Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Leuchtbild mit wenigstens einem Bildträger, einem Rahmen und einer Hintergrundbeleuchtung.The invention relates to a luminous image with at least one image carrier, one Frame and a backlight.

Wandbilder, wie zum Beispiel Poster, Kunstdrucke, Fotografien etc., deren besondere dekorative Ausgestaltung darin besteht, daß ein transparenter Bildträger mit flächiger Hintergrundbeleuchtung verwendet wird, sind weit verbreitet. Bekannt ist es auch, auf dem Bildträger einzelne Lichtelemente anzubringen, die mit dem dargestellten Motiv in Beziehung stehen.Murals, such as posters, art prints, photographs, etc., their special decorative design is that a transparent image carrier Backlighting is widely used. It is also known to mount individual light elements on the image carrier, which are related to the motif shown.

Die DE 297 14 705 schlägt eine Leuchtdiodenbeleuchtung für Wandbilder, Kunstdrucke etc., vor, bei der einzelne Leuchtdioden entweder auf der Rückseite eines transparenten Bildträgers angebracht werden oder in entsprechende Bohrungen auf dem Bildträger eingesetzt werden. Bei diesen vorbekannten Leuchtbildern ist nachteilig, daß mit einzelnen, mehr oder weniger punktförmigen Leuchtmitteln eine flächige Hintergrundbeleuchtung des Bildes nicht möglich ist. Des weiteren bedeutet die gezielte Plazierung und Verdrahtung einzelner Leuchtelemente einen erheblichen Fertigungs- und Kostenaufwand. Aus dem gleichen Grund ist die Gesamtzahl der Lichtelemente, die sich mit vertretbarem Aufwand auf einem Bild anbringen lassen, auf etwa 30 bis 50 beschränkt.DE 297 14 705 proposes LED lighting for wall pictures, Art prints, etc., in front of which individual light-emitting diodes either on the Back of a transparent image carrier can be attached or in appropriate holes are used on the image carrier. With these Known luminous images is disadvantageous that with individual, more or less point-shaped illuminants provide a flat backlight for the image not possible. Furthermore, the targeted placement means and Wiring individual lighting elements a significant manufacturing and Expense. For the same reason, the total number of light elements which can be attached to a picture with reasonable effort, to about 30 limited to 50.

Dementsprechend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Leuchtbild zu dekorativen Zwecken zu schaffen, das sich durch eine Anordnung von einzelnen am Bildmotiv orientierten Leuchtelementen auf dem Bildträger auszeichnet, wobei das Bild mit möglichst geringem Fertigungsaufwand herstellbar sein soll und wobei insbesondere auf einzelne elektrische Leuchtmittel auf dem Bildträger verzichtet werden soll.Accordingly, the present invention is based on the object Illuminated image for decorative purposes to create an arrangement of individual lighting elements on the image carrier oriented to the image motif distinguished, the image with the least possible manufacturing effort should be producible and in particular on individual electrical Illuminants on the image carrier should be dispensed with.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Leuchtbild der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß in dem Bildträger lichtdurchlässige Ausnehmungen eingebracht sind.This is achieved in the case of a luminous image of the type mentioned at the outset solved that translucent recesses are made in the image carrier.

Bei den lichtdurchlässigen Ausnehmungen kann es sich um Anbohrungen oder Durchbohrungen des Bildträgers handeln. Auf diese Weise ergeben sich punktuelle, leuchtende Bildelemente, deren Durchmesser weniger als 1 mm aber auch mehrere Millimeter betragen kann. Des weiteren ist es möglich, auf dem Bildträger linienartige oder auch flächige lichtdurchlässige Ausfräsungen anzubringen. Gemäß der Erfindung lassen sich Leuchtbilder realisieren, bei denen die ohnehin vorhandene Hintergrundbeleuchtung mittels der lichtdurchlässigen Ausnehmungen dafür genutzt wird, beliebig gestaltbare punktuelle, linienartige oder flächige Leuchtelemente in den Bildträger einzubringen. Die Herstellung derartiger Leuchtbilder ist mit geringstem Fertigungsaufwand zu bewerkstelligen. Da vollständig auf einzelne elektrische Leuchtmittel auf dem Bildträger verzichtet werden kann, ist der Kostenaufwand bei der Herstellung minimal. Auf elektrische Leuchtmittel kann vollständig verzichtet werden, wenn für die Hintergrundbeleuchtung Tageslicht verwendet wird.The translucent recesses can be tapped holes or Act through holes in the image carrier. In this way, punctual, luminous picture elements whose diameter is less than 1 mm can also be several millimeters. Furthermore it is possible on the Line-like or flat translucent cut-outs should be attached. According to the invention, luminous images can be realized in which the already existing backlighting by means of the translucent Recesses is used for this, punctiform, line-like design or to introduce flat lighting elements into the image carrier. The production Such luminous images can be produced with the least manufacturing effort accomplish. Since completely on individual electrical lamps on the Image carrier can be dispensed with, is the cost of production minimal. There is no need for electrical lamps if daylight is used for the backlight.

Blinklichter oder Lauflichter lassen sich mit geringem Aufwand auf dem Bildträger realisieren, indem z. B. die lichtdurchlässigen Ausnehmungen von beweglichen, lichtundurchlässigen Masken mechanisch verdeckt werden. Denkbar ist es auch, die Ausnehmungen mit einem geeigneten Leuchtmittel gezielt wechselnd zu beleuchten.Flashing lights or running lights can be easily attached to the image carrier realize by z. B. the translucent recesses of movable, opaque masks are mechanically covered. Conceivable it is also targeted to the recesses with a suitable illuminant to illuminate alternately.

Zur farblichen Gestaltung der leuchtenden Bildelemente ist es zweckmäßig, die Ausnehmungen mit farbigen, transparenten Füllungen zu versehen. Hierzu eignen sich insbesondere leuchtende, fluoreszierende Farben. Bei der Herstellung von erfindungsgemäßen Leuchtbildern verwendet man zweckmäßigerweise für die Verfüllung der lichtdurchlässigen Ausnehmungen flüssige, schnell trocknende Lacke, welche die Ausnehmungen dicht verschließen, ohne vor dem Aushärten in das Bildträgermaterial einzudringen. Eine vorteilhafte optische Wirkung läßt sich dadurch erzielen, daß dem transparenten Lack fluoreszierende oder phosphoreszierende Farbstoffe zugesetzt werden. Im letzteren Fall ergibt sich eine Nachleuchtwirkung, die noch für einige Zeit nach dem Wegfall der Hintergrundbeleuchtung andauert.For the color design of the luminous picture elements, it is advisable To provide recesses with colored, transparent fillings. For this bright fluorescent colors are particularly suitable. In the preparation of Illuminated images according to the invention are expediently used for the filling of the translucent recesses, liquid, quick-drying Varnishes that close the recesses tightly without the Cure penetrate into the image carrier material. An advantageous optical effect can be achieved in that the transparent lacquer fluorescent or phosphorescent dyes can be added. In the latter case results an afterglow effect that persists for some time after the Backlight continues.

Als Bildträger können Poster, Foto, Kunstdruck oder Seekarten verwendet werden. Derartige Bildträger bestehen in der Regel aus lichtdurchlässigem Papier oder aus Karton, was sich in idealer Weise für ein Leuchtbild gemäß der Erfindung eignet. Für die Herstellung von Leuchtbildern ist im Handel eine praktisch unbegrenzte Auswahl an Motiven und Formaten verfügbar. Je nach Gestaltungsart des Leuchtbildes können die genannten Bildträger auch auf Unterlagen wie Holz- oder Hartfaserplatten aufgezogen werden. Falls eine flächige Hintergrundbeleuchtung gewünscht wird, eignen sich transparente Materialien wie Acryl oder Glas als Unterlagen.Posters, photos, art prints or nautical charts can be used as image carriers become. Such image carriers usually consist of translucent Paper or cardboard, which is ideal for a luminous image according to the Invention is suitable. One is commercially available for the production of illuminated pictures practically unlimited selection of motifs and formats available. Depending on The design of the illuminated image can also be based on the image carriers mentioned Documents such as wood or hardboard are mounted. If one Flat backlighting is required, transparent ones are suitable Materials such as acrylic or glass as documents.

Eine besonders eindrucksvolle optische Wirkung ergibt sich bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Leuchtbild mit flächiger Hintergrundbeleuchtung, wenn der Bildträger auch in seinen Flächenbereichen außerhalb der Ausnehmungen lichtdurchlässig ist und aus wenigstens zwei identischen Bildträgerlagen besteht, die deckungsgleich übereinander auf eine lichtdurchlässige Unterlage aufgebracht sind. Dadurch wird die Lichtundurchlässigkeit der dunklen Bildelemente gesteigert, so daß eine deutliche Verbesserung der Hell-Dunkel-Kontraste des von hinten beleuchteten Bildes erzielt wird. Die Lichtintensität wird auf der gesamten Bildfläche gleichmäßig verringert, so daß die durch die lichtdurchlässigen Ausnehmungen geschaffenen leuchtenden Bildelemente stärker hervorgehoben werden. Zusätzlich ergibt sich für die farbigen Bildflächen eine verbesserte Farbsättigung. In diesem Fall eignen sich als Unterlage für die Bildträger transparente Materialien wie Glas oder Acryl. Opake lichtdurchlässige oder opaleszierende Unterlagen eignen sich besonders, da hierdurch eine gleichmäßige Hintergrundbeleuchtung unterstützt wird.A particularly impressive visual effect results from the Illuminated image according to the invention with flat backlighting when the Image carrier also in its surface areas outside the recesses is translucent and consists of at least two identical image carrier layers consists of one on top of the other on a translucent surface are upset. This will make the darkness opaque Image elements increased so that a clear improvement in light-dark contrasts of the back-lit image. The light intensity is evenly reduced over the entire image area so that the translucent recesses created luminous picture elements be emphasized more. In addition there is for the colored picture areas an improved color saturation. In this case, are suitable as a base for the Image carriers transparent materials such as glass or acrylic. Opaque translucent or opalescent underlays are particularly suitable because uniform backlight is supported.

Eine für die erfindungsgemäßen Leuchtbilder zweckmäßige Hintergrundbeleuchtung läßt sich durch ein Leuchtmittel realisieren, welches in einem Kasten mit lichtreflektierenden Innenwänden angeordnet ist. Dadurch, daß die Seitenwände und die Rückwand des Kastens mit lichtreflektierendem Material ausgekleidet sind, läßt sich eine gleichmäßige Hintergrundbeleuchtung erzielen, auch wenn nur ein einzelnes Leuchtmittel verwendet wird. Zusammenwirkend mit der weißen Rückseite des Bildträgers ergibt sich im Inneren des Kastens eine mehrfache Lichtreflektion, so daß auch die Randbereiche des Bildes ausreichend beleuchtet werden.An expedient for the luminous images according to the invention Backlighting can be realized by a lamp that is in a box with light-reflecting inner walls is arranged. Thereby, that the side walls and the back wall of the box with light reflecting Material are lined, uniform backlighting can be achieved achieve, even if only a single lamp is used. Interacting with the white back of the picture carrier results in the interior of the Box a multiple light reflection, so that the edge areas of the Sufficiently illuminated.

Vorteilhafterweise kann der Kasten derart gestaltet werden, daß seine Außenwände zur Einrahmung des Bildträgers dienen.Advantageously, the box can be designed so that its External walls serve to frame the picture carrier.
