Description

NEON LIGHT DISPLAY SYSTEM
[1] In an embodiment of a Display system JJghting system, at least a display screen or a display frame is equipped with printed or painted polymer films, which is to display a variety of images, writings, patterns, etc. such as a point, a linear, a surface and a volume, as a lighting system or display system in neon colours, indoors and outdoors, designed.
[2] The fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds in printed or painted forms, on surfaces of polymer films, which assembled on at least a surface of a display screen (or on a display frame), by the lighting sources with a light spectrum of 320-495 nm, are automatically (fluorescent compounds) or after cutting off the flow of lighting sources (phosphorescent compounds), are capable to emitting light and brightness in neon colours.
[3] This Display system Lighting system in different geometric shapes is capable of displaying different scales and a variety of printed and painted contents in neon colours, in point, linear, surface and volume forms.
[4] The main components of this Display system Lighting system are display screen (or display frame), printed or painted polymer films which are on at least a surface of a display screen (or on a display frame) assembled, fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds and non- fluorescent and non-phosphorous compounds or paints and dyes and the lighting sources for lighting of polymer films surfaces.
[5] To build an image display or lighting system in neon colours, at first the dimensions of the designs and special stencil screens determined and built then the desired designs on polymer films surfaces will be printed or painted, which are finally on the desired surfaces of the display screen (or on a display frame) assembled and by lighting sources with a light spectrum of 320-495 nm illuminated.
[6] In general, design of printing and painting images and create special lighting effects to display on polymer films in neon colours, will be the fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds used.
[7] A variety of hand paintings on surfaces of polymer films, with fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds by painting equipments and tools are performed.
[8] Also, any printing in non-fluorescent and non-fluorescent compounds and paints, depending on production volume, is done by printing machines or silk screen and stencil and then the unprinted sections will be printed with fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds by silk screen and stencil method.
[9] Printing other variety of non-fluorescent and non-phosphorescent compounds such as velvet powder and etc. (For beauty or blocking the passage of light source beams from surfaces of polymer films, which are assembled on at least a surface of a display screen or a display frame) along with fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds, on surfaces of polymer films, is performed by silk screen and stencil methods.
[10] Instead of printing a variety of non-fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds and paints on surfaces of assembled polymer films, it is possible to use any colourful polymer film and any type of polymer film which are except in claim no. 3.
[11] As a display screen, will be types of polymer films used, which produced in major industrial methods and based on polyolefins, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate and ethyl vinyl alcohol, their derivatives and grades or with additives (to create or enhance the required properties).
[12] Also, these polymer films are synthetic, with maximum thickness of 0.3 Millimeters, with different qualities of transparency and light transmittance, with different qualities of stretching and structural and functional features, with at least 10% ability to pass the light from itself, in adhesive and non-adhesive back forms, such as transparent and milky translucent surfaces and coloured transparent and translucent surfaces with visible lights spectrum of 320 _ 495 nm, in opaque and glossy forms.
[13] The fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds, which will be for printing or painting on the surface of the polymer films used, include resin, solvent, powder and additives.
[14] The resin, which is used inside the fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds, is transparent and translucent and based specially on PVC, polypropylene, polyethylene and alkyd oil solvents)
[15] The Powders are pigments and fine grains organic, semi-organic and inorganic phosphorescent and fluorescent.
[16] A variety of complementary and strengthening additives or fillers with special benefits can also be added to any of the fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds.
[17] The resin's base and its own solvent, inside the fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds, proportional to dominant material of base of raw materials of the polymer films, is used from polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene and polyethylene and alkyd oil solvents.
[18] For example, if the polymer film, which be as a display screen for a display system or lighting system used, is based on PVC or its derivatives or compounds, especially for printing or painting on its surfaces, will be used compounds with polyvinyl chloride oil solvent bases.
[19] Because the polymer film's raw materials base with the resin of fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds, has a more significant adaptation to the shelf-life of compounds on the surfaces of polymer film, however for printing or painting on the surfaces of PVC-based polymer films, other solvent-based resin such as polypropylene, polyethylene and alkyd oil can also be used. [20] Also, for polymer films, which made with polyethylene and polypropylene foundations, respectively are used compounds with polyethylene and polypropylene solvent base.
[21] For other types of polymer films with other polymer bases or the ones which have excessive impurities in their manufacturing compounds, the fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds with polypropylene or alkyd oil solvents will be used, which can be stable and durable on the surfaces of almost all polymer films.
[22] Other types of fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds, which are based on other non-oil or oil solvent (such as products of a variety of corporate brands) and printable on surfaces of polymer films, are used.
[23] One of the advantages of using the polymer films, is their quality in transmission of lighting source's light beams through the surfaces of polymer films; so the higher quality of light transmission through the surfaces of polymer films, it’s going to be the higher output brightness of fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds, which by the lighting sources are lighting.
[24] underweight, availability and flexibility and high printing capability, are other advantages of the features of using the polymer films as display screen.
[25] Other significant advantages of the polymer films in this display system_ lighting system, are the ability to select a wide range of films and to determine the structural shape of the raw materials for the production of films to create the desired special features (anti-UV properties, tensile strength properties, etc.) and proportional to the structure of these films, brings wide use of a variety of fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds in printing or painting on the surfaces of polymer films.
[26] Printing with fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds, on surfaces of polymer films, is completely done by silk screen and stencil method.
[27] Screen printing is a more advanced method of printing with stencil screen and the process of transferring a stencilled design onto a flat surface using a mesh screen, paint, fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds and a squeegee. Fabric and paper are the most commonly screen-printed surfaces, but with specialized fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds it’s also possible to print on to polymer films. The basic method involves creating a stencil on a fine mesh screen, and then pushing fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds (or paint, in some cases) through to create an imprint of your design on the surface beneath.
[28] The silk screen in silk screen printing is a metal or wooden frame with a fine mesh fabric stretched over the top. Traditionally, this mesh was crafted from silk thread, but nowadays this has been superseded by polyester fabrics, which offer the same performance for a lower price. The thickness and thread count of the mesh can be chosen to suit the texture of a surface being printed, with smaller spaces between threads allowing for greater detail in the print. [29] Once the screen has been coated in emulsion and exposed, it is ready to be used as a stencil. After the screen printing process has finished, it can be washed and re-used.
[30] The process is sometimes called 'silk screening' or 'silk screen printing' and while the actual printing process is always fairly similar, the way the stencil is created can vary, depending on the materials used. Different stencilling techniques include:
[31] Using masking tape or vinyl to cover the desired areas of the screen.
[32] Painting the stencil onto the mesh using 'screen blockers' such as glue or lacquer.
[33] Using a light-sensitive emulsion to create a stencil, this is then developed in a similar way to a photograph.
[34] Designs made using the screen printing technique may use just one shade of fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds or several. In the case of multicoloured items, the colours must be applied in individual layers, using separate stencils for each compound of fluorescent and phosphorescent.
[35] When carried out using professional equipment by an experienced printer, it's also possible to create intricate multicoloured designs. While the complexity of the process does mean there's a limit to the number of colours the printer can use, it does allow for more intense colouring than is possible to achieve with digital printing alone.
[36] There are different methods of screen printing, but they all involve the same basic technique. The form of printing it'll explained about below uses a special light-reactive emulsion to create a custom stencil; this tends to be the most popular type of commercial printing, as it can be used to make intricate stencils.
[37] To start, the printer takes the design, which wanted to create on surface of a polymer film, and prints it out onto a transparent acetate film. This will be used to create the stencil.
[38] Next, the printer will choose a mesh screen to suit the complexity of the design, and the polymer film being printed. The mesh screen is then coated with a layer of light-reactive emulsion, which will harden when developed under bright light.
[39] The acetate sheet featuring the design is then laid onto the emulsion-coated screen, and the whole thing is exposed to a very bright light. The light hardens the emulsion, so the parts of the screen which are covered by the design remain in liquid form.
[40] If the final design is going to include more than one colour, then a separate screen must be used to apply each layer of fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds. To create multi coloured products, the printer must use his skill to design each stencil, and line them up perfectly to ensure the final design is seamless.
[41] After the screen has been exposed for a set time, the areas of the screen not covered by the design will have turned hard. Any unhardened emulsion is then carefully rinsed away. This leaves a clear imprint of the design on the screen for the fluorescent or phosphorescent compounds to pass through.
[42] The screen is then dried, and the printer will make any necessary touch-ups or corrections to make the imprint as accurate as possible to the original design. The stencil is now ready to be used.
[43] The screen is then placed on the printing press. The polymer film being printed is laid down flat onto the printing board, underneath the screen.
[44] While it is possible to screen print with just a mesh screen and a squeegee, most printers prefer to use a press, as it allows them to print lots of items more efficiently. This is because the press holds the screen in place between prints, making it easier for the user to swap out the polymer films being printed.
[45] There are three types of press: manual, semi-automatic, and automatic. Manual presses are operated by hand, meaning they’re quite labour intensive. Semi-automatic presses are partially mechanised, but still require human input to swap over the items being pressed, while automatic presses are completely automated and require little to no input.
[46] Businesses that need to print items in large quantities will normally use a semi- or fully automatic press, as this allows faster, more efficient printing and minimises mistakes. Smaller companies, or those who do screen printing as a hobby, might find that a manual table-top press (sometimes called a 'handbench' press) is better suited to their needs.
[47] There are a number of different presses, including manual and automatic styles, but most modern commercial printers will use an automatic rotary carousel printer, as this allows several different screens to work at once. For multicoloured prints, this sort of printer can also be used to apply the separate colour layers in quick succession.
[48] The screen is lowered down onto the printing board. Fluorescent or phosphorescent compounds are added to the top end of the screen, and a squeegee is used to pull the fluorescent or phosphorescent compounds along the full length of the screen. This presses the fluorescent or phosphorescent compounds through the open areas of the stencil, imprinting the design on the polymer film underneath.
[49] The Fluorescent or phosphorescent compounds or paint is pushed through the mesh screen and onto the item being printed, transferring a coloured imprint of the stencil design onto the surface of polymer film.
[50] A squeegee is a rubber blade attached to a long wooden, metal or plastic handle. It’s used to push the Fluorescent or phosphorescent compound through the mesh screen and onto the surface being printed. The printer will usually pick a squeegee that is a similar size to the frame of the screen, as this will give better coverage. [51] Once all the items have been printed and the stencil has served its purpose, the emulsion is removed using a special washing fluid so the mesh can be reused to create new stencils.
[52] One of the reasons that the screen printing technique is used is because it produces vivid colours (especially in neon colours). The fluorescent and phosphorescent compound or paint also lies in layers on the surface of the polymer films, which gives the print a pleasingly tactile quality.
[53] The technique allows the printer to easily reproduce a design multiple times. Because the same stencil can be used to replicate a design again and again, it's very useful for creating multiple copies of the same printed polymer films.
[54] After printing the desired designs on the polymer films, the surface of the printed polymer film will be protected by anti-UV films, cellophane, laminate or nonmaterial to blocking the sun's UV rays outdoors.
[55] Then it is time to install and assemble this polymer film on surfaces of at least one display screen (or on a display frame) to be lighted by lighting sources.
[56] The polymer films which designed and produced by the expert are installed and assembled on the desired surfaces of at least one display screen (or on a display frame), tailored to the geometric shapes of the display screen, in the vicinity, opposite or exposed to lighting sources.
[57] The display screen is a part of display system, which with any dimensions, thickness, weight, design and a variety of geometric shapes (such as Smooth and flat surfaces, squares, circles, cylinders, butter, cubes, etc.) and generally with a variety of physical specifications, softly flexible and hard and in form of light-passing and non-light-passing, its task is to maintain and stabilize the printed or painted polymer films in fixed and animated or hanging forms.
[58] This display system consists of two main categories as light-passing and non-light-passing display screens. Light-passing surfaces, which are with at least 10% ability to pass the light from itself, include a variety of transparent and milky translucent surfaces and coloured transparent and translucent surfaces with visible lights spectrum of 320 _ 495 nm and non light-passing surfaces include a variety of different matte surfaces.
[59] A variety of light-passing surfaces are for example backlight papers, polyester and PVC backlight fabrics, a variety of polymer bases films, which be used in membrane structures for roof and wall coverings of buildings, Plexiglas, talc, nylon, polycarbonate, glass, etc.
[60] A variety of non-light-passing surfaces, are for example a variety of stone, wood, metal, etc, and everything which has surfaces in different matt colours. Some of polymer films can tailored to its own geometric shapes, at least on a display frame, is assembled. For example, a variety of stretch PVC films, which are used as stretch ceilings, wall coverings, lighting players, displays, creative shapes, volumetric shapes, billboards and a variety of other applications. [61] In general, the lighting of the polymer films or display screen surfaces (on which its surfaces are the polymer films assembled) in every display system, proportional to the light-passing or non-light-passing the display screen and the conditions for lighting the contents of the surfaces of the polymer films, by the lighting sources of 320 - 495 nm (with the spectrum of ultraviolet, purple, blue, indigo and any other colour in this range) with different electrical power and voltages in point, linear and surface and volume forms and in the form of backlight or front light or sidelight is provided.
[62] Illuminating of light-passing display screens and polymer films with claim specifications no. 4, are done in backlight, front light or sidelight forms and the illuminating of non-light-passing display screen and polymer films, which one of their surfaces, is non-light passing (such as polymer mesh films, one side of which is coated with dark materials or colours), is done as front light and sidelight.
[63] The thickness of the printed layers of fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds on the surfaces of polymer films, are uniform, thin and resistant; so the lower thickness and higher quality of the printed layer on surface of polymer film, it’s going to be the higher output brightness of fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds, which by the lighting sources are lighting.
[64] By starting the illuminating of surfaces the printed and painted polymer films, in form of backlight or front light or sidelight, the fluorescent compounds start to illuminating and the phosphorescent compounds begin to receiving and saving the lighting source's energy, the surfaces of polymer films, which have non-florescent and non-phosphorescent compounds or paints ( to explain better, to create a difference between brightness tellers and to display better the brightness of the illuminated surfaces) have served its purpose to prevent light beams passing through the surfaces of polymer films.
[65] A Display system Lighting system with at least one light-passing display screen (in different colours) in different dimensions and shapes (a display screen or display frame, which has the printed or painted polymer films with fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds) or by embedding at least one light-passing display screen in front of lighting sources with a light spectrum of 320 _ 495 nm, is called as a lighting system in neon colours.
[66] A Display system Lighting system with at least one display screen in different dimensions and shapes (a display screen or display frame, which has the printed or painted polymer films with fluorescent and phosphor cent compounds) or by embedding at least one display screen which be illuminated by lighting sources with a light spectrum of 320 _ 495 nm, in backlight, front light and sidelight forms, is called as a display system in neon colours.
[67] This Display system Lighting system can be used as a variety of display panels ‘billboards and any kind of light source of light transmitters in different neon colours and can be replaced with any display and lighting system with lighting sources in a range of white, yellow and any variety of lighting sources other than the light spectrum 320 _ 495.
[68] Currently, a variety of neon gas lamps, strings of lamps in neon colours and electroluminescence technology have serve a purpose to display contents in neon colours, which have limitations such as the thickness of lighting surfaces, like: (light beam), construction and creation restrictions, that’s include: (the volume of shapes and images intended to be displayed with the spectrum of neon lights), assembly and use in specific spaces in the air or underwater advertising with different shapes and sizes in performance and application as lighting and display sources.
[69] It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments illustrate rather than limit the invention, and that those skilled in the art will be able to design many alternative embodiments without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
[70] In the claims, any reference signs placed between parentheses shall not be construed as limiting the claim. Use of the verb "comprise" and its conjugations does not exclude the presence of elements or steps other than those stated in a claim. The article "a" or "an" preceding an element does not exclude the presence of a plurality of such elements. The invention may be implemented by means of hardware comprising several distinct elements. In the device claim enumerating several means, several of these means may be embodied by one and the same item of hardware. The mere fact that certain measures are recited in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate that a combination of these measures cannot be used to advantage.
