Simulated neon sign

摘要

A lighted sign has a front side and a back side, and includes a planar substrate and a light source. The light source is substantially coplanar with the substrate. A distressed area reflector is formed on the substrate and redirects light from the light source out of the planar substrate. The lighted sign also includes a cover layer disposed adjacent the planar substrate toward the front side and a linear graphic that is printed on the cover layer.

1. A lighted sign having a front side and a back side, comprising:
a planar substrate; a light source substantially intersecting a plane of the substrate, wherein the light source is an LED light source formed from a plurality of light-emitting diode (LED) elements; a distressed area reflector formed at specific locations on only a portion of the planar substrate; a cover layer disposed adjacent the planar substrate toward the front side, wherein the cover layer is substantially planar and substantially continuous; and a linear graphic printed on the cover layer, wherein the linear graphic geometrically correlates to the distressed area reflector.
