Illuminated Sign With Lamp Masks For Uniform Illumination
Neal T. Strand - Woodbury MN David G. Freier - St. Paul MN Ellen O. Aeling - St. Paul MN
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
F21V 1114
US Classification:
362224, 362223, 362237, 362240, 362248, 362351
Abstract:
An illuminated sign system provides uniform illumination over the lamp face by using partially transmissive lamp masks located between the lamps and the sign face. The sign face itself also diffusely reflects at least a majority of light incident on its second surface back towards the interior of the sign. The lamp spacing ratio in the illuminated signs can be increased, e. g. , to a ratio of 3:1 or more, and, possibly, to a ratio of 4:1 or more.

International Classification:
B32B 324
US Classification:
428137, 428343, 428913, 40564, 40579, 362 97
Abstract:
The present invention provides perforated film constructions, sign faces including the film constructions, and signs including the sign faces, all of which are capable of having one appearance under light ambient lighting conditions, and another appearance when backlit under dark ambient lighting conditions. The construction is generally planar and includes perforations that occupy, e. g. , about 10-35% of the major surfaces of the construction. The perforations are separated by an opaque land area. The back surface of the film construction in the land area (i. e. , the surface that is adapted to face the interior of the sign) reflects, e. g. , at least about 50% of normal light incident thereon.

Screen Printing Process Using Water-Based Chemical Composition
Ronald R. Adkins - Woodbury MN Charles J. Fabbrini - Stillwater Township, Washington County MN Neal T. Strand - Woodbury MN
Assignee:
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
B05D 136
US Classification:
427265
Abstract:
A method of screen printing water-based chemical compositions is provided, where the water-based chemical compositions are virtually solventless, that is, having less than 12% volatile organic solvents when press ready, and the method produces screen printed substrates that are weather-resistant and have excellent color retention.
Low-Loss Face Diffuser Films For Backlit Signage And Methods For Using Same
David G. Freier - St Paul MN Neal T. Strand - Woodbury MN Scott R. Kaytor - Minneapolis MN Frank L. Deyak - Stillwater MN
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G09F 1300 G02B 502
US Classification:
40564
Abstract:
A low-loss, diffuser film is provided for translucent surface(s) of lighted signage. The film has little absorptivity and has partial transmissivity and partial reflectivity. Luminance efficiency and brightness are significantly improved over conventional films used in backlit signage. A luminance efficiency prediction equation is also provided to aid in selection of diffuser films and interior surfaces of the lighted sign cavity. A combination of effects of diffuser films and a diffuse reflective films lining the interior surfaces of the lighted sign cavity is unexpectedly greater than their sum of effects operating alone.

Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
B32B 522
US Classification:
4283179
Abstract:
Diffuse reflective materials attached to a structure formed by thermally induced phase separation of a thermoplastic polymer and a diluent providing enhanced flexibility and reflectivity especially in the visible wavelengths of 380-730 nanometers are described. Such materials find a wide variety of application among combinations with other reflective layers. The diffuse reflective articles are useful in backlight units of liquid crystal displays, lights, copy machines, projection system displays, facsimile apparatus, electronic blackboards, diffuse white standards, photographic lights and the like.
