Title: Electroluminescent one-way vision panel
Inventor: PARRY CHRISTOPHER DAVID
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2006-07-18
Abstract: An electroluminescent (EL) one-way vision, see-through graphics panel comprises a sheet of light permeable material, typically a transparent plastic material, with a uniform electrically conductive coating. A print pattern partially covers the sheet of light permeable material, the print pattern comprising an electroluminescent ink system, to form an "EL lamp". A design is superimposed on or forms part of the print pattern, such that the design is visible from one side of the panel but is not visible from the other side of the panel. .The design can be a uniform colour but is typically a multi-colour graphic image. The EL lamp illuminates the design when subjected to an electrical current. If the light permeable material is transparent, through vision is possible from the other side of the panel through the imprinted portions of the transparent material. Typically, a dark coloured opaque mask layer, preferably black, faces in the direction of the other side of the panel, to mask the other print pattern layers and enable good through vision.

Abstract: A scene graph (40) is provided which represents data and a set of processes thus providing an enhanced approach to the previously known scene graph concept. With this approach the scene graph (40) becomes a rendering description of the data rather than a world description. Previously known scene graphs represent a structure of object and their attributes. The scene graph (40) has a notation of the traversing order, which together with the types of nodes, the nodes position, node functionality and node state determine the rendering order. Thus, any effects supported by the underlying rendering pipeline (1) can be expressed directly in the scene graph (40) by the user. An API is provided for the scene graph (40), controlling the actual rendering order and optimization to the user. The scene graph (40) is extensible allowing the user to experiment and express new rendering algorithms in the scene graph semantic.
