ABSTRACT:
A pseudo-luminous panel has a substrate and a thin film optical color filter formed all over the main surface of the substrate with or without a reflecting film interposed therebetween. The main surface of the substrate is formed by obliquely downward and upward band-like surfaces alternately arranged side by side in a vertical direction. The downward band-like surfaces of the substrate, or downward band-like surfaces of the reflecting film formed on the downward band-like surfaces of the substrate are each a smooth reflecting surface. The upward band-like surfaces of the substrate, or the upward band-like surfaces of the reflecting film formed on the upward band-like surfaces of the substrate, are each a smooth, irregular or uneven reflecting surface. Obliquely downward band-like surfaces of the color filter are each a smooth surface extending straight in the longitudinal section of the panel, and obliquely upward band-like surfaces of the color filter are each a rough surface. With the pseudo-luminous panel of such a structure, it is possible to prevent that a pattern on the panel is too dazzling in the daytime and too dark at night to recognize in a predetermined hue when the panel is set up outdoors high above the ground.
