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 1):
An article of manufacture, comprising:\n an electronic assembly, comprising a battery which powers one or more light emitting diodes (\u201cLEDs\u201d) and electronics; a watertight package, said watertight package comprising a first member which is sealed to a second member so as to form a cavity between the first member and the second member which holds the electronic assembly; a light effect material having an inner surface and an outer surface with a plurality of dispersive elements, said light effect material being configured so that light emitted from the one or more LEDs is dispersed by the plurality of dispersive elements so as to create a light material viewing effect; wherein the article of manufacture is configured with a transparent space created between the light effect material and the one or more LEDs; wherein the light material viewing effect is created for a viewer viewing light emitted from a given LED through a first viewing path that begins with the given LED, then goes through the transparent space, 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 given LED through a second viewing path in which the light effect material has been removed and the second viewing path begins with the given LED, then goes through the transparent space, then goes to the viewer; and 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.
