Benefits of technology
The patent describes an illuminated plate that can be used as a license plate or dealer plate. It includes a base sheet, an electroluminescent sheet for illumination, a transparent background sheet with openings shaped like characters, transparent or translucent character inserts fixed in the openings, and a clear cover sheet for protection. The background sheet and character inserts can have different transparent colors and shades. The illuminated plate has good weatherproofing, increased visibility, and durability, with a strong light brillance. Overall, it provides a unique approach to vehicle identification and increased safety, and can be seamlessly incorporated into existing production systems.
Problems solved by technology
This type of license plate is easy to monitor during the daytime, but can be rather challenging to view or check during the nighttime.
Incandescent lights are used as the conventional license plate lights, but do not provide sufficient intensity of illumination to readily recognize the license plate number at night from a distance, particularly while the vehicle is moving.
However, many of them are ineffective in distinctly illuminating the license plates at night from a distance.
Further, many of them require significant structural changes and cannot readily be substituted for the conventional license plates.
Additionally, many of them require significant manufacturing process changes and cannot readily be manufactured using the present manufacturing system.

Embodiment Construction
[0016]In this disclosure, an article “a” or “an” refers to a species or a genus including multiple species. For example, a “sheet” may refer to a single sheet or multiple sheets as long as the sheets are integrated and treated as one sheet or may refer to a type of sheet regardless of the number of sheets. The “sheet” may refer also to a plate-shaped structure which may be flexible or rigid. Further, in this disclosure, any two numbers of a variable can constitute a workable range of the variable as the workable range can be determined based on routine work, and any ranges indicated may include or exclude the endpoints. Additionally, any values of variables indicated (regardless of whether they are indicated with “about” or not) may refer to precise values or approximate values and include equivalents, and may refer to average, median, representative, majority, etc. in some embodiments. The term “constituted by” refers to “comprising”, “consisting essentially of”, or “consisting of”...

An illuminated plate for motor vehicles includes: a base sheet; an electroluminescent sheet; a background sheet which is transparent, translucent, or reflective, and which has a cutout section constituted by openings shaped in characters for display; character inserts which are transparent or translucent and shaped in the characters, which character inserts are infixed in the corresponding openings of the characters in the cutout section; and a clear cover sheet.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to an illuminated plate for motor vehicles, such as a license plate.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]The conventional license plate is integral for vehicle identification and for traffic officials for checking data about automobiles. This type of license plate is easy to monitor during the daytime, but can be rather challenging to view or check during the nighttime. Incandescent lights are used as the conventional license plate lights, but do not provide sufficient intensity of illumination to readily recognize the license plate number at night from a distance, particularly while the vehicle is moving.[0005]Illuminated license plates are known. However, many of them are ineffective in distinctly illuminating the license plates at night from a distance. Further, many of them require significant structural changes and cannot readily be substituted for the conventional li...
