A display body includes a partially-provided optical element array, the display body enabling an optic effect by optical elements to be observed, wherein an image for producing the optic effect through interaction with the optical element array is formed in a first partial region on a first surface of a main body, the optical element array is formed in a second partial region corresponding to the first partial region on a second surface opposite to the first surface, the optical element array has recess portions and projecting portions, and a non-formation surface of the second surface where the optical element array is not formed is positioned between a lowest part of the recess portions and a highest part of the projecting portions.

Silicone-containing light fixture optics. A method for manufacturing an optical component may include mixing two precursors of silicone, opening a first gate of an optic forming device, moving the silicone mixture from the extrusion machine into the optic forming device, cooling the silicone mixture as it enters the optic forming device, filling a mold within the optic forming device with the silicone mixture, closing the first gate, and heating the silicone mixture in the mold to at least partially cure the silicone. Alternatively, a method for manufacturing an optical component may include depositing a layer of heat cured silicone optical material to an optical structure, arranging one or more at least partially cured silicone optics on the layer of heat cured silicone optical material, and heating the heat cured silicone optical material to permanently adhere the one or more at least partially cured silicone optics to the optical structure.

Silicone-containing light fixture optics. A method for manufacturing an optical component including an inner optical component and an outer optical component. The method may include providing a first optical component; providing a material that comprises silicone; moving the material through an extrusion die to form a second optical component on the first optical component to form a continuous length of extruded optic. The first optical component can be one of the inner optical component or the outer optical component, and the second optical component can be the other of the inner optical component or the outer optical component and different from the first optical component. The method may further include curing the continuous length of extruded optic; and cutting the continuous length of extruded optic at a desired length to form the linear optic.
