A miniature backlight kit includes a covering member, a light-shading element, a light guide element, a housing and a light-emitting unit. The light-emitting unit is disposed within a first concave structure of the light-shading element. The light-shading element is disposed within a second concave structure of the light guide element. The light guide element is covered by the lateral wall of the housing. The light-emitting unit emits a light beam. The light beam is reflected to the lateral wall of the housing by the light guide element. Consequently, a luminance gradient region is formed on the surface of the lateral wall of the housing.

An illuminated traffic sign that includes a signage print coupled with a reflective sheet, a sign body for securably receiving the reflective sheet thereon, a plurality of symbol apertures formed in the sign body, wherein the symbol apertures align with portions of the signage print to be illuminated, and a plurality of symbol lamps positioned inside a light enclosure secured to the sign body.

A beverage dispensing head includes a housing having a front, a rear, and a base that extends between the front and the rear. A mixing nozzle is configured to dispense a flow of beverage via the base. A valve is configured to control the flow of beverage via the mixing nozzle, and a switch is movable into and between a closed position in which the valve opens the flow of beverage via the mixing nozzle and an open position in which the valve closes the flow of beverage via the mixing nozzle. A lighting module disposed in the housing is configured to illuminate the front of the housing and the base of the housing when the switch is moved into the closed position.

A display apparatus includes a display panel supported within a case having a rear surface including a circular recessed portion. An annular total reflection mirror and an annular half mirror are disposed in the circular recessed portion with an annular light source provided therebetween. A pattern forming member is disposed on an outer side of the annular half mirror and is configured to be reflected by the annular total reflection mirror. A pattern light source is configured to supply light to the pattern forming member so that the pattern is reflected on the annular total reflection mirror. When the annular light source and the pattern light source are turned on, the pattern of the pattern forming member is reflected between the annular total reflection mirror and the annular half mirror.

Printed matter that includes a light-transmissive substrate, a laminated clear layer, and a light adjustment layer. The laminated clear layer is disposed above a main surface of the substrate, and is composed of clear element layers that are light-transmissive. The light adjustment layer has a function of adjusting an amount of light transmitted therethrough and is disposed on the laminated clear layer and/or interposed between a plurality of the clear element layers. The adjustment layer includes light reflective particles and covers a portion of a surface of a layer thereunder. Each of the light reflective particles is granular and has a light reflective surface. The light adjustment layer, in terms of surface area ratio in plan view, covers from 2% to 50% of the surface of the layer thereunder.

A marker system for a vehicle comprises a marker structure bearing an augmented reality (AR) code visible on a surface thereof, and an illumination source configured and positioned to provide sufficient contrast between the AR code and adjacent portion of the marker structure at the surface to enable a camera aimed at the surface to detect the AR for recognition thereof. Related systems and methods are also disclosed.

One embodiment provides an illuminated address sign that includes a frame with an open front side and an open rear side. The open front side interchangeably receives a first plaque, and the open rear side interchangeably receives a second plaque. Multiple first attachment points are configured on the open rear side of the frame. The multiple first attachment points connect with a bracket for mounting the illuminated address sign to a first surface. A control unit is connected to the frame and a light source. A light sensor is connected to the frame and the control unit.

The present invention relates to an Illuminated Roll Up Sign. The traffic sign comprises a rollable sign member and a hand-held base member. The traffic sign of the present invention is light weighted and can be disassembled and packaged for the ease of storage and/or transportation.
