Abstract

An illuminating display is provided a reflective panel (14) having a graphical image (28) formed therein. A laser is used to precisely etch the graphics pattern in an optically active surface, such as a mirrored surface (76). The graphical image is then reproduced on a paper carrier (56), and then brought into precise registration behind the laser-etched image. Upon backlighting, such as in a light box (20), the graphical image projects from the surrounding mirrored (reflecting) surface.
