a light-guiding plate and light sources that each emit light to the light-guiding plate. The light-guiding plate has light convergence portions, the light substantially converges at or scatters from a convergence point or line, and an image is formed by a collection of the convergence points or lines, and a light convergence portion causes light to be emitted in directions in which the light substantially converges in or scatters from a range including a point located a first distance apart from the emission surface, and a second light convergence portion causes light to be emitted in directions in which the light substantially converges in or scatters from a range including a point located a second distance, which is longer than the first distance, apart from the emission surface, and the number of first light convergence portions is higher than the number of second light convergence portions.

A current-generated photo-luminescent hybrid sign is provided that includes one or more light emitting elements within a channel in the frame to evenly distribute light, while at the same time energizing a photo-luminescent glow material in case of power outage. A method of use of the sign is also provided.

Product display systems are provided. The product display systems may include a product display assembly and one or more products positioned in proximity to the product display assembly. The product display assembly may include a solar cell configured to receive light and output electrical current and a wireless power transmitter configured to receive the electrical current. The product may include a wireless power receiver that cooperates with the wireless power transmitter to produce current that powers an output mechanism. The output mechanism outputs a perceptible effect such as light or sound to attract consumer attention. A related method is also provided.

An illuminated vehicular sign is provided including a vehicle and luminescent planar sheet. The luminescent planar sheet is constructed to provide illuminated alpha-numeric characters which are mounted to the horizontal planar surfaces of a vehicle. The alpha-numeric characters are mounted substantially horizontally so as to be seen from the air such as by helicopters or planes. The illuminated vehicle sign includes a switching system electrically connected to the luminescent planar panels for selectively controlling the transfer of power from said power source to the luminescent planar panels. The switching system including one or more adjustable variable resistors electrically connected to the luminescent planar panels for allowing one to selectively adjust the wattage provided to them.

A vehicle is provided herein. The vehicle includes a panel having a light-producing assembly including a plurality of light sources arranged therein and attached to the panel. A photoluminescent structure is disposed on the light-producing assembly and is configured to luminesce in response to excitation by the plurality of light sources. A vehicle sensor is configured to initiate an illumination sequence of the plurality of light sources based on a change in vehicular movement. A controller for illuminates the plurality of light sources based on predefined events when an electronic device is disposed proximately to the vehicle and is in communication with the controller.
