A semi-transparent sign includes a reflective display, multiple layers and a control circuit. The reflective display may be semi-transparent, have a first side subject to a thermal load, have a second side opposite the first side, and configured to generate a plurality of visible images. A heat sink layer may be attached to the first side, be transparent, and configured to carry heat energy away from the reflective display. The thermal layer may be attached to the heat sink layer, be semi-transparent, and configured to reduce an intensity of the thermal load reaching the reflective display. The warming layer may be attached to the second side, be transparent, and configured to heat the reflective display in response to an electric current. The control circuit may be configured to control the electric current to the warming layer based on a temperature signal indicating a temperature of the semi-transparent sign.

The present disclosure describes shelf assemblies having illuminated frames for products including appliances such as refrigerators.

Light leakage from integrally molding a decorative sheet and a connector insert is prevented. A molded article includes a display portion through which light can pass. A molded article body of the molded article includes a second molded portion made of a light-transmitting resin transmitting light guided to the display portion and a first molded portion made of an opaque resin having lower light transmittance than the second molded portion. A decorative sheet is integrally molded with the molded article body and includes a decorative portion that embellishes the display portion. A light-transmitting touch sensor sheet is integrally molded with the molded article body and transmits light that passes through the display portion. The molded article body includes a shade structure that is at least partly disposed around an outer peripheral edge of the decorative sheet and suppresses light passing through the light-transmitting resin.

A direct view display provides a light modulating panel and a backlight including first and second sets of spectral emitters. Several modes of operation may be provided including an advanced 2D mode, and an enhanced color gamut mode employing simultaneous illumination of the first and second set of spectral emitters. Another embodiment may be an optical structure for a multi-functional LCD display with wide color gamut and high stereo contrast. The optical structure may also be used to produce more saturated colors for a wider display color gamut and also may be used to produce a brighter backlight structure through light recycling of the wider bandwidth light back into the optical structure.

An integrated aircraft lighting and display panel includes high-density arrays of micro-scale light-emitting diodes (LED) set into arrays (e.g., linear, two-dimensional, freeform) to form tiles, the LED tiles combined and interconnected to form LED panels conformable to any interior surface within an aircraft cabin. The PCB and LED arrays may be set into structural layers corresponding to overhead panels, side panels, bin panels, divider panels, doorway panels, galley and monument panels, or other interior structural panels of the aircraft. The LED arrays may be activated by an onboard video processor and local panel-level controllers to provide cabin lighting, indicate aircraft signage, display high-resolution image or video graphics, or simultaneously blend any combination thereof, either on command or in response to detected conditions.

An integrated aircraft lighting and display panel includes high-density arrays of micro-scale light-emitting diodes (LED) set into a flexible printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB and LED arrays may be set into structural layers corresponding to overhead panels, side panels, bin panels, divider panels, doorway panels, or other interior structural panels of the aircraft. The LED arrays may be activated by a controller to provide cabin lighting, indicate aircraft signage, display high-resolution image or video graphics, or any simultaneous combination of all three. The panel may have a translucent or transparent decorative outer skin which may mimic the outward appearance of wood, stone, bamboo, or other decorative materials while the integrated lighting and display panels are inactive. Highly reflective core materials, such as an aluminum core in a honeycomb pattern, may guide the luminous output of the LED arrays through the outer skin.
