A polymeric substrate and a method of providing same includes providing a protection system of one or more layers on at least one first surface of the polymeric substrate, coating a spectrally controlling system on a surface of the protection system to provide an external surface, the spectrally controlling system comprising at least a light absorbing or a light reflecting layer, partially removing the spectrally controlling system from the external surface until reaching the at least one first surface of the protection system creating in the spectrally controlling system an area free of the light absorbing or light reflecting layer of the spectrally controlling system, and covering the area by depositing at least one or more substances in droplets.

A light-emitting display sheet includes a first fiber base material layer and a surface material layer stacked on the first fiber base material layer. The first fiber base material layer includes a first surface facing the surface material layer, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The light-emitting display sheet further includes a print portion having an outline and sandwiched between the first surface of the first fiber base material layer and the surface material layer.

A colorful dazzling artifact includes supporting base, the supporting base being formed with a first opening and having an interior in which at least one light-emitting component and more than one light-transmitting vision window are arranged; a water-lamp main body, the water-lamp main body being arranged in the first opening of the supporting base, the water-lamp main body being of a hollow light-transmitting three-dimensional shape, in which a thick flowable liquid is received and hermetically enclosed; and at least one pattern decoration layer, the pattern decoration layer being fit inside the supporting base and corresponding to the light-transmitting vision window. Further, an ornamentation object and glitter powder may be arranged in the water-lamp main body. A rotating mechanism is provided to drive the ornamentation object to rotate and also to drive a liquid to flow so as to bring the glitter powder to flow therewith.

A trim for an object and its method of manufacture involve providing a transparent or translucent substrate defining a top surface, applying an opaque layer above the top surface of the substrate, the opaque layer defining one or more apertures through which light can pass, and applying one or more translucent metallic-looking layers above a top surface of the opaque layer. In some implementations, the trim is a selectively illuminable trim whereby a light source is arranged beneath a bottom surface of the substrate, the light source being configured to output light through the substrate, the one or more apertures defined by the opaque layer, and the one or more metallic-looking layers.

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 presentation system for a celebration of an individual comprising: a frame; a lighting system disposed along an inner edge of a perimeter of the frame; a fabric removably attached to the frame disposed outwardly from the lighting system adapted to be illuminated by the lighting system; an image included on the fabric associated with aspects of a subject of the celebration of the individual; and, a memorial container disposed in front of the fabric wherein the image and the memorial container cooperate to form a composite image when viewed by an audience.

A method for manufacturing laminated glass articles includes the steps of inkjet printing an image with one or more inkjet inks on a first glass sheet; jetting and at least partially curing a curable sealing agent on three edges of the first glass sheet on the side for the inkjet printed image; aligning a second glass sheet with the first glass sheet on the side of the first glass sheet carrying the at least partially cured sealing agent and the inkjet printed image; applying a liquid curable adhesive resin composition into an interspace between the first and second glass sheets; and curing the liquid curable adhesive resin composition until a solid adhesive layer is obtained.

The problem of using cames for assembling stained glass pieces into a decorative window is solved by mounting the stained glass pieces in retaining channels and by using spacers in the retaining channel for maintaining gaps between adjacent stained glass pieces. The resulting stained glass assembly includes at least two stained glass pieces mounted within a frame and being secured in at least one retaining channel that is mounted to the frame so as to extend at least partially along the inner periphery thereof; and spacers in the retaining channel between each pair of the at least two stained glass pieces that are adjacent so as to create an opened gap therebetween. Such a stained glass assembly can be used as a decorative window in a door or as a dividing wall for example.
