Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacture of a reproduction with effect of luminescence, as well as such reproduction.
  • GB-A-2 147 542 a method is described according to which the image is formed directly by the material luminescent or according to a variant in applying on the luminescent material a layer of a opaque material.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to allow achieve in luminescence reproduction all types of images such as photographic images, drawings techniques, works of artists, artificial images, logos, texts, wood texture effects, stones, metal, fabrics, liquids, plants, etc. These reproductions are made with a very good quality of detail, sharpness, contrast and hues while allowing the luminescent image to have a very good intensity and a longer duration to that of the current state of the art.
  • the advantage of the method according to the invention is that it allows print any type of image while retaining its finesse, that is to say its nuances, shades, its details, that the impression is in your continuous, for example by laser, or photographic positive or negative, to get a quality photographic, or in very fine screen, for example in offset, or solid, for example in screen printing.
  • the condition is that this impression is transparent and made on one or more surfaces allowing the light so that the luminescent material can be reached by light to store so optimal light energy, when it is a photoluminescent material, and above all allow said energy to be restored by the emission light of the product through reproduction and said surfaces.
  • the luminescent material is, well heard, preferably photoluminescent, but others materials that can be charged by other energies, such as electric power, can be used.
  • the luminescent product having a color which harms the quality of reproduction, a transparent filter adequate must be provided. This filter can be either a film placed on the film with the luminescent product, either be incorporated directly into the film with the luminescent material.
  • the image is printed directly on the film with the material luminescent incorporating the filter, the surface on which image is printed being always a surface allowing light to pass through.
  • the image is printed on a transparent support which is then affixed to the film comprising the luminescent material and on which the filter is affixed.
  • the image is also printed on a transparent support which is affixed on the film comprising the luminescent material and the filtered.
  • the image or parts of the image juxtaposed or superimposed is printed on two different surfaces allowing passage the light thus allowing to obtain an effect of depth and, if necessary, a relief effect.
  • part of the image for example the background
  • print part of the image on the filter and the other on a transparent support or even print a part of the image on the film including the material luminescent and the filter and a transparent support.
  • printing on the support transparent could also be made on both sides, totally or partially creating a relief effect in addition to depth. If superimposed parts of the image are printed on different surfaces and different colors in depending on the viewing angle, the superposition of colors will also change the color of the reproduction.
  • the invention also relates to reproductions obtained by implementing the method according to the invention.
  • a luminescent reproduction is characterized by the fact that it is composed of a film comprising luminescent material, a filter transparent and an image printed on at least one surface allowing light to pass through.
  • the image is printed totally or partly juxtaposed and / or superimposed on two different surfaces letting the light thus creating an effect of depth and, where appropriate, relief.
  • the reproduction can include a simple screen transparent protection, including protection against ultraviolet radiation.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of a reproduction according to an alternative embodiment.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic section of a reproduction according to another variant.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic reproduction section according to another variant.
  • a image 2 is reproduced on a transparent support 1 and a film 4 incorporating a luminescent product and more specially photoluminescent is applied to the support 1, either on the same side as the printed image, or the other.
  • a filter 3 in the form of a film allowing to attenuate the effects of the color of photoluminescent material is inserted between the support 1 and the film 4.
  • the filter 3 can be directly incorporated into film 4 with the product photoluminescent.
  • a film backscatter 5 is applied to the back of film 4 with the photoluminescent product to allow optimize the photoluminous emission by the backscattering of the luminescence of the product of the photoluminescent material, the filter being either affixed on the luminescent material, or incorporated into said material.
  • Support 1 must have excellent transparency in order to allow optimal passage, hand, daylight and / or artificial light allowing photoluminescent material to store energy and, on the other hand, to allow the light emission of the photoluminescent product.
  • the support can be smooth or embossed, shiny or matt, tinted or not. Different materials can be used, in particular polypropylene and polyester. One of the factors to consider when choosing of the material is the quality of protection UV radiation of the material and its compatibility with other components of reproduction. This protection and compatibility will guarantee good and long reproductive stability regarding its sharpness, details, colors ...
  • the applicant has made good reproductions in using supports whose thickness is included between 80 and 120 microns.
  • Reproduction 2 i.e. the printed image, must have a good transparency in order to let pass light in both directions.
  • the print mode will be chosen according to possibilities of transparency of inks, fineness and compatibility with others components of photoluminous reproduction.
  • the Applicant Obtained Excellent Reproductions when the print thickness was less than 10 microns.
  • a filter 3 more or less tinted and having excellent transparency should be created to reduce and correct the effects of color luminescent material on the rendering of the reproduction.
  • This filter must be of excellent transparency so as not to alter the sharpness, contrast, the nuances of the hues of the reproduction when reflecting daylight and / or artificial and photoluminous emission, i.e. contribute to obtaining an image as faithful as possible.
  • the transparency of the filter is also necessary to preserve performance as much as possible of luminescence of photoluminous reproduction.
  • the image can be printed directly on the filter, for example by thermal transfer or offset, or serigraphy, or on the film incorporating the luminescent material and filter.
  • the surface on which the image will be printed is perfectly homogeneous and smooth and lets the light, if only to allow radiation emission of the luminescent material.
  • the filter affixed to the luminescent material creates a surface transparent ready to receive any type of print direct or the media on which the image was printed or a protective screen.
  • the filter is an interface of cohesion between the luminescent material and one of the previously mentioned elements for a faithful rendering of the image and the color attenuation of the material luminescent.
  • Different techniques for creating the filter can be considered such as applying a thin film or inserting the filter directly into the luminescent material.
  • the choice of the manufacture of the filter, the material, the concentration rate and thickness will be defined depending on the desired images and results and the effect of reflection obtained by day as well as the effect of luminescence obtained at night.
  • the film comprising luminescent material 4 and more precisely photoluminescent in general must be prepared in such a way that the characteristics of the luminescent pigment are not altered in order to guarantee a product with a silky intensity, luminescence duration and stability in the times that are optimal.
  • the luminescent product layer can be carried out in particular by applying a film luminescent or the use of luminescent plates.
  • a luminescent film with at a good preparation of the luminescent material according to the means known to those skilled in the art is often the best solution.
  • the latter solution achieves very good results luminescent, to vary very precisely and rational the characteristics of intensity and duration of the luminescence properties of the layers bright, and to vary very rational and specifies the characteristics of flexibility or rigidity of the luminescent layers, as well as those of the luminescent effect reproductions.
  • this embodiment allows also to greatly alleviate the problems of mechanical tensions, i.e. contraction, expansion during thermal shock that the product can undergo.
  • the advantage of using a film containing the luminescent material instead of a plate is its exact fit to format required for reproduction, thus minimizing losses as much as possible and waste.
  • backscatter film 5 must be applied on the back of the luminescent product.
  • the film of backscatter is a mirror or is tinted white it is homogeneous and as opaque as possible. This allows optimize the light emission by the backscattering of the luminescence of the material luminescent through the different layers found above the luminescent material
  • Backscatter film can be obtained from different ways known to those skilled in the art such than applying a film or printing a film.
  • the use of a rigid film, mirror or tinted white offers the advantage of stiffen luminescent reproduction.
  • an embodiment which has proven to be of good quality is to perform a luminescent reproduction 2 by printing the image with the laser technique, said reproduction 2 being made integral by the technique of thermofusion (hot Melt) on the internal face of the support transparent 1.
  • thermofusion hot Melt
  • the application of a filter 3 in the form of a thin film between 50 and 150 microns on the internal face of the support is also made integral by the thermofusion technique (hot Melt) and with the application of a luminescent product in the form a film of about 300 microns on the external face of the filter also made integral by thermofusion.
  • a backscatter film is applied by opaque white screen printing on the face external of the photoluminescent product.
  • the invention allows good photoluminous reproduction both at the level of diversity than image quality.
  • the image can be printed at choice, totally or partially on one or several different surfaces such as: both surfaces of a transparent support, the filter or the film with the luminescent material incorporating the filter.
  • Printing can be done directly, offset, laser, serigraphy, "pad printing", etc. or indirect (Thermal transfer).
  • figure 3 is similar to that of Figure 1, except that a third element, namely a backscatter film 5 is also provided.
  • Luminescent reproductions may be produced double-sided, without departing from the scope of the present invention, either by producing, according to the invention, two reproductions that are assembled back to back, either by using a luminescent film common to two films thus saving material and rationalization of production.
  • the luminescent reproductions thus produced can be used in fields too multiple than varied, for example advertising, watchmaking, jewelry, tourism, games, etc.
  • the reproduction can be conditioned under a multitude in shape, for example as a key ring, badges, t-shirt, caps, watch faces, frames, bracelets, etc.
