Light transmissive bendable wood panel

摘要

A light transmissive bendable wood panel provides a wood panel that may be finished in a similar manner to traditional wood panels, but is light transmissive to allow the light transmissive bendable wood panel to be illuminated. The light transmissive bendable wood panel may be formed with a bendable substrate to allow various curves or other shapes to be formed. The light transmissive bendable wood panel may comprise a face layer having a permeable backing to ensure full adhesion with the substrate. A back layer may be provided to stabilize the light transmissive bendable wood panel and prevent curling, cupping, and delaminating. The light transmissive bendable wood panel may be backlit or edge lit. One or more illuminated designs may be formed in a face layer of the light transmissive bendable wood panel.

主权项

1. A light transmissive bendable wood panel comprising:
a light transmissive bendable non-wood substrate having a planer shape and a first side and a second side; a face layer made of wood and having a reduced thickness to allow light to pass through; a backing attached to a inwardly facing side of the face layer, the backing comprising a planar permeable material, wherein a first adhesive extends between the bendable substrate and the face layer and through the backing to attach the face layer to the first side of the bendable substrate; and a back layer made of wood attached to the second side of the bendable substrate with a second adhesive, the back layer also having a reduced thickness to allow light to pass through; wherein the first and second adhesives are different.
