Licence plate adapted for internal illumination

摘要

A licence plate adapted for illumination comprises: an opaque face plate having outward-facing and inward-facing faces, and cut-out areas corresponding to numerals, letters, symbols or designs; and a translucent, heat-deformable backing plate heat-pressed against the inward-facing face of the face plate to force portions of the backing plate into the cut-out areas; such that when the licence plate is illuminated from a point inward of the backing plate, the portions of the backing plate within the cut-out areas are illuminated for viewing from a point outward of the face plate.
