Abstract:
A metalized layer can be added between a light effect material and a viewer so that components creating a light material viewing effect are masked by the metalized layer when the light material viewing effect is not activated. The metalized layer, light effect material and or an article of manufacture incorporating them can be designed so that the light material viewing effect, when activated, enhances a visual design (such as artwork). The metalized layer can be incorporated into a self-contained module or be separately incorporated into an article of manufacture.

Claim (Index 18):
An article of manufacture, comprising:\n an electronic assembly, said electronic assembly comprising:\n a light emitting diode (\u201cLED\u201d) with a light emitting die that emits light when it is energized; \n a power source; \n a control device powered by the power source for controlling electric current provided to the LED; \n an electrical connector electrically connecting the control device to the LED; and \n a switch for providing a signal to the control device for turning on an electrical circuit which includes the LED, the electrical connector, the control device and the power source to cause the LED to emit light; and \n a light effect material having an outer surface and an inner surface; and a transparent spacing layer proximate the inner surface; wherein the transparent spacing layer maintains the light effect material at a preselected distance from the LED and the light emitting die is substantially parallel to the light effect material so that light emitted from the light emitting die is dispersed by the light effect material so as to create a light material viewing effect; wherein the light material viewing effect is created for a viewer viewing light emitted from the light emitting die through a first viewing path that begins with the light emitting die, then goes through the transparent spacing layer, then goes through the inner surface, then goes through the outer surface, then goes to the viewer; wherein a non-light material viewing effect is created for the viewer viewing light emitted from the light emitting die through a second viewing path in which the light effect material has been removed and the second viewing path begins with the light emitting die, then goes through the transparent spacing layer, then goes to the viewer; wherein the viewer perceives the light material viewing effect to extend over a wider area than the non-light material viewing effect when the first viewing path and the second viewing path have an identical preselected distance; and wherein the electronic assembly, the light effect material and the transparent spacing layer are incorporated into the article of manufacture.
