Abstract

See full text

Decorative or protective appliqués' or trim panels having a wide range of decorative patterns may be formed by injection molding a backing layer behind and a transparent outer layer on the top surface of a thin foil, film, fabric or veneer. Use of multiple layers of decorative film, transparent plastic and colored/opaque plastic is also disclosed to provide distinguishing visual effects. The appliqués and trim panels may be backlighted or edge-lighted selectively by providing a light source behind or optically coupled to a runner molded as part of the transparent outer layer.
